PRADA Satin Jeweled Purse
Ever since I read about the 478-carat diamond mined in Lesotho, Africa this month, I’ve reminded myself of how much I love the dazzle of gems, especially diamonds! After doing a bit of handbag browsing, I discovered this lovely over at Bluefly (dot com). Meet the Satin Jeweled Clutch by Prada. Leave it to the House of Prada to create such a stunning little piece. Isn’t it pretty? I can only imagine what perfect touch of glam this clutch would assist to any formal attire. A cluster of crystal and black gems garnish the front flap of this piece, while the Prada logo in metal is applied to its posterior side. Smoke is the only color you can find the rich satin material in and for a short time only, or until they’re gone, you can find this piece marked down 20% off! Don’t get too excited because even at that, this little gem does carry one hefty price tag of $840! To think how such a petite accessory could be so expensive, just cross your fingers and hope those gems stay in place forever! If you seek to add a true eye-catching Prada to your collection, you can find this jewel over at: Bluefly

Shiny New Sale – Going on Now at Shop Bop
Summer is officially over. It’s time to wave goodbye to your shorts and flip flops. Unfortunately, you won’t be needing them any longer (Dang, I love my flip flops!). For me, I’m really sad to see the summer end. It is probably my most favorite season. There isn’t snow on the ground and my allergies aren’t driving me up the wall. Plus I just love those lazy afternoons, where there’s nothing to do but sit around and enjoy your sweetie’s company.

But there is something good about the changing of the seasons. What is that you ask? Why it is all those End-of-Season sales, of course! Right now at Shop Bop, they are having their Shiny New Sale and they have tons of great handbags marked down. Below are a few of my favorites. They are all discounted by at least 30%.

Foley + Corinna Studded City Clutch
Who says you can’t wear white after Labor Day? This beauty would work well for any season. Regularly $478, it’s on sale for $239.

Cynthia Rowley Ginny Athene Oversized Clutch
It’s a magazine clutch and it’s on sale! Who would have thunk it? Regularly $275, it’s on sale for $137.50.

Rebecca Minkoff Plan B Bag
The tangerine color is so scrumptious! And it’s just right for fall too! Regularly $655, it’s on sale for $327.50.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Totally Turnlock Quinn Bag
It’s MBMJ… what more can I say? Regularly $468, it’s on sale for $327.60.

PRADA Pizzo S Satchel Handbag
One of my favorite fall trends at the moment is lace, especially black lace. I love the dark vintage look of it, yet a feminine feel is still present. Lace tops and shawls are a few additions I’ve added to my fall wardrobe, but I’m not sure if I can give into any other accessories carrying lace. I’m referring to handbags, such as the Pizzo S Satchel by Prada. Such a neat design of lace can be found on this Prada, and I must say, I really like this satchel for its details and craftsmanship. Although I give it a two-thumbs up, I’m not sure if its something I could actually give into. I can only imagine how delicate this bag is, as its not meant for everyday wear. As your typical Bagista who doesn’t really attend many formal events, I can’t see myself carrying this piece to say, school or on a shopping trip. While taking a second look at this bag, it sort of resembles an unfinished piece or if somebody “ticked-it-off”! It’s no surprised how such a bag would carry one hefty price tag of $1,995, making it way over my price range. What do you gals think about this Prada?

You guys have heard of Bing Bang by Anna Sheffield before right? Not really as well known as other handbag designers out there, but all-and-all that makes no difference when it comes down to style and function. The latest handbag by Bing Bang, called Sophia, was recently spotted on the set of hit TV Show Gossip Girl — carried by Amanda Setton as “Penelope”

Juicy Couture Lock Gossip Hobo Bag
Have you gals seen the latest products Coach has to offer? I’ve always found interest in the brands infamous Legacy line, especially in their leather goods. Chunky brass hardware and thick leathers have always been Coach details that I admire, which leaves no secret to why I truly dig the Legacy Top Handle bag. I’m not a typical Coach fanatic and I tend to browse their latest products out of curiosity in finding a stunning item, such as this bag. The giant flap top, the turn lock, and the versatile bronze hue are great! I love how much detail Coach applied to this bag, yet it’s not too hectic. Although this bag does seem pretty heavy and might cause pain or bruising to the crook of your arm, don’t give up just yet, a handy detachable shoulder strap can be found on this piece for your health convenience! This bag is really convincing, but what’s keeping me from buying it? It’s the retail price tag, as I’m definitely not feeling the $758 price tag. I think I’ll just wait until some spectacular sale goes on… that’s if I don’t find something else I want. Ladies, what’s your input on this Coach bag?

Juicy Couture Lock Gossip Hobo Bag
I have never been one to think that Juicy Couture handbags were stylish but, as I said before, lately they have been doing a fabulous job in the purse designing department. I pretty much never carry a hobo or shoulder bag for that matter, but the Juicy Couture Lock Gossip Hobo bag is one of the few hobo-like handbags that I make an exception for. What struck me about this handbag is the beautiful structure of the leather. The leather is shaped in a diagonal pattern and is just absolutely gorgeous. The Juicy Couture Lock Gossip Hobo has a zip top closure and is actually quite roomy being that it has a width of eighteen inches and a height of twelve inches. I love how the handbag has a slouchy shape to it, to me that makes any hobo have that extra edge compared to the rest out there.

The Juicy Couture Lock Gossip Hobo bag maybe pretty but, as most pretty bags, it comes with a price tag. The handbag is priced at $450, which in my opinion is too much for a handbag made outside of France or Italy. But I cannot deny the fact that this handbag is gorgeous, I just wish it wasn’t so expensive. The Juicy Couture Lock Gossip handbag comes in Black, Neutral and Sage. All of the colors look beautiful on this handbag, but my personal favorite is the Sage! So pretty that it probably won’t be around for long!
