Frugal Snob: Kooba Rio Bag
If you can only buy one bag this season and would like to go basic with a black tote, this is a great stylish option. There is only so much one can do with a black tote and I have to applaud Kooba for making an interesting design without losing sight of functionality for the [...]
Valentino Vertical Pleated Tote: Snob or Slob?
The uber popular Maison pleated tote has a new little sister; one that is more subtle and feminine in its approach to pleats. The biggest trend we saw on the runways, both Spring and Fall 2009 was the creative use of origami folds. Valentino‘s interpretation is softened and modernized– with functional shoulder straps to boot. [...]
Burberry on ideeli
Not into the Burberry tartan on your bag? Either am I! This white satchel with the cute iconic belt is way better than your normal drawstring satchel, the simple quilting and pared down hardware makes this a classic you will keep for years to come. Perfect for all the summer trips you have planned and [...]

Chloe Shelby Tote
This Shelby is a close sibling to the Edith from 3 years ago (wow, has it been that long?) but it did not make me jump up the way the Edith did when I first saw it. The Edith had a school girl charm that I loved and this is really briefcase-y. The blue is [...]
Nancy Gonzalez Python and Croc Grommet Bag
Whew! I am still catching up from Fashion Week and then coming home to another whole host of more events. I am finally settling down to cover all the bag showrooms we visited while in New York. We were able to preview the Fall 2009 Nancy Gonzalez collection and although we were told to hold [...]
Frugal Snob- 7 For All Mankind Metal Link Large Tote
Urban street style bags rule today. I am really into this tote from, gulp, 7 For All Mankind. I remember when they launched the bag line a couple of years back but I didn’t pay much attention– I mean I was over my 7 jeans why would I want 7 bags? Guess again. This is [...]
Alexander Wang Coco Duffel Update
The “Coco” duffel from Alexander Wang generated much buzz before it’s runway debut (thanks to Mary Kate Olsen who was seen totin’ the bag around town weeks before fashion week!) and we now eagerly await it’s arrival at stores in July. I’m just concerned that knock offs and copy cats will abound before the actual [...]
Chanel Spring/Summer 2009 Act II
Karl Lagerfeld shot the latest catalog for the House of Chanel starring Jerry Hall and a much much younger guy. I’m all for the younger man/older woman thing but the male model they chose looks almost underage but hey– not judging! The Chanel Upside down bag ($2,675) in patent white leather is fun and sure [...]
Mulberry Fall 2009
We love attending presentations, especially presentations with bubbly! Mulberry presented hands down the most chic presentation of Fashion Week. They took over the Library at the SoHo house and transformed it into Snow White’s dark forest, complete with apples and sequined bugs! There were half a dozen velvet chairs and love seats around the room [...]
