Judith Leiber In the Wild Clutch - 2012

We all know that my taste can be, at times, questionable.Loose.On the tacky side.I like loud bags in general, probably because I wear so much freakin' black and grey (even in the summer).Without a statement bag, I feel a little naked or under-dressed.Formal occasions are no exception - not that I have many formal occasions.Or any at all.But if I did, I'd surely want to carry some sort of ridiculous, bling-tastic, over-the-top, questionably tasteful super luxe evening bag.Which is exactly what the Judith Leiber In the Wild Clutch is.

Because you see, my dears, it's not just super sparkly.It's super sparkly AND animal-print.At the same time.And that's a stroke of quasi-tacky genius for which only the folks at Leiber, the home of the bedazzled watermelon bag, could be responsible.It's combination of two of the tackiest bag idea inspires me to continue to find the awesomeness in all things moderately distasteful, and since I'm not cool enough to have anyplace to take it, I sort of want to have one just to sit it on top of my TV and admire it's twinkling, zebra-ish glory.Buy through Neiman Marcus for $3895.

Fashion Week Handbags Prada Spring 2011 - 2012.

Fashion Week Handbags:Prada Spring 2011 - 2012. ,designer handbags

It's always disappointing when the handbags are the least impressive part of any collection, but with a line as inventive and exciting as Prada Spring 2011, I guess something had to get the short shrift.The collection's shoes (which you can check out over at TalkShoes) were the best of the season thus far, but the handbags left a bit to be desired for luxury lovers.

In keeping with the trends we've seen in Milan so far, Prada went for bright colors and multihued designs.Most of the stripes came on a canvas background, and I'll be interested to see if any of those bags are translated to leather for retail.In fact, if the bags had been made of leather from the outset instead of featuring so much canvas, my take on the collection would be lightyears more positive - I just can't get excited for high-priced cotton, even though I think the aesthetic ideas are strong and interesting.

Reed Krakoff asks the age-old question Does size matter - 2012

Reed Krakoff Boxer Satchel, $990 or Reed Krakoff Standard Mini Shoulder Bag, $525.Both via Net-a-Porter.

Although I'm something of a switch-hitter and can change back and forth between large and small day bags with relatively little thought (mostly because I work from home), it seems clear that most women either prefer something large and spacious or something smaller and easy to carry.Reed Krakoff, being a master of all things handbag-related, clearly wants to appeal to both groups with the Reed Krakoff Boxer Bag and Reed Krakoff Standard Mini Shoulder Bag, both in the same color palette of spring-friendly neutrals and brights.With both falling into the under-$1000 price bracket,New air jordans shoes, which would you pick for yourself?

Even with my ardent appreciation for small, hands-free crossbody bags, I think the Boxer is the clear winner of these two options.Because of its larger size and more complicated design, you can see more of the ivory gussets instead of just the bright yellow body and beige top flap and handles.Even though the gussets are ivory on the smaller bag too, the increased visibility on the Boxer makes the overall design feel more balanced.Balance is perhaps the most important design consideration when effectively creating a colorblocked look, and the larger satchel edges out the smaller shoulder bag in this case.Buy the Boxer for $990 or the Standard Mini for $525, both via Net-a-Porter.

Mulberry Creased Patent Mitzy Hobo - 2012.

At first glance, I was on board with the Mulberry Creased Patent Mitzy Hobo.I like big leather hobos, and I like Mulberry, so I didn't give the whole thing much of a second thought.But upon further consideration? I can't get behind this.Patent leather hobos are extremely hard to structure correctly - it's a shape that is supposed to slouch, by definition,www.discount-mbtshoes.com, and patent is a material that is much more conducive to creating structure than slouch.So, strike one.Because of the apparent lack of slouch, the handle isn't long enough.I don't think it would be comfortable to carry on my shoulder - I'm not a fan of having leather poke me in the arm pit.Strike Two.Then, the color.Oh, the color.Mulberry calls it "Lipstick, " but I certainly don't have any lipstick in this shade, and I don't think I would want a bag this color, either.it's kind of salmon-y and a little too pastel for my taste, which is the same problem I had with the last Mulberry bag I reviewed.Pastels are hard to pull off and tend to make people look either washed-out or sallow, and I think this particular color might have both effects on my skin.So, strike three, it's out.Buy through Shop Bop for $695.

Red Valentino lets you get your bow bag fix at a much lower price - 2012.

Valentino bags are expensive.And they're not regular-person expensive, either.Coach bags are the bags that normal people think are expensive; Valentino bags are the bags that normal people don't even realize exist.Sometimes I wish I was one of those people who never got bit by the fashion bug, but sadly, I'm hooked and that won't change.Not soon, not ever.

