Bottega Veneta San Marco Hobo
I know this just looks like a whatever bag in this picture but when you touch and feel it, you will totally melt! It is seriously the SOFTEST leather you will ever glean across your hand. I seriously doubt my baby’s bottom is softer than this, not kidding. It is so ultra light, too!!! Also, [...]
Wang’s World: Handbags
Guest Blog by Jackie Bolin When a fashion designer moves into handbags it can go either way; but much like everything he does, Alexander Wang’s foray into accessories is a smash hit. The San Francisco born, New York based kid wonder has debuted his first collection of bags for fall 2008 and the cool, functional [...]
Chanel Sueded Alligator 2.55
As Kelly said, I am in LA having loads of fun. We took a meeting yesterday at the Sunset Marquis (it was trés LA) and then headed to Neiman Marcus after (but of course). I was really good, I only bought make up because I splurged on the crocodile birkin and ricky wallet so I [...]
Marni “New Balloon” Purple Goatskin
Tina is in LA this week so of course we stopped at Neiman Marcus. I saw this purple Marni bag before she arrived and marveled at the new take on the balloon bag that I love so much. The size and wide opening is much easier to deal with and the contrasting acetate handle with [...]
Gerard Darel Redux: Gold Python
Read it and weep my darlings. Carrie Underwood strikes gold with the glittering gold version of my python bag.

My Net-a-Porter Sales Purchases
Bottega Veneta Foldover Pouchette $580, now $406; Marni Large Balloon $1620, now $1215 So far the Fall bags have either been too pricey or not yet available to me so I have to go back to sale shopping. I thought I was done with sales, usually extra money is reserved for June so that I [...]
Rain Coat for you Bags!
I know this is not the cutest thing but before you hoot and holler about how gross this looks, think about how beautiful your most precious bag is (Tina and your new croc birkin). And now think about torrential down pour on your bag. Yeah, that’s right. I have used things that look worse than [...]
Croc Fever! Hermes Crocodile Birkin and Ricky Crocodile Clutch/Wallet!
I apologize for waiting so long to share my new purchases, but I have been trying to regroup after my Europe trip and now preparing for my upcoming LA-Philadelphia-New York trips starting today so this just completely slipped my mind! So (drumroll….), my latest croc obsessions are items that I think all of you will [...]
