I went Spring handbag hunting today (and yesterday), and oh it was a blast. I don’t understand why all of a sudden I am reliving the Coach and Juicy Couture Faze, which I thought I have long passed.

Juicy Couture Velour Balloon Bag with Mr. Kitters modeling inside (she loves stuffing herself in my bags). Yes, I bought the ugly – ugly balloon bag! (This bag is not loved in The Bag Forum) Haha. My opinion totally changed when I saw it in real life. This will be one of my Summer ‘07 beach bags.

Huge Michael Kors Satchel in the color Luggage. My gosh I have been on the hunt for this bag for such a long time, like since Fall ‘06, but nobody had it. Until recently Nordy’s stocked back up.

Francesco Biasia Candy Red Bag. It’s cute. That’s all I have to say. Hah. Oh no. I can see it now. Next week I will be saying “I have a Francesco Biasia handbag?” No but really this bag is pretty comfortable (and light!) to hold. It has double straps that rest softly on the arm or if you want to wear it as a shoulder bag there is a (non removable) shoulder strap.

Norstroms Purple Textured Clutch. So vibrant, I adore. Definitely a clutch that I will be spotted all over Seattle lounge-hopping with.

Coral Red Coach Shoulder Bag. Like I was saying in The Bag Forum, I only bought this bag because it was 25% off and the last one left and everyone was like. . “so, are you going to get that”. Hah. The color is pretty.

Coach Denim Signature Flap. Coach denim signature fabric with clean white shoulder straps – Oh I can not wait for spring to roll around!

Juicy Couture Cosmetic Case. Teeny Tiny. Wont fit a lot. I can stuff probably only 4 small (less than 3″) lip glosses. That’s about it.

Now go into The Bag Forum and Show Me Yours! We don’t hate, we love all designers (or non designer bags)

Marc Jacobs | Karolina Handbag
For size reference I tossed my cat in the bag. Actually I switched bags this morning before I went out for coffee and when I got back she was scrunched up inside. I’m so glad she didn’t use it as a scratching toy like what she does to my other bags when left out. So yes, photo shoot time – above is my little kitty Frisky (aka Friska Vaduschka Mamuschka / Mr. Kitters) hanging out in the gigantic (largest size) Marc Jacobs Karolina Handbag.

The Marc Jacobs Karolina bag was named after the stunning Czech supermodel Karolina Kurkova. Designer Marc Jacobs had this to say about Kurkova, “She has an angelic look with a dark side, she’s sweet and fun but looks like she could be an evil bewitching child.” – what a sweet quote.

eBay Alert I couldn’t locate my super sized bag on eBay, but if looking for a smaller version of the petunia (pink) I spotted a couple…
* Marc Jacobs Karolina – New with tags and a buy it now price of $445. (reg $975)

* Marc Jacobs Karolina – New with tags and a starting bid of $300.

Juicy Couture | English Schoolgirl Velour Small Pet Carrier
My cat Frisky ruined my leather couches, three pairs of pumps, coach purse and already scratched up my hardwood floors. It is so frustrating because it’s like she does it on purpose for attention – but when she scratched up the wood floors that was the last straw. I considered getting her declawed, but apparently declawing a cat is cruel. This I did not know this until I did a little research on the whole procedure. So, today I went and purchased soft claws – an alternative to declawing. So that was pretty interesting trying to super glue them on her little fingers, and hold her for 5-10 minutes while they dried. Let me just say that I hope they stay on for a long time so I don’t have to go through that again. I wonder if I am the only one who has a crazy cat who enjoys scratching and eating leather goods. For those of you who have a calm, good cat the Juicy Couture English Schoolgirl Velour Small Pet Carrier (color: New Day and Dusty Springfield) is a fabulous case for transporting your little kitten or puppy around town. I don’t know if I would carry my cat around in a pet carrier, I have thought about it trying it though.

Celebrity | Jessica Simpson | Louis Vuitton Monogram Canvas Handbag
mid-day post : Jessica Simpson using her puppy as a shield to block photographs, while showing off her lovely Louis Vuitton Monogram Canvas Pet Carrier. Uhm.. is there a dog in that bag? Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t think the dog would like the flashing lights as much as Jessica Simpson would.

Juicy Couture | English School Girl Medium Velour Pet Carrier
We accessorize with designer bags, ipod or mp3 player cases, scarves, jewelry, shoes, etc. now our pups or even kittens can get some of that attention and travel in the Juicy Couture way.

This pink velour bag with black leather trim and shiny gold metal hardware is embroidered on the front of the bag with “Couture Mon Amour”, detailed in rhinestones and shiny metal studs. Dangling in front of the double zipper opening is the signature polished metal chain with P&J charms. Additional important features of this pet carrier is the soft Juicy Couture signature cotton twill interior, side mesh vents, four protective feet on the leather bottom, and a separate gusseted zipper compartment with two patch pockets for all your essentials. The measurements of this bag are 13.5″ length x 10″ height x 7.75″ width.

I don’t have a dog but I have a cat. I have seen people carrying their cats around in these carriers, but the poor little kittens weren’t happy campers. This adorable velour pet carrier will match perfectly with the ‘It’s Raining Couture’ motif umbrella (below).

At eLUXURY this Juicy Couture English School Girl Medium Velour Pet Carrier is $295.00
