Let me start this by saying that I LOVE Alexander Wang. I once saw him in SoHo late one night standing outside and peeking in the window of his store. I was out with my husband riding bikes and I couldn’t resist yelling out, “Alexander – I’m a such a huge fan!” He smiled and responded with a modest “Thank you.” He probably thought I was a crazy person, but ...

Everyone says that ‘It’ bags are OVER, but every year there’s a new bag that ‘It’ girls, editors, bloggers and fashionistas/fashionistos just have to have! This past year it’s been the 3.1 Phillip Lim Pashli Satchel – a boxy bag with vertical side zips, top handles, and a shoulder strap. It has been sold (out) in practically every color (oxblood, electric ...

I used to be so obsessed with logo-covered handbags, but as I get older I’m so much more appreciative of classic design, luxe materials and simplicity in a designer handbag. I so love the look and feel of python bags, thus I’m obsessed with luxury accessory line Hunting Season. Designer and creator Danielle Corona, cut her fashion ‘teeth’ working in the accessory atelier at ...

Givenchy’s Antigona bag is a haute, sleek, and stunning satchel seen on tons of celebs and pretty much has reached cult status. And, it’ll set you back anywhere between $1,500 for the small version to almost $3,000 for croc-emmbossed or quilted leather versions. Lovely bag but the price definitely does not fit all budgets. Luckily there’s an alternative bag that looks just as hot ...

Of all the designer handbags I have seen while blogging over the past seven years, these have to be some of the most interesting. Alexander Wang debuted glow in the dark designer handbags for Spring 2013! Normally I’d think glow in the dark anything was just a fun trend to try for Halloween. But Alexander Wang has really taken it to a designer level. And the former scientist in me is equally ...

Maybe I’ve watched one too many commercials for “The Last Exorcism” but when I saw this Givenchy Antigona Madonna-Print Large Shopper Bag in my inbox, I was not intrigued, but terrified! With a partly concealed, slightly haunting face on the front, at first glance I thought it looked a bit ghastly and creepy. I was relieved to learn the imagery wasn’t anything ghostly or ghoul-like; ...

As we’ve seen over the years, any and EVERYTHING inspires handbag design. Don’t believe us? Check out this, this, this, this, this and this. Those were pretty bad. This Chloe Ivory Charlie Zigzag Tote isn’t as crazy, but was obviously inspired by Charlie Brown. And I love a good Charlie Brown Halloween and Christmas special as much as the next person but The Peanuts in my luxury ...

Move over oxblood – there’s a new trend in town. The color for Fall may have been shades of oxblood (wine, burgundy, Bordeaux – call it what you will). But it seems the print to fall for this season is plaid. Coming in numerous shades and styles (like our fave – tartan), plaid print is everywhere in fashion. Tartan was popularized by Scottish kilts, and the pattern consists of criss-crossed ...

The era of Mod fashion has always been one I was into. To this day, I love a good A-line minidress with a mock neck and some interesting colorblock graphic prints. À la Twiggy. I’m immediately sold on anything that has a geometric print, or contrasting colors accented by sharp lines. Which is one of the reasons I love Marni so much. Everything from their wood platform heels to their geometric ...

A Few Goody Gumdrops is puzzled by Salar’s shoulder bag! Is it a tablemat or handbag? Handbag du Jour thinks if you like handbags and vampires, you’ll love the Maison Du Posh ‘Bite Me’ suede & Swarovski clutch! Shopping and Info found the best designer lilac purple colored jackets, bags, denim and more for you to shop now. TheFind shares the latest in prom dress trends ...

If you’re a woman who loves handbags, vampire movies and sarcastic expressions, this may be the perfect bag for you! The ‘Bite Me’ clutch by Maison Du Posh is a petite round lamb suede minaudiere that at first glance looks perfectly girly. But then there’s the trim: a brass metal ‘jaw’ and ‘teeth’ with Swarovski crystal-covered fangs! Ouch – it ...

Thou shall not covet someone else’s stuff. Unless it’s this hot pink Celine Leather Luggage Tote. The Celine Leather Luggage Tote is easily the frontrunner for the ‘It’ bag title and the bag in itself inspires envy among bagistas in the know, with its luggage-inspired silhouette, sturdy double handles and distinctive curved raised piping detail. And in this flouro pink hue ...

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 ...

As much as I adore Christian Louboutin shoes, I can’t always get into his handbags. Sure there have been some winners, but there have been a few head-scratchers too. For someone who loves with a passion, studs, spikes, chains and all things rocker-esque on a bag, the Christian Louboutin Artemis Spike-studded Metallic Python shoulder bag is an example of a bag that’s just doing too much. ...

If you follow Handbag du Jour regularly, you know that there’s nothing I love more than studs on a bag. No matter what silhouette, style or material of the bag, studs always take it up a notch and add a little extra edge. I think a studded bag balances perfectly with a sweetly feminine outfit like a flirty dress, and equally well with a more rocker-style outfit of a blazer, tee and leather leggings. ...
