Ahh…resort. It’s that lovely time of year when we get to shop the collections inspired by sunny vacation spots and tropical island beach paradises. When we think of resort we picture nothing but airy, printed caftans, large floppy straw hats, jewel-encrusted thong sandals and of course, a multicolored designer handbag. To us, the perfect vacation bag looks exotic, and features tropical ...

This is the time of year when evening bags start making their grand appearances, and we love to see all the new twists on old classics. If you’re looking for an evening bag with an interesting design, the Rebecca Minkoff Getaway Clutch does not disappoint. This cowhide leather bag takes the classic flap bag/shoulder bag style and mixes it up with ostrich stamped ‘figure 8′s’ ...

Holiday parties mean plenty of reasons to shop for party dresses, dressy shoes, haute baubles and of course, evening bags. And although we don’t really need the guise of holiday parties to shop for new handbags, in case you do, here’s one that should be on your radar. The Vivian Clutch by Tiffany & Co. (yes, that Tiffany, of the robin’s egg blue box fame) is so, so perfect for ...

I can tell I’m getting old because my handbag tastes are changing. Back in the day, I was obsessed with logo-covered handbags, but no more. Now I’m into structured leather totes without all the ‘bells and whistles’. Reed Krakoff (design director of Coach, as well is his namesake line) is one designer who creates the most simplistic, yet amazingly eye-catching and meticulously ...

We couldn’t get enough of Emily Cho’s smokin’ hot folded clutches when we first came across them last year, and after viewing the spring collection, we still can’t get enough of them! Especially these new Emily Cho Oversized Folded Clutches in Matise Floral. How gorgeous are these bags, how perfect for spring? Made of printed floral calf leather, the clutch features Emily Cho’s ...

We first came to know Joy Gryson’s handbags through her first designer label, Gryson, then her edgy diffusion line Olivia Harris. We told you earlier this year that she was also set to launch a luxury evening collection, Capsule by Joy Gryson. Well the bags are finally here! (Well, at Saks Fifth Avenue stores, anyway). The high-end bags were designed because Gryson wanted a modern alternative ...

As Chanel bags go, they typically don’t get any more luxe than the Chanel 2.55 Classic Flap Bag. But these bags, from the Chanel Spring 2012 runway, top our luxury list. The Chanel Ivory Shell Clutch and Pearl-encrusted Shell Clutch minaudières were both showstoppers on the runway and off. Made of a pearlized ivory resin, and covered in pearls, these clutches were designed to look just like ...

Blogger fashion collaborations are becoming the norm and Coach is just one brand that has been embracing bloggers in their recent campaigns. The latest? A large, leather-trimmed canvas tote co-designed by fashion blogger Emily Johnston of Fashion Foie Gras.

Tote bags have long been associated with the canvas variety but over the years have become quite more stylish. And we’ve been noticing a transition from the elongated rectangle shape with two, thin top handles, to more of a boxy, squared-shaped silhouette with shorter, wider top handles. Designers like Stella McCartney, Proenza Schouler, Jimmy Choo and Yves Saint Laurent all offer their versions ...

It’s only natural that during the fall and winter, we tend to gravitate toward neutral or darker hued bags. But I’m all for a pop of color as a little pick-me-up to shine through grey days. And this 3.1 Phillip Lim Pashli Mini Satchel is just the bag to do it. This glossy pistachio green bag is made of a beautiful croc-embossed cowhide leather. It also has a cool shape, with zip gussets ...

You can’t miss the Fiat commercials with Jennifer Lopez driving the mini car through her old neighborhood in the Bronx. And we definitely paid attention to the new commercial featuring her driving the Fiat 500 by Gucci. The new car is full of fashionable details, like the brand’s signature red and green “web” throughout the interior and exterior. But this is a blog about ...

I’ve never owned a white handbag because there’s something about wearing white that just seems to attract stains. But I’ve always loved the crisp, clean look of white leather, and if you’re not a stain magnet like me, you should snag this Axial Clutch by Phillip Lim. It’s part of the Style.com for Edition01. Edition01 is a new fashion start-up that offers a very limited ...
