Since Phoebe Philo has taken over at Celine, their bags have improved significantly but they were still trying to hang on to traditional Celine. Well, hello! Look at this tote, I did a triple take when I saw the label!! It is nothing like the horse and carriage theme that I associate with them. This is so new and different (for them that is, this reminds me of Anya Hindmarch actually) - no monogram, no horse, and no catering to the middle age. The rest of the Spring collection still has their key monogram pieces but it is just good to see this reinvention. At Barneys in Beverly Hills for $1500, call 310.276.4400.

















Of all the rocker trends, I love zippers best. It's less in your face than giant studs yet still lends that rocker chick vibe without looking like a total drip fashion victim. Even the tassel pulls don't bother me, I mean they actually serve a function here. I can't recall the last time Foley + Corinna came out with a new bag shape. They had that one hit wonder and ran with the silhouette for years. Nice to see they went back to the design board and came up with this, not that it's any brilliant bag but for the price, a nice trendy tote.
