Simply put, Gwen Stefani is the best model for her own line. With its rockabilly attitude and fashion-forward spunk, the singer not only lends credibility when she totes her own designs, but she makes them even more desirable than they already are. Case in point: this L.A.M.B. black leather hobo from the fall collection. I've always been a bit skeptical of celebrities-turned-designers, but Stefani continues to impress season after season. She treats fashion as an extension of her--and not as a job. It's a subtle, but important, point of distinction that most of her A-list peers fail at. But I digress. What I like about this bag is that it's roomy, stylish and chock full of great design details. It easily looks like a bag three or four times its price. The inside is fashioned in black nylon and features two pouch pockets and a zipper pocket--utilitarian all the way. I think the zipper detail is chic, as is the texture of the bag. Best of all, it's just a great everyday bag for when you need style on the go. STAT.

Ooooh, a new bag from Valextra. And I can can share this one with my husband (or not). The messenger may look specific for work but nobody needs to know you have your laptop in there. Loosen the adjustable strap and wear it long and low across your hip for the current fashiony cross body look. With Valextra the detail is in the non-detail, every facet of the bag is shear perfection as if it is sculpted from ice. Sometimes, I just stare at my Valextra in awe of its beauty. At Barneys New York for $2720.

I liked the bigger shoulder version from a few seasons ago but I am in LOVE with this smaller size with the zipper trimmed flap. Is this not the ultimate city bag? Way chic and totally hip, you will live in this bag. It is the perfect size and hangs right below your hips, where you want your cross body to fall. The hardware detail on the adjustable strap is icing on the cake, making the messenger a bit more fashion-y than just purely pragmatic. I can totally see Karan running through airports with this on (with gladiator flat sandals, of course). This is exactly the kind of stuff her empire was founded on, fashion that fit in your life rather than the other way around. A MUST MUST HAVE especially for the mom snobs out there. At Bergdorf Goodman $795.

Yes, this is a wallet! But it has all the detailing of a clutch so not only does it make a more polished wallet, you can actually use it as a clutch. It is on the small size for clutches these days but on a quiet night out, your life can be made simple and chic by just taking this out. There is quite a bit of girth to it so your phone can definitely fit. I normally hate giant plaques but the hardware here is a nice finish. I just wish it was real lizard which holds up really great as a wallet but for the price, I'll take the faux. At Net-a-Porter for $495.

The Veneta is one of my favorite bags to use. It sits so well on the shoulder, the medium fits just the right amount of stuff and somehow everything seems to be on top when you need it. But I do admit it is on the boring side, that's why I have it in purple to give it some pop. I known the chocolate brown is the most classic but how classic must you go? You know what they say about too much of a good thing and when it comes to being timeless and "classic" too much just means too boring. That's why I love this straw effects version with varying (visual) texture and tones. You also get the main advantage of the classic brown, versatility. Wear this all season long no matter what you have on. Put it away for the fall and winter though, but you will have an everlasting summer bag that I promise you will always be in love with. At Barneys New York for $2250.

I am drawn to the chain-link strap, I called the trend last season and now it is everywhere. R & Y Augousti uses the current look very well on this simple tote, contrasting it with the metallic gold, which is always huge for Fall. There are few details on this bag and each is done to perfection - the center seam, the corner embellishments and of course, the contrasting chain strap. Chain link might seem uncomfortable on the shoulder but because the links bend and mold to you, it is actually not an issue at all. This flat shape holds quite a bit and it has plenty of interior pockets. I just wish this was closer to their usual lower price point, $800 would be an instant hit but at $1025, it is a harder sell. At Barneys New York.

So Bag Snobs, what do we think? Do we love or hate this new fall Hermès bag? It's called the Toolbox and it's quite obvious why: at 20 centimeters, it's not wide enough to be a doctor's bag, and I'm sure someone somewhere in Paris frowned at the idea of calling it a Happy Meal (Hermès calls it a "real treasure chest"). So voila! Toolbox it is! Though there are definitely no masculine qualities to this bag (naysayers may point out the "extra" hardware), it's certainly utilitarian with its double handles, long shoulder strap and roomy interior.

Crafted from what Hermès calls "Swift" calfskin, I think it's an awkward shape and will only attract that eccentric Hermès client. I do like the classic Hermès closure coupled with the iconic lock-and-key; I don't like the metal rings connecting the leather straps to their base. It makes it look cheap. But for those who want their Toolbox, it'll be available in two sizes and in three fabrications: Swift calfskin, Evergrain calfskin or ultra-soft Niloticus crocodile. The 25cm mini Kelly is priced similarly and, in my opinion, a better option (you're also guaranteed the bag, once vintage, will increase in value).

About $6,000 to $7,000, available at Hermès boutiques (800-441-4488)

Most of you didn't approve of my recent Fendi wallet purchase (what can I say, I still love the kitschy cuteness!), but what do you think of the Fendi Firenze that Clemence Poesy was photographed in? It's a completely different side of Fendi. It comes in a few color variations, but I love the light blue ($1,845) best. The stitching is great and the interior is conveniently designed. If you don't know Clemence Poesy, she's a French actress and model who will be in upcoming episodes of Gossip Girl - god I can't wait for the next season to start on September 13! The stars of the show were photographed filming throughout Paris Haute Couture Week and it appears that Posey will somehow be involved with the Chuck Bass character. From the looks of it, we have a lot of fabulous fashions to expect from Poesy's character!

Shearling bags are pointless to me, why do we need all that poof and bulk that serves no purpose? But I do like this Marni tote, why couldn't they make it reversible with a different leather color inside? Like, nude and hot pink! Now, that would be amazing!! Seriously, what were they thinking?? I know I can just use it on the leather side but that shearling would bother me every time I went in the bag for stuff. I am in pain just thinking of the sting when touching shearling in this 100 degree heat now. At Net-a-Porter for $1185.
