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

Sweet deal coming your way guys, on all CHia New York handbags by June Chang…
The price range of her current spring line starts at around $297 for an evening clutch (the Carla) and up, to $528 for a woven embossed handbag (the Alina). However, for the whole month of June, June is giving you all 15% off your purchases! I know, what to pick right?
After browsing through all her latest, I was totally drawn to the Farah. The bag is just gorgeous. I love the spacious size, all the conveniently located pockets for easy access and better organization, plus it has a lovely coral pink bengaline lining. It’s the perfect everyday’er. Right now it’s available in black or cognac. (I’m already on the hunt for some fall bags. cognac is such a yeah for fall.) The price of the Farah is $485, but don’t forget to use the code for a sweet deal.
Another beauty worth checking out is the Dora. What I love most about this bag is that gorgeous eye-catching gem blue color. You wont forget it. Also the pleated detailing style and turn-lock closure are the perfect combination – really just draws you in. This beauty retails for $418.
And for the Men, you weren’t left out this season. Meet Max. Work or weekender, he’s the right size for whatever your needs: Laptop, work and gym stuff, etc. The Max retails for $450
To get your 15% off discount all you have to do it enter in the very special code Bliss15 at checkout.
Get to know June: Fellow Blogger, Miss Deysa recently had the opportunity to exchange words with this amazing designer.

Coach is in the news once again involving a patent infringement, for another brand stealing one of their designs.
Last week Coach Inc. filed the suit against Brown Shoe Co. Inc., accusing the footwear firm of mirroring one of Coach’s handbag designs, the Ergo.
WWD is reports: “In a complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan on May 29, Coach accuses the retailer of selling what is “virtually an exact copy” of its Ergo Pleat handbag in the Naturalizer chain of stores. Coach began selling the Ergo Pleat bag in 2007 and patented it in December 2008. Brown Shoe did not return a call seeking comment. Coach is seeking an injunction, profits it would have made and any profits Brown Shoe made off the patent as well as other unspecified damages.”
When I went to the Naturalizer home site I didn’t see the bag they were referring to in the lawsuit, however I did spot a couple styles that looked incredibly familiar to other designers. (to name a few – ysl, f+c, and more)

When I think of Linea Pelle, I usually think of their infamous leather belts. Perhaps it’s because I have seen so many photos of celebrities wearing one around their waist — male celebrities included! The company’s president and ceo, Mira Anzaruth, has a flare for trendsetting fashion and she insists on using washed Italian leathers for all of the company’s products. But, as many of you probably already know, Linea Pelle also has a diverse collection of handbags “under their belt”.
I think what I like most about Linea Pelle handbags is the soft, slouchy shapes that they come in. These bags are definitely meant for casual, everyday wear. Take, for instance, this new style pictured above. It’s called the Alyssa Shoulder Bag. I love the large hobo shape, woven leather handle, and pop-stitch trim. I think it would make a great everyday style that offers a balance of both unstructured slouchiness and intricate little details. And this new color called Purple Dawn? Yum, yummy! I think it would be perfect for just about any season!

The Linea Pelle Alyssa Shoulder Bag measures 16.5″ x 11.5″ x 4″ and its strap has a 9″ drop. The bag also features a magnetic closure and signature zebra print lining. Find it in Purple Dawn, Sand Storm, or White Cloud (not shown) at Linea Pelle Collection. It retails for $395.
