Amanda Seyfried was spotted heading to the local gym in Vancouver with her co-star, Shiloh Fernandez. The pair are currently filming for their new movie, Red Riding Hood. Amanda was dressed appropriately for her workout, with a loose-fitting tee and a pair of capri pants. Her handbag, however, wasn’t exactly what I would call a gym bag. It’s the Valentino Fleurs Couture Tote and Amanda has been spotted carrying it on numerous occasions. Hmm… I guess she really loves that bag. I can’t blame her though. I mean, the Valentino Fleurs Couture Tote is one beautiful bag! It is adorned from top to bottom with elegantly sculpted leather flowers. Each one looks like a work of art! I love the bright colors and how each of the flowers is a different kind, which is unlike other Valentino handbags that have flowers incorporated into their design. What a cheery-looking piece! And so perfect for the Spring/Summer months!

Lions & Tigers, clutches and totes…. Oh,my! These prints are everywhere this season! Sure, leopard and tiger are always visible in some capacity, but this year, you can find these prints by almost every designer with price points both low and high! While I kept being tempted by so many of the styles out there, if I listed them all here, I wouldn’t get to review them in-depth and individually. So here are just a few from brands you know and love to get you started on the hunt yourself!

Judith Leiber Wildcat Crystal Embellished Clutch
I thought I’d start off with a dream bag. Only a few can afford, but will cherish. The quality is jewel-like and so special to see. Silver, gold and brown leopard shaped box covered with fine swarovski crystals. Gold leather lining and a fine, chain link hand that can hide inside the bag finish this bag beautifully. There’s even an designer engraved miniature vanity mirror. Oh so amazing for $5495.

Valentino handbags never fail when it comes to making me drool! Each one is drop dead gorgeous in its own unique way. And for many bagistas, a Valentino handbag is the ultimate holy grail! The designer is famous for a lot of things. However, when I think of Valentino, it is either big bows or rosettes that come to mind. Hmm… but which one screams Valentino more? Right now, it has to be the rosettes! Oh my gosh, the Valentino Petale Tote is simply exquisite! But lately, Valentino seems to have moved past the extra large rosette design and has been experimenting with rosette clusters instead.

I’ve always been a fan of Valentino’s extra structured and braided Histoire Satchel, so when I heard the news that there’s a new Histoire in town, I definitely had to track it down. I can spot the resemblance from its older satchel sibling, but the end result is most definitely a very different product from the original. If the oversized taller classic wasn’t suitable enough for you, then check out its more compact look.

In the new Histoire I like all of its features, but being such a huge fan of the Classic Histoire, I feel like this newbie is lacking. Comparing this to the Classic, the braided handles look flimsy, the over flap isn’t quite as attractive, and I’m thinking small decorative pockets would have added more character to this version.