Luckily, Valentino's diffusion line Red Valentino has started selling several handbags exclusively through Saks, and I think that we can all agree that the Red Valentino Sequin Bow Crossbody would make a pretty good alternative to one of Valentino's regular four-figure options.

The design of this bag, and the big bow in particular, will be familiar to anyone who follows Valentino accessories, and I expected a similarly familiar price when I first laid eyes on the piece.I assumed that if the bags were going to bear that much of a resemblance at times, then toning down the price too much might send the wrong signals.Either my logic is wrong or the Valentino marketing people are totally undermining their accessories brand,Cheap air jordans shoes, but this bag is priced under $400.I'll assume that I'm the party in error.Buy through Saks for $395.

Finally Kate Spade gives us chic, affordable calf hair - 2012

Maybe it's always been this way and I just don't remember it, or maybe the advent of leopard print as a trend has changed prices a bit, but calf hair is expensive.Monetarily, it's positioned as a semi-exotic; it costs more than regular leather but a bit less than a brand would charge for it's lowest-tier exotic leather.In layman's terms, that's means it's kind of spendy.

Kate Spade Crown Point Sasha Shoulder Bag, $495 via Nordstrom

We're big Kate Spade fans around here already,Chanel Discount Handbags, and bags like this just make us more resolute in our fandom.You're going to see a lot of variations on this theme over the next several months, and almost all of them are going to be more expensive, not to mention less cute.The small size and boxy shape of this bag are just as relevant as the leopard print, and the little resin bow on the front adds a whimsical touch that works well with leopard.I dare you to find another representation of this trend that's this good for less than $500.Buy through Nordstrom for $495.

Elie Tahari gives us affordable leopard calf hairKate Spade Hula Ida ShopperKate Spade Montclair Jacques ToteLet our fawning adoration of Kate Spade Spring 2011 continue!

Some contemporary brands use the material, of course, but many of them choose to go with printed suede when it comes to leopard because it provides texture without jacking up their materials costs.And that's why I love the Kate Spade Crown Point Sasha Shoulder Bag; it uses calf hair in a very of-the-moment way without passing the extra cost along to the company's customers.

Does it bother you that this Marc by Marc Jacobs tote is made out of PVC - 2012

What I cannot abide, however, is a fake exotic embossed onto fake leather, which is exactly what we have with the Marc by Marc Jacobs Ozzie Square Lucy Tote, and I'm honestly a tad offended.I've had several Marc by Marc Jacobs bags over the years, and I've always been impressed with the quality of leather that the brand provides for its usually very reasonable price point.So what the heck is this?

Marc by Marc Jacobs Happy Dot Mabel ToteMarc by Marc Jacobs Miss Marc Beach ToteMarc by Marc Jacobs Q 49 Franny ToteMarc by Marc Jacobs finally takes a leap into the brights trend.

For now, I'm going to give the company the benefit of the doubt and assume that the use of PVC was meant to appease the Marc by Marc Jacobs clientele who might be opposed to wearing leather.Since the brand tends to draw in a young,Louisvuittonnus.com, urban, hipster crowd, it stands to reason that a subset of the average MbMJ customers would indeed prefer non-leather bags.But if that's the case, why still charge several hundred dollars when everyone knows that the material probably cost pennies? I have the same problem with Stella McCartney's handbags - the manufacturing price and the final retail price seem almost entirely unrelated.At least Marc's PVC purses are cheaper than Stella's, though.A small victory.Buy through ShopBop for $398.

Plenty of people prefer not to spend their money on embossed exotics,Louis Vuitton Official Website, and I can see their point.The embossed pattern never looks as good as the real thing, and when you're acquainted with the actual material, toting around the fake stuff can seem like a constant remind of how awesome a design could have looked.I like embossed materials from time to time,louisvuittonreplicahandbags4u.info, but I think the people who steer clear of them entirely have a very valid argument.

Judith Leiber Heart N Soul Bag - 2012.

Judith Leiber Heart N Soul Bag - 2012.

If you are going to be a bride, know of a bride,www.chaneldiscounthandbags.com, or just love loving, the Judith Leiber Heart N Soul Bag is perfectly cute and chic.Most Leiber bags are seen and used as art pieces, only to leave their spot in the closet a handful of times before being retired into handbag heaven.An Austrian crystal heart bag would ideally be used as a novelty piece, a handful of times at perfect occasions.One such occasion is a wedding and while I am still on the wedding kick I will profess my love of this bag.The interior is lined in metallic leather and there is a hidden chain strap if you want to wear the bag on your shoulder.Dimensions are 4″ W X 4Â½"H X 2″ D and this Leiber piece is exclusive to Saks.Buy for $2, 195.

