Michael Kors ‘Charlton’ Crossbody Bag

MICHAEL Michael Kors 'Charlton' Crossbody bag
We are most definitely craving these little goodies presented by Michael Kors for his MICHAEL line. They’re Crossbody bags, and they’re absolutely adorable. First key detail that pops out right at you are the hefty, oversized gold push lock buckles that take up a large proportion of the bag. If you’re mad for giant sized hardware as I am, then you are really loving the front side of the ‘Charlton’ Crossbody bag. Surrounding the giant plate of gold is rich and smooth leather, a perfect choice for such an eye catching piece.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Miss Marc Spot Pirate Crossbody Bag

Marc by Marc Jacobs Miss Marc Spot Pirate Crossbody Bag
Does anyone remember Spot the Dog? For some strange reason, that little cartoon puppy was what popped into my mind when I saw the Marc by Marc Jacobs Miss Marc Spot Crossbody Bag. Maybe because the word “spot” is in the name? I know, I’m weird. But, hey, at least this gives me a chance to talk about this cute little bag. I probably wouldn’t have given it a second thought if it wasn’t for the name. And I can definitely see now why this bag was given its name. It really is a spot!

Temperley London Gypsy Hobo

Temperley London Gypsy Hobo
Alice Temperley specialized in fabric technology and print while she attended Central Saint Martins and the Royal College of Art. This fundamental focus, is evident in her handbags and designs. She has a very loyal fan base including Scarlett Johansson and Gwyneth Paltrow.

The detail and patterning of this hobo caught my attention right away. I love the simple twisting of the handle. The tiny studs provide edge, but are not so overwhelming that it’s going to be out of style the minute after you purchase! Interesting arched zippered pockets on both front and back sides make a statement that provide a lot of style and function simultaneously. And I simply adore the tiny studding detail on the zipper pulls! It’s simply not overdone but just done right!

Diane Von Furstenberg Stephanie Rasta Bag

Diane Von Furstenberg Stephanie Rasta Bag
I have to admit, I’ve been drawn to Diane Von Furstenberg‘s style for awhile now. She definitely understands how to dress a woman. She provides flattering, feminine dresses that don’t shirk from projecting a strong image. Her bags have recently begun to reflect this approach to design.

While we’ve seen the Stephanie before, we haven’t seen it like this! The Rasta style Stephanie pays homage to Diane’s expertise with print. White I adore the texture of the oversized, chain link metallic bag, what I really love is the striking use of color in this version! Red, orange, gold, green blue and metallics simply burst forth with their excitement. So versatile and FUN!. And did I say FUN? Bags are so serious sometimes, it’s great to see the whimsy without being kitchsy!

Rebecca Minkoff Cherish Studded Canvas Tote

Rebecca Minkoff Cherish Studded Canvas Tote
It’s no secret that Rebecca Minkoff is one of my favorite handbag designers. There are several Rebecca Minkoff styles that have been holding special places in my heart for some time now. And I always enjoy checking out all the new designs season after season. But all of this seemed to fly out the window when I stumbled across the new Rebecca Minkoff Cherish Studded Canvas Tote. I mean, it’s not like this bag is completely horrid or anything. I am just a little bit disappointed, that’s all.
