- Moschino Cheap & Chic Borsa Tracolla Shoulder Bag | Black Leather Rocker Hobo With Floppy Bow Details - 2009-05-18 17:48:33-04
I've always felt a little resentful about Moschino's Cheap & Chic moniker. I mean, it's usually chic, but rarely cheap. It might be less expensive than their usual fare, but it's still a high end designer line with high end designer prices. But, despite my resistance to their somewhat ironic title, I really like the cool [...]

- Botkier Gladiator Small Frame Wallet | Black Leather Pocketbook with Studs - 2009-05-18 21:58:07-04
Wallets don't always get enough credit in a wardrobe. Bad pun aside, it's true that every woman needs a decent pocketbook to store cash, cards, and other small but important items.
Although I wouldn't typically think about purchasing a wallet that costs more than all the cash I'd have in it, this Botkier Gladiator is probably [...]
- Beyoncé Stays Practical about Spending Money on Overpriced Designer Handbags - 2009-05-19 00:06:50-04
It seems almost contradictory to report about the practical outlook that Beyoncé has on fashion when she's constantly seen toting some of the most expensive luxury handbags.
However, unlike the Birkin-obsessed Victoria Beckham's of the world, this soulful singer/sometimes actress claims to have a limit when it comes to spending money on fashion. Beyoncé recently described her non-diva, laid-back [...]

Treesje has dressed up the traditional hobo with the Sebastian, a purse which combines sophisticated pleats and stitching for an ultra-chic look.

Picking up where the Donna left off, Alexander Wang is channeling the 80s again with the Brenda.

- Foley + Corinna Classic City Clutch | A Tie-Dye Take On The F+C Modern Classic - 2009-05-19 18:01:05-04
Like many of the Hollywood elite, I am in love with Foley + Corinna's quirky shapes and styles. I don't review them that often, because, honestly, they all look pretty much alike, except for color. That is until this baby came around. It's a whole new take on what has become a modern classic.
The classic [...]
- Be & D Tuilleries Clutch | Ruffled Purse with Snakeskin Italian Leather - 2009-05-19 22:24:19-04

The Tuilleries, the latest addition in a world full of clutches, continues the ruffles theme with a more demure feel.
Ruffles or layers [...]

- Nine West Macee Hobo | Medium Handbag with Tassel and Studs - 2009-05-20 16:38:28-04
There's nothing particularly unique about the Macee Hobo. It's not as if Nine West's version of the hobo handbag is very different than other contemporary takes on the style.
Unoriginality aside, however, the Medium Macee is not a bad choice for an everyday bag with some nice details and a decently sized interior. The cinched top is [...]
- Juicy Couture Baby Fluffy Bag | Hot Pink Terrycloth Confectionary Handbag - 2009-05-20 19:38:42-04
Ugh, this is exactly why I hate Juicy Couture. Pardon me if this bag is up your alley, but I can think of so many better ways to spend $190 that I can't imagine why anyone would spend it on this.
First of all, this bag is made of terrycloth, which, as far as I'm concerned [...]

Like so many luxury labels, Burberry has felt the sting of the economic crisis, posting a £6 million loss for the last financial year. The loss stemmed from the cost of writing down the value of its Spanish stores, and charges for staff layoffs.
