Game, set, match! Cole Haan has a winner with their stylish yet sporty Dylan Tennis Tote.
The preppy khaki and orange color combination is perfect for the game of tennis, beloved of WASPs and country clubbers everywhere. Just ask Tory Burch.
This colorful bag allows players to take a step away from "tennis whites" and express some [...]
- Vera Bradley Sherry Tote | Cute Quilted Patterned Handbag - 2009-06-29 15:41:24-04
Vera Bradley brings her famous pretty and floral patterns to a different handbag shape.
In a useful and retro hold-all shopper design, this cute and attractive handbag is full of function. It even has inside slip pockets and a removable base - perfect for adding that little extra space. Whilst not the biggest tote in the [...]
- Jessica Simpson Mint Satchel | Camel-Colored Synthetic Crocodile Handbag - 2009-06-29 21:35:40-04
Many of us can't afford a real crocodile leather handbag since exotics are going for quite a high price these days. Hermes might be farming their own crocs now to cut down on their in-house costs, but that doesn't mean that the retail prices we see will go down one bit.
That's why tons of brands are [...]
- Maxx New York Monsoon Satchel | Ivory Leather Handbag with Whipstitching - 2009-06-29 23:27:34-04
I'll be the first to admit that I couldn't help but think of baseball paraphernalia when I saw this satchel. Something about the curved whipstitching detail automatically reminded me of the sport.
Baseball association aside, though it might be a bit hard to forget, the overall look of the Maxx New York Monsoon handbag is interesting [...]
- Bergdorf Goodman Combines Fashion and Art in New Window Display | Store Teams with American Visionary Art Museum - 2009-06-30 00:45:46-04
Forget the Museum of Modern Art or even the Guggenheim. Those are passé to Bergdorf Goodman nowadays.
The new kid on the block, or rather the newest addition to a long history of fantastic window displays, is the American Visionary Art Museum. The Manhattan museum aims to showcase works of "art produced by self-taught individuals, usually without [...]
- VBH Pony Purse | Limited Edition White Designer Handbag - 2009-06-30 02:05:37-04
Its limited edition status and designer label make this VBH Pony Purse quite covetable, but why then does the design fall flat?
But first, the good points. The pony hair is delicious, with the white tone ideal for setting off a cute summer ensemble. The off-white alligator handle is a particularly luxurious touch, sure to please [...]
- Anja Rubik Stars in Gucci Advertisement for New Jackie Handbag - 2009-06-30 03:05:56-04
Gucci has got it right with its latest advertising campaign for their Jackie collection. The fashion house has abandoned exotic locales and color, preferring instead to keep it simple.
Polish beauty Anja Rubik stars in this basic black shoot captured by the legendary photographic duo Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin. But the main focus is [...]
- Gustto Estola Shoulder Bag | Versatile Glazed Leather Handbag - 2009-06-30 04:05:22-04
Girls on the go are sure to appreciate the Estola shoulder bag by Gustto. The secret is the styling, which is contemporary and timeless all at once.
It's free from bells and whistles, so it never looks overworked no matter what the occasion. Yet that's not to suggest that there's no style. Rather than jazzing the [...]
- Jimmy Choo Rio Clutch | Slouchy Leather Buckled Purse - 2009-06-30 13:09:04-04
If you can design shoes, then you really ought to understand how to design handbags. With the amazing shoes that Jimmy Choo releases into the world, it is no surprise just how lovely his bags can be.
This slouchy black bag is a particularly special example. The slouchy ultra-soft leather almost gives the clutch an air of casual creation [...]
- Yves Saint Laurent Muse Two Tote | Classic and Natural Pebbled Leather Satchel - 2009-06-30 20:49:38-04
The Muse Two tote is not, by any means, something new to the world of fashion. This handbag line, which has been available to us for several seasons already, was preceded by the ever-so-popular Muse collection. Both lines have many celebrity followings, but I think that the Muse Two deserves as much of the spotlight as its [...]
- Roxy Miss Liz Large Tote | Fun Graphic Summer Handbag - 2009-06-30 22:24:37-04
Though they're not a particularly versatile addition to a wardrobe, canvas totes can be a fantastic way to play around with color and prints during the summer season.
Something like this light green Miss Liz handbag will add some fun and whimsy to a casual outfit. The graphic prints are separated into two halves on the [...]
