Ed Hardy Genesis Rebel Luella Tote
by Marissa on June 29, 2009 8 comments
I have never been a fan of Ed Hardy’s handbags, but I think I may have actually found one that I would purchase. The Ed Hardy Genesis Rebel Luella Tote can pass as “cute” and would be a great school bag. If you aren’t in school, then this bag would be perfect for those days you have a lot of things to carry. If you are in school, this bag would be amazing to carry your lap top, books, notebooks, and supplies in. I always love when I can carry all my school supplies in one bag, instead of lugging around two or three bags with me.
The Ed Hardy Genesis comes in two colors: Cream and Purple. To be honest, I love both of the colors! Cream is very light, and the Purple is very colorful! If I were to purchase this bag, I would probably buy it in purple. When I think of Ed Hardy, I think of something with lots of color, and pizazz not something with hardly any color like the “Cream” version of the bag.
The only thing I hate about this bag is the price! The price is way too high for bag that doesn’t have much to it. For $364, I rather put my money towards a handbag I really want like a Louis Vuitton.

I’m not sure if I would call this tote a day or night bag. I personally would only use this bag when I have to carry a lot of things around. For me, this would act as like a bag to carry all my heavy things in but I would still carry a purse with me. In a purse I would carry all my personal essentials, and I would put all my important work stuff in a tote much like this one.
All in all, it’s definitely a cute and stylish tote to use for just about anything.

Juicy Couture Day Dreamer Floral Tote
by Deysa on May 26, 2009 8 comments
Juicy Couture wants to keep its fans to the minute with the latest trendy handbags your Couture bucks can buy. Check out the latest tote bag to hit the Velour section, the Day Dreamer Floral Tote. Yes, most Day Dreamers do sport flowery charms and trinkets, but this Day Dreamer has a slightly different aspect. This tote sports a bohemian chic look that would compliment any casual day summer look. I’d never been one to turn down black velour and the fact that the overall color is black is a plus in my book. Looking further into the details, I’m really digging the double braided leather handles; they fit in with the theme, perfectly. Multicolor floral embroidering and a discreet embroidering among the flower stems read Juicy. Crowns, butterflies, a leather tassel, and a giant flower charm all found among the clutter as well.
This would make the perfect bag for girls of all ages. The fashion staff over at Net-A-Porter prove this with their mannequin, as you don’t necessarily have to be in your teens to rock this tote!

Mad Imports Ile St. Marie Tote
by Deysa on April 30, 2009 11 comments
It’s time to tuck in your fall/winter handbags and bring out the bright ones. Here’s a perfect candidate for World’s Most Colorful Handbag.
Just take a look at how cheerful and fun this is, it sort of reminds me of a piñata or of the cheery background page of a scrapbook. Shopbop (dot com) claims this is the ultimate resort bag, what do you ladies think? I can’t really argue with that statement as I can see why they would refer to it as that.
This bag is composed of woven dyed sea grass and colorful crochet raffia overlaps the grassy texture. My favorite feature found on the Ile Ste. Marie Tote would have to be the double squared wooden handles although they do look really uncomfortable.
This earthy bag would make a great companion to your trip to the beach and would look great with any summer dress this season.
More features include a straw interior, a patch pocket, and a button closure to keep your essentials private from its open top. This imported summer bag measures 11” x 17” x 8” and currently retails for $85.

L.A.M.B. Ceylon Pickwick Satchel
by Marissa on April 29, 2009 9 comments
L.A.M.B. has just come out with the Ceylon Pickwick handbag, and it’s fabulous! I consider it a handbag, but it was a made to be a traveling bag to carry your clothes, shoes, and the rest of your essentials.
The handbag comes with two handles and a long shoulder strap. If you are going to use this bag as a handbag I would suggest the best way to carry it is by the double handles. The shoulder strap is very long, and would best be used if you decide to use the bag as a travel bag.
I must say though, the L.A.M.B. Ceylon Pickwick bag does make a stylish travel bag. Every time I’m in an airport, it’s very rare you see a person with a fashionable carry on or suitcase. A majority of the travel bags used by the general public are very bland, and definitely not stylish.
The bag is made of genuine leather and has a front exterior flap pocket. Being that the handbag is made of leather, you can be sure it’s durable especially for a travel bag that get’s tossed around a lot. Other details of the bag include: studded accents; a top zip closure; interior lining; and interior pockets.
You can purchase the L.A.M.B. Ceylon Pickwick at Zapppos for $595. Whether you decide to use it as a handbag or travel bag, the price tag is actually great! It’s not very often you can find a versatile designer bag for such a great price!

