Hayden-Harnett Talitha Clutch

While browsing through our Forum yesterday, it occurred to me that in all my time writing for PurseBlog, I have never written about a Hayden-Harnett bag. Obviously, that needs to be remedied immediately – why have I been overlooking a brand that has such a big following? Silly me!

So I looked through their website, and the Hayden-Harnett Talitha Clutch is easily my favorite of their current handbags.

Anya Hindmarch Laundry Canvas Tote

So, not every single thing about my move to San Diego has been perfect. Near perfect, yes. Perfect, no. So what is it that has held back this near perfection? Well besides being rather far from the family, I don’t have a washer and dryer in my apartment. Gasp, I know! I’ve had places before that were without laundry facilities but it has been quite a bit of time now.

But hey, when I saw this cute tote I thought maybe not having laundry in the building would give me a reason to buy a new bag.

Dolce Vita Studded Pump

I can’t wear heels, but that doesn’t mean I don’t love them like a fat kid loves cake. Because I do. In fact, it’s much better that I can’t wear them, because if I could, I’d be in a whole heap o’ trouble. I, like Carrie Bradshaw before me, would probably be required to, at some point, consider living in my shoes. That’s how many I would have.

But instead, I admire them from afar, and lately I’ve been drooling all over the Dolce Vita Studded Pump.

Valentino Satin Bow Front Clutch

I am not ashamed to admit that when I was first becoming enthralled with the fashion world I had the hardest time remembering if it was Valentino bags or Versace bags that I adored/despised. There is a clear difference between the two brands and their styles. To be honest, it saddens me that I have not seen a decent Versace bag in the longest time. But Valentino captivates me. Valentino bags continue to play on femininity and elegance.

Vintage Chanel

Dear ShopBop, Please continue tempting us with Vintage Chanel pieces. Despite the fact that we have placed ourselves on a self-inflicted shopping ban, our fingers are miraculously attempting to click on the add to cart button, though someone continues to beat us to it. Some other savvy shopper on the internet has fingers faster than … Read more

Diane von Furstenberg Hayworth Clutch

Yep, I need to make this clutch mine. While I am not so sure I completely believe in love at first sight (when it comes to relationships) but I definitely fell in love with this clutch the instant that I laid eyes on it. Admittedly I don’t own any Diane von Furstenberg items and I am totally envious of both my mom and sister because they have a few pieces. But this clutch might be in the running as the first DVF item in my closet.

Alexander McQueen Faithful Glove Studded Clutch

Alexander McQueen Faithful Glove Studded Clutch

We are totally crushing hard on Alexander McQueen. The new line of bags has our attention and has us desperately seeking an extra allowance to splurge on a range of his designs. The most talked about bags from McQueen this fall is his “Faithful” line. We have already seen the Alexander McQueen Faithful Glove Clutch, the Faithful Bucket Tote, and the Faithful Leather Tote. Each of these handbags continues to be reinvented with new colors and patterns that has using the eni meni mini mo technique to choose our favorite.

Hobo Interntional Triple Chain Clutch

At this point, we all know I love a good, inexpensive clutch. The uses that I have for them often involve heinous acts of bag abuse in dive bars, so it’s best for me to not invest more money in one that I’m willing to lose when I leave it sitting on the back of a toilet.

My stance on this issue is rather pragmatic, and I’m betting that I’m not the only girl in her 20s that has to weigh those concerns when they pick a bag for a night out. You want to be stylish, but you don’t want to put one of your most prized bags at risk. Which is where the Hobo International Triple Chain Clutch comes in.

Givenchy Eclipse Cut Hobo

Well I didn’t mean it this way, but apparently today is Texture Day at PurseBlog. Earlier this morning, we talked about the gorgeous quilting of the Bottega Veneta Quilted Briefcase, and now we’ve got the interesting destruction that has been visited upon the Givenchy Eclipse Cut Hobo.

So what exactly did they do to it? Exactly what it sounds like, actually. But you’ll have to make the jump to see the close-up.

Bottega Veneta Quilted Briefcase

I wrote about a Marc by Marc Jacobs man bag today for PurseBlog Savvy, and it got me thinking about man bags in general. Most of them are fairly unisex – a woman could easily use most of them as travel or office bags. Also, many are beautiful in their own right, although they don’t show up when I go looking for handbags to write about at Saks or Nordstrom. So I decided to go searching for one to gush over for the enjoyment of everyone here.

And did I ever find one. The Bottega Veneta Quilted Briefcase has some of the most gorgeous details of any man bag I’ve ever seen.