Gucci Small Hysteria Top Handle Bag - 2012

Gucci Small Hysteria BagGucci Hysteria BagGucci Crocodile Hysteria BagJessica Simpson: Gucci Hysteria Tote and LV Dog Carrier

As always, as I looked around there were top handle bags I despised and others I found myself instantly drawn to. Well,Cheap Louis Vuitton handbags, the Gucci Small Hysteria Top Handle Bag is without a doubt, a handbag I was drawn to. As you might remember, we've posted about Gucci Hysteria bags before, in particular you might recall the ginormous price tag associated to the the Gucci Crocodile Hysteria Bag. Luckily, the Small Hysteria Top Handle Bag has a much smaller price tag. Although saving money, I love how the lightly gathered lamÃ© patent leather, with side tie accents and a metal Gucci crest show off the bag's elegance. There is a zip-top closure, inside zip, cell phone and PDA pockets, not to mention plenty of storage space! And of course, double top handles. So, does this bag make your "IT" bag list? Buy through Saks for $1,395.00.

For all of you out there who are considered to be the handbag expert within your circle of friends, how often do you hear,Buycheaplouisvuitton4u.com, "what would you say is the ‘IT' bag of the moment"? When Megs first really started to follow fashion and handbags I would *always* go to her for advice. Now that I work with her, I find people asking me the same kind of questions I used to ask her. Personally,Louisvuittonreplicahandbags4s.com, I don't think there is ever just one "IT" bag at a given time. However, it is undeniable that right now, top handle bags are making a run for that coveted title.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Faridah Leather Bag - 2012

With the doleful weather in NYC, the streets are filled with black. It would go against the grain to add a pop of color, though spring really is around the corner and spring craves bright bold colors. Today has been so dreary,Chaneloutlet360.com, and between the umbrellas and ponchos the only color lining the streets of New York are the yellow Taxi's. But I am ready for bright bold colors! Vlad and I were in a showroom today browsing Fall 2008 bags, but the remainders from Spring are what caught my attention. The bold colors were eye catching and refreshing. I am still waiting to find my perfect pop of color to make my late spring purchase. If you are looking for an everyday bag that is not too much of a splurge but still a great way to add color to your wardrobe, the Marc by Marc Jacobs Faridah Leather Bag is a great option. Marc Jacobs has had Miss Marc grace the front of his Faridah bag before, but this grained grass leather version is easier to wear. Now easier to wear is relative, because the bright pop of green will surely stand out. The bag has a great slouch to the hobo shape, with gold hardware and a shoulder strap. The inside is lined with monogrammed cotton lining. This is a bag deal, as it costs less than $500. Is this the right pop of color for you? Buy through Net A Porter for $438.

Alice + Olivia Suede Hobo - 2012

As soon as I went to ShopBop today in search of bags about which to write, I saw the one in the photo over there and thought,Louis Vuitton Replica Handbags, "What a great coup for ShopBop, they're carrying Maison Martin Margiela now!"

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I submit Exhibit A and Exhibit B. The bags are photographed differently - the Alice + Olivia one looks like it's being suspended by a hook that has been removed from the photo while the MMG version is resting partially on a flat surface, but it looks like their structures are nearly identical, down to the wrapped handle at the top. I know that designers borrow inspiration from each other all the time,Louis Vuitton Sale, and I don't think most people (or most brands) have much of a problem with that, but these two bags are too close for comfort to me. Buy through ShopBop for $596.

Except they're not, which is too bad. They are, however, carrying the Alice + Olivia Suede Hobo,louis vuitton shoes, which appears to be a more or less complete ripoff of the Maison Martin Margiela X-Shaped Hobo. I'm not one to call anyone out for merely a glancing resemblance, so check the proof after the jump.

Bird Handbags Lady - 2012

Other fans of Bird Handbags are Kate Hudson (who has the exact same bag and color as me!) and Courtney Cox.

I will tell you a secret; to go on vacation and not go online is a real and true vacation. Don't fool yourself with that laptop that you check only a few times, it takes you over and puts your mind back on work and all things ‘real'. Vlad and I, of course, had both of our lap tops in Key West but we ran into two glorious problems: our hotel did not have internet and Starbucks internet was so slow we could not log on. This meant deciding that the work could wait and we would truly vacation. I didn't even sneak my iPhone to check the internet (ok, maybe once or twice). So what if I came back to over 400 emails? The vacation was a relaxing time with my family, as we all celebrated my grandmother's 82nd birthday. Now that we are back from island time and back to civilization, with high speed internet streaming throughout the house, I am feeling a tad overwhelmed and behind. But for some reason, it does not bother me.

