Just about every week I bring you another fabulous design by Rebecca Minkoff and this week is no different. Mrs. Minkoff has released another handbag that is making me drool and it’s the “Love Spell“. What a great name for a bag! It definitely put me in a love spell when I saw it and now I want it! Oh, Mrs. Minkoff release this in black with gold hardware I’m sure it would be a hit! At least it would be with me!
Obviously, what caught my eye about this bag was the ostrich-embossed leather which seems to be everywhere these days? I saw Michael Kors release handbags, shoes and accessories in the ostrich-embossed leather and I wasn’t that much of a fan of it. Michael Kors is one of my favorite designers but he released the collection in very vibrant colors. I’m not a colorful person so of course I wasn’t a fan. Now Rebecca Minkoff’s take on ostrich-embossed leather is fabulous! Not bright and more practical to match when it comes to wardrobe choices.
This might sound a little strange, but when I go hiking I like to carry with me a shopping tote. I just hate backpacks. So when we went on vacation last summer, I took a big floppy shopping tote with me for the mountain trails instead of a backpack. It was actually quite comfortable, but I didn’t have much more in it than a camera and some snacks. As you might have guessed, I have become quite partial to shopping totes now. I love looking at them everywhere I go! That’s why I am loving the Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent Printed Shopper Tote!

Recently, I wrote about the Prada Cabochon & Rhinestone Raso Clutch and I made a comment about how Prada had sort of fallen off my radar. Prior to seeing that clutch, nothing Prada had been putting out was doing it for me. I think the same thing has been happening with Gucci. Nothing really has that “wow” factor and the designer just hasn’t been on my radar. Well, until now! Yep, I have finally stumbled upon a Gucci bag that made my jaw drop! Meet the Gucci 1970 Bag in Python!
I’ve always held a weakness for straw handbags. Perhaps I’ll never get my money’s worth out of them, as a leather or canvas selection will most definitely make my first carrying pick. I’m really admiring what Carlos Falchi has brought to the bag racks this season with the Straw & Python Tote. It’s the daring and feisty collaboration of the straw textile with stunning python skin, creating one truly remarkable piece.
Gucci’s limited edition pieces are always pleasant to see and for some, difficult to adapt as daily wear. One of the designers most sought out hobos arrives extra bright and full of charm this season; greet the Jackie Python Las Vegas Bag!
As the season approaches, there will be plenty of holiday parties from casual to formal. You’ll need a showstopper clutch (or two) to add life to the party! Check out some of my favorites this season!

Pretty sure I’ve mentioned before that my whole entire wardrobe is 95% black and white. I do have some color in my closet but very little. Let me mention, by color I also mean Navy Blue so it’s still very dark. For about two years now, I’ve been a black and white addict when it comes to clothes. I’m not gothic and everything I wear is classy but for some reason those are my comfort colors.
The Kate Spade “Fanfare Missy” is the perfect clutch to add to my collection. Yes, it’s kind of wild but to carry around when I’m feeling a little daring would be fun! To be exact, I have this zebra printed top that I wear with leggings, carrying around this clutch with it would be the ultimate match!
