As promised, it’s time for another one of our fabulous free handbag giveaways. Up for grabs this month, to one lucky BagBliss reader is the Python Sport Holdall Satchel by Pauric Sweeney!

This bag is pretty breathtaking. The Italian made Sport Holdall is dressed in a shiny season-less metallic python and iridescent patent leather accents throughout. Make note, as this bag ages the exotic python material is expected to go through some changes – the scales will naturally slightly lift and curl.

The bag features a single large zip pocket along the front as well as a team of large dual flap pockets with pushlock closure on each side. Which is perfect for keys and your cell phone.

Oh my gosh, I cannot believe prom is almost here! I was pretty much unaware of the fact that it is now March until I stumbled across display after display of prom dresses at the mall the other day. Where has the time gone? Oh well, it was actually nice seeing all of the pretty prom dresses for this year. It brings back some fond memories for me. Hehe… I was even tempted to try some on. You know, just for fun! And I hear short prom dresses (like the one pictured above) are in this year. Not only are they super cute, but also super easy on the wallet. I bet many of the mothers I saw out shopping with their daughters were delighted to see these less expensive styles. But all of this reminiscing about the good ol’ days got me to thinking about (you guessed it) accessories. After all, every girl needs the right accessories to complete her dream look for prom. So I thought it would be fun to write a blog post about accessories for prom, just for all you high school gals out there! Below you’ll find some of my favorites. But don’t worry, they too are easy on the wallet. There’s nothing here that’s over $50! Enjoy!

As we approach the warmer months ahead, I’m beginning to remember what Mr. Sun’s warm rays of light feel like. It might still be a bit too cool in my area to start stocking up on bathing suit gear, but it never hurts to browse around and start listing things to add to the beach wear section of your closet.

As soon as I spotted these beach totes by Diane von Furstenberg, I adored each one. For the Bagista in search of a new beach tote, you must check these out.

It is sometimes hard to believe that Halston‘s ticket to fame came when the company’s founder, Roy Halston Frowick, designed the pillbox hat Jacqueline Kennedy wore to her husband’s 1961 presidential inauguration. The company today, with London-based designer Marios Schwab currently holding the creative reins, is most famous for its sensual dresses and simple, yet chic handbag designs. Many fashionistas find themselves longing for the effortless glamor that only Halston can deliver. Unfortunately, most Halston pieces lie far beyond the reach of an average gal’s budget.

I love satchel’s, especially when I can spot one in black. I usually don’t like embossed leather but “The Stinger” Snakeskin- Embossed Leather Satchel by Jack Rabbit is drop dead gorgeous. Black leather always looks amazing with gold tone hardware, and I love the fact that it has two separate compartments. I’ve never owned a satchel that had two different compartments, but I would imagine my bag would be a lot more organized if I did. The only “con” to that though, is that I’m sure there isn’t much room for your essentials but style wise the bag is amazing.

Architectural fashion seems to be a hot trend right now, and when I came across the Novella Royale “Mister Studded” Tote I was in awe. It’s not a bag I would personally buy to add to my collection but it’s pretty interesting to look at.

What really caught my eye was not what the bag looked like, but the hidden features about it. The “Mister Studded” Tote was handmade in the U.S.A. from recycled leather.
