You can’t help but to love Juicy Couture handbags. They are always oh-so-cute and kind of remind you of “little girl” handbags. By that I mean, most Juicy Couture handbags are bags that I would of wanted when I was young. I think it’s safe to say, that Juicy Couture handbags are definitely girly, but also stylish.

A Juicy Couture handbag that recently caught my eye was the “Unicorn Crown Madge Satchel.” There really isn’t anything special about this handbag, but it does have the same shape of a Louis Vuitton “Speedy” which is my favorite handbag of all time.

The “Unicorn Crown Madge Satchel” is simple and comes with an adorable little accessory that hangs from the bag. The accessory is a removable heart shaped mirror. I think the mirror is absolutely stunning but I would not keep it hanging from my bag. It would be great to put in a makeup bag or to simply throw in any handbag. To have it hang from your handbag makes it look like a key chain that would hang off of your book bag.

This handbag would make a perfect Summer bag. It’s colorful, and light that it compliments the Summer season well. I do consider this to be a day bag, and I would not carry this bag at night. It doesn’t have any features to be labeled as a evening bag. If you are looking to buy this handbag for a child though, then obviously the handbag would be great for them at any time of the day, year round.

You can purchase the Juicy Couture Unicorn Crown Madge Satchel at Nordstrom for $93, which happens to be the sale price of this bag. The original price tag of this bag was $188, therefore the sale price is a great deal. If you like this handbag I would purchase it quick, before they are all gone!

Double-dose of Lindsay Lohan purse style for today.. moments ago we posted LiLo’s weekend bag by Donna Karen. And well now she has traded that in for this fabulous beauty by Gustto

Linday was spotted leaving a friend’s house in Beverly Hills dressed super-chic in a lavender Gerard Darel blazer and accessorized with her light blue Gustto bag. Lindsay’s icy-hued Gustto Setela tote and Gerard Darel leather blazer were the perfect color accents to brighten up her otherwise all black ensemble.

Grab your own Setela bag Here at Zappos! Also available over at Bloomingdales.

Lindsay Lohan was spotted out-and-about leaving her hotel in London this weekend wearing the Eldridge bag by Donna Karan.

“For the Bohemian who still wants her polish.”- Donna Karan

The body of the Eldridge is made from fabric-like pleated leather, created out of a textured leather forming the casual hobo-like look. What’s so fabulous about this bag is that it can be worn any number of ways thanks to its convertible strap and snap buttons. It’s roomy enough to hold your day and keep your hands free without weighing you down. The DK Eldridge is available in black calfskin with a gunmetal diamond pendant.

Buying Donna Karen: Shop Saks Fifth Avenue or Nordstrom!

Can you guess the English pop singer and writer spotted getting off the escalators? Why it’s no other than Miss Lily Allen. Known for her catchy tunes and her controversial actions, I’ve learned that most people either love her or dislike her. Miss Allen is quite the outspoken celebrity, making headlines as she’s known for showing up intoxicated to events and stating negative remarks over other celebrities. Besides her wild side, she’s also known for forming quite a relationship with large fashion designers including Karl Lagerfeld and Chanel. With that said, its no surprise that the pop star is spotted around town carrying a beautiful Classic Flap bag in blue. Just take a look at how stunning her bag of choice is. Her outfit on the other hand is another story. A grey ‘LOVE’ sweater and funky bottoms look comfy but aren’t necessarily something I would pair with such a lovely bag. Although she doesn’t look bad, I guess that’s what makes all handbags in general great; you don’t automatically have to match them with the day’s outfit, although most Bagista’s do prefer to.

Listed above is the Navy Blue Chanel Classic Flap, which happens to be an awesome find I ran into via eBay. If you love Lily’s style, you can shop CHANEL goods at your local boutique or through: Authentic CHANEL on eBay

Rebecca Minkoff has a new shape for her Fall 2009 Collection. Introducing the Rebecca Minkoff Darling Shoulder Bag. It’s soft, slouchy, and it has an intriguing crescent shape. Nope, there’s nothing boxy about this “darling” new style. What I find most interesting about this bag is the tassel zipper pulls that can be found on either side. Now Rebecca Minkoff is not really known for doing tassels, so this was definitely something unexpected. But, personally, I think they are kinda cute. They give this bag a rocker-chic vibe without the employment of studs. Plus I love the idea of exterior pockets with vertical zippers. They make wonderful places to keep keys and cell phones! However, I do find the zippered belt that encircles the middle of the bag a bit more unusual. It isn’t necessarily bad, it just looks a bit out of place. I think the bag would look a tad sharper if the belt was plain leather instead and perhaps with a larger, more ornamental clasp. Overall I find the Rebecca Minkoff Darling Shoulder bag a wonderful addition to her collection. Heck, it even reminds me of Botkier a little bit and it just so happens that that is a good thing!

The Rebecca Minkoff Darling Shoulder Bag measures 14″ x 10″ x 5″ and it retails for $495. It is currently available for Pre-Order at Luna Boston!

I absolutely love the colors black and pink. Pretty much almost everything I own is either black or pink. When I come across a handbag in either one of the colors I’m usually stunned. I’m not too fond of small handbags, but the D&G Babbles is catching my eye!

I’m a girly girl to the fullest, so it’s no surprise that my favorite feature of this bag is the bow! The bow is what caught my eye about this bag. Being pink and having a bow right on the front of this bag is adorable and cute all put into one!

Another amazing feature about this bag is that it can be carried as a clutch or worn as a shoulder bag. The bag does have a shoulder chain that can be tucked inside, which gives you the option to wear the bag 1-of-2 ways!

The only downfall about this bag is that it is way too small for my needs. It would be a cute evening bag, but only on those nights when I don’t have to carry much. I’m the type of person that needs to carry as much as possible when I go out, and to only be able to carry a wallet, gum, compact and cell phone would probably kill me.

I do believe this bag can be worn either day or night just because it has that cuteness factor. It would probably be more practical to purchase the clutch in black than pink. Black is always a practical and versatile color to purchase a bag in than pink. There is no denying though, that the pink version is adorable!

The Dolce & Gabbana Babbles can be purchased in either color at Zappos: The Pink Version is available for $479 – The Black is available for $599. The price’s do seem a bit high, but when it comes to adorable designer goods it may just be worth it.
