Anya Hindmarch Roslyn Clutch and Floyd Beach Case in Fuchsia!

Kimberly — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 00:17:09 +0000

Brighten up your day and night with the Anya Hindmarch Roslyn Clutch and the Floyd Beach Case in Fuchsia!

Typically, I’m not a matchy-matchy girl, but this selection from Anya Hindmarch has me tickled “pink”! There are just so many applications for this pair. Imagine strolling Worth Avenue, heading to a ladies lunch or rocking some edgy clubwear with this shocking pink fuchsia clutch!

The Roslyn patent clutch features a detachable gold tone chain strap that provides the convertability that I adore! The foldover flap at the front has an exposed twist designer fastening, pleat detailing and gold designer emblem at back. The interior is a beige suede with a patch pocket. Measuring 9″x6″x1″, this little gem is just large enough for your essentials. At $475, the price is affordable enough to purchase a matching accessory!

The Floyd Beach Case is so adorable, I just can’t stand it! I’m surrounded by the drab grays and browns of winter and this bright fuchsia card case emblazoned with the word “BEACH” transports me away from the winter blahs. Can you imagine how easy it will be to find in your big roomy bags. You will not be able to miss the bright pink! Additionally, there is an adorable little tassle attached to the zipper pull for a bit of whimsy. 5″x3″ makes it the perfect size for your cards and cash! For $115, I can afford this hot bit of color to brighten my day.

Both items are available at NET-A-PORTER.COM

Accessory finds under $50 (LeSportsac, Botkier, FREECITY, Indah)

Deysa — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 00:33:27 +0000

With the start of a new decade is anyone seeking to replace some of their beloved everyday accessories for more current and newer styles? I personally am in search of a new cosmetic bag and I know just were to go if I want the luxurious designer piece, but sometimes cheap thrills find their way into your collection, especially when they retail for no more than $50. If you seek you shall find, and I spotted these cute name brand pieces carrying extra affordable price tags.

The first that caught my eye and the most colorful from the batch goes to the laptop sleeve; it’s the Reverie by LeSportsac. The printed floral pattern in delightful colors stands apart from your typical solid colored common sleeves. Price tag for this pretty reads an affordable $38.

Treat your makeup to a leather snake-embossed cosmetic pouch. Brushes and lip-glosses of all lengths will fit just right in this horizontal accessory. The Botkier Bowtie pouch arrives in peacock snake or the desert snake version and retails for $45.

A large bag that’s noticeable, available in five different colors and is priced at only $28 goes to the Life, Nature, Love tote by FREECITY. Ideal for casual canvas days or for the Beach, and for as low as they go, you’ll feel the need to grab some extras to gift.

…and finally, an oversized white (but not so boring) canvas clutch that arrives with extra pockets, zippers, chains and fringe. I like the grey branches print and of course the $50 price tag this Indah clutch carries.

Animal Print Bag Trend: we love Minkoff, Kooba, Wang + Burch!

Deysa — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 19:24:08 +0000

I couldn’t help but point out some designer accessories sporting some of the trendiest animal prints you could find right now. I never thought I could actually call a search for the perfect animal print handbag to add to my collection, but within the past couple of months, I can honestly say that I’m hunting for one, just haven’t found it yet.

Woah baby! How adorable is that Leopard Baby Bag? FYI, it’s by Rebecca Minkoff. When I think baby bag, I picture fun, quirky colors and prints that you normally wouldn’t fit into your everyday wardrobe and this would definitely fit into that category. Yes it’s a bit busy but I’m completely loving the look, and of course you can’t get any funkier than raspberry leopard!

With the Elena bag by Kooba, again we have a familiar critter print with a dash of fun. Light pink zebra prints with metallic braided accents… I would never! But seriously, something is going on with this piece that I’m absolutely liking. The spacious tote size, the $245 price tag and the fact that it’s hand made gives this Kooba a two thumbs up in my book.

For the gal or guy who is planning a long or short-term getaway, this Moc Croc Daphne Duffel by Alexander Wang is nearly perfect. Style this duffel with a suit, or simply jeans and tee. It’s spacious, sophisticated and sports that all-black look you simply can’t go wrong with.

If you’re seeking that chic animal printed wallet, then how about the Python Suki by Tory Burch. The gold toned hardware and tan prints makes a stunning presentation or if that’s not your style, then check out toned down black python and gunmetal version.

