Kate Bosworth bundled up in a chunky scarf and oversized beige winter coat, trying to stays warm as she strolls around New York City’s SoHo neighborhood over the weekend. Her whole outfit to me isn’t really anything to praise, but that bag, oh my gosh, her bag is just incredibly fabulous.

That gorgeous piece of arm candy, dangling from Kate’s shoulder, is the Diego by Alexander Wang. Wang is one of fashion newest rising stars. He only recently launched his line in 2004 and is already a household name.

^ love the Diego Bucket! Don’t let the bullet bottom fool you, this bag is not that heavy.

With the start of a new decade is anyone seeking to replace some of their beloved everyday accessories for more current and newer styles? I personally am in search of a new cosmetic bag and I know just were to go if I want the luxurious designer piece, but sometimes cheap thrills find their way into your collection, especially when they retail for no more than $50. If you seek you shall find, and I spotted these cute name brand pieces carrying extra affordable price tags.

I love this. Birthday Girl Jennifer Love Hewitt celebrating her 31st Birthday with friends. Can you guess the theme?

Dressed in a Lady GaGa-inspired look, the birthday bash was complete with her closest friends minus boyfriend Jamie Kennedy, plus her everyday favorite go-to purse, the Louis Vuitton Monogram Speedy. Honestly, I would have went with something a little bit more outrageous (in a good way) to go with her spunky 80′s ish outfit. Possibly a clutch by Alexander McQueen? Bag by Betsey Johnson? Just not the classic Louis Vuitton monogram — Jennifer you’re killing the classic appeal.

Find Louis Vuitton handbags for a steal. Authentic Louis Vuitton Speedy’s can be found on auction powerhouse, eBay (speedy page). Be aware of the fakes though! Get them authenticated over at TheBagForum.com!

Candid moment of Leighton Meester strolling around the winter cold set of Gossip Girl. The bundled up Leighton, spotted wearing some seriously chic thick rimmed glasses is carrying Proenza Schouler’s hit, the PS1 Suede Satchel!

In the picture above of Leighton roaming around set, she is carrying the suede version. Love it, but can’t do suede? I can’t either. Sure the suede gives it a softer appearance than the leather version, but if you live in a damp and rainy climate, suede accessories are not your best friend. Unless you get a serious rain protectant (recommend: Wilson leather products).

My much preferred pick of Proenza Schouler PS1 Satchel – the amazing navy version available in leather over at LuisaviaRoma for $1877.

You can find a selection of PS1 suede bags at net-a-porter.
Or hop on over to LuisaviaRoma and check out the wide selection of gem colored leather versions.

Nicole Kidman spotted out on a relaxing afternoon the other day on her way to a spa in Los Angeles, with the fabulous Faithful tote by McQueen slung over her shoulder.

Ever since the devastating news broke that Alexander (real name, Lee) McQueen commit suicide earlier this month, his bags have been flying off store shelves. Don’t get me wrong, Lee McQueen was such a brilliant designer with a long trail of celebrity and everyday people followers, who when the chance is right, snatch up the latest offered by the designer – handbags, skull scarves, accessories, shoes and apparel. However, after his passing, with the news that the McQueen brand will live on, but with a different designer holding the reigns, (and Gucci playing a big part in that) it’s a no wonder why everybody is flocking to get a piece of the McQueen.

Any McQueen admirer, such as myself is well aware that the McQueen brand will never be the same.

So get an original McQueen while you still can! Nicole Kidman’s amazing Faithful is available: Here at Zappos. According to their ticker, there are only 3 bags available. Then it will be gone, forever.

Treesje handbags have been on my mind a lot lately. I’m talking borderline obsession! But who can blame me? After all, these feelings are perfectly normal.

So when I happen to stumble across a good deal on a Tressje handbag, it’s no wonder that I’m practically screaming it from the rooftops! And that is exactly what’s going on this very moment.

If you are like me, then your New Year’s resolutions are not doing very well at this point. Yep, we’re already over halfway through the month of February and I haven’t so much as looked at that elliptical sitting downstairs. And to think I traded in my “gently-used” (and I mean gently!) treadmill to get that thing. So why am I having such a hard time motivating myself to exercise more, like I had resolved to do at the beginning of the year? Haha, I honestly have no clue!

Woah Prada, check out the rocks on the Spazzolato Tote! I honestly think that even if you’re no fan of glitz and sparkles on a handbag, there’s no way you can deny this attractive piece. Prada totes, without any attachments on them are always classic, functional, and chic.

The House of Prada never fails to throw textiles onto them and in general, you either have a hit or a miss with their experiments. I’m calling this an absolute hit!

It’s reality TV star Tila Tequila, and what the heck is she not wearing? I spy long pearls, sequins, leather gloves, polka dots, tulle, and ruffles. Perhaps wearing that all at once isn’t such a great idea, but I’m on Tila’s side when it comes to her enormous choice of a funky turquoise handbag. Spotting the front nameplate is a dead giveaway that this tote is indeed one of the fun designs by the Marc by Marc Jacobs line. This shiny croc embossed bowler tote is ideal for travel or for school books, since it’s wide base can carry more than your typical day handbag could. I’m not sure if I could work with such a funky silhouette as it appears to be a bit on the uncomfortable side, but the color is most definitely striking. Tila, your look for the night might be a bit too busy, but somehow, you rocked the Lil’ Aidan Satchel just right.