Courtney Cox Bird Handbags LadyWin a Bird Ostrich Lil LadyBird Handbags Mrs. Ostrich ClutchBird Handbags One Night Stand Clutch

What I did learn over vacation was the ideal beach weather, walking around, summer bag. I have spoken about Bird Handbags before, we have even done a giveaway with the bag (which was a huge hit!). The bag from the line that truly called out to me was the Bird Handbags Ostrich Lil Lady, in cognac, which I now own. When I saw the bag in pictures I was enamored. The shape spoke directly to me and my style. The design is simple. The ostrich was the perfect touch to make the bag stand out. When I got the bag there were a few things that I did not love though; only recently did I come to love. The shape of the bag is precisely as it looks on the website and in pictures.

The shoulder straps are long and light-weight, and the shape of the body is like a bucket at the bottom. What I did realize is that the bag when it stands alone can bunch up into the size of a clutch. The ostrich is thin and lightweight, the silk lining is thin also, which makes the bag loose shape. But the perk of this is that the bag is ultra light. You can pack your wallet, phone, lipsticks, and other miscellaneous goods and your shoulder will not ache after a 5 hour walk. When you place the bag on your arm it fits perfectly over your shoulder and allows easy access when reaching down. What I love is the design. This is why I fell in love with the bag. It is this genius, why didn't I think of that, idea. I took my Bird Handbags Lady with me to Key West and it did not leave my side. Many of the locals and the tourists told me they loved it! Now comes the only other problem; the price.

I am a handbag addict, so justifying price is my forte, but the Lady in Ostrich is $1955 while the Ostrich Lil Lady is $1610. Do remember that you are getting ostrich, but I do think some may have a hard time justifying the price. There is the option of snakeskin and lambskin if you do not want to take the ostrich plunge, which do alleviate some of the price pressure. So would I recommend the bag,Chanel Discount Outlet, yes. But it all depends on your perspective and what you want with the money you give. To me, the weight, shape, and skin speak to my style and work perfectly with much of what I wear.

Photos via Women's Wear Daily

It would be easy for a brand in flux to get a little bit lazy with its accessories for a resort collection while new creative talent got comfortable and plotted a new course for upcoming collections, but Chloe Resort 20 doesn't strike me as lazy at all.When creative director Hannah MacGibbon was shown the door after a disappointing collection for Fall 2011, I assumed that the earliest improvements would probably be seen on the Spring 20 runway.Perhaps that's not the case.

Chloe's resort bags aren't revolutionary, but the have a cleanness and confidence that the brand's previous several accessories collections have lacked.And while there's a Paddington reboot in the mix,Air jordans shoes for sale, a habit of the brand that tends to irk me, the bright pink and minimal Paddington markings mean that, at the very least, it actually feels like a genuine reboot instead of a cynical cash grab.I'm suddenly feeling a lot more excited about Chloe's upcoming spring show.More photos after the jump.

Prada Sport Fur Pocket Bag - 2012

When you think about Prada, you probably usually don't think about it being sport wear. I never did until the first day I walked into my new private school when I was little and saw the kid's gym shoes were Prada shoes. I had my trusty little Nikes and was a bit confused at what I had been missing out on. Also I never realized Jansport backpacks were also not the norm - try Prada and LV messenger bags. As you can imagine, I felt a bit left out at that time. But now since I am much older and have learned about fashion, I chose not to feel left out anymore. I truly believe the Prada Sport Fur Pocket Bag would make me fit in perfectly fine wherever I may go.

As soon as I spotted this trendy little number from the Prada Sport line I fell in love. I know I may still be a kid at heart, but the Eskimo pattern is just so cute,Louis Vuitton Official Website! Made of orange nylon, silver mesh, and faux fur (with the Eskimo pattern), the bag is simply chic. There are removable gray web shoulder straps with seat-belt buckles which add a unique and fun touch to the bag. And of course, like the name says, there are side zip pockets. Where I am a bit baffled is the price. Yes, you are Prada, but give me a break! Those materials are nothing that you could not find at the local craft store but with the name Prada you can't expect this bag to be anything other than $650 (through Neiman Marcus).

The Best High School Graduation Gifts for the Cla56 of 2012 - 2012.

The Best High School Graduation Gifts for the Class of 2012 - 2012.

