Prada | Cervo Animalier Satchel | $2,250 | View!
This is my number one pick of the week. I love it, just look at it, the dark chocolate brown deerskin leather satchel adorned with an eye-catching dragon detailed buckle closure and luggage Prada tag with the same serpent detailing and topped off with a dangling side gold chain. Oh I adore this bag!

This lovely new addition retails for an extravagant $2,250. Can I just not pay condo rent for this month and get this lovely bag? If only life was that simple. Due to high demand for this fab bag, customer may not order more than three units of this item every thirty days. Expected shipment date for this new Prada Cervo Animalier Satchel will be no later than October 23rd.

Versace | Quilted Snap Out of It Bag | $1,760 | View!
I like Versace, really I do, but this bag just doesn’t do it for me. IMO the designers at Versace need to snap out of it, tone it down a degree or two. There is way too much going on for me to fall head over heels for this Versace Quilted Snap Out of It bag. This Versace logo quilted leather fabric bag with its metallic gold leather braided arm straps and signature Versace-engraved gold metal studs and chain links and to top that all off this bag is ornamented with gold mirror plaque engraved with “Gianni Versace Couture”, and dangling to the side a removable strap attached to tiny keys that open the gold metal signature Versace-engraved locks. That sounds like a lot just writing it out, but see for yourself in the picture above. One characteristic I do like about this bag is the shape, mostly because it sort of reminds me of the Louis Vuitton Speedy. Just the shape though, nothing else about this bag looks anything like what you would see on a Louis Vuitton purse.

This Versace Snap Out of It Bag can be discovered at eluxury for a retail price of $1,760.

Marc Jacobs | Tote | On Sale $765 (reg. $1,095) | View!
It’s only the end of July but it already feels like summer break is half way over then back to school I go for my last and final year. Some of you who are enjoying this hot-hot weather may not even be thinking about school beginning. Those of you who are heading back to school this fall and are searching for a school bag that’s big enough to hold all your crap and durable enough to not bust at the seams and tough enough to be thrown and tossed around and of course must look stylish (I am one of those looking for such a bag) then I would recommend this bag. But even if you are not a student then this Marc Jacobs tote would look and work great on those relaxed casual days. Oh and good news too, it’s on sale!

This Marc Jacobs tote is available in butter and nutmeg. Personally I like the nutmeg color the most, the other butter color is too yellow, and I hate yellow bags (very rare to hear me rave about a yellow bag).
Measurements of this roomy tote are 16″ length x 9.5″ width x 5.5″ height – perfect for a school tote.

Burberry | Small Satchel | $625 | View!
When you think of Burberry what comes to mind? I get the image of Burberry’s signature iconic nova check pattern. This small satchel pictured above is not made with the tradition Burberry Check fabric, but something about it just leaves the thought that it is a Burberry. Maybe I am the only one that sees it or thinks this, possible because I stare at handbags all day. To me what stands out is the long buckle straps in the front and on the sides and grained pebbled leather with an interior decorated with the Burberry Nova Check fabric, and the four feet on the bottom of the bag to protect it from scuffing.

Gucci | Evening Bag | $1,490 | View!
I remember seeing this on the runway and thinking to myself – ‘wow I want that clutch!’ It would be totally perfect for me! When going out I am always the one that misplaces my clutch. I will leave it in the bathroom, on the table, in the taxi, or just set it in some random place and totally forget about it. With this Gucci Evening bag your valuables will stay with you all night. Measurements are about 5″ height x 14″ length x 1″ width

This bag comes in other colors but at Saks this bag is only available in black or white at this time. This little cutie goes for a steep $1,490.00

Kate Spade | Abstract Dot Baby bag | $185 | View!
Today is a big day for me. Right now I am baby sitting my 3 year old niece Taya – reason for it being such a “big day” is because I have never babysat in my life. I don’t exactly know what I am supposed to be doing, so it’s going to be an interesting day.

I don’t know what kind of baby bag Taya has, but if I were to have a little one I would love to have this simple and very perfect for spring Kate Spade Abstract Dot Baby bag. This bag is made up of two-toned canvas in natural / black and is accompanied by a polka dot changing pad reverses to easy-to-clean green nylon. Retail price of the chic baby bag is $185.

Salvatore Ferragamo | Medium Marisa Shoulder Bag| $990 | View!
Who is your favorite designer? If we are talking handbag designers of the season I would definitely go with Fendi, Chloe, and Marc Jacobs. However, after viewing the gorgeous Salvatore Ferragamo bags at Saks.com I think I’m going to have to add that designer to my list. This is the fabulous luxe metallic leather Salvatore Ferragamo Marissa Bag – accented with the signature gancini closure and decorated pleated detailing this bag measures in at 10″ height x 17″ length x 2″ width (the medium size).

Celebrities and Their Handbags
Celebrity | Paris and Nicky Hilton | Ysl Muse
Paris and Nicky Hilton at the Lia Sophia Clam Bake at the Polaroid Beach House.
So apparently socialite Paris Hilton believes she is carrying on the legacy of legendary blondes like Marilyn Monroe and Princess Diana, and that “There is nobody in the world like me. I think every decade has an iconic blonde – like Marilyn Monroe or Princess Diana – and right now, I am that icon. I read these stories about me starting fights and saying stupid stuff. I have become a cartoon. Nobody seems to get that how I am on ‘The Simple Life’ is a character. I even know what a (US discount store) Wal-Mart is. I play dumb like Jessica Simpson plays dumb. But we know exactly what we’re doing. We’re smart blondes.” (I think that’s called being fake)

According to Life Style Extra, Paris Hilton bashes on celebrity children that spend there parents money. Her $50 million inheritance from great-grandfather Conrad Hilton is meaningless, because she earns her own money. She said: “I haven’t accepted money from my parents since I was 18. Since then, I’ve worked on my own. I lot of my friends still don’t have a job and they live at home, and have to ask their parents for everything. It feels good that I don’t ever have to depend on a man or my family for anything.” She added: “I’m definitely a workaholic. I love it. I think it just runs through my veins. My great-grandfather was a bellboy and had a dream to do a hotel chain, so I think I get it from him. There are a million heiresses I’ve heard of who don’t do anything with their lives.”
