Bag Snob on NBC LX TV New York

This was so much fun to film. LX New York asked me to find the most luxurious and fabulous bags for this segment. The next segment will have frugal options (will be aired in a couple of weeks). LX New York is on daily at 5pm on NBC4– we’ve been tapped as the show’s bag [...]

DVF Stephanie Redux

We introduced you to the fabulous Stephanie bag from DVF back in January and much as I loved it I could not swing that size.  Good thing I waited because now it comes in medium in a rock star worthy black metallic!  You must see this in person, the woven leather is amazing and the [...]

Halle Berry in Bvlgari’s Dalya

Damn Halle Berry’s body is looking fierce! I can hardly believe the rumors that she might be preggers (though I’m constantly amazed at the pregnant women I see at the Sports Club LA — they’re often in better shape than I am!). Berry is pictured here toting Bvlgari’s Dalya bag and I’m loving the grab-it-and-go [...]

Jimmy Choo – Project PEP

Jimmy Choo launched their PEP Collection to benefit Project PEP with the Elton John AIDS Foundation. This project supports the funding of the Simelela Centre in South Africa and 25% of net sales from this limited edition collection will go directly to this effort. Jimmy Choo has a dedicated site “Jimmy Choo 72″ to host [...]

Lanvin Happy Quilted Clutch

It is true Lanvin has lost its luster but there are still a couple of bags that are worthy of my desire, like this Happy Quilted Clutch. Notice I used desire instead of “lust”, this just isn’t one of those bags that begs for my attention. But if you need a good clutch, this does [...]

Yves Saint Laurent Le Sixième printed stingray bag

Just when I thought designers have exhausted all ways of interpreting CHANEL’s classic chain shoulder bag, YSL surprises me with Le Sixième. I’m not usually into stamped exotics but I have a sample of YSL’s Roady hobo stamped stingray sitting in my room right now and I have to tell you, it’s incredible how real [...]

Designer Bags for Pets: Snob or Slob?

When I was younger I was obsessed with getting a dog. Every birthday, every good grade, every time I did anything remotely noteworthy I was convinced that I would be getting a dog (and a TV in my room for that matter…). Unfortunately growing up in Manhattan the only pets I ever had were some [...]

Snob Worthy Links September 29, 2009

Beauty Snob reminds you to look pretty with Shiseido, and donate to Breast Cancer. Couture Snob got hooked on Kate Moss for Top Shop. Fab Sugar got their hands on an exclusive trailer for MTV’s new fashion competition show, StyL’D. Tot Snob depends on the trusted advice of their good friend, Kimberly Schlegel Whitman. Recessionista [...]

Halston Henry Suede Clutch

Retro is definitely in. Halston is of course very 70′s so it’s not as in as the 80′s and 60′s these days but that could be a good thing. You will be above the fray, even though the return of 70′s seem to be more frequent than necessary. Aside from the decade trend war, this [...]

Judith Leiber Radiance Clutch

Could this be???  A Judith Leiber clutch that does not involve animals or cupcakes!?!?  Sure it’s still really blinged out but tastefully so.  The entire 7 inches of the clutch is covered in smoke colored radiant cut crystals that is reminiscent of art deco.  You must see this beauty in person, it is no mere [...]
