Above Madonna is pictured sporting Dolce & Gabbana's S/S 2010 Miss Sicily bag. The Sicily has been very popular with stars recently with everyone from Eva Mendes to Peaches Geldof sporting the F/W 2009 version pictured on the right. The current version of the Miss Sicily retails for $1,895. It's a bit too conservative for my taste and I'm not a fan of the shine or the logo plaque (though without the plaque the bag would be a total snooze). I do like the hardware by the handle/top of the bag and the handle itself is well-made. Over-all though I'm not quite understanding why the Miss Sicily has become so popular with celebs.

What do you think of the Miss Sicily? Snob or Slob?

Really? Was this necessary? Do we need yet another incarnation of the formerly iconic but now over done, over exposed Arena bag??? A bag designer (who shall remain nameless) marveled at Balenciaga's ability to cash in on a single bag silhouette for almost a decade and expressed a desire to create something that has the same shelf life. From a business standpoint that is the ideal of course, make one bag over and over and over again!? Why not!? But at some point you have to ask your self, am I a designer? Or a factory? Yes, I agree that the Arena was the ultimate cool bag in its day (having 2 of them myself) but seriously, if you are running out of ideas-- it is time to move on. This patchwork version lacks imagination, style and any sense for that matter. Chanel did this with the classic flap bag once and it didn't bode well for them, either. I'm not saying I hate the Arena bag, I'm just saying I hate this one. I know, such a strong word and I discourage my son from using it but right now it's the only way I can express how I feel about this hideous bag. Look closely, the patches are of every color of Arena ever made so I guess I should give them points for recycling scrap leather. At Barneys $2,345.

I have been taking a much closer look at Versace because they are sponsoring the Hollywood Bag Ladies' Luncheon that I am on the committee of (imagine 600 women fighting for 300 luxury bags at the biggest silent auction ever!). While at the Rodeo Drive boutique, I became mesmerized by this Socialite shoulder bag. It is exactly what you want from Versace, edgy and flashy and completely different from anything else out there. The "bow" is Donatella's own interpretation of a bow and is nothing short of genius (and I don't say that about her very often!). The blue and purple are sold out everywhere but Beverly Hills has one dark gray left for $2895. Call Versace Beverly Hills (310) 205-3921.

Totally surprised that this elegant clutch is from Temperley.  The sleek art deco influenced silhouette is a huge departure from her usual fussiness.  At first I thought the golden arches were metal but upon closer inspection, it's actually strategically placed beads and sequins on black satin.  I am off to meet my cabinet maker to discuss my new bag closet right now, we are dedicating an entire wall to display my clutches.  Would love to add this to my collection but I don't think Temperley warrants a four figure beaded clutch, that's what I'm willing to pay for a well made exotic clutch but a beaded satin clutch that could fall apart in a few years?  Beautiful it may be, I'll have to pass.  Temperley London Ophelia Evening Clutch $1350  What about you?  Do you think it's worth it?

This is a rather odd and stiff shape for Lanvin.  I don't mind boxy bags but this one is almost too boxy, to the point that I'm uncomfortable looking at it.  I do like the bar hardware detail, I guess Alber Elbaz is taking a new mod direction away from his pearls, lace and chains.  Those who prefer sleek lines should take a liking to the bag but it's really expensive at $1,995!  And it's lined in fabric!  I don't know, not feeling Lanvin bags of late.  Lanvin Novo Leather MM Shoulder Bag here. 

What about you?  Feel it, or not?

Oy! I'm totally not feeling the Linea Pelle Lola Large Tote ($595), that Megan Fox has been photographed in. Sure there's nothing outright awful about it, but the hardware looks so cheap and it's just so blatantly unimaginative. Why spend $595 on bag that has barely a hint of design to it?

What do you think about Megan Fox's Linea Pelle? Snob or Slob?

We love a great cause and how great is Louis Vuitton donating 10% of ONLINE sales of select bags this month to The Red Cross??? Louis Vuitton has chosen four iconic monogram canvas designs to feature online and donate the sales of. The Keepall was originally created as a back-up bag included in the Louis Vuitton trunk and quickly became the ultimate weekend tote. The Speedy was created in 1930 but became famous when it was redesigned specifically for Audrey Hepburn in the 1960s. The Noe was invented by Gaston Louis Vuitton to perfectly hold five champagne bottles. The Alma was originally inspired by the Art Deco movement and has become a recognizable symbol of Louis Vuitton.  If you have been thinking of purchasing one of these timeless styles, this month is the time to do it!  Go here to shop!

I'm attending the opening of Louis Vuitton boutique at North Park this evening with the CEO of LVMH North America, Daniel Lalonde. What will I be carrying you ask? Why this lovely Minaudiere Tresor Crocodile below ($5,450) in the most spectacular shade of blue/green. Call the boutique 214-361-8566 to purchase the clutch but make sure you purchase the above bags online so 10% will be donated to The Red Cross!
