What do you think about a bag within a bag? Might sound like nonsense to some, or like the latest and trendiest style to hit the purse world to others. Although Dolce & Gabbana isn’t the first house to present the bag-in-bag style, do meet their version, the ‘Miss Angie’ Shopper, new to their 2010 Cruise Collection.

I can see how you can sway either way of giving this a thumbs up or thumbs down. You might see this as one elegant and feminine shopper, or simply an expensive interpretation of a drawstring laundry bag within a flowery tote bag. From a distance, it might be difficult to distinguish that the material of choice is in fact leather throughout, from the clinched drawstrings to the exterior shopper.

The Derek Lam Nadia Leather Hobo is getting a lot of attention by many style savvy professionals. Rachel Zoe has lauded this bag on her blog and other fabulous bloggers are writing about this sharp and edgy bag. A fact that caught my attention after I started to research it! So, this review is definitely due for our readers! Others are lauding the beautiful, unique, soft and subtle hues of the tie-dye version for $3,950 at Derek Lam or the basic but sleek black version of this bag. However, the dark brown cognac color is the one that really spoke to me as a bag you could carry every day!

At first glance, I’m a tad bit reminded of the bag Anne Hathaway carried in Devil Wear’s Prada, but in reality it is a balanced bag with asymmetrical details. The off-kilter front pocket adds a wonderful graphic architectural element to this sophisticated vertical hobo styling. I adore the movement and softness of the tassle which is absolutely the perfectly length to balance the bag. Some tassles are overpowering and oversized for their bag but this one is just right in my humble opinion!

Wander on over to TBF to check out how you can win the lovely Charlotte Tote by jewelery and handbag designer Amrita Singh.

Don’t worry BagBliss’ers, I have a special giveaway for you guys coming shortly…

Ever since the See by Chloe line was introduced, I have never been much of a fan. To tell you the truth, some of the bags were just plain weird. In fact, I believe I once compared a See by Chloe bag to a toy that is made for horses. So you can imagine my surprise when I stumbled across a bag from See by Chloe that wasn’t… well, weird.

And I think I am prepared to go as far as saying it is a style that I could see myself actually wearing. Introducing the See by Chloe Funny Love Shoulder Bag!

When fellow blogger BRS mentioned the NY Rocker Stam by Marc Jacobs a while back, the majority of the crowd definitely agreed that the infamous Stam looked awesome dressed up in extra sequins and studs. Just when you thought Marc Jacobs couldn’t make the Rocker Stam any cuter, he introduces its miniature version, the New York Rocker Little Stam.

I find this piece absolutely adorable; if the original Stam size is a bit too blingy for your taste, then this size might be the right one for you. The Little Stam carries the same kiss lock closure, wide opening, and chain-linked strap as all its other Stam ancestors do, yet it’s found compact in this miniature model.

When I first saw the Be&D New Garbo Leather Tote, I felt there was a lot to love! Some of the hottest trends are featured in this bag: rocker studs, pale nude color and cross-body functionality!

The super-soft washed leather make this extra-large handbag easy to carry. The leather is buttery and simply molds to your body when the removable, cross-body strap is utilized. If you are familiar with Be&D handbags, you know they have tremendous craftsmanship and some very supple leather. Comfortable, double-strap handles make it convenient to carry and add an extra style element with the whipstitched detailing.

Guess what ladies! Turquoise is BACK and it’s better than ever! And, of course, I am over-the-moon excited about this because turquoise is one of my all-time favorite colors. I especially like it when it is a really bright turquoise, like the color of a tropical lagoon (mmm… I can feel that warm breeze now). It is such a great color when you’re looking for something that will give your outfit a little pop and it is surprisingly versatile. Turquoise looks great with yellow, green, pink, navy… you name it! I also think it looks especially lovely when paired with chocolate brown or black. Oh my mouth is watering just thinking about it!

Anyone have a pool party or any other sun events planned soon? A couple of more days until my Spring Break officially kicks in as I’m anticipating some rest and relaxation under the warm South Padre Island sun. Accessory wise I would say I’m ready, although I’m content with using last seasons beach bag for now, it sure doesn’t hurt to see what’s new in the world of designer cruise and S/S collections.

One adorable piece that caught my eye is the Mini Squishee Star by Eric Javits, a bag that’s as cute as the name it carries.
