Dior Cannage Drawstring Medium Bag
Everytime I come across a beautiful pink bag I must write about it, and this time the beautiful pink bag is by none other but Christian Dior. The bag is called the Dior Cannage Drawstring Medium Shoulder Bag and it’s stunning. I’ve never been one into drawstring handbags but this handbag is making my heart swoon, but I’m sure it’s just because it’s made in my favorite color ever. The handbag is made with quilted lambskin leather that has a tonal cannage pattern embroidery, and features aged metal hardware all over the handbag. I would consider this a plain bag, but when I saw it in pink I was drooling. If you do not love the Dior Cannage Drawstring Medium Shoulder Bag in pink, it also comes in beige, red and white. I will admit the shape of the bag is a little bit odd, but if you love drawstring style handbags you will love this bag. The inside of the Dior Cannage Drawstring Medium Shoulder Bag is quite handy giving that it has a cell phone, pouch and zipped pocket. Very cute handbag, but I’m not sure I would wear it much.

The Dior Cannage Drawstring Medium Shoulder Bag retails for $1,450 over at eLUXURY, but is now on sale for $1,015. It is a steep price but, considering that the handbag is made by Dior which is made in Italy, I’m not too surprised. It’s an adorable handbag and comes in different colors to fit your style. If you have the extra cash to spend, I would say it definitely is a stunning handbag to add to a collection.

Be & D handbags are just amazing, which is why I was pumped to hear the news that the designer brand is relaunching Garbo bag, plus adding small leather goods just in time for their spring collection. Can’t wait for that!

Felix Rey Love & Peace Tote
Any fans of handbags with bold messages on them? As we approach the winter seasons, it seems like the holidays are times to be extra loving, caring, and all that good stuff. Depending on where you reside, that might or might not be the case, but I’d like to share with you this entirely cheerful tote by Felix Rey. Meet the Love & Peace tote, and it’s pretty self-explanatory how this bag got its name. It’s big, bright, and you’re sure to spread such a lovely message this holiday season. Show off the “LOVE” message as the heart-shaped “O” doubles as a patch pocket, or wear the dove and peace-script out towards the public. Whichever side you choose, its concept is nice. So I’ll kick into reality for just a bit… this tote isn’t really something I would wear. It’s not my style, it’s a bit too cheerful, and if I were to give into this piece, I don’t think I would get much wear out of it. Plus, the $450 price tag for this tote bag is nowhere near convincing for me. Ladies, what’s your input on the Love & Peace tote? Would you wear this?

Rebecca Minkoff Jamie Wallet
Rebecca Minkoff is not a designer that is well known for her wallets. Over at TBF, when someone is referring to a Rebecca Minkoff design, it is typically the famous Morning After Bag. Sure, the Morning After Bag is wonderful. But I do, occasionally, like to acknowledge the existence of other Rebecca Minkoff styles. Everything from the Rendezvous Clutch to the Beau Tote, Rebecca Minkoff has a little something for everyone. But what you may not know is that Rebecca Minkoff makes small accessories as well. They are not currently being offered on the official website. However, there are several styles of wallets and coin purses available. Take, for example, this wallet I have here. It’s called the Jamie Wallet. Personally, I think it looks more like a small clutch than a wallet. But, hey, maybe it could double as one! I love the black and white combo as well. It really gives it an art deco feeling. Plus I love all the credit card slots and pockets inside. Nothing is more annoying than a wallet with too few spaces to keep things.

The Rebecca Minkoff Jamie Wallet measures 7.5″ x 3.5″ x 1″. It retails for the not-so-bad price of $235.

Dooney & Bourke Shiny Leather Hayden Clutch
No offense to Dooney & Bourke, but their designs have been so far off the handbag radar lately that they might as well not even exist. Why? Well, quite frankly, they are just plain ugly. Plus they are way too kiddie looking for the hardcore bagista. I understand that the company wanted to explore other markets, but why not make some normal looking bags that adults can appreciate? So when the original Hayden bag was first introduced, everyone at TBF was surprised by how non-Dooney like it was. Of course it wasn’t a show stopper by any means, but it was way better than the bag Emma Roberts designed! And now it looks like our friend Hayden Panettiere has gotten her creative juices flowing again. Meet the Shiny Leather Hayden Clutch. It’s not too bad looking, in my opinion, for a Dooney bag. But I can’t picture myself actually buying it. I like the shape and the contrasting trim. But what it up with the lion head? Apparently it is meant to represent Hayden’s astrological sign (Leo) and it’s 24kt gold-plated too boot! Personally, I would prefer the clutch without such an embellishment.

The Shiny Leather Hayden Clutch is available in Royal Blue, Red, Fuchsia, Purple, Ivory, and Black. It retails for $295. Find it at Dooney.com. You can also find Dooney & Bourke at Macy’s

Juicy Couture Quilted Buckle Bag
Lately, I have been absolutely obsessed with Juicy Couture. I use to only crave Juicy Couture clothes, but recently I’ve been craving the accessories, bags, clothes, shoes, etc. The latest Juicy Couture handbag that has be drooling is the Quilted Buckle Tote and my oh my is this bag gorgeous. It seems as if the quilted pattern is in for this Fall/Winter handbag season and I must admit I’m loving this trend. Juicy Couture did a fabulous job at making a quilted handbag to fit in with this seasons trend, and I love it. Best part about the Quilted Buckle Tote is how roomy it is. With a height of 14 inches and a width of 17 inches, a bagista has so much room to put all her fashionable essentials plus more. The bag appears not to have a closure but it actually does. The Juicy Couture Quilted Buckle Tote has a hidden magnetic closure, which is great for those who don’t like bags that just stay open especially when you lay them down. The handbag is complete with a Juicy Couture logo charm at the bottom left hand corner. All in all I rate this handbag one of the better quilted bags I’ve seen of the season.

The Juicy Couture Quilted Buckle Tote retails for $395. Yes, it seems a little bit expensive for a handbag these days, but in reality it’s one of the cheaper quilted handbags of the season. I absolutely adore this handbag and if I wasn’t saving for a certain handbag I would definitely snatch this one up in a heartbeat!
