Back in September, Jennifer had posted in TBF a comment about a Judith Leiber Snowy Owl Pillbox. That tiny little guy sure was cute! And it seemed as though several of my fellow TBFers agreed. Unfortunately, the adorable little pillbox was just that… a pillbox. Something to display on a shelf or inside a curio, not something that had any practical purpose.

Well it appears that Judith Leiber has decided to take this cute little owl and made him a wee bit more functional. Introducing the Judith Leiber Crystal-Embellished Owl Clutch! This gorgeous piece is covered with multicolored Swarovski crystals. I love the luminescent glow that these crystals have. It’s as if they change color right before your eyes as the light hits them from different angles. Plus the delicate glass eyes really seem to bring the owl to life. And I also love how this clutch comes with it’s own little pocket mirror! Only for super special occasions, I think this clutch would really glam-up a simple black dress. And when you’re not using it, simply tuck in the chain strap (as shown in the picture above) and display it alongside all your other pretties! Wow, what a beautiful addition this would make to a Judith Leiber collection!

The Judith Leiber Crystal-Embellished Owl Clutch measures 4 inches wide (all the way around) and 6 inches tall. It is fully lined and it opens at the top via a push-lock closure. Find it Here @ NET-A-PORTER!

New to the scene over at Zappos, Dooney & Bourke handbags! One little fabulous essential that caught my eye is the Nylon Triple Zip Flat Cosmetic Pouch from the new Summer 2009 Sport Duck Collection, the Fabric Line.

Details: This spacious nylon pouch will keep all your little personals neatly organized. Features 3 separate compartments: one main one on the top which is zipper protected then two front exterior zip pockets for the little stuff. The interior is lined with hot pink material. Now for the most important point, dimensions: 7 1/4″ wide x 1/2″ deep x 5″ high.

The price.. ready to be blown away. A thrifty thrill, the Sport Duck Purse retails for only $30!

The pouch above is the little accessory to the new Sport Duck collection, bags freckled with the silhouette of a sleepy mallard duck. To be honest I don’t think this style is that bad on the Large Overnight Duffle style. It has a sort of vintage vibe to it, which I draws me in. And the price is ridiculously reasonable – only $148!

Side Note: It is very rare for me to actually come out posting about a D&B style that I like. When I think of the brand the first image that comes to mind is cartoon sketched, color crayoned bags from the Grafic Line, which is obviously targeted towards the preteen market. I’m in my early (come tomorrow, mid) 20’s, with a taste for designer items. So you wont see me prancing in my Prada Pumps down the street in a Dior Dress with a Dooney Bumble Bee or Candy Wrappers bag on arm. It would never happen.

However of course there are other styles, such as the more classic Leather Line, for those who simply don’t like cartoon images. Like for example the Dooney & Bourke Calf Large Zipper Pocket Sac.. simple, functional as a perfect day bag, comes in some stylish colors and most importantly there is no crayoned in graphic images. By the way, it’s currently on sale for only $185!

I currently own a Louis Vuitton Wallet, but I can very much appreciate a beautiful wallet. Lately, I’ve been looking at wallets in hopes to find another one just as beautiful as my Louis Vuitton one to purchase. Nothing is as classic as a Louis Vuitton wallet, but I do agree that not only does a fashionista need “bag” variety they also need “wallet” variety.

It takes a lot for me to like wallet. Something either needs to be unique about the wallet, or it just needs to be plain beautiful. When I came across the Dolce & Gabbana “Lock” Wallet, as I like to call it, I was quite impressed. It was fairly simple, but yet the little lock in front of the wallet made it look that much more cuter and stylish.

What is cool about a wallet like this, is that you really could wear it two different ways. I would personally use this as a wallet to throw in my purse, but some people like to use stylish wallets as if they were a clutch. Think about it, if you have nothing to bring with you other than money or some credit cards then carrying a wallet like a clutch wouldn’t seem like a bad idea. I could never go anywhere without a cell phone, but if you can live without a cell phone, and lip gloss then carrying around a stunning wallet would probably be ideal for you.

The padlock really makes this wallet look unique to me, and that’s not even the coolest part. The top zip closure has an attached leather strap and keyring, so that you can actually “lock” the wallet up. Not very ideal, but definitely a cute little feature to the wallet.

The Dolce & Gabbana “Lock” Wallet can be purchased at Zappos for $467.20, which I consider to be a great price for a high end designer wallet. Get yours before they are all gone!

I have never been a fan of Ed Hardy’s handbags, but I think I may have actually found one that I would purchase. The Ed Hardy Genesis Rebel Luella Tote can pass as “cute” and would be a great school bag. If you aren’t in school, then this bag would be perfect for those days you have a lot of things to carry. If you are in school, this bag would be amazing to carry your lap top, books, notebooks, and supplies in. I always love when I can carry all my school supplies in one bag, instead of lugging around two or three bags with me.

The Ed Hardy Genesis comes in two colors: Cream and Purple. To be honest, I love both of the colors! Cream is very light, and the Purple is very colorful! If I were to purchase this bag, I would probably buy it in purple. When I think of Ed Hardy, I think of something with lots of color, and pizazz not something with hardly any color like the “Cream” version of the bag.

The only thing I hate about this bag is the price! The price is way too high for bag that doesn’t have much to it. For $364, I rather put my money towards a handbag I really want like a Louis Vuitton.

