Lindsay Lohan Style: Jimmy Choo Carolina Oversized Clutch
Lindsay Lohan has been out a lot lately in New York City over the last couple days sporting the fall vintage-inspired Jimmy Choo rubbery eel skin Carolina Clutch. The oversized body of the rectangular clutch is dressed in black eel skin with watersnake leather featured on the front that’s topped off with a golden band that pops open to reveal a large zipper-secured mouth and a tan interior. This rubbery purse also comes with a removable chain link strap.

I own a few vintage eel skin bags and love them to death, but many of my purse enthusiast friends do not share my love for the texture. It’s a thin silky smooth texture (some say rubbery) with long lasting durability. Eel skin has been proven to be 1.5 times more durable than leather of the same thickness. So if you want your bags to last years and years to come, and you like the feel of eel skin, and more importantly you love the vintage look then you can’t miss this Jimmy Choo Carolina designer bag.

Right now the black version is currently sold out, however Saks Fifth Avenue has the gorgeous breathtaking Smoke white version available for $1,675. Although if you are craving the black version there is currently one up for bidding on ebay with 3 days left and a starting bid of $900.

Monica Bellucci Style: The Longchamp Expandable Leather Bag
The stunning Monica Bellucci recently popped up on our “celebrities with designer handbags” radar sporting the daily essential Longchamp Expandable Leather Bag while on the set of her new movie ‘Ne te retourne pas’ in Lecce, Italy over the weekend.

The Gorgeous Italian actress/model was the recent covergirl for French jeweler and watchmaker Cartier and also for luxury designer house Dior.

The bag she is carrying is Longchamp’s new simple expandable, a great daily purse. It features a soft pebbled leather body with stud silver accents and the duo side zippers even allow for additional room – just zip down for some extra breathing room. The color she is carrying is called Fox brown and unfortunately I couldn’t locate that bag online (try calling Lonchamp 888.828.8081). However, saks has the lovely white version available.
