After seeing the Gustto Occhialli Bag featured during the 30 Days of Giveaways going on here at Bag Bliss and The Bag Forum, my interest in the brand was instantly rejuvenated. But how could it not be? After all, the bag was beautiful! And I have always had this deep admiration for Agathe Planchon. Her company began as a small, internet-based business. It certainly didn’t take Agathe long, however, to climb her way to the top of the fashion world and now her handbags are loved by celebrities and bagistas alike! Gustto handbags are simple, gorgeous, and unique. What more could a girl really ask for?

If you have ever come in contact with a beehive in real life, you know it could be one of the most interesting structures you’ve encountered, yet an extremely scary one as well.

The buzzing sound of the bees alone is alerting enough to stay away, as you probably don’t want to deal with such an injury. Here’s a beehive that’s 100% less intimidating and one of the most beautiful you could possibly run into.

Meet the Beehive Clutch, presented by evening bag genius, Judith Leiber.

Tis’ the season to throw sequins onto pretty much everything you can get sequins onto. From ornaments to sweaters, you can buy all of your accessories and wants glamed and ready for the holidays.

I myself fell victim of a black sequined skinny scarf; it’s cute, can get uncomfortable every once in a while, but I can see myself hanging it up after winter for the next year to come. But what about a sequined handbag, could it possibly last you the season plus the following year? I’d say yes, especially since I’d say the glimmery trend is to wear every so often, not necessarily everyday.

Miu Miu’s upcoming capsule collection for Valentine’s Day is absolutely adorable.

Simple T-shirts, necklaces, handbags, and luggage tags.

As expected for a Valentine Day themed capsule collection, each of the pieces in this collection comes topped off with the signature Heart ornament.

Elle magazine reports the items in the capsule: T-shirts, necklaces, handbags, and luggage tags.

What Goes Around Comes Around Vintage are known for finding the most interesting and truly vintage designer pieces, globally. Just follow along on their latest finds and you’ll know just how serious this team of voyagers are.

My vintage weakness at the moment has got to be anything attractive by Chanel and sure enough guess who just got one classy Chanel bag in? It’s a Quilted Flap Bag in Camel and it’s presented by WGACA for ShopBop. The thought of how popular this style was years ago and how it still ranks at the top of many Bagista’s wish lists today is astounding.

As mentioned previously this is a vintage find, so a couple of flaws or signs of wear is expected. Even as I took a few moments to study this piece, it is indeed in good condition for something claimed to be pre-loved.

The color listed reads Camel and with the gold toned hardware of choice it creates an overall stunning combination. All the wonderful features of chained leather-woven straps, logoed turn lock, smooth quilting and more can be found on this piece as well. My only complaint would be the incredibly high asking price of $3,850!

Just in: Anya Hindmarch “Christmas Totes” are here..

At first glance of the mailer that popped up in my box this morning, my favorite of the bunch is the Vixen! Of course everyone else must like that version as well, because I just wondered over the Anya Hindmarch site, and apparently that style sold out already. Temporarily I hope.

The Holiday 2009 editions range in price from about $98 for the simple canvas fruit and vegi Market Tote and on up to $265 for a full-print (in my opinion more of an) everyday style.

What do you guys think of the new seasonal edition?
