This adorable find is called the Momo (Did you notice all his bags are labeled with a male name?)

There is nothing simplistic about Jerome Dreyfuss‘s new Momo, so if you’re looking for something simple, you’re looking in the wrong direction.

So why have I fallen so hard for this bag? Because the mix of fabrics is purely genius! It’s a fun crossbody that can be worn anywhere. I can honestly say there is nothing quite like it in my bag-drobe.. but I wish there was!

The Tassel Bobble by Balenciaga! They call it a keychain, but as you can see in the picture it looks pretty darn fabulous attached to one of your favorite Balenciaga bags. This chunky piece is designed with dozens of folded over leather strands, and if that wasn’t enough, the design also features a couple dangling little strands of Balenciaga’s signature long tassels. And to top it off, Balenciaga’s signature hardware including a non-functional zipper. The zipper is for looks only, but wouldn’t it be much more fabulous if it was some sort of mini pouch. There would be some function there rather than just looks. Still cute though.

I’ve never heard of Collina Strada before. But when I saw these handbags pop up on StefaniBags, I was intrigued. So I decided to do a little homework about the brand and here’s what I found!

Collina Strada was launched in Fall 2008 by Los Angeles fashion designer, Hillary Taymour. When it comes to handbags, uniqueness can sometimes be hard to find. With her passion for things that are a bit outside-the-box, Hillary has managed to fill that void. Collina Strada is described as a true combination of vintage and modern style. The styles are quirky and fun, yet seasonless enough that you can easily carry them year-round. Below you will find a couple of styles that I find particularly interesting!

Well, it’s officially April and you know how the saying goes, “April showers bring May flowers”. Soon it might be raining constantly, so it’s always grand to be prepared for it in the most fashionable way possible.

People always buy stylish rain coats and boots for the wet weather but why not a handbag too? Marc Jacobs has designed the most perfect tote for when the weather is less desirable. The “Yo Yo Dot” Rain Tote with Umbrella is the most cleverest bag I’ve seen in quite sometime.

The fact that it’s made from PVC is always a plus for wet weather. We all know that rain tends to leave stains on leather. I know whenever it’s raining, I tend to use my handbags that are PVC or patent. The feature I love the most about this tote is the fact that it includes an umbrella! Who would of ever have thought to attach an umbrella to a bag? The umbrella literally slips in right in the front of the bag making it easy for you to grab it in case you feel some sprinkles coming from the sky. Then as soon as it’s done raining you simply close it up and slip it right back.

I love handbags especially when I can find ones that match black and white wardrobe. Very rare to find a handbag that incorporates both colors so when I find some that do I squeal in excitement. Now when the handbag is black and white with a lot of room then I might scream even louder, since I tend to carry a lot of junk in my bag.

The Rebecca Minkoff Canvas Morning After Bag in Trompe l’oeil is the perfect bag for me. First and foremost, I’m obsessed with art and it kind of looks like a piece of art. The bag literally looks like someone painted or stitched it together to make it look like one of Rebecca Minkoff’s more expensive Morning After Bags. A Morning After Bag typically has a zipper compartment featured in front of the bag and more golden hardware on it.
