Paris Hilton is not exactly who I look toward for fashion inspiration but when it comes to her accessories, I admit I do pay attention. She’s got an enviable bag collection. more…  Read More →

Japanese handbag brand Samantha Thavasa makes cute bags but is more known for its celebrity collaborations with Paris Hilton, Tinsley Mortimer and Beyonce and Solange Knowles. more…  Read More →

Although Pauric Sweeney remains a design ‘golden boy’ in my eyes, I couldn’t let this atrocity of a handbag pass. I know the 80’s have been making a strong comeback lately but that doesn’t mean we need to adopt ALL of the trends. more…  Read More →

It’s time to start thinking about Spring bags! Zagliani‘s back with their Botoxed-python creations and I’m loving this soft pink Medium JJ Shoulder bag. Pink is the color this Spring and Zagliani’s bags are always classic investment bags that make them (almost) worth their high price tags. Chain handle bags are also maiking a big comeback this Spring and I like Zagliani’s take on the ...

Whenever I hear a Beyonce song for the first time, immediately I can’t stand it, but after hearing it over and over and over again, I eventually fall in love with it, add it to my iPod and can unfortunately recite every lyric. Sometimes it’s that way with bags too – I may not appreciate it or ‘get it’ at first glance but eventually, I’m sold. That’s exactly ...

I seriously thought the end of the fall/winter 2008/2009 fashion season would be the end of fugly bags. I was wrong. Maybe my expectations were too high but I’ve been seeing so many beautiful spring bags lately that I just wasn’t expecting something so odd looking. The D&G Dolce & Gabbana ‘Waikiki Jenna’ Shoulder Bag has one plus since it’s in my fave color, pink, ...

Ok, obviously pink is the color of the moment. Fuchsia, hot pink and magenta bags are popping up everywhere and the color, combined with the fabulous touch of Pauric Sweeney equals a must have bag! more…  Read More →

I’m a sucker for anything shiny and sparkly. Not tacky shiny and sparkly stuff, but classy things. Usually this includes jewelry – diamonds preferably! But I’ll go for other accessories too like shoes (love my Tory Burch flats with the big gold logo plate on the toe), wallets (also love my bronze metallic Lovcat wallet) and of course metallic handbags. Clutches are better so I don’t ...

There’s something about pastel bags that make me think “Yay, Spring has sprung!”. Well, of couse it hasn’t yet – the days in NYC are still bitter cold but nothing is better than a pastel bag to brighten up a cold winter day! Pastel bags are the grown up’s version of Easter eggs, baskets and candy – what could be better than all the colorful treats you loved ...

How cute is this magenta Gryson bag? I’ve liked the brands bags in the past but never had the urge to buy one because I felt they were a bit too structured and sturdy, which isn’t a bad thing but sometimes you want a sturdy bag that looks soft. And this one does. The Hannah Bag has the same features we’ve come to love from designer Joy Gryson - structured satchel silhouette, multiple ...

There’s so many haute bags to choose from so when purchasing my own, I try to buy from different designers. But Marc by Marc Jacobs has so many adorable options that I can’t help but want to buy all of them! The Marc by Marc Jacobs Leather Hobo is a gorgeous hobo bag that comes in a chic tan tone that would be great for Spring but I’m really loving the standout royal blue. It’s ...

Some trends just seem inescapable and fringe is one of them. Every season I see another fringe bag and cringe at the thought of the trend coming back full force. But this new take on fringe from Cleobella might make the trend one worth revisiting. The Cleobella Alive Fringe Bag ($528) is a large pebbled leather satchel with irregular, chunky strips of leather pieced throughout the bag to give a ‘fringe’ ...

Dear Haute Girl, I would really appreciate it if you could identify Victoria Beckham’s white handbag with one handle. Camilla L. more…  Read More →

Rebecca Minkoff successfully incorporates this Spring’s neon trend into her classic Morning After Bag (MAB). The perfect every day (and night) bag gets a fresh makeover with pink fluorescent piping against the edges of this smooth black leather bag. I’m a little bit thrown off by the gold hardware – it doesn’t really complement the neon pink trim. I think silver or gunmetal ...

Sophia Bush hosted the LeSportsac 35th Anniversary Celebration in NYC this past week. I’ve always liked LeSportsac bags, especially the collaboration collection they did with Gwen Stefani a few years ago. more…  Read More →