All four pieces can be found at a single destination and that’s online through our friends via: Shopbop

Gift Ideas: Designer Wallets for Him

BrS — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 23:34:27 +0000

It’s that time of year again! The leaves have fallen and the weather is turning colder. Thanksgiving is just around the corner and Christmas will be here before we know it! Oh my, where has the year gone? It seems like just yesterday that I was having to remember to write 09, instead of 08, when writing the date on my checks.

With the days passing by so quickly, it may be a good idea to start thinking of potential Christmas gifts for that special someone. Nothing, in my opinion, is worse than waiting until the last minute. So what do you think ladies? Would your significant other enjoy a new wallet this year? Personally, I think my husband could use a new one. Of course, he would probably disagree with that. Something can be completely worn out and he will still refuse to get rid of it. But don’t worry ladies, I can be very persuasive when I need to be. Hehe… I’ll simply throw it out myself when he’s not looking! Okay, okay, maybe I won’t.

But in the mean time, I would like to share with you some of my top wallet picks. And don’t worry, I tried to include a little something for everyone.

Happy shopping!

Coach Wallet Finder: discover which wallet was made for you.

Jennifer — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 22:31:49 +0000

I just received a mailer in my box about Coach’s new Wallet Finder. Where they match you up with one of their wallets, based on some of your preference criteria, such as function, size, design, and materials.

Why not, lets give it a try. I’m dying to know which wallet Coach has lined up for me….

First question they ask: “What size are you looking for?”
I picked medium. Not a fan of wallets that are too small and get lost amongst the other accessories in my purse. Also not a fan of larger sizes. Don’t really need the card space.

Next question pops up: “Do you have a favorite wallet style?”
I would have checked ‘not really’, if they asked, but since it’s not an opinion, I went ahead and went with the Compact clutch. After hovering over to get the details of each, I decided that one has the most useful features for me.

Now for fabric: “Do you have a preference on fabrication?”
I sure do. Didn’t take me long to answer this one. Leather. Although I have to admit, I think Coach’s new leopard print fabric is pretty rad.

Time to pick the shade: “Choose a favorite color”
This question actually took me a while to answer. I am all for bright and bold small accessories. Little things that just burst in vibrant color is something I crave. However… that is not an option in Coach’s little Wallet Finder. So disappointed. The options: choose between brown/khaki or grey/black. Alright, I guess I will go with black.

*drum roll please* and Coach matched me up with the Gramercy Embossed Leather Compact Clutch.

Impressed, because out of all the wallets displayed on coach.com, this was indeed my pick. I love the quilting. And usually I am so not one for picking up a signature bag, but this wallet is pretty darn cute. And even though I didn’t get to pick a bright color for the exterior, what I love about this little piece is when popped open, reveals a pretty pink interior. Fabulous!

Go give it a try @ coach and see what they match you up with.

L.A.M.B ‘Gilded’ Flap Wallet

Marissa — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 18:35:14 +0000

I’d have to admit, I always hated L.A.M.B. I couldn’t understand why Gwen Stefani charged so much for her designer goods especially since L.A.M.B. hasn’t been around too long. When shoes and handbags cost over $300, I would like to think I’m putting my money towards a product that is made in France or Italy. I still think L.A.M.B. is way overpriced, but I must say that I’m loving the things the designer brand comes out with.

My absolutely favorite fashionable accessory by L.A.M.B. is definitely the shoes. The shoes are so amazing, and edgy that they fit my wardrobe perfectly. Only downside is that they are on the expensive side.

Sometimes, I do love the handbags and wallets L.A.M.B. comes out with. Right now, I’m currently liking the “Gilded” Flap Wallet. The wallet isn’t really my style, but for some reason it reminds me of the 80’s. I’m an 80’s baby, and the wallet seems like it would fit in perfect with that era. The color, fabric and zipper of the wallet all seem old fashion to me. I could totally see someone rocking this wallet with an outfit from American Apparel.

American Apparel has wild clothes that can definitely bring someone back to the 80’s. If you want to relive the 80’s then you may want to check the over-popular store to get some stylish clothes to match your new L.A.M.B.
“Gilded” Flap wallet.

You can purchase the L.A.M.B. “Gilded” Wallet at Nordstrom for $85, which is an amazing price for an accessory by L.A.M.B. L.A.M.B. has always been on the expensive side, so this wallet is an absolute steal. Great wallet to by, to give the one you are currently using a nice break.

