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.

There’s something about summer that says “made from natural materials”. Whether it be a straw beach tote or a linen tunic or even a wooden bangle bracelet, naturals materials can be found just about anywhere once the summer season hits. They can offer us a wide variety of colors and interesting textures. I think the trick to wearing accessories composed of natural materials is to steer clear of anything that looks too arts and crafty. Instead, look for simple shapes and muted colors… perfect for a casual, summer look.

So what would I pick if I were choosing an accessory such as the ones I just described? I really like this Mad Imports Opal Appliqué Clutch I have pictured here. It’s a simple, envelope style clutch with a roundish (rather than squarish) shape. It is constructed of hand-woven sections of raffia that have been pieced together in a circular fashion, sort of like pieces of a pie. I love the wooden disc accent that adorns the front of the clutch and the super delicious pink color that they call “punch”. And although this clutch appears small in the picture, it is actually a decent size for an envelope. I could definitely see myself pairing this clutch with a cotton sundress. What does everyone else think?

The Mad Imports Opal Appliqué Clutch is available in three colors: Punch, Multi, or Apple. It measures 11.5″ x 7.5″ and it retails for only $88. Find it Here at Nordstroms!

Here’s some exciting new eye candies to me, these miniature-sized accessories are Limited Edition bowling bags by Pineider. I wasn’t familiar at all with the Italian based brand, but upon discovering the collection and its history, I’d call myself a fan.

Their roots date back to 1774 in Florence, Italy as founder Francesco Pineider opened his shop where he specialized in handmade papers, leather goods, and personalized stationary. Unique leather accessories were a favorite among men and women, as they were known for excellent craftsmanship and rich aged leathers. The brand has a wide array of collections, and these cute bowler bags belong to the 1774 line. They come in a fun size that measure in at 7” x 7” x 4” and in a variety of eye catching colors. Among these pieces you’re sure to find glossy calf leather, mink fur, and of course the odd round design. What’s the story behind these little accessories? The hand making of shoes inspired the creation of these little bags, I imagine small scraps of leathers collaborating to form these lovely goods.

They’re pleasant to look at but I’m not sure if I’d give this style a chance, their petite frame seem is not my kind of bag, and for the $1,215 asking price isn’t too appealing. If you’re truly eyeing these out, you can find them Here at FORZIERI . Act quick as they are limited!

Metallics and Shiny accessories seem to be everywhere these days. I literally can’t walk into a store without seeing metallic clothes (especially leggings), purses, wallets, and etc. I never liked the whole metallic “trend”, but I must say it’s really not that bad. If you know how to accessorize right and style yourself up so that you don’t look like one big Christmas ornament, you could pass as stylish and trendy.

I’m not a fan of Crossbody Bags at all, but when I can across the “Whiting & Davis Mesh Mini Crossbody Bag“, I was intrigued. It wasn’t hideous and the metallic colors really made the bag standout. You always see these ugly Crossbody Bags that look so bland and dull, and after seeing one in a variety of metallic colors it did look quite fashionable.

The bag comes in four different colors: black; bronze; gold; and silver. My favorite out of the four colors is gold. To me, the gold really stands out the most out of all the colors. If you do not want your purse to stick out like a sore thumb, then I would choose one of the other colors especially black. The metallic colors of this Crossbody Bag can be used in two different ways. The bag could style up a dull outfit, or make a metallic outfit look even more amazing.

Crossbody Bags aren’t meant to carry much of anything, but your essentials. The most you can fit into one is probably a compact, money, phone, and some other teeny tiny accessories.

The Whiting & Davis Mesh Mini Crossbody Bag, is a Nordstrom exclusive. In other words, no matter how hard you try you won’t be able to find this bag anywhere!

If you want one of these stylish beauties, you can purchase it at Nordstrom for $85. If you were look for a “shiny” bag, then this would be the perfect one to get. It’s priced great, and actually looks cute! This would be a great Crossbody Bag to add to any collection, especially if you are like myself and don’t even own one.

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!

Founded in 1989 by Mark Talucci and Todd Elliott, Elliott Lucca is one company I have never paid a whole lot of attention to when it came to handbags. Their older collections consisted of the basket-weave leather handbags, which I had always believed to be way too Bottega Veneta inspired. However, after seeing some of the fresh new designs out there by Elliott Lucca, I can’t help but be intrigued. The bags are soft and feminine, perfect for everyday use.

At the moment, the bag that seems to be catching my eye the most is the Elliott Lucca Padova Demi. As some of you readers may already know, I prefer a smaller bag for everyday use. Totes are great for school and work, but nothing beats a comfortable bag that tucks neatly under your arm while shopping or running errands. What I like most about this particular style is the classic hobo shape. I also love the braided leather shoulder strap and trim. It seems to add just the right amount of texture and interest. And what about the fact that this bag is currently available for less than $150? Wow! That’s one sweet deal for a new summer bag!

The Elliott Lucca Padova Demi is available in a wide range of colors including: Poppy (shown), Boysenberry(shown), Black(shown), Bisque, and Amber. The bag measures 13″ x 8″ x 4″ and it is currently on sale for $126. You can pick one (or two!) up at Elliott Lucca Official Store.
