Every time I hear the word ‘chameleon’, immediately think of that Boy George/Culture Club song, ‘Karma Chameleon‘ comes to mind. I don’t know why it sticks with me, especially the lyrics that go “Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dream. Red gold and green, red gold and green“. I guess you can blame growing up in the 80′s for that. And ...

Forget that logo-covered luggage that every celeb and their mom travels with. Balenciaga offers the latest in classic, understated luxury luggage. The Balenciaga Voyage Small Trolley is a sleek, cognac-colored Italian leather carry-on with two front zip closure compartments, a telescoping handle plus rolled leather side and top handles. Plus, we can’t forget about the signature thimble-like ...

VBH has come a long way from its simple yet chic envelope clutches. The handbag line created by V. (Vernon) Bruce Hoeksema, former president of Valentino, debuted back in 2000 in multiple hues and variations of leather, python, eelskin and other exotic materials. The brand later entered into big bag territory and the results were just as stunning. Our splurge of the day is this VBH Animal-Print Brera ...

Sometimes Fall bags can be boring, with the same old silhouettes, in predictable Earth-tone colors and a few touches of pony hair here; fur trim there. So we love it when a designer creates that perfect handbag that is a classic, yet attention-grabbing and utterly chic piece, all in one. Such is the case with the Valentino Rockstud Dome Satchel. It’s a fun and exciting studded bag for Fall, ...

We know, we know – most crocodile skin handbags are equivalent in price to that of a used car! But sometimes you just can’t resist a good luxury splurge. So if you’re ready, willing and able to blow a few bucks on a designer bag, then an exotic Nancy Gonzalez bag is one that’s worth it. The Nancy Gonzalez Crocodile Flap Chain Strap Shoulder Bag is great for summer in this vibrant ...

It’s rumored that the ‘It’ bag is over, but we can’t help but think there may be a few still out there. One of which may very well be this shoulder bag – the mauve python Lula by L’Wren Scott. The designer recently made fashion news when Oprah wore one of her custom looks on her finale show, and she also recently launched her line of handbags exclusively at Barneys ...

Nothing says luxury more than a gorgeously crafted Valentino bag. And the Valentino Ivory & Indigo Leather Petal Tote is a luxury that all bag lovers should indulge in. Valentino is known for its floral embellishments and this Petal Tote is no exception. This large leather satchel features a three dimensional flower across the front, with an ivory toned center and indigo-colored ombre gradation ...

We can’t get enough of python bags. Especially this one. The Diane von Furstenberg Python Hayworth Daybag is well worth the $1,950 price. You should always expect to pay more for exotic skins like python, but some designers craft a simple snake clutch and charge thousands for it. The Hayworth Daybag is a sizeable, convertible, hugely versatile satchel, so you get more luxury bag for your buck. ...

Tonight’s Gossip Girl episode, “The Grandfather: Part II“, featured what is bound to be the next ‘It’ bag flying off the shelves. The Valentino 360 made its debut on the arms of ‘Brandeis‘, Blair’s (Leighton Meester) new BFF/’working girl’. The bag featured on the show was white and black; on Valentino’s website there is a black sequin ...

So many events, so little time is becoming the story of my life in New York. Had I had more time, I would have paid a visit to Saks Fifth Avenue last night, where handbag designer Nancy Gonzalez unveiled her exclusive new bags for Spring 2010 Cruise. The silhouette is a structured shoulder flap bag in a range of sizes and colors made of caiman crocodile skin. The large size goes for $3,400; the medium ...

I’m not sure what kind of look Rihanna was going for with her conductor hat but really the girl can hardly do any wrong in my style book. She was spotted at LAX dressed down in an outfit of a black top, jacket, Grey Ant ‘Status’ sunglasses, latex leggings and Louboutin booties (yeah, that’s dressed down for her) but with her usual showstopping accessories. This time it was ...

Only a couturier like Valentino could create such artful pieces that only grace the arm! I’m not selling handbags short by any means, but bags are simple in comparison to couture clothing, yet Valentino’s touch makes them equally high-fashion and fabulous. The Valentino ‘Rose Vertigo’ Leather Shopper more…  Read More →
