Okay, I’m just going to come out and say it… I LOVE REBECCA MINKOFF HANDBAGS! And I am absolutely dying to get my hands on one right now! Surprisingly, I was not introduced to this designer by catching a glimpse of the Morning After Bag or the Nikki. Nope, the very first Rebecca Minkoff bag I ever laid eyes on was the Matinee. And although this style has been MIA for quite some time, it is still one of my favorites. The only problem is that it always seemed like it was just a tad too big for my liking (especially as a handheld). So when fellow TBF’er shootingstarluma mentioned she had pre-ordered the new Rebecca Minkoff MINI Matinee, I practically fell over in my chair! It wasn’t long before this beauty made its way onto my wish list. Hmm, I really hope my husband is reading this!

What’s your input on backpacks with a high end designer name to them? Personally, I’m not too fond of them as prefer a handbag to a backpack of course, but occasionally I’ve spotted some tourists in my area with say, Louis Vuitton backpacks.

I spotted a backpack like no other today, it’s by French couture brand Chanel and frankly, I don’t know what to think about it.

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 absolutely loved horses when I was a little girl! But, hey, what little girl didn’t want her very own pony? Now I never did get that pony, but I don’t think my love for horses ever really died.

So when I came across this beautiful handbag with its equestrian-inspired details, I couldn’t help but be intrigued. Introducing the Horse + Nail Scout Bag! The designer, Lindsey Hufnagel, named her line based on the German translation of her last name (”huf” meaning “hoof” and “nagel” meaning “nail”). What a fitting name for a line that takes inspiration from the designer’s love of horseback riding!

Remember the Diane von Furstenberg Stephanie Hobo, as soon as it hit the retail shops the interwoven leather slouch bag was a popular item by fashionista’s and celebrities alike. When a designer has such a success with an amazing item, they tend to expand that particular style and line to fit the convenience of all their fans. Introducing the Stephanie Bracelet Clutch by Diane von Furstenberg, the little sister to the popular hobo. I can’t get over how adorable these bracelet clutches are, their suitable for date night, dinner, club wear or any other social event where you don’t necessarily need to carry much to.