- Designer Betsey Johnson Wants to Retire | Plans to Move Forward with Plan Following September Show - 2009-06-30 23:09:10-04
Betsey Johnson is ready to move on to a new stage in her career, particularly the stage where she can ditch the commute and wake up with no plans for the day.
The edgy, whimsical designer has plans to pass the creative direction of her label to another set of capable hands by the end of [...]
- 7 For All Mankind Havana Hobo | Large Pleated Leather Shoulder Bag - 2009-07-01 01:01:07-04
7 For All Mankind is known for its designer denim, and even for helping put "premium denim" on the map back when everyone bought their jeans at The Gap and Express. They've been doing accessories for a few seasons now, and it seems like they're definitely going the way they went with denim, gaining popularity [...]
- Inge Christopher Crystal Wallpaper Purse | Beaded Evening East West Clutch - 2009-07-01 02:05:25-04
Inge Christopher is renowned for creating evening purses that put femininity first. The Crystal Wallpaper is no exception, so if you're not a girly girl you might want to give this one a miss.
That's not to suggest that this is another frou-frou feminine purse covered in sequins and lace. In fact, nothing could be further [...]
- Miley Cyrus and Max Azria Collaborate for Walmart Fashion Collection | Hannah Montana Does Handbags - 2009-07-01 03:05:39-04
Miley Cyrus has proven herself as a television star, silver screen actress, and world class singer. Is there anything this pint-sized poppet can't do? Well we're about to see, with news Miley's about to add fashion designer to her resume.
But she won't go it alone. Miley is teaming up with red-carpet favorite Max Azria to [...]
- Mad By Design Onyx Stingray Tote | Eco-Friendly Black Bamboo Bag - 2009-07-01 04:05:11-04
Mad by Design keeps it simple with the Onyx Stingray tote.
The name is unique, but pretty self explanatory when you look at it. The Onyx part comes from the black finish. Black is classic yet contemporary, and so easy to coordinate with anything in your wardrobe. But if it's not for you, the same stingray [...]
- Kate Spade Savona Bri Hobo | Modern Leather Handbag - 2009-07-01 11:55:52-04
Another offering from the Kate Spade Savona collection, the Bri Hobo ventures a bit off of Spade's usual preppy path with chic, minimalist style.
The smooth cowhide texture, pared down geometric stitching details and basic shape all work perfectly together for a bag that will accent many different styles in your wardrobe. Far from trendy, this will [...]
- Juicy Couture Martinique Wristlet | Signature Terry Cloth and Leather Mini-clutch - 2009-07-01 15:50:12-04
The time has come for a summery little wristlet from Juicy Couture.
The easy-going designer is the un-challenged king/queen of pink, and this tiny clutch doesn't break the pattern. In soft patterned terry edged with bright feature hot pink leather, this bag screams girlie from the rooftops. Or, at the least, it giggles it flirtily!
Thankfully the [...]
- Big Buddha Santorini Tote | Straw and Woven PVC Handbag - 2009-07-01 21:25:12-04
The Greek island of Santorini is well-known for its beautiful weather and gorgeous surroundings. Well, most of us can't make it there for a summer vacation, but we can at least get a little piece of Greece from this fashionable Big Buddha tote.
The Santorini handbag comes in a myriad of color options, but I happen to love it best in [...]
- Beyoncé to Launch Sasha Fierce Collection for House of Deréon | Pop Star and Mom Collaborate for Handbags, Jewelry, and More - 2009-07-01 22:01:19-04
Beyoncé's alter-ego sometimes gets more of the spotlight than the superstar herself, in my opinion. Sasha Fierce might not be a household name, but it's definitely one that's been tossed around alot in interviews and articles. Now the performance diva counterpart is following Beyoncé from the stage to the fashion world.
The pop star and her mom, [...]
- La Regale Emily Clutch | Bold Contemporary Patent Croc Purse - 2009-07-02 02:05:18-04
Yesterday I wrote about the Crystal Wallpaper clutch from Inge Christopher. This beaded beauty was "sugar and spice and all things nice." Yes, it's very pretty, but sometimes we feel like walking on the wild side. That's when a sexy little purse like the Emily steps up.
A hard structured case is finished in bold mock [...]
- Comme des Garcons Launches Limited Edition Black Label | Designer Fashions for the Financial Crisis … Sort Of - 2009-07-02 03:05:54-04
Comme des Garçons has launched a limited edition Black Label fashion range in answer to the financial crisis. The French label's creative director Rei Kawakubo says the back-to-basics range is an "emergency reaction to the recession."
