Tod’s D-Styling Bauletto

Before everyone drones on about how this is sooo boring, consider that it is a Tod’s and they are known for the subtle and classic appeal. OK, fine, it is boring. But an immaculately made bag that is timeless and full of function definitely has its merits. And for a lot of women, that what [...]

Halle Berry’s Thomas Wylde Santa Cruz: Snob or Slob?

Images from people.com Maybe if I was more into cowboy/rocker-chic I would like the Thomas Wylde Santa Cruz, but even gorgeous Halle Berry isn’t making it work for me. The fringe, the braided metal strap (seems like that would hurt your shoulder), the skulls on the side and then to boot crinkly leather — eeck! [...]

Snob Living in LA: Solair Wilshire

This has nothing to do with bags but I am on vacation and have to share my latest obsession. I toured the most gorgeous piece of real estate in Los Angeles today, the Solair Wilshire, a soaring glass tower above Wilshire Blvd in the heart of LA. Its zen interior calmed me the minute I [...]

DVF Marisa Draped Wrap Hobo

I always get the credit for looking good when wearing DVF. People don’t necessarily say, “Nice dress”, they say, “You look great”, which is a high compliment to DVF, she just makes you look like you have it all going on and the focus is really on you. I think that is her intention. And [...]

LC in Rebecca Minkoff

There are few bags at this price point that are as covetable as the Rebecca Minkoff Supernova Stud Devote Handbag ($695). I’ve been eyeing it for a few weeks now and can’t decide whether to get it in black or brown . It’s one of the few bags I’ve seen that uses studs without it [...]

Chloe Marlow Shopper

I am for sure digging on this bag in a big way. Although I don’t know if this alone will bring Chloe back from oblivion. It is still trying to be a Phoebe Philo design, this is the slouchier and softer (as in leather) Edith. Original it is not, it’s a patchwork of the Edith, [...]

Miranda Kerr’s Louis Vuitton: Snob or Slob?

I’m loving the Louis Vuitton African Queen bag from the LV Spring/Summer 2009 collection (updated version of the Monogram Limelight from the Fall/Winter 2007 collection). I have a feeling that the gold will make it “love it or hate it,” but I think the metallic color mixed with the colorful tassels gives it a playful, [...]

Alexander Wang Coco Duffle in Denim Leather

I can see now why everyone returned this bag. As promised, shopbop.com got the denim leather in. You can see in this lighter color how gross the leather is. And why the heck was it done in this acid washed denim color? Ewwww. And the silver studs washes out the edgy vibe, making it look [...]
