Haute bag of the week: Kara Ross Prunella Python Envelope Clutch
May 28, 2010 by Ehmonie Hainey · Leave a Comment
Kara Ross makes gem-encrusted baubles that make us swoon, and so do her luxe clutches. The Kara Ross Prunella Python Envelope Clutch is a pretty pink gem of a bag. A flat envelope-shaped clutch gets the jewelrs treatment with a central hematite stone surrounded by gleaming gold hardware. A front flap conceals a magnetic snap closure with an interior pocket and the bag is luxuriously lined in suede. Kara Ross certainly knows how to create a masterpiece, both in baubles and in bags.
Celebrate the release of Sex and the City 2 with ‘Keep Calm and Carrie On’ accessories
May 27, 2010 by Ehmonie Hainey · 6 Comments
What are your Sex and the City 2 plans this weekend? Are you having dinner and drinks with the girls then heading over to see the film? Or are you taking your very own Mr. Big? Or maybe you’ve already hit the pre-screenings and are going to see it a few more times. However you plan to see SATC, make sure you bring along one of these limited edition collection of “Keep Calm and Carrie On” accessories to tote along your essentials and maybe a pair of flats (when those Manolos get too tough to walk in). The collection includes adorable bags, like the Small Cosmetics Bag ($20), Traveling Toiletries Bag ($25), and Large Canvas Tote ($20). Each is a playful spin on the popular UK slogan first introduced in 1939 featuring the image of King George VI’s crown.
We think Carrie, our reigning Queen (of fashion) would approve!

LaLa Vazquez has a date with her mom and her ‘Fling’
May 25, 2010 by Ehmonie Hainey · 1 Comment
LaLa Vazquez was spotted in L.A. having dinner with her mom at celebrity hotspot Beso restaurant. She reportedly was filming her upcoming VH1 reality show that night. Wearing a pink satin dress with a wide black belt paired with black heels, she accessorized with diamond jewelry, a wrist tattoo and her Rebecca Minkoff Fling Clutch. Pretty from head to toe!
Kelis takes fashion risks with the Alexander Wang Brenda
May 25, 2010 by Ehmonie Hainey · Leave a Comment
Ahh, Kelis. We gotta love her individuality, even when she takes fashion too far. Lately she’s been rockin a curly hair/braid/mullet combo that is a definite head-scratcher, but we do applaud her fashion risk-taking. Even when it doesn’t quite pay off. She was recently spotted in London sporting that strange hairdo, a bullnose ring, multicolored scarf, a plaid poncho and her denim blue Alexander Wang Suede Brenda Zip Chain Bag. Wonder which item doesn’t belong in this picture?

Haute handbag pick: the Marc by Marc Jacobs Party Girl Tribal Pixie Bucket Bag
May 25, 2010 by Ehmonie Hainey · Leave a Comment
There’s something about this small studded drawstring bucket bag that makes us want to don a leather vest, fedora and denim cutoffs, sling it over our arm and head to a concert in the park. The Marc by Marc Jacobs Party Girl Tribal Pixie Bucket Bag is petite yet packs a punch with its pebbled leather, gunmetal grommets and assorted stud detail. The long (24″) grommeted strap allows you to wear it crossbody style with ease.
Celebrity handbag spotting: Halle Berry totes the Gustto ‘Falcha’ Shoulder Bag
May 25, 2010 by Ehmonie Hainey · 9 Comments
We heart Halle Berry’s California-girl style. From boho chic sundresses to tees and yoga pants, no matter what she wears, she can do no wrong. She was spotted leaving a friend’s house in Hollywood wearing a casual ‘Liv Grn’ Signorelli T-shirt, Rock Revival denim cutoff shorts and the Gustto Flacha Shoulder Bag. This cute crossbody bag is made of soft, crinkled leather and has an adjustable cross body strap that is 25 1/2″ long. With a front exterior zip pocket, expandable bottom with two-way zip closure and fold over zip top, it’s no wonder Berry chose to carry this bag. It’s fashionable AND truly functional. What more could a cool laid-back girl want?

Haute or Not: the Herve Leger Geometric Clutch
May 13, 2010 by Ehmonie Hainey · 1 Comment
Hervé Léger continues to wow us with new versions of its iconic bandage dress, yet we don’t have quite the same thrill over its handbag line. Which is weird, because designer Max Azria knows how to make a mean accessory. We wore/carried BCBG shoes and handbags for years before we were even interested in the clothing. And if you’re wearing a spectacular Hervé Léger dress (which pretty much all of them are), you want spectacular accessories to match. Read more
Rihanna: name that blue leopard clutch
May 12, 2010 by Ehmonie Hainey · 1 Comment
Rihanna was spotted doing was she does best - partying. She hung out at Mahiki Club last night in London after performing in her ‘Last Girl On Earth’ tour at O2 Arena. Partying til 4 am? Check. Half-empty bottle of rum. Check. Haute outfit. Check. Rihanna and her best friend Melissa donned similar looks - denim tops and a beige bandage skirt for Rih Rih. We nnever thought a denim shirt would work with a bandage skirt but as always, Rihanna pulled it off nicely. The piece that really made the outfit work though was her blue leopard clutch bag. We think it’s Jimmy Choo but aren’t sure. Any guesses?

Alexander McQueen’s Faithful medium polished-leather satchel is our new ‘old Faithful’ bag
May 7, 2010 by Ehmonie Hainey · 1 Comment
We never tire of Alexander McQueen bags. Especially now that he’s gone, we cherish his designs that much more. His Faithful collection began with a Michael Jackson-inspired Faithful glove clutch and the Faithful large tote that all the celebrities flocked too. Kelly Osbourne, Janet Jackson and Keri Hilson, just to name a few, have been entranced by McQueen’s Faithful bags. And now there’s a new addition to the collection – the Alexander McQueen Faithful Medium polished-leather satchel ($1,335). Read more

Kim Kardashian flies with her friends - Chanel and Balmain
May 6, 2010 by Ehmonie Hainey · Leave a Comment
Have celebrities made you step up your travel style? No more are the days of wearing comfortable clothes to get through your flight. Now it’s a runway show on the runway – airport runways that is. Sure celebs are being harassed by the paps at the airport but now it’s becoming a trend to look super stylish while you fly. Kim Kardashian is one of those celebs that never gets caught out looking less than her best. She was spotted in the airport in a mix of couture and boho-chic. Ripped jeans, oversized shades, a knit jacket and long scarf were paired with Balmain black lace-up leather ankle boots and a black, quilted Chanel Flap bag. Now that’s one way to go – looking fly while you fly!
