Betseyville by Betsey Johnson | Jet Set Betsey Weekender | $195 | View!
Summer is the best time of the year for traveling, especially weekend trips. Personally I would love to carry around this Betseyville weekender. It’s decorated with patches of many destination hotspots, such as Tokyo, Capri, Miami, LA, ect. – the best places in the world to travel to.

Measurements of this Betsey bag are 19 1/2″ width x 14 1/2″ height x 10″ depth. Just the right size to stuff in a few pairs of clothes or whatever you would need for a short weekend trip.

If in the mood for a short little getaway, then check out Villa Betsey, located in Barra de Potosi in the state of Guerrero Mexico. A glamorous romantic and very secluded Italian-Rivera Esque Villa that sits on top of a bluff over looking the coastline.

I have important news for all you sweet people who finally discovered my forum. At this very second I am switching everything over to a new forum (vBulletin), so it can be a lot more organized. So sit tight, it is going to be down for a while (1 to 2 days), and of course I will let you know when it’s up and working.

It’s a beautiful day out so I hope you are all out enjoying your Saturday afternoon.

Designer Handbag Deal of the Day
Luella | Joni Bag | On Sale $498 (orig. $995) | View!
Have you ever wondered where a designer gets the idea of how to name a handbag line? For this Joni bag Luella decided to pay tribute to singer Joni Mitchell and designed this beautiful red textured lambskin studded bag. Oh and this bag is also available in Black python, but you have to search around for it, I couldn’t locate one online.

Contest: Louis Vuitton Wapity Case | Free (retail $275)
Time to give away some free stuff! This is a little thank you to all of you purse fanatic’s who support Bag Bliss by purchasing from my select list of affiliates in the Stores we Adore section. I spent hours, and I mean hours on trying to decide the perfect giveaway item or items. Rather then have first, second and third place with up to three different designer handbags or accessories up for grabs, I decided to settle on this little cutie. Perfect for any fashionista or fashionister. So up for grabs is the Louis Vuitton Wapity Case (retail $275), and like I said it took me a couple hours to decide on this little classic monogram Louis Vuitton multifunctional case. I fell in love with this LV Wapity pouch because of the number of uses: as a cosmetic pouch, digital case, or even a small clutch to carry the essentials like cell phone, credit cards, and keys.

About the Designer Contest Giveaway Item: The Louis Vuitton Wapity Case
- Monogram canvas with natural cowhide trim
- Polished golden brass hardware
- Removable natural cowhide strap that turns into a dark golden honey color over time
- Classic touches like the polished golden rivets with yellow topstitching
- Open interior with patch pocket
- Raspberry alcantara lining
- Measurement: 4.4″ x 3″ x 1.8″

This contest is available only to the TheBagForum users. If not a member, don’t worry, it takes less then 2 seconds to sign up if you are not a member. Well, maybe more then 2 seconds, more like 2 minutes. All you have to do is go into the forum and tell me why you adore this little Louis Vuitton Wapity. Not that hard at all. I will then choose the best answer that I feel is wapity worthy. Good Luck. Contest will end 11:59 PSD on August 31st. The lucky winner will be contacted by email.

Left: Christian Dior | Gaucho Saddle Bag | $1,395.00 | View!
Right: Alloy | Gaucho Bag | $39.50 | View!
Both bags are neat for the gaucho shape, however you get what you pay for. The designer Dior Gaucho (right) is made of supple calf leather (treated for a vintage feel) with lambskin links trim and antiqued silver metal details like the vintage “1947″ Dior medallion and large key. The Alloy Gaucho bag (left) on the other hand is made of peather / fake leather and has no unique characteristics.

Right: Forever21 | Quilted Tote | $17.80 | View!
I love all quilted bag, however it is just plain obvious that the Marc Jacobs Quilted Mischa is the winner here. Like most “designer inspired” bags the cheaper replica is usually made of pleather, like the bag pictured above.

Right: Dooney and Bourke | Denim Pocket Satchel | $225 | View!
These two bags don’t look as similar as the ones pictured above. The two denim monogram fabric bags both come from (almost) equally admired designer houses. So what do you think. . . the Louis Vuitton Baggy pm versus the Dooney and Bourke pocket satchel. Simular or unique and different?

Isabella Fiore | April Woven Bag | On Sale $318.43 | View!
This multicolor leather tote is decorated with a painted floral design and topped off with braided circular handles. I’m not super impressed with this bag. It is marked down $300 off the original price, but still this bag isn’t one of my favorites.

Isabella Fiore | Elaina Woven Tote | On Sale $354.83 | View!
The Elaina leather tote has an allover woven design with lacing, brass hardware and tassel detailing. Unlike the bag pictured above, this is the type of summer bag that I could see myself wanting. Sadly yes, only wanting – every time I find myself adoring a handbag I can’t buy it, or else by checking account would look too well.

Isabella Fiore | Carina Quilted Large Hobo | On Sale $303.73 | View!
I love quilted bag! The metallic leather Carina Quilted super roomy hobo with braided detailing is marked down $300 off the original price tag.
