Man, I feel like every week I’m bringing you another piece from Rebecca Minkoff! This has practically turned into “Marissa’s weekly Rebecca Minkoff pick”. Each week I write about another fabulous piece Mrs. Minkoff has designed and this week is no different. Today I bring you, the “Desire” Satchel with Woven Trim. It’s classy, gorgeous and sophisticated. I love the Balenciaga “City” bags but I’ve never been able to purchase one. The “Desire” kind of reminds me of the “City” bag, but with more of fabulous vibe to it. Plus, the price makes me like it a whole lot better!

Lately, I’ve been seeing a lot of fringe in the fashion world, especially on handbags. The fringe trend is kind of always there, it’s just more prominent at certain times. It’s kind of like the neon trend, always there but sometimes it’s in our face a little too much. I’ve never been a big fan of fringe, so I’ve always stayed away from it. Whenever I see it on shirts, I shake my head. However, I’ve been having a change of heart lately because I love the By Malene Birger “Jahyl Great Nappa” Bag. Not too tacky and oh-so-cute!

I think we all know by now that I have an obsession with black leather handbags that feature gold hardware. It’s my all time favorite combination and anytime I see a bag with this fabulous combination I usually drool and want it. To me, the combination looks stunning and really pops at you. I have two handbags like this and I can’t wait to get my hands on more!

I remember when I was in 9th Grade the biggest craze was messenger bags. Literally every girl, out of the 200 of us, had a messenger bag. It was odd to see someone actually hauling around their books in a book bag. The boys used book bags, the girls used messenger bags that’s just the way it was. My aunt had taken me to Macy’s and let me pick one out. I picked out one by Guess? and it was $32. In reality, hardly any of my books fit in it but boy did I feel stylish. I think 2 books fit inside it and I had to carry the rest in my arms.

I’m convinced Rebecca Minkoff is the queen of designing handbags. Everything she designs is beautiful and worth the money. I just discovered her a few years ago and she’s already at the top of my list of favorite designers. Lately, every single bag she releases I instantly fall in love with it. Now, I’m swooning over the “Stunned” Jess Bag! It’s small, keeps me organized and perfect for those days when I’m in a rush and don’t want to carry much.

Designer grocery bags seem to be a trend these days. It’s so funny, that a bag I’ve seen my whole life is now being made in leather and made to look fashionable. Every time I go the grocery store I always get the items I’ve purchased put in a plastic bag. The very plastic bags I use to put more garbage in when I get home and then off to the garbage can they go.

I’ve seen quite a few designer grocery bags lately but my favorite has to be the Maison Martin Margiela “Studded” Grocery Bag. I’ll be honest, the studs are what sold me! The studs kind of kill that grocery bag look and give it more of an stylish edge. I could see myself carrying this bag anywhere not just to the grocery store.

Whenever I’m on the internet searching for fashionable accessories, I always go to Zappos. Zappos has a great selection of designers and the best part about them is that they don’t charge you tax or shipping! No tax or shipping in this economy helps a lot! Whenever I’m looking for anything fashion related, I always check to see if Zappos has it first. Tax is never so bad but the shipping some websites charge is ridiculous especially when you’re buying something so small.