Eleven Black Label outlets will open in some of the world's fashion capitals. London's Dover Street Market gets a store, [...]
- Maxx New York Del Posto Croco Barrel Bag | Small Patent Crocodile Textured Purse - 2009-07-02 04:05:07-04
Small in stature but big on style comes the Del Posto Croco barrel bag from Maxx New York. Its chic styling is ideal when you're traveling light but want to make a big impression.
And for the biggest impression, I'd choose this kiwi green bag. It's just a little bit different, and definitely in keeping with [...]
- Kate Spade Fairchild Gardens Tote | Floral Printed Canvas and Leather Tote - 2009-07-02 16:09:30-04
The full name of this Kate Spade tote is quite a mouthful: the Happy Birthday Quinn Fairchild Gardens tote. I can't even begin to understand the meaning of the title, which is why, for the sake of space and not causing confusion, we'll just call it the Fairchild Gardens tote for this review.
As sometimes printed [...]
- Vintage-style Woven Suede Handbag | Cinnamon Colored Hobo Tote - 2009-07-02 16:36:05-04
Casual is the theme of today. I'm talking spacious bags with tons of rustic charm. Soft luxurious fabrics and simple but effective designs.
The pick of today? This supple and vintage-style leather tote. It is great because the suede is not only sexy and deliberately distressed, but quite unique. In particular, the woven front design really [...]
- Youths Design Handbags for Versace | Donatella Launches Art Unites Program - 2009-07-02 23:16:53-04
Some of Versace's up-and-coming handbag designers met recently at the Whitney Art Museum in New York City. The designing brainstorm session wasn't quite the scene that you might be picturing right now, though.
With markers and papers in hand, Donatella Versace joined several kids from the Starlight Children's Foundation for the first Art Unites event, a [...]
- Stone Mountain Kiawah Tote | Casual Fabric Neutral Handbag - 2009-07-03 02:05:05-04
Stone Mountain plays it safe with the Kiawah, a tote that doesn't make too many waves so you can carry it every day.
But that's not to say it's devoid of personality. Playful tassels hanging from the front pocket add a touch of whimsy, and while the palette is neutral the tan leather delightfully contrasts with [...]
- Emma Watson Tells "Teen Vogue" About Style | Harry Potter Star Loves Chanel, Forgets About Burberry! - 2009-07-03 03:05:47-04
Emma Watson, is currently glamming up the fall Burberry campaign, but it seems the Harry Potter heroine has no real loyalty to the brand. In the current issue of Teen Vogue, the teen starlet declared Chanel to be her favorite designer!
"It's kind of my lucky brand [Chanel], a fail-safe," she said.
That's probably no big shock. [...]
- The SAK Glisten Crochet Shoulder Bag | Eco-Friendly Knit Bag with Sequins - 2009-07-03 04:05:01-04
It often seems like The SAK has just two types of handbags. There are the sleek urban stylings of the Ashbury Shopper and Silverlake Flap bag, and then there are the casual green accessories like the Eco Harmony Shopper and the Indio Crochet tote. But it seems The SAK hoped for something in the middle [...]
- Tepper Jackson Samba Tote | Clear Psychadelic Tote Hits Transparency Trend Spot-on - 2009-07-03 16:09:58-04
Vogue reports that transparency is one of the trends for the coming summer season. In the same breath small and decorative bags are fashionable too. Sometimes, however, you can't have both - after all, your shopping and work won't fit in a teeny tiny oh so pretty mini-bag!
This tote definitely hits transparency on the head, [...]
- Hype Marella Camera | Shiny Snakeskin Printed Leather Handbag - 2009-07-03 20:56:39-04
There's not really anything about this handbag that makes me want to stand up and cheer, but it's not one to be completely ignored either. Though not extraordinary in style or function, the Hype Marella Camera is a decent little fashion accessory.
There are several different details on the Marella that make it worth the consideration. [...]
- Ideeli's Upcoming Handbag Giveaways | Enter to Win Longchamp, Louboutin, Gucci, and Lanvin - 2009-07-03 21:32:28-04

The first to arrive is the infamous Longchamp It Bag [...]
- Vera Bradley Out to Lunch Tote | Cute Quilted Fabric Lunch Bag - 2009-07-04 02:05:07-04
Vera Bradley's handbags aren't everyone's cup of chai, but I think this Out to Lunch tote is a much cuter way to carry your sandwiches to work than a boring old brown paper bag!