I’m not sure if I would call this tote a day or night bag. I personally would only use this bag when I have to carry a lot of things around. For me, this would act as like a bag to carry all my heavy things in but I would still carry a purse with me. In a purse I would carry all my personal essentials, and I would put all my important work stuff in a tote much like this one.

All in all, it’s definitely a cute and stylish tote to use for just about anything.

Everytime I see a beautiful clutch, I’m always drooling. Besides satchels, clutches are my second favorite style of bag. I love how they are so easy to carry around, but a majority of the time they are also quite stunning.

One of the clutches I love at the moment is the Gustto Cipriani Tavolo in blue. The clutch is not only beautiful but the zip pockets really make this clutch look stunning.

What I love most about this clutch, is that I could really see myself carrying it year round and during anytime of the day. It’s not too dressy, and not too casual that it gives me the ability to carry it whenever, and wherever and still look stylish.

I do think if this clutch were available in black, I would buy it in a heart beat. Black mixed with the gold hardware would look stunning, in my opinion. Also, a black clutch could go with anything I wear, whereas with a blue clutch I pretty much selected with what I can wear.

The best part about this clutch is the size of it. It’s the absolute perfect size to be able to carry all of your essentials like a cell phone, makeup, keys, sunglasses, etc., and still have room. It’s not very often you can find such a spacious but yet gorgeous clutch.

The Gustto Cipriani Tavolo Clutch can be purchased at Zappos for $314. Not a bad price for a clutch this beautiful.

I’ve been obsessed with evening bags lately, and when I see one in “pink” my heart usually skips a beat. When I came across the Bourne Daisy Clutch, I was amazed of how reasonable the price was, and how beautiful it was.

The clutch comes in three different colors: black; nude; and taupe. For some reason, they call the “pink” version of the bag “nude.” I consider “nude” more of a beige or tan color, and this clutch is clearly pink.

It is probably more ideal to get this clutch in black, mostly because of the color. Black goes with everything, and pink and taupe don’t. I loved this bag in “pink” because the jewels featured on the front of the bag really stand out more so in pink than the other two colors. The jewels seem to be hidden with the darkness of the black and taupe colors.

I also love how this clutch comes with a chain. You can carry it as a clutch, or take out the chain and carry it as if it were a little shoulder bag. Either way you choose to use the bag, it would look stunning.

Obviously, this clutch would be perfect for some type of evening event. The jewels make this clutch look pretty expensive and not to mention fancy. I would never even think of wearing this clutch to the grocery store or mall, but to a fancy restaurant I would carry it in a heartbeat.

The Bourne Daisy Clutch can be purchased at Nordstrom for $135. I consider the price of this clutch to be a steal! Evening bags aren’t always on the “affordable” side, especially if they are gorgeous. With a clutch that is so cute and affordable who can go wrong? If you have an evening event to go to in the coming months, this clutch would be the perfect bag for you to take with you!

Gorgeous and Exclusively at Saks Fifth Avenue, the Dolce & Gabbana Miss Marylou Satchel is sure to be a bag that can not be missed. Shaped like a Louis Vuitton Speedy and being accented with quilted leather, this handbag is a pure beauty.

It does look exactly like the size of a Louis Vuitton Speedy 25, but of course Dolce & Gabbana had to put their own flare on their take of the iconic handbag. I love everything about this bad from the double zipper closure to the nylon animal print lining in the interior of the handbag.

There is one feature of the handbag that I do not understand, and that is the golden hardware on the exterior of the bag. It makes it look like some sort of clasp could of been put on and taken off from it, but the handbag comes with no straps or anything. It makes it look like a ring on the front of the bag, that is used for nothing.

I would love to add this handbag to my collection, but I fear that I wouldn’t carry it much. The handbag is stunning, but with the style and quilted leather, it makes the handbag look very much like a Fall/Winter handbag. If you live in a state that has cold weather for a majority of the year, the quilted bag would probably go great with your “cold weather” attire.

You can pre-order the Dolce & Gabbana Miss Marylou Satchel at Saks Fifth Avenue for $1,295, which I think is a great price for this gorgeous handbag.

I’ve never been that big of a fan of Chloé handbags, but I must say I am quite impressed with one of Chloé’s upcoming handbags. The handbag is called the Chloé Paraty Large Tote and it is gorgeous. Saks Fifth Avenue is currently taking pre-orders for both the medium and large versions of the handbag. I’m personally in love with the large tote, because it is much more wider and roomier than the “medium” version.

I would absolutely love this handbag in black. Saks Fifth Avenue currently only has the large tote available in brown to be pre-ordered. The medium size does come in black though, so I’m sure that the large tote is made in black also.

What really caught my eye about this bag was the rope signature detail featured on the front of the bag. For some reason, the rope detail with the gold hardware really sticks out on the bag. I believe if those two features were missing from this bag, this would look like any ordinary tote.

To me this handbag is very versatile, which is always a “pro.” This is a handbag I would wear day or night and during any season. I do live in the heat, therefore fashion trends aren’t really followed when you are in 100 degree year round. This handbag would look perfect with: a pair of jeans, a simple stylish shirt, and some boots. I do consider it a “simple” handbag, so it deserves to be worn with a classic outfit.

The Chloé Paraty Large Tote can be pre-ordered at Saks Fifth Avenue for $1,995. I believe this price is a little too high for this handbag, but I won’t deny that this handbag is stunning.
