Stella McCartney | Falabella Lace Chain Clutch | View!
Stella McCartney (a strict vegetarian) will never use leather or fur in her designs. After Stella’s mother passed in April of 1998, Stella stepped up her fight against the maltreatment of animals, a cause Linda had always held dear.

For this Falabella Clutch, Stella McCartney (like always) ditches the leather for luxurious materials such as panther antique lace and silk satin to create this very sexy and feminine clutch – imo worth every penny.

How can you not love Miss Mischa Barton doesn’t, she just look gorgeous in this dress (cant think of the designer). The event was the annual Prince’s Trust Berkeley Square Summer Ball and the clutch purse of choice was the Stella McCartney Falabella Lace Chain Clutch.

Judith Leiber | Cleopatra and Medusa Collection | Mischa Barton
This is an update on the Judith Leiber post that I blogged about when the news was first introduced – The bags are set to debut this month at all Judith Leiber stores (located in Las Vegas, Atlanta, New York and Costa Mesa, California) Saks Fifth Avenue, and Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus and retail in the high range of $2,000 to $10,000.

Stylist to the rich and famous celebrities Rachel Zoe is teamed up with Judith Leiber to create high-end chic bags with reptile detailing. Rachel Zoe (a vegetarian) is obsessed with animal skins and incorporates much of this passion into her new line. The exotic animal skins used to create these bags, to name a few, are crocodile, lizard, and python. To this collection there are two basic styles that Rachel Zoe created with Frank Zambrelli the creative director for Judith Leiber. The Medusa style is a pliable satchel with ruched outside pockets at the sides, woven leather or suede shoulder straps and a flap closure and the Cleopatra is an oversize, rectangular minaudiere. The bags come in about 12 color variations, including a siren red and a matte gold, and are topped off with a heavy gold fob depicting two snakes coiled around a ring. The inspiration for these pieces came from by an old French doorknocker. Huh, I wonder if that’s what Christian Louboutin had in mind.

I haven’t seen this collection yet but I’m very curious to see how these bags turn out. So far from what I have been reading about this collection I’m not that impressed, I would rather save my money and buy a more classic bag, such as a Hermes.

Luella | Gisele Handbag | On Sale $599.89 | View!
Long ago the Luella Gisele was once the hottest “It Bag” of the season. It was first introduced in later months of 2003, but was not instantly crowned with the “It Bag” status until months later when we saw it on the arms of almost all fashionable starlets and celebrities. Wonder what’s in the name? Young designer Luella Bartley named the Luella Gisele bag after the Brazilian beauty supermodel Gisele Bundchen.

Even though this bag dropped it’s “It Bag” Status, it’s still one bag that is admired by all ages. See below, Jennifer Aniston and Mischa Barton are still toting theirs.

Chanel | Luxury Line | View!
Sometimes I feel like I am the only one who likes the Chanel Luxury Line. I like most of the bags from this Luxury Line, except in the denim version. Pictured above is the large bowling bag in smooth calfskin leather.

Celebrity | Mischa Barton | Dior Gaucho Bag
Mischa Barton arrives at ITV Studios with a gigantic Dior Gaucho purse. Mischa is keen to move into more serious acting roles but has found the ghost of Marissa is haunting her: “People assume I’m from Orange County. Marissa hasn’t seen much outside her bubble, but I like people to discern that I’m an English-Irish girl who grew up in New York and moved around a lot with her dad’s job.”

Mischa is set to take an acting course with RADA (Royal Academy for the Dramatic Arts) in London this summer.