Last week, we rounded up the best accessory gifts for all the recent college grads in your life.In the comments, one of you asked us to make some suggestions for high school grads, and because we like to consider ourselves a full-service blogging operation here, we felt compelled to oblige.Almost any huge life change - graduation, moving to a new city, having a baby - impacts the way a woman interacts with the things that she carries every day, and I like to think that the best way to ready someone for a change like that is to get her the sartorial equipment she needs in order to settle in to her new life.

Thus, we present you with our picks for the best high school grad gifts.Leaving home for the first time is nerve-racking enough, but there are some things you can do to make sure your grad is prepared to take on college and hit the ground running.Not to mention, if you get her a nice overnight bag, maybe she'll come home more often.(That's a pretty good theory, I think.Write that one down.) Best of all, all of our picks are under $600.

Hear me out on the Marc Jacobs Quilted Key Pouch, because I can't recommend it heartily enough.Entrance to almost all modern college dorms is done either by showing your school ID to a desk clerk or swiping it through a card reader, not to mention that school IDs are usually what gain you entrance to dining halls and school sporting events.At my school (UGA, Go Dawgs), you couldn't even buy textbooks off campus without presenting that holiest of holy cards.

That means it's important to have your ID handy at all times,chanel for sale, lest you essentially lock yourself out of your own life without even losing your keys; attaching one of these pouches to your key ring keeps it with you.I've used one of these Marc Jacobs cardholders since my freshman year in college, and eight years later (yeesh), I still have the exact same one on my key ring.I had a cardholder from a different brand prior to getting this one, but it only lasted a few months because the zipper came loose and would slide open in my purse; this one locks in place, which is a much safer setup to hold ID cards.Buy through Barneys for $175.

We've got some school bags to make your return to class less disappointingHead back to school with the best school bags under $700The Best Accessory Gifts for Recent GradsReal Housewives of New York City:"You are a mean girl and you are in high school! And I am in Brooklyn! ".Related articles:

Man Bag Monday The Ben Minkoff Dad Bag - 2012

We're all familiar with diaper bags; they're a staple of new motherhood and an omnipresent companion during the early part of a child's life.We've covered the difficulty of finding a stylish diaper bag in the past, but finally, companies are starting to get it together and realize that moms want options that are made out of materials other than pink paisley nylon.Still, though, those designs are geared almost exclusively toward women and the style and functionality that we look for in a bag.What about dads? For them, there's the Ben Minkoff Dad Bag.

That this bag even exists says loads about not only the changes in modern men's fashion, but also in America's social climate as a whole.Even a generation ago, arming a dad with his very own diaper bag would have been an unsellable proposition; that was women's work.Now that urbane young men are taking an ever-increasing role in the rearing of their young children, it's about time they had a bag option for baby-maintenance all their own - and a stylish one at that.

It's no surprise that the men's offshoot of Rebecca Minkoff would keep up the brand's penchant for clever labeling.The interior of this bag includes easy pockets for snacks,louis vuitton handbags outlet, diapers and wipes, as well as a dedicated pocket for "dad stuff" that closes with a zipper, presumably to prevent dad's iPhone and wallet from becoming Cheerio-encrusted in short order.The bag also comes with a changing mat that's also helpfully labeled, this time so dad known the direction in which he should point the baby.It's the perfect, easily-organized option for a new dad who wants to take his baby out all on his own, with no wifely supervision.

Perhaps the best part of this whole design, though, is that just like the best diaper bag designs for women, the bag's exterior design doesn't betray its contents.From the outside, this is a stylish, neutral man bag that a dude could use well after his tot graduates from potty training.Buy through Bloomingdale's for $325.

Botkier Trigger Moto Clutch - 2012

Before we start, I'll go ahead and reveal my bias: I'm a big fan of the Botkier Trigger bag. I have a yellow one from Spring/Summer that I use quite a bit, and I never stop getting compliments on it from random strangers. I remember when the original iterations came out (and I still wish that I had scooped one up in this gorgeous oxblood shade that they once came in).

It looks as though our friends at Botkier have moved on from the tote version of the Trigger,Chaneldiscountoutlet.com, but they're still making the Botkier Trigger Moto Clutch for all of us to enjoy.

This bag has all the style and charm of the original Trigger in a smaller, wearer-friendly shape. It takes on the current tiny bag trend while still giving a nod to the styles of the It Bag-crazy mid-2000s, creating a then-and-now symbiosis that I find utterly irresistible. It's an old favorite reinvented for a soon-to-be brand new decade. Buy through ShopBop for $295.
