Winner of the gorgeous python Pauric Sweeney handbag giveaway!!
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.
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!

These days, everyone is trying to save money. And people who love Louis Vuitton handbags are certainly no exception. One great way to save money is to buy pre-owned (AKA “pre-loved”) handbags on eBay, Bonazle, eCrater, or what have you. And with so many people out there trying to unload their luxury items for some quick cash, there are many great deals to be had. But is that Louis Vuitton handbag authentic? For the unwary shopper, these internet market places can be quite dangerous. So how can you avoid buying a fake? There are some things you can do to help lower your chances of getting stuck with a knock-off. Below you will find some tips on buying pre-owned Louis Vuitton handbags online.

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!
The Artisan Corner is a new unique event that brings the craftsmanship of Gucci’s Florentine leather goods factory directly to its clientele. And this month the House’s most skilled artisans will travel to a select few Gucci stores here within the US, where they will be stationed at custom-built workshops.
The Artisan Corner will include work tables, a sewing machines, a leather stand, and various tools that are used to make some of Gucci’s most memorable leather goods. The artisans be working on various classics like the Bamboo, New Jackie, New Pelham, G Wave and as well as small leather goods. Gucci announced, “Customers will be able to see craftsman as they hand-stitch handles, assemble bamboo tassels, prepare leather strips for woven stitching and hand emboss customer’s initials, offering a unique viewing of Gucci’s time honored traditions.”
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!
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.
