I’m a sucker for evening bags especially clutches. I don’t think anyone designs them better than Swarovski, Judith Leiber, and Alexander McQueen. Swarovski and Judith Leiber are obviously favorites because of their beautiful shining crystals. Evening bags always look prettier when some bling is added to them. However, Alexander McQueen takes away most of the bling, for the most part, and has a clutch just as beautiful called the skull clutch.

Sass & Bide was founded in 1999 by Heidi Middleton and Sarah-Jane Clarke. The label was originally intended to be a sexy skinny jeans line, but it expanded into a full clothing line after only two years. Somewhere along the way though, handbags were added to the collection. A good idea? I certainly think so! Just check out this beautiful piece I have pictured here! Introducing the Sass & Bide Missing in Action Bag!

I remember about four or five years ago my Mom mentioned the name Michael Kors to me. She was craving to have one of his logo print shoulder bags for Christmas. No matter what store we went to, she had to pick it up and look at it. At the time, I was head over heels for Louis Vuitton. If a purse wasn’t by Louis Vuitton, I instantly hated it. Kind of immature of me, but I was 21 or so at the time. At that age, I thought the more expensive the purse the better! Thankfully, I’ve drastically changed.

I use to have a severe obsession with Louis Vuitton. I literally saved every penny I earned to buy handbags and accessories by the coveted brand. I didn’t care if it made me broke, I had to have Louis Vuitton goodies in my possession and the more the merrier! Don’t even get me started on the Multicolor collection. I splurged so much on this collection it’s ridiculous. Ever since I watched “Newlyweds” with Jessica Simpson and she rocked the collection, I had to have it. I didn’t stop at one purse though. I had to get 7 pieces from the collection. Talk about putting me in the poor house! I look back at it now, and shake my head! I will probably will end up selling it all eventually to help fund my move to Los Angeles. Someone slap me now!

As I get older, the more and more I love the whole classy, sexy and sophisticated style. I don’t know if that’s a sign of me getting old, maturity or actually having better fashion sense! I’m absolutely in love with pencil skirts, pretty tops and gorgeous high heels. However, nothing completes a stunning look than an equally beautiful handbag. Accessories always finish an outfit, believe it!

The Botkier “Carlyle” Satchel made my mouth drop when I saw it. Although, the name of the bag instantly made a Twilight vampire enter my mind, odd I know. Anyway, I thought it was gorgeous but also very business like. I could totally envision seeing a woman coming out of a building in New York carrying this bag. It just screams fabulous and for that I love it.

Whenever I write blog posts for Bag Bliss or The Fashion Row, I immediately go to Shop Bop. Shop Bop always has a great variety of clothing, accessories, shoes and handbags. What I love most about the site, is that it’s updated constantly. Every week when I take a look at Shop Bop, to see what I want to write about, there is always something new for me to look at. As a writer, that’s a relief because the last thing I want to be doing is scrambling around sites trying to find something to write about. When I can find something stylish that I would consider buying, that makes my job a whole lot easier.

Probably about ten years ago, I purchased a purse on eBay that literally looked like a bustier. It was white with pink lace lining and it was actually really cute. No matter where I went, someone always made a comment about it. Why? Because it was really unique and different looking. I mean let’s be honest, it’s not everyday you see someone carrying around a handbag that looks like a bustier with tiny boobs.

The large and practical Roady by Yves Saint Laurent has received a noteworthy makeover this season. The French house has skipped the holiday festive and introduced shades of scarlet, whites, and classic black into an image of cheerful poppy floral prints.

This season, floral appliqué seemed to be pretty popular amongst many fashion designers but I tend to prefer prints to textile appliqué. The oversized poppy presentation highlights the sketch and prevents the look of your grandmothers’ floral curtains. I’m no botanist, and I was first introduced to the Poppy flower via Coach’s poppy collection several years back. Although I always admired the collection, I never acquired one of their pieces, who knows, this may be my chance to finally obtain a poppy-print handbag for once.
