Take one look at the Leah & Bliss Mini “Uptown” Pearl Bag and what other designer brand comes to your mind? If you’re thinking what I’m thinking of, it’s definitely the Hermes “Birkin”.

I’m sure if someone were to interview the designers at Leah & Bliss they would say they were inspired by Hermes but added their own little twist to the over popular bag. After I got over the Hermes comparison, I instantly thought of Lady Gaga. I’m pretty sure one of Lady Gaga’s most famous outfits was an outfit full of bubbles. Even though this handbag doesn’t have bubbles all over it, the pearls do kind of give off that effect.

For some odd reason, I’ve had an obsession with evening bags lately. I don’t know what it is about them but I love them. Maybe it’s because I’ve been in this fashion mood where I love to dress up and what better way to accessorize a dressy outfit than with an evening bag. My favorite evening bag is the Swarovski “Kisoque” bag, which I own, but the strange Cassandra LA “Gem” Studded Calf Hair bag comes in a close second.

I’m not one to like anything with animal hair on it. No I’m not a Peta activist but having hair or fur on anything really bothers me. I just don’t like the feel of it. When I saw the Cassandra LA “Gem” Studded Calf Hair Evening Bag I was a little hypnotized. In the oddest way possible, it’s gorgeous! I absolutely love how the studs look like little spikes coming straight out of the bag.

I’ve always been into the whole rocker chick look and my style reflects it in the most chicest way possible. I love all the studs, black and white clothes, and edginess of the whole trend.

When I spotted the Navoh “Chambers” Studded Faux Leather Crossbody Clutch I was instantly intrigued, even though it was a brand I wasn’t familiar with. Pyramid studs always catch my attention especially lately since they seem to be on anything that’s featured as a member of the rocker chick family.

Fall is here and Winter will be here as soon as we know it, and it seems like”quilted” bags are on the seasons hot list once again. When I went shopping today, I noticed that the handbag department was full of quilted handbags. Coincidence? I think not. It’s definitely a hot trend for these frigid months.

Ever since I laid my eyes on the Marc Jacobs Quilted “Stam” bag, I became infatuated. Quilted handbags give off a sense of classic fashion mixed with sophistication. The Rebecca Minkoff “Quilted” Morning After Mini Bag is classic, gorgeous, and perfect for the upcoming season.

This season, Burberry is all about the studs. Big ones, little ones, just a few or encased, you will find a studded bag to suit your pleasure. While it seems that we’ve seen studs for awhile now, somehow Burberry has managed to make them seem a little different.

The studded leather hobo in rich chocolate with brass studs is a great everyday bag for many of us. Giant studs embellish this bag for ultimate impact. Their size takes it out of the ordinary and into extraordinary. I especially love this bag in all black version (not pictured). This bag fits nicely against the body with it’s size of 14″ x 8 1/2″ x 1 1/2″ and 9″ strap drop. $1295
Available through: Burberry Boutique at Nordstrom

Expect to find circular studs with bulls-eye engravement at the ends, a catchy feature on the Hypno Stud Morning After Mini.

Ever look up at the sky and make out a rabbit or a bear in the fluffy white clouds? Of course, we have all done that at some point in our lives. It was one of those things that you did to pass the time during those long car rides. Well, today the Botkier Sophia Large Satchel became my cloud. But, then again, I have always been a very imaginative person. So what do you think ladies? Is it an English saddle or a little boat? I’m not sure what it is, but the shape of this bag is just making me want to see things!

But you know what? I still like Coach and I admire them for their bravery in exploring new things. So I’m not going to focus on the bad stuff, or the ugly stuff for that matter. Nope, I am only going to focus on the good. And that is exactly what I have here! Meet the Coach Kristin Studded Bag!
