Top 5 Tough-Girl Bags: (Back)Pack a Mean Punch
A few years ago, the average snob would have turned her nose up at even the mention of the word “backpack.” Now images of boys sporting North Face backpacks have been fully extinguished from our minds. But, ironically, the best backpacks of the moment are tougher than anything a hulking guy would wear. There’s nothing [...]
Marc by Marc Jacobs Snakes On a Frame
This bag from Marc by Marc Jacobs is so bizarre. At first I thought it was a case for sunglasses and was about to move on with my day until I clicked on it and realized it’s 10″x5″ and meant to be worn as a bag (cross body no less). Um, why? Apparently someone is [...]
Happy Earth Day: It’s Not Easy Being a Green Snob
That’s why I’m here to help you convert, just in time for Earth Day! Sustainable, environment-friendly bags aren’t just for the granola-munching, Birkenstock-wearing set anymore (isn’t that such a nineties image?!). These days, everyone, including the most style-conscious snobs, is considering how to embrace their inner eco-warrior because well, how can we live with ourselves [...]
Frugal Snob: Marc by Marc Jacobs Bianca Jane, A Disco Darling Fit for a Dancing Queen
Ladylike proportions and sleek style is usual left to Jacobs’ big sister brand, so this shockingly well-priced bag is an exciting and appealing find. The extra-long shoulder strap and bright gold chain links imbue 1970s disco flare. I can see this bag dangling from the shoulder of eternally chic party princess Bianca Jagger in her [...]
Marc By Marc Jacobs Natasha Leather Bag: Why yes, I’d love one, thanks!
There’s something about soft, sage green that gets me every time. It’s a subtle but pretty color, and really pops when worn right. The Marc by Marc Jacobs’ classic leather Natasha bag is a great choice for casual wear or for a vacation option when you need something light and easy to throw on and [...]
Marc by Marc Jacobs Save The Birds Lenny Day Bag
The Marc by MJ line is becoming like Miu Miu, better than the main line. The origami look is becoming the big thing, for everything especially clothes, but this bag is the perfect interpretation of the trend. You get that mutli-layered folded look but it isn’t overly complicated (unlike the AllSaints dress I tried to [...]
Marc by Marc Jacobs He’s Not Dead, He’s Just Breakdancing Winnie Bag
Sorry for my ignorance when it comes to breakdancing moves but from what I do know, breakdancing does not simulate playing dead. Right? The other baffling fact is that this bag does not look like it has anything to do with the breakdancing culture. I’m loving the simple square bowler shape with texture leather and [...]
Marc by Marc Jacobs Saddlery Sophie Convertible Satchel
It’s not as if Marc by Marc Jacobs is not worth mentioning. It’s just that its bags lack imagination and always feel like an afterthought. Take this saddlery bag for example, it’s not bad for the price, is in sync with the current trend of military messenger styles (especially the ever so popular PS1 bag [...]

My picks are intended to cover the spectrum from super particular high maintenance mom to practical and modest mom with prices that fit every budget. Of [...]
