Yesterday I received an email from Julie over at Style Violet, a new trendy boutique to hit the internet world of fashion. Many unique collections for every fashionista such as 213 Industry, Andante, Beau Bois, LA Made, Latico Leather, Pink Spike, San Diego Hat, Tulle, ect. – all of which are at an affordable price.

So after browsing their section of Accessories this gorgeous red beauty caught my eye – the Bow Tie Handbag by Style Violet. To be honest I wasn’t surprised when Julie told me this bag sold out last week. . . fear not, they just got a new shipment in. Just incase I had you worried there for a minute. However I am not promising anything here, this bag can be sold out soon. They do have other nice looking bags that you may find to fit your style incase they temporarily run out of this one.

I love this bag! I had to have it . . . I just ordered one. Let me tell you, I can not wait to get it! I have a similar almost identical bag to this – a purple Maxx New York purse which I paid around $250ish for, so you can imagine the excitement I feel after discovering this pretty red handbag for only $36.

Designer Handbag Deal of the Day!
On Sale $102. | Check it Out!
Whenever it comes time for me to browse around for a designer deal I always seem to come across Kate Spade handbags, purses and accessories. I personally find that to be a little interesting. Rather than buy a purse that I know I will wear once or twice before it’s marked down on sale, I will just wait now, if it’s Kate Spade. On sale today is this discounted and soon to be gone forever leather Alexa wristlet. Still available in oro (gold, shown) or anthracite (pewter) metallic textured leather. Measurements of this little stunner are 4″ height x 8″ width. View more at Neiman Marcus!

Dooney & Bourke Catalog
So my internet friends over at Dooney & Bourke were nice enough to inform me that they have a new spring 2006 catalog out that’s filled with fashionable new bags. So here are some random pics that I admire.

Bubble Collection | medium hobo | $220
If you have had the chance to browse through this catalog, then you may have noticed this new Bubble collection is one of the newbies.

Bolero Collection | $365
What can I say? I guess the bag is growing on me. It’s kind of spunky and creative yet unique and a very different bag.

Medium Double Handle Three Pocket Tote (left) | $345
Large Ring Flap (right) | $220
Nothing new, but for those of you who don’t like signature logo’s on your bag then Dooney & Bourke made these bags for you.

Tattoo Collection | barrel bag | $155
Totally forgot to tell all you Dooney & Bourke fashion lovers about this one.

DB Lunch bag | $30
Some bags just shouldn’t make it to production. I guess this would make a nice beach bag, that’s the only occasion.

The inside has one zip pocket, and a cell phone pocket!

Michael Kors | Ostrich Drawstring
I rarely get excited when I see new Michael Kors line. I have about 10 various Michael Kors bags that I purchased over the last couple years, some of which never been worn. I commonly would get sick of the design before even taking it out of the dust bag. I have no idea what do with them now, they just sit in their little dust bags underneath all my other bags. I was considering throwing them up on eBay however, Michael Kors bags usually don’t get a high return, I may get $10 per bag. So for that reason I try to veer away any new Michael Kors lines, yet there are a few bags that I find myself wanting, like this Ostrich Drawstring Satchel. It’s the luxurious textured ostrich combined with the leather drawstring and contrast stitching that leave me desiring this bag to be part of my wardrobe. You can glance over this bag at Bergdorf Goodman

This is where I’m going to be in 5 minutes. . . walking through those doors to glance over the newest Louis Vuitton glam-goods. I personally can’t wait to see the new Louis Vuitton fuchsia Monogram Denim collection in person. I saw a couple snapshots of this line up on eBay a couple days ago and the color looks so much brighter then the bags up on eluxury. I wasn’t completely surprised by this. Most of you know, well for those of you who didn’t know eluxury commonly places pictures of fake bags up on their site, to discourage counterfeiters from stealing or copying their images.

So what has happened since last Monday’s News? Some of you who come back every day or every other day to read my purse posts may have noticed the new images. Well, I attempted to be creative and experiment in photoshop, so this is what you get – pretty images for you to glance over. I added “Glamorous Designer Item of the Week” and fashion related “Bag Bliss says Read this Book” – these will be changed weekly. Oh yes and for those of you who love Bag Bliss so much, check out the Bag Bliss glamtastic wear and before you leave remember to sign the guestbook.
