Milli Millu Spring/Summer 2012 Collection: City Slickers
Milli Millu’s new collection takes us on a continent-sprawling cosmopolitan tour, and the standouts on their fast-paced adventure? Surprisingly, it’s the understated cities of Vancouver and Copenhagen. You cannot deny the convenience and ease of a small shoulder bag, especially one you can wear cross-body, but do they have to be so boring? The Vancouver [...]
A Bright Forecast: All the Colors of the Rainbow!
Get ready to give the old-fashioned color wheel a big spin. Rainbow brights make up Spring’s new color palette, and I could not be more excited – I love color! And this is just the beginning. We will be seeing many more thrilling hues, including neon, throughout the season, but let’s kick things off with [...]
Top 5 Offbeat Prints: It’s Time to Work the Quirk
It’s not always all about animal prints! Printed bags are great when you’re eager to get playful with your look, and the latest releases prove that designers can get as frisky as the best of us. And sometimes even a little too sportive for some. Here, the top picks of the latest prints that march [...]
Prada’s New Tweeds: Read the Fine Print
My trip to Italy revived my appreciation for Prada. But, seriously, this new tweed-print collection is really good (even if Kara Ross kind of did the same thing two seasons ago and McQueen did it last season). Regardless, Prada’s gotten their groove back for spring, and I’m liking the details they’ve brought to the table. [...]
Dolce & Gabbana Dolce Straw Handbag: Get a Handle On It
Oooh, python set against straw makes for a fab contrast! It’s pure. It’s natural. It’s glamorous. But, being the decadents they are, Dolce & Gabbana couldn’t keep themselves from adding a gold chain. The flashy touch musses it up especially with the gold lock – this would pack a bigger impact without an extra fussiness. [...]
V73 Canvas Printed Tote: It’s Like Déjà vu All Over Again
I’ll look for any excuse to quote “Clueless,” so to paraphrase Cher: V73, this tote is just a lawsuit waiting to happen! I’m all for cheeky pop art when it’s in the right context. And let’s be realistic, few brands can resist doing a little Hermès play every now and again, but this feels unoriginal [...]
January Giveaway: The Dax Tote by DAX GABLER!
I was incredibly sad when I’d learned Devi Kroell had left her namesake brand, Devi Kroell, Inc, in 2010. But in record time, she regrouped and is now back with a vengeance! Meet DAX GABLER, Kroell’s addictive new collection of must-have bags. The Dax tote has the kind of versatility I love: metallic platinum python [...]
Top 5 New Bags of the Year: 2011 Really Took Shape
2011 may be old news, but the fresh bag silhouettes to come out of it are anything but. Out of some of the most prominent fashion houses, new shapes came to the forefront, proving that what makes an “It” bag is not flash and logo-driven panache but innovation of shape and mood. Here, the top [...]
Ralph Lauren Stitched Leather Tote
A very Ralph Lauren look that can leave the ranch and hang in the city. The whip stitching with the loose ends hanging off is very horse and saddle looking but the slouchy hobo shape with the very handy outer pouch is just the casual and slightly boho chic bag LA girls and New York [...]
Salvatore Ferragamo Bonaria Pebbled Tote: A Brand New You
Ferragamo is good for a lot of thing but you don’t really think of them when you’re looking for something cute. Especially bags! Yes, I give the brand a hard time about their “maturity” level, as in way too much, so I am pleasantly surprised by this girlie and way adorable classicly shaped tote. The [...]
