The Turquoise Coach Patent Francine Bag
When I saw this picture of Eva Longoria Parker, the first thing I noticed was her bag. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the color of this bag! Turquoise is probably my favorite color of the summer. This shade of turquoise is just stunning. It is beautiful and bold. Everybody can use a bright and colorful bag in their closet for the summer. It is very rare and hard to find a bag of this color….trust me, I’ve looked. The turquoise and gold hues look perfect against Eva’s peach dress. While the color of this bag is so bold and distinct, it can still go well with many different colors and outfits, especially many of the colors and patterns out this summer.

This bag is the Coach Patent Francine Bag. It is made of turquoise patent leather and features goldtone hardware and rings. There is a front pocket right in the center, giving the bag more depth and giving you room to fit your ipod and cell phone. The shape of this bag is sophisticated but given a funky look with this bright color and bulky pockets. This bag also comes in brown and white and can be found at Coach.com for $798.

If you are still looking for your perfect, bright-colored summer bag, this is certainly one to look into.

Hollywood’s New Bag Queen: Eva Longoria Parker
Hollywood has many bag queens…Victoria Beckham, Jessica Simpson, Kate Moss. Now joining the ranks of these elite Hollywood bag queens is Eva Longoria Parker. She has taken her stylish fashion sense from Wisteria Lane off the screen. Whether she is walking her dog, going to a red carpet even, or in France with Tony, she is always seen carrying one of the season’s hottest bags. Her bags are always the perfect touch to her stylish clothes. They match her shoes and compliment her outfits so well.

In an interview with Instyle.com, she revealed the contents of her 133-square foot closet and it included many, many, many bags including a coveted hot pink crocodile Hermes Birkin bag. Of the Birkin bag, her stylist advised her to “wear it with everything� because it was going to be handed down in her will. She’ll have plenty more to hand down in her will. Every day she is seen with a different bag by a different designer…Gucci, Hermes, Dior, you name it, she’s got it. Looks like a new bag queen is in town!

Eva Longoria loves her Be&D Kan Ruffle Tote
We all have that designer handbag that we love to death, that one you don’t want to put away to give others a chance. Style, size, functionality, shoulder strap length, comfort, interior pockets, studded feet, weight, etc. Those are all key factors that we look for in the ideal everyday, multiple occasion handbag.

Eva Longoria’s favorite everyday purse of the week is the Be&D Kan Ruffle Tote. Spacious enough for travel, stylish enough for an evening out, and everything else this bag is just plain great for everyday use.

Super eBay Alert A super eBay Alert indeed! I spotted the Coach Chelsea Pony Satchel Bag on sale new-with-tags for a buy-it-now price of only $399.99! This seller seems reputable (2280 with 98%). Interesting - $400 off retail for a new collection. With the extra cash take your friends out to dinner and show off your new purchase. go!

Celebrities and Their Handbags
Celebrity | Eva Longoria | Coach Chelsea Pony Satchel Bag
Celebrity nanny Eva Longoria recently photographed at Cafe Med while sporting the new Coach Chelsea Pony Satchel purse. Okay she isn’t really a “celebrity nanny”, well from what I know she hasn’t had a career change, just yet. I have never been a fan of Desperate House Wives - or any television show in general except for the Colbert Report < hehe >. I’m also not a big fan of Eva Longoria’s style. She has never struck me as the fashionable type, or at least someone’s style that I would admire. Sorry Eva fans. Although we do have one thing in common - we have the same car preference. Fascinating.
