First up, the Juicy Couture Tasseled Bowler

Just look at that delicious color. It’s available in this gorgeous aqua blue leather and features antiqued gold metal trim and a fun long leather tassel with a logo globe hang from wrapped chains. Other details include the wraparound zip top with studded leather zipper pull, which slides open to reveal the signature Juicy Couture lining and mini storage areas (inside zipped pocket, cell pocket, and open pocket). There’s also one exterior open outside pocket on one end for easy-access. The rolled leather handles feature a 4″ drop. The size of this bag is really amazing, there’s really no limitations as to what you can fit in here. It measures in at 11″ length x 10″ height x 6″ width.

The retail is $350, but only at eluxury it’s available for $210.

There are a couple other versions of this style available that were recently added the markdown section, like the Onassis Clutch, China C Satchel, and Marion D Hobo.

Next on the list is the Tod’s New Restyling D-Bag Media

The Tod’s Restyle D-Bag Media Tote is the newer version of the popular D Media (purse named in honor of Princess Diana of Wales). The D for Diana bag is a great everyday tote.

Tod’s restyled D Grande drawstring tote is currently available in the sale section in 2 colors, Lily and Geranium. Dressed in a durable, perfect for everyday use, pebble grained leather and accessorized with polished silver hardware and a logo blazon nameplate that dangles in front. This bag also features rolled leather shoulder straps (7″ drop), an open top, fine textile lining, two interior leather-trimmed zip pockets and a flat base with protective metal feet. The drawstrings on both sides are finished with signature logo-engraved silver metal Tod’s pieces. The size of this bag is very spacious so you won’t have any problem running out of room. And with the spacious open mouth design, you won’t have any problem with loosing your wallet or anything. Measurements are 15.75″ length x 11″ height x 5.5″ width.

The style of this structured satchel is simply fabulous.

The body of the Boston is made of leather in iridescent golden rose which has a sort of a metallic sheen to it. Other features include the polished silver metal details, rolled leather handles and a removable leather shoulder strap with a 13″ drop. The mouth of the bag keeps your items secure with wraparound double-zip closure. When opened reveals a wild leopard-print textile lining with an inside phone pocket and zipped pocket. Measurements are about 13″ length x 8″ height x 8″ width

So which style works best with which body types?

If you are PETITE:
Smaller people can easily become overwhelmed by large handbags. Small to medium shoulder bags are your best bet. If you want to create an illusion of height, then pick a style that is taller than it is wide.

Louis Vuitton Monogram Canvas Eva

If you are TALL and SKINNY:
Don’t have a lot of curves? Try a large, unstructured hobo style. If you prefer a smaller bag, then select on that hits you right at your waist when worn over the shoulder. Both of these will help you create the illusion of a curvier figure.

Maison Martin Margiela Large Leather Sac Bag

If you are PLUS SIZED:
Go for larger, more structured handbags like totes and briefs. A bag that is wider than it is tall will help balance out your figure. Smaller bags should be avoided since they will appear out of proportion when compared to your size.

Tod’s Restyled D-Bag Media

If you are PEAR SHAPED:
Try a smaller bag that fits snugly under your arm. It will help you draw attention away from your hip area and toward your bustline. This will help balance out your figure. Messenger bags and satchels should be avoided since they will cause the eye to move downward.

Fendi Large Patent Baguette

If you are BIG BUSTED:
A large chest will only be emphasized by a handbag that hits you above the waist. Instead, choose a messenger style or handheld satchel. This will help draw the eye downward, away from your bust, and can help balance out your figure.

Louis Vuitton Damier Azur Speedy 30

Now that you know what style of handbag will flatter you the most, you will be able to make more confident decisions when it comes to purchasing a new bag. But wait, what if you absolutely fall in love with a bag that may not suit your body type? Don’t worry! Here at TBF we are all about what makes YOU happy. So as long as the bag makes you feel fabulous, then by all means, wear it with pride!

Kate’s bag is the Tod’s T Bag tote. It features black patent leather and large front pockets that give it a funky appeal. It’s large and roomy and gives your outfit that extra spunk. I found it on saks.com for $1,500. This bag definitely makes Kate’s character look like a stylish diva.

I can’t wait until Bride Wars comes out, not just because I love these actresses but because they give us high expectations of what type of fashion we can look forward to. This should definitely be a fashionista film.

Do I like patents? Sure, I do! Who doesn’t like patents? Somehow patents just make every color look more delicious. Red patent reminds you of a shining red apple and blue patent reminds you of the deepest, blue ocean. Just simply being patent can make all the difference in what would otherwise be a “boring” bag. I can’t imagine I’m the only one that feels this way, otherwise patents would cease to exist. But nope, they have been holding on strong season after season. Why not just say that patents are a classic now and call it good?

So what do I have pictured above? Well, I thought it would be fun to show patent bags from two different price ranges. I swear I was trying to find bags that were comparable in size and appearance, so please forgive me if something looks a little off! So whether you’re in the mood for a tiny clutch or a super-sized tote, you are sure to find one that’s just perfect for you in patent!

There are other companies guilty as well, but by far Forever21 is up there as one of the top (popular) chains that mass produces cheaply made items that are highly similar if not identical, minus the designers logo, to that made by a designer. Clothes, jewelry, handbags, you name it. F21 copies it all.

F21 is recognized for their huge selection of inspired-by handbags and even been hit with a few lawsuits for copyright infringement. But is that slowing them down? No. Odd isn’t it? You would think that with all the lawsuits against the forever21 chain they would resist from copying other designers works. You would think. I wonder who buys these bags anyway. Is quality over quantity not in everyones best interest anymore? The plastic F21’s just seem like a waste of money and probably wont last more than 2 weeks of wear.

Anyway, here’s the latest inspired-by versions:

F21 does the Fendi Spy Satchel
This is no big surprise.. Ever since the Fendi Spy bag was declared an “IT bag” years ago, F21 added it to their interpretation to their product stock.

The F21 faux leather (plastic) hobo retails for $29.80. Which is still a waste of money. Right now you can find a couple Fendi Spy Satchel on sale over at bluefly.

F21 does the Marni Balloon Bag
Even the Balloon bag by designer Marni isn’t safe.

The F21 plastic sack retails for $31.80, while the Marni purse carries a retail price of $1,317 over at net-a-porter.

F21 does the Botkier Bianca Bag
On the right is a tacky plastic version of Botkier’s hit piece, the Bianca satchel.

The plastic F21 purse can be found for just under $20, while the Bianca over at Shopbop retails for $595.

F21 does the Tod’s Nylon Messenger Media Bag
Nooooo. Not my beloved Tod’s Media bag! I love the fashion brand Tod’s. Classic, been around for years and have never had a problem with knockoffs, well not nearly as bad as other designers.

The satin F21 version retails for $17.80. The real deal retails for $775. Find at eluxury.

Right now the Tod’s Cary Satchel is on sale for 20% off. Available in beige, black, saga and ivory.