“Fashion Can Be Bought” by Jessica Kagan Cushman
by Marissa on April 27, 2009 15 comments
Have you ever wanted a tote that was a little fashionable? Jessica Kagan has brought out the cutest everyday tote, with a little stylish message on it for all to see.
Every time I see a tote at the store, it’s either really dull looking or just plain ugly. I’ve been looking for quite some time for a cute stylish tote, but I could never find one. Even when I go to the store today, all you see are these Eco totes especially ones to put your groceries in. There is nothing wrong with an Eco tote, but sometimes a girl needs a fashionable everyday accessory in her life.
All of Jessica Kagan Cushman’s totes have really cute sayings on them. This particular tote has the best saying of all, “Fashion Can Be Bought, Style One Must Possess.” If you are a fashionista, a saying on any bag doesn’t get any better than that.
The Jessica Kagan Cushman “Fashion Can Be Bought” tote comes in only blue with white lettering. The measurements of the tote are, 8″H x 15″L x 6.5″D, which makes it kind of small. If you are a student or employee that doesn’t have to carry much on a day-to-day basis, then this tote might be perfect for you!

You can purchase the Jessica Kagan Cushman “Fashion Can Be Bought” Tote at Shop Bop for $35. The tote may be on the small size, but to get a stylish bag at only $35 is a steal! It’s not often you see a cute fashion tote, so grab yours before they are gone!

Travel in Style: Diane Von Furstenberg Runway Luggage
by Deysa on April 27, 2009 5 comments
For the ultimate traveler or for the Fashionista who feels the need to add designer luggage to their collection, Diane Von Furstenberg presents the Runway Luggage set, a four piece collection for all your travel necessities.
I was never familiar with the DVF Runway luggage, as I’m barely discovering the collection today. While browsing along all the travel accessories, I was surprised at the wide range of single items and their incredible sales price, but like most upsales, the complete set seems like a better deal for the price. Within the collection you’ll get a 29” Expandable Rolling Suitcase, the 26” wheeled case, the 21” Rolling Carry-on, and a 16” shoulder tote. So it’s quite a collection with a designer name slammed on it, I can only imagine the asking price for it. The retail price of this set happens to be a cool $1000, but right now you can find this for an extremely reduced price of $349.95!
Durable nylon twill and water/stain resistant fabrics make up these pieces. Available in Merlot (shown above) or in an Olive on Brown version, shop and receive free shipping on this set via: LuggageGuy

Adidas by Stella McCartney Zutan Gym Bag
by BrS on April 12, 2009 8 comments
Most of the time, Bag Bliss readers will hear about how much I love the Spring and Summer months. While I do enjoy the nice weather and the fact I’m not freezing my butt off 24/7, there is actually something I don’t like about Spring. What is it, you ask? Getting back into a regular workout routine! During the winter months, I seem to have little to no motivation to exercise and it is so hard to get started again once you’ve stopped for awhile. Oh well, nothing a little bit of bribing won’t cure! Let’s see, a new bag maybe? Wait, what about a new gym bag? Something that is not only stylish, but functional as well!
Introducing the Adidas by Stella McCartney Zutan Gym Bag. This nylon bag is perfect for carrying around all your workout necessities. And, best of all, it doesn’t look like a gym bag! My favorite feature is the zip-around flap opening on the top of the bag. It’s perfect for giving you easy access to larger-sized items inside the bag. I also love the cute little drawstring pocket on the outside. It would be perfect for holding your keys or cell phone.
The Adidas by Stella McCartney Zutan Gym Bag is available in Light Grey. It measures 13″ x 17″ x 7″ and it retails for only $160! Find it at *NET-A-PORTER.COM*, where they have Adidas by Stella McCartney workout clothing available as well (which, I might add, is absolutely adorable!).