The traditional flap style is embellished with diagonal quilting and Vera Bradley's signature fabrics. This art deco inspired floral pattern is called [...]
- G by Guess Spycat Clutch | Sparkly Silver Snakeskin Purse - 2009-07-04 14:08:00-04
G by Guess, the cheaper sister brand of handbag guru, Guess, have produced a great summer showstopper just in time for the blockbuster season.
This little clutch glistens in silver snakeskin python fabric, and is also available in a more subtle and situation friendly black. The silver, however, really shows of the vintage inspired rough and [...]
- Roxy Freely Hobo | Casual Knotted and Beaded Bag with Vintage Style - 2009-07-04 21:39:32-04
Some handbags are just too casual to ever be really versatile in a wardrobe. However, these laid-back totes are sometimes the most fun when compared to many practical options.
This Roxy Freely Hobo is a perfect example of those quirky, casual bags that you'll probably only wear when you've got flip-flops or sandals on your feet. [...]
- Christy Turlington Strikes a Pose in Yves Saint Laurent Campaign | Supermodel Stars in Fall/Winter Ads - 2009-07-04 22:02:08-04
It seems to me that Christy Turlington is one of the hardest working models in the fashion world right now. Just as her Bally fall 09 commercial is revealed, we're already seeing her face again in ads for another label.
While Turlington might be the perfect Bally woman, she's also glamming it up for Yves Saint [...]
- Alexander Wang Coco Duffel Bag | Leather Luxury Gold Studded Handbag - 2009-07-05 02:05:37-04
Mary Kate Olsen has been swanning about town with her Alexander Wang Coco bag for months, while we all looked on enviously. But now this studded beauty is set for global release, so we can all get in on the action.
The Coco sets itself apart from the pack with two exciting features: the leather and [...]
- Loop NYC Audio Couture Clutch | Compact Retro Designed Purse Featuring Built-in Speaker - 2009-07-05 13:18:10-04
Handbags don't have to be taken seriously. Sometimes, as this Loop NYC clutch proves, they can be perfect for having fun.
The Loop NYC Speaker bag isn't anything new. We are all familiar with the great fun squeezed into this boom-box design, with real and working speakers. Now, however, this is available in a much more compact [...]
- Watch DVDs on the Go with Bag TV Handbags - 2009-07-05 21:20:54-04
Handbags have just become more high-tech with the advent of Bag TV. The purses are spacious and chic enough to carry almost anywhere, and the built-in television screens are sure to please jetsetters and daily commuters.
Bag TV may be a bit of a misnomer, because at this point you can't use it to watch regular [...]
- Nahui Ollin Tootsie Mini ER Purse | Candy Wrapper Handbag with Manmade Trim - 2009-07-05 22:13:37-04
Nahui Ollin has been cleverly weaving recycled paper into handbags for some time now. I'm not always a fan of her styles, but there are many designs that have such a great combination of colors and textures as to catch my attention.
The ER collection has a few different versions including tote, satchel, and this mini purse. [...]
- Chloe Reveals New Fall 2009 Ad Campaign | Trio of Models Showcase Designer Duds - 2009-07-05 22:49:16-04
In my books, Chloe is almost always fabulous whether you're considering their clothing, handbags, or newly released ad campaigns.
I can't say that their previous campaigns have made a lot of buzz in the fashion world, but I happen to love their new shots for the fall 2009 season. Situated among a very autumn-appropriate wheat field [...]
- Bulgari Penelope Hobo Bag | Retro Pink and Black Canvas and Leather Purse - 2009-07-06 02:05:32-04
Bulgari has channeled retro style with this fun Penelope hobo bag.
The cute color combo of pale pink and black calls to mind poodle skirts and jukeboxes. It's feminine without being fussy, and the rest of the Penelope follows suit. The casual slouch we associate with hobos is gone, replaced with smooth, chic lines. It's surprising [...]
- Charles L Thomas Donna Shoulder Bag | Women's Top Zip Cotton Handbag - 2009-07-06 04:05:17-04
Charles L Thomas has turned my head with the Cynthia Bowler and Sandy Shoulder Bag, but the brand fails to inject that same spark into the Donna.
Jungle Java, Forest Moss, and Jungle Moss sound exotic, but these deep green shades look a little drab on the oxford fabric. The snake embossed trim seems like it's [...]
