Desperate Housewives star, Eva Longoria Parker, was spotted once again with her Gustto Bonba Clutch. She must really love that clutch, considering she has been photographed carrying it many times over this past year. This time, however, Eva has paired the clutch with a pair of matching suede heels and a pink jeweled minidress. After seeing Eva toting the Gustto Bonba Clutch around so many times, it has actually become a new favorite of mine. The soft leather and neutral color makes it perfect for just about any occasion, while the horizontal pleating detail gives this clutch a really unique look. She has gotten so much use out of this clutch, it truly was a wise investment on her part! Perhaps there was no need for Eva to better herself with an advanced education this year (she enrolled in graduate school for Chicano Studies and Political Science) because she seems pretty darn smart just the way she is.

The Gustto Bonba Clutch can still be found in Lime or Orange. Check it out at Zappos.com, where it retails for $399.

I swear Rebecca Minkoff never fails to impress. Here at Bagbliss and over at tBF, we’re loving everything she does! It was no surprise to see the latest twist to her popular handbag, and from the looks of it, it’s sure to be a hit. New to her line is this fun addition to her infamous Nikki hobo collection, meet the Mini Nikki Bag with Resin Handle.

As if the Nikki couldn’t get any more luxurious! We all know what a great hobo the Nikki bag makes, but what drew my attention to this piece was the collaboration of funky embossed leather, studs, and the resin handle topped with a golden metal bar accent. How could you not like this look? It’s fresh; eye catching, and a great accessory that’ll add the perfect touch of bling to your finishing outfit.

At the moment, Dark Grey Crocodile is the only color available, but we’re sure hoping for some funky cool colors to hit in embossed croc. From its size, gold toned hardware, to it’s feathered-critter lined interior, everything about this Minkoff screams chic and classy. $615 is the asking price for this Mink Nikki and you can always browse the rest of Rebecca Minkoff’s accessory collection over at: Shopbop

While browsing through Saks looking for something catchy to blog about, I ran upon the collection of the glorious Nancy Gonzalez crocodile handbags up for grabs. So many styles and colors to choose from, I couldn’t decide which of all was my favorite, not that I have intentions of purchasing such a piece, as my kind student budget doesn’t allow me to at the moment. Besides the eye-catching hues of exotic crocodile leathers, I was really observant over the different styles of handbags within her collection.

Right now, purple is my color and the pleated shoulder bag in the berry hued croc leather is simply stunning. The choice of style for the large handbag type of gal who seeks a fun interpretation of elegance.

You’ll never go wrong in black! Besides this bags rich dark leather, its cutout handles makes this style different from the rest. This roomy arm candy is a safe color to go with and is sure to keep its classy look for years to come.

Simply stunning and possibly my favorite, a selection of rich python and crocodile leathers collaborate with this gorgeous shade of matte blue-grey. A detachable strap allows a comfortable way to wear or simply carry this baby on the arm. As for the studs how can you miss them, they add that rocker chic vibe to it piece, yet its overall presentation is simply luxurious!

Forrest green has never looked better! This stylish flap bag is the choice for the ladies who prefer a decent sized bag with characterized shoulder straps. A single matching link strap carries the weight of this purse and compliments this classy style perfectly.

Although pretty, these bags do cost a pretty penny as well! Each style runs at $2,800 to $3K+ ! Shop Nancy Gonzalez exotic goods and accessories via: Saks Fifth Avenue

I always hear my Mom and other family members of mine talking about finding that perfect black tote. My Aunts and my Mom are always on the go, therefore they all carry totes. I’m not really a fan of totes, but I do like the MICHAEL Michael Kors “Chrissi Large North/South Tote.”

I’m not sure if I would actually carry this tote around, but it is a perfect tote for someone that is constantly busy. Being that it’s black leather, it would be a great everyday. The black leather can handle everyday usage without it being too noticeable. I’ve noticed on my Mom’s black handbags that it takes quite a while to see the wear and tear on them because the darkness of the leather prevents it from being obvious.

This is one of those bags that can be used everyday, with literally any outfit. You can be dressed up, or completely dressed down. To me, it’s a casual bag but yet since it’s black you can also used it when you are looking your best.

My favorite feature of this bag, are the compartments on the exterior. There are four different pockets you can store your belongings in right on the outside of the bag. Another “pro” about this bag, is that it has a zip top closure. Most totes are usually open on the top leaving your belongings, so to see one that can be closed is a plus.

The MICHAEL Michael Kors “Chrissi Large North/South Tote” can be purchased at Zappos for $382, which is a great deal for a purse that you can use all year long. It’s always great to add a bag to your collection that will get constant use!

The Louis Vuitton Multicolor collection is my all time favorite handbag line in the world. It beat any other handbag line I have seen from any other designer. All the colors featured on the bags make them look simply amazing.

My all time favorite Multicolor handbag by Louis Vuitton is the “Multicolor Speedy 30.” I’m lucky enough to own this bag, and I love it to pieces. Everything about the bag is stunning, and I never thought another bag could top it. When I spotted the new “Judy” bags that were added to the “Multicolor” line, I was in awe! They were so pretty, that I believe they come in a close second right behind the “Speedy.”

The “Judy” handbag line comes in three different sizes: PM, MM, and GM. Surprisingly, I love the PM size. I’m usually not a fan of little bags, but I think it’s absolutely adorable. it’s so small and cute, that it would be great as an evening bag.

What I like the most about the “Judy” bags is that they can be carried one of two ways. You can hand carry the bag, or use the shoulder strap. Either the way you use the bag it will look stunning.

All my “Multicolor” bags and accessories are in white. I personally love this bag in black. With the gold hardware on the bag, it makes a perfect evening bag but it’s also small enough to be used as a day bag.

With this bag being so gorgeous, I could totally see myself using it just as much as my “Speedy”, but the prices for the “Multicolor” collection are crazy.

The Louis Vuitton “Judy” handbags can be purchased at Louis Vuitton. The bags range from $1,400 – $2,180. I’m not sure I would spend that much for another “Multicolor” handbag, but they sure are nice to look at.

For the occasion, Janet is accessorized with the Zagliani Metallic Python Envelope Bag.

“Zagliani was founded 70 years ago as a company that specialized in exotic skins bags. We are not following a fashion moment. We do not make as much as the market demands because we are concerned about the use of too many skins, and will only work in an ethical and environmentally responsible way.” – Zagliani designer Mauro Orietti-Carella
