Who doesn’t admire the majestic gaze of Swarovski Elements? Swarovski’s popular name has been situated on jewelry, gadget wear, home décor, and now accessories. Sure Swarovski accessories aren’t what you would call a brand new aspect to the brand, but their ready-to-wear pieces are rare to see on a daily basis. Swarovski addresses their handbags for nightwear and one of their latest in the collection is the dazzling Evening Ivy Purse, a must have for the true Swarovski-addict.

Call it Azure or call it Cobalt it’s everywhere at the moment! Everywhere I look I see this gorgeous color of blue and I can’t keep my eyes off of it. I don’t even normally wear blue but I feel like the fashion industry is shoving it down my throat. Every designer is in on this blue trend and they have a reason to be, it’s beautiful!

The “Emile” by Alexander Wang looks absolutely stunning in Azure. As always, I can do without the shoulder strap but as a satchel it’s one fine looking bag. What I love most about the “Emile” is its odd looking shape. I could be wrong, but I don’t ever recall seeing a bag shaped like this and the bright color helps it pop out more.

I don’t deny that I love classic handbags. I love the sleek lines, tailoring and the never-go-out-of-style security that when I buy a quality bag, I’m going to carry it for years. So, it was incredibly difficult to narrow down my choices for classic bags for giving. These are some of my favorites and they show that classic isn’t boring!

Gucci Diana Bag
A beautiful classic bag featuring Gucci’s timeless bamboo handles features this striking cobalt blue. I’m completely obsessed with this color and don’t think I will stop for a long time to come. Another season-less color that goes with more than you think! For the special girl who loves classic style but with a fashion forward sensibility, this is the perfect bag! $2,150 at Saks Fifth Avenue

I’ve known about Diane von Furstenberg for quite some time now. I didn’t fall in love with her designs until I discovered her luggage collection. I’ll be honest I found her luggage sets at discount stores but I was in awe of how beautiful they were! I literally bought a $350+ bag for $70! Not to shabby, especially for the quality. I still have the carry on bag today and it still looks brand new!

Another love of mine is Ms. Furstenberg’s handbags and clothes. Anything designed by this amazing fashion house always screams elegance, sophistication and beauty. When I came across the “Sporty Drew” Satchel my mouth dropped. It was another stunning design by Diane von Furstenberg and I love it. Ironically, I read this morning that “Tango Tangerine” was going to be the “it” color next year. Then I stumbled upon the “Sporty Drew” which is available in a color that is almost identical to the new “it” color. Coincidence? I think not!

A couple years ago, the color “cobalt” was everywhere. Every designer got in on the trend especially when it came to handbags. I don’t own anything cobalt, as it doesn’t match my wardrobe at all, but I will admit it’s a gorgeous color.

It seems that cobalt is back when a vengeance. Just today, I spotted a bunch of Michael Kors clothes in cobalt and now I see Clare Vivier has designed a simple but stunning “Fold Over” clutch in the popular color. I always agree with the saying, “Less is more” and that’s exactly what Clare Vivier did with the “Fold Over” Clutch.

I think it’s always fun to have that one unique looking bag in your handbag collection. That bag that you don’t take out too often, perhaps just for special occasions, but it’s definitely one of those accessories that catches people’s eyes.

For me, whenever I take out my Swarovski “Kiosque” evening bag I always get compliments and comments about it. It really is a beautiful bag, more like a piece of art, and coincidentally I won it on Bag Bliss! It’s probably the prettiest handbag in my entire collection and I’m thankful Ms. Jennifer Moreno, our Bag Bliss founder, picked me as the winner!

Michael Kors is pretty much my favorite designer. I love almost everything he comes out with and he is the king of the black leather and gold hardware combination, which we all know is my favorite.

When I was wandering around the mall today, I came across this Michael Kors Tote and I instantly fell in love with it. It reminded me of the Louis Vuitton Neverfull bags, just priced a lot more affordably and came in a variety of colors.