Marc Jacobs Framed Wallet Sequined Purse

Deysa — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 17:20:48 +0000

It’s usually no biggie to find a cute compact accessory that’ll hold your loose change and also double as a paper currency and cardholder, most are recognized as a wallet. So what does a multifunctional wallet and a purse all-in-one look like? Something like the Framed Wallet Sequined Purse by Marc Jacobs. It’s a newbie to his collection, and although it’s glimmery and eye catching, I find this accessories silhouette to be rather strange.

The fact that every separate compartment is quite detailed rather than compacted into one is different, and in a way, might keep you a bit more organized. To one side of this purse you get a fold over wallet style section, lined in fuchsia leather, and convenient for your cash and plastics; and to it’s opposite side, a fun sequin embellished coin pouch, adorned with gold studs and a kiss lock closure.

Simply carry this piece close to you by means of the long leather shoulder strap. The safety pin and beaded shoulder strap is detachable in case the small accessory with a long shoulder strap look isn’t your style. I think it’s adorable, but not something I would wear. If you’re a fan, you can pick up this multifunctional Marc Jacobs piece for $595 by shopping through: NET-A-PORTER

Dolce & Gabbana Lock Wallet

Marissa — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 20:54:57 +0000

I currently own a Louis Vuitton Wallet, but I can very much appreciate a beautiful wallet. Lately, I’ve been looking at wallets in hopes to find another one just as beautiful as my Louis Vuitton one to purchase. Nothing is as classic as a Louis Vuitton wallet, but I do agree that not only does a fashionista need “bag” variety they also need “wallet” variety.

It takes a lot for me to like wallet. Something either needs to be unique about the wallet, or it just needs to be plain beautiful. When I came across the Dolce & Gabbana “Lock” Wallet, as I like to call it, I was quite impressed. It was fairly simple, but yet the little lock in front of the wallet made it look that much more cuter and stylish.

What is cool about a wallet like this, is that you really could wear it two different ways. I would personally use this as a wallet to throw in my purse, but some people like to use stylish wallets as if they were a clutch. Think about it, if you have nothing to bring with you other than money or some credit cards then carrying a wallet like a clutch wouldn’t seem like a bad idea. I could never go anywhere without a cell phone, but if you can live without a cell phone, and lip gloss then carrying around a stunning wallet would probably be ideal for you.

The padlock really makes this wallet look unique to me, and that’s not even the coolest part. The top zip closure has an attached leather strap and keyring, so that you can actually “lock” the wallet up. Not very ideal, but definitely a cute little feature to the wallet.

The Dolce & Gabbana “Lock” Wallet can be purchased at Zappos for $467.20, which I consider to be a great price for a high end designer wallet. Get yours before they are all gone!

Thrifty Thrill Bold and Colorful Wallets over @ Bluefly

Deysa — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 22:34:28 +0000

The next best thing to handbags and shoes has got to be the handy dandy wallet. Many ladies favor the ease of owning a single wallet, while others swap them daily as they would a purse. I myself own a single practical piece, but the idea of adding a new addition doesn’t sound like a bad idea. Listed below include some of my favorite candidates right now, they’re fun, bold, and some serious eye candy.

All the hype over colorful wallets starts off with the ‘azure’ Gabby continental by no other than Hype. Besides the glazed blue leather, the oversized zipper pulls are fun and the many interior compartments are also great. You can find this wallet at an amazing price of $51!

Balenciaga fans, how does a mandarin orange wallet marked down 20% sound? Giant silver hardware adorns this beauty and the interior features are truly satisfying. You just can’t beat luscious Italian leather sporting one of the season’s hottest colors.

Yves Saint Laurent’s Y-Mail continental wallet has been a favorite amongst many Bagista’s and that’s really no surprise. YSL delivers a really unique and way cool design, especially in pretty fuchsia/gold. Available in shiny patent leather for $476.

If you’re digging the darker berry colors instead, Chloe’s ‘Paraty’ wallet in dark purple looks like a winner. With distressed leather like that and shiny gold hardware, I give this piece a two thumbs up!

Whichever wallet catches your attention the most, you simply can’t go wrong either one. These are just a few of the many beauties you can find on sale right now. Discover many more fun and bold wallets via: Bluefly
