Dooney and Bourke | lunch bag
At first glance I bet you are wondering if this Dooney and Bourke bag is fake. Well I promise you that this ‘ugly friday’ item is an authentic Dooney and Bourke lunch bag. I wonder who in there right mind would carry around this transparent plastic bag, it’s see-through and everyone you walk past will see everything. The only way I would carry around a bag like this would be if I were spending the day at the beach. Toss in the flip-flops, lotion and towel and I would be set.

Well, even though this bag isn’t my favorite, you might like it and if you do, you will be ecstatic to know this bag retails for only $28. That is one cheap Dooney! If you must have this then check it out at Dooney and Bourke

*I apologize if you own this bag or designed it, please don’t sue me.

I love the idea! Straight from the Dior Spring 2006 runway the limited edition Dior Gourmette is the ‘must-have beauty accessory of the season’. Dior’s embossed couture inspired silver metal chain ID bracelet opens to reveal two new shades of Dior Addict Ultra Gloss – pink shimmer and light bronze.

The Dior Gourmette retails for $70.

Louis Vuitton | Monogram Inclusion Speedy Key Ring
Everyday I eagerly check out the new Louis Vuitton accessories and handbags that arrive at eluxury, hoping to find something new to obsess over. Today I was thrilled when I discovered this Louis Vuitton Monogram Inclusion Speedy Key Ring. The design for this Louis Vuitton key ring expands on the Monogram Inclusion theme first presented in the 2005 Cruise Collection – creating this cute mini Speedy bag charm. This mini Speedy bag is decorated with swarovski crystals and golden brass Monogram flowers and ‘LV’ initials. This key ring can also be attached to one’s bag as a charm for that touch of Louis Vuitton glam.

This adorable little key ring retails for $235 at eLUXURY, also for a limited time take advantage of the Free Shipping Promotion

Celebrities and their Hermes Birkin and Kelly bags!

Celebrity | Nicole Richie | Hermes Birkin
Yes I know this picture isn’t of the best quality, but you can barely see the bag on Nicole Richie’s arm is the black 40cm Birkin.

Ashley Olsen | Hermes Birkin
I like Ashley’s outfit in this picture. The bag looks so big on her, it looks like one side being pulled down by this large 35cm Hermes bag while her other side is keeping balance with her Range Rover.

Lindsay Lohan | Hermes Birkin
My favorite bag of the day is this gorgeous blue jean Hermes Birkin.

Victoria Beckham | Hermes Kelly
Last snapshot for celebrity Monday is this picture of Posh Spice toting around this shearling Kelly Hermes bag. I didn’t even know this bag existed until this picture surfaced.

Forget the insane waitlist!

Find Hermes on eBay and Portero!

Burberry | $895
This yellow bag pictured here is new to the House of Burberry for the spring 2006 season. To me this bag is nothing special, the color is the main eye-catcher but other then that this bag just doesn’t spark my interest.
If you like the tan cotton dress with cognac leather belt it can be yours for $695.

Burberry | $695
One of the new Burberry bags from the spring 2006 season is this simple tote. This cognac leather Burberry tote is trimmed with nova check fabric, adding just a touch of Burberry charm. The measurements of this tote are 14″ x 12″ x 4″.

Burberry | $1,200
Check out this stunning Burberry bag in black leather with embossed check fabric. I love it! The measurements of this bag are 19″ x 14″ x 7″.

Most of these bags I couldn’t find on the Burberry Site, so if you are interested in purchasing one then call the Burberry people at 877-832-6300. Or call up a neighboring store that sells these designer bags, they may have a few in stock or know of when they will be.

I never really liked Roccobarocco bags, I guess the first thing that comes to mind is their ugly signature line, but I must admit I adore this lilac zip leather satchel bag. Also available in classic black, this canvas Roccobarocco bag is super spacious with measurements of 15″ width x 9″ height x 4″ depth. I like to carry around everything important to me, basically my whole life is in my bag. Everything that I can think of is in there – notebooks, ipod, cell, disks, wallet, cosmetic case, sunglasses, umbrella, ect. It makes me feel like this roomy satchel was designed for me.

You can spot this Roccobarocco bag and many other lovely Designer Bags at YOOX! ID# rr13115-006

Here are a few snapshots of glam bags from the fall 2006 runway show that I fell in love with.

Frida Giannini did a remarkable job with these gorgeous new Gucci bags for the fall 2006 season. Her designs did slip in some knowingly high-nineties accessories – the metal bags chained to a cuff.
Love it!

The Louis Vuiton Vernis and Epi leather are my two favorite lines from the house of Louis Vuitton. I’m posting double pics today because I am at a crossroad between deciding which wallet I want to get. Basically I need something that’s roomy enough to store all my essentials that I can use as a wallet and stylish enough to use as a clutch. Oh decisions can be so hard. . .

Louis Vuitton | Monogram Vernis | Porte-Tresor International
Price $550

The modern silhouette and glazed shiny finish on this Monogram Vernis wallet is what drew me in. Pictured above is the perle and framoise, both my favorite colors that would be perfect for spring. At this time the Porte-Tresor International is also available in red or noisette.

For those of you who like the silhouette but don’t like the shiny finish, then you should check out the Monogram Mat collection. It looks very similar to the Monogram Vernis only with a matte rather then the gloss finish.

Characteristics of Vernis Porte-Tresor International:
- Patent Monogram embossed leather with smooth leather lining
- Snap closure
- 6 credit card slots
- Long inside coin purse with hidden snap closure
- 2 long pockets for currency; leather pen holder
- Measurements: 7.5″ length x 4″ height

Louis Vuitton | Epi Leather | Porte-Tresor International
Price $505

The Epi line is so simple and recognizable that it has no need for having the ‘LV’ logo plastered all over (there is one subtle ‘LV’ embossed on one corner). Out of all the Louis Vuitton wallets, this was my first choice but the only reason I’m hesitant is that they’re all out of the Mandarin colored wallets.

Characteristics of Epi Porte-Tresor International:
- Epi textured leather with smooth leather trim and leather lining
- Snap closure
- 6 credit card slots
- Inside snap change pouch
- Penholder
- Two inside patch pockets
-’LV’ embossed on one corner
- Measurements: 7.5″ length x 4″ height
