It’s Lady Gaga and she’s dressed to catch some serious attention her way. I applaud the “Poker Face” singer for her unique sense of style as it takes some serious confidence to walk out in public wearing skin tight white leggings. They appear to be vinyl and it looks to me like one wrong flex of a muscle and they’ll simply slit open. Her choice of all white appears costume like, so clean and a serious magnet to stains and dirt. With her all white outfit, Lady Gaga accessorizes with an all white satchel, the Plage Privée Lily’ Triple Zip Satchel by D&G Dolce&Gabbana.

Out of all the D&G bags I’ve ran into, I wouldn’t call this one my favorite. It’s the boxy-domed body with the long handles that scream boring to me. Its all white silhouette with gold hardware is lovely, but other than that, I’m not feeling this satchel. Lady Gaga appears to be a fan of this style, and if you’re in search of a classy structured satchel, D&G’s Lily Zip might be the one for you.

For the ladies who can’t do white leather bags, you can find this style via Nordstrom in classic black, or in pool blue with zip multicolor trim.

When I first took a glimpse of the CC Skye Niki Clutch, I instantly thought of Versace. When taking a quick look at the clutch you would literally think that it’s a piece by Versace due to the gold hardware. It’s not until you look closer that you can see that the clutch is in fact by CC Skye.

The CC Skye Niki Clutch comes in three different colors: Black; Electric Blue; and White. My favorite color the clutch comes in would have to be Electric Blue. The Black and White versions are also stunning, but the actual color of the blue is gorgeous and is more unique than the others.

Whichever color you choose, you can’t go wrong. Each CC Skye Niki Clutch would be stunning for either day or night. The clutch isn’t too casual or fancy, making it quite versatile. You could wear this clutch with either jeans and a top or an evening dress and it will still look fabulous.

The CC Skye Niki Clutch can be purchased in all three colors at Couture Candy for $310. The price is a little bit much for a clutch, but no one can deny that this clutch is a pure beauty.

I love big bags that I can take with me on a road trip or on an airplane as a carry-on bag. The Jules Weekender Tote in Ocean Exotic by Julie K Handbags is not only perfect for a trip, but it’s beautiful!

My absolute favorite feature of this bag are the subtle snake scales that are all over the leather. Being that the handbag is exotic it really makes the handbag look unique and not to mention stunning. Without the snake scales, this handbag would be like any other big leather tote.

The Weekender Tote is also quite large, so it would be great for a trip or just on those days where you feel like carrying an extra large handbag. The measurements of the handbag are 23″ x 15 1/2″, which make it great for all of your everyday essentials, lap top, shoes, clothes etc. You can fit so much in this bag that you would probably want to carry it everywhere with you. If I owned this bag, I would probably make it a school bag. It would be a stylish but yet spacious way to carry my books, and lap top.

You can purchase the Jules Weekender Tote in Ocean Exotic by Julie K Handbags for $649 at Couture Candy.

It’s mommy to be for the second time, Nicole Richie, out in the spotlight once again with one of the many Balenciaga bags she owns. My favorite Simple Life Star was spotted at the LAX airport dressed in her casual black tights, scarf, and tee outfit, regardless of her simplicity, I think she still looks great. Traveling across the country to promote her jewelry line for House of Harlow, I can only imagine what goodies you can find in her oversized BBag.

If you plan to travel large and in style, the best piece Balenciaga has to offer is hands down the Weekender, and it looks like Nicole seems to agree. Soft white lambskin and aged hardware make up this handle top beauty, and its rocker chic tassel features gives away its identity. Balenciaga named this pretty the Weekender for a reason, its huge! This isn’t your average tote bag, as this measures in at a cool 19.7” x 15.4” x 5.9”. You can pick up your very own large beauty for $1,695 or one of it’s more common sized siblings such as the work or city for a couple of bucks less.

Loving Nicole Richie’s style? You can shop her bag of choice via: Bluefly or find great deals on Authentic Balenciaga’s through eBay
