Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mini Bag

I can’t help it; I’ve been itching to write about this Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mini Bag ever since I saw it on the Rebecca Minkoff Flash Sale. Now I’ve just been staring at it on Shopbop, day in and day out, unable to tear my eyes away from that utterly dreamy, deep prussian blue. It’s just such a regal color.

And, it may be strange for me to say, but I love when small things have a dignified air. Take for example Pomeranians. It’s a digression from bags, but these tiny dogs think they’re massively powerful, and aren’t afraid to bark up the big dogs. In the same way, this Mini Mini packs a punch in a shade fit for royalty. Plus this itty bag has all the same fun qualities in any Rebecca Minkoff Bag- smooth leather, bright hardware, and a color that pops, besides that recognizable little flap.

LAI Patent Pamela Top Handle

LAI Patent Pamela Top Handle

There are few things more glamorous than a really great patent bag. Because of the overwhelming shininess, it can be hard to create one that’s not either tacky or mumsy, but when it happens, it’s beautiful. Which is exactly what the LAI Patent Pamela Top Handle is. The success or failure of a patent bag rests mainly on two features: color and shape. Luckily, this bag hits them both out of the park.

Kate Spade Quilted Poppy Fields Maryanne Tote

Now lookie at what we have here. Hmmm. There is something that I kind of like about it but I can’t quite put my finger on. Well, first of all, I have yet to own a red handbag. I realize I probably should at least have a red clutch, but that isn’t the case. I am trying to diversify my handbag collection and I am pretty sure a red handbag is much needed. So will a Kate Spade bag be one to break into my collection? Maybe!

Jimmy Choo Project PEP Glazed Canvas Tote

Jimmy Choo Project PEP Glazed Canvas Tote

Back in June, we found out that Jimmy Choo was going to be releasing a line this fall in conjunction with Elton John’s AIDS charity, and now the first vestiges of that limited edition line are making their way to market for pre-order. Everything from flip-flops to clutches will be available, but the centerpiece of the effort is the Jimmy Choo Project PEP Glazed Canvas Tote.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Classic Q Drawstringy Leather Bag

While we very rarely do a review on the very same exact bag more than once, there are exceptions to every rule. It’s always fun to revisit a previously covered bag that is just a bit different. There are just some bags out there that are worth a revisit. The Marc by Marc Jacobs Classic Q Drawstringy Leather Bag is a gorgeous bag. My love for this bag started when Amanda wrote about it a couple weeks ago. My love continued to grow when I actually saw the bag in person and my love just exploded when I saw that this bag is available in an unbelievable color called grape juice!

Rebecca Minkoff Exclusive 3-Zip Morning After Clutch

Hmmm, hot pink. What do you think of a hot pink handbag? Personally, I’m not a fan of hot pink on huge bags, but on smaller bags, sure why not?! It is always nice to add a bit of flash and spice to an outfit. The Rebecca Minkoff Exclusive 3-Zip Morning After Clutch is the kind of hot pink bag I am sure I would be able to rock. I am not exactly sure which outfit I would carry it with, but you better believe any black or gray outfit would be fabulous!

Tod’s Ribbed Leather Bag

Tod's Ribbed Leather Bag

I’ve never been a Tod’s fan, by and large. I’m sure that their bags are well-made, but they always seemed to be lacking in the design department, and for that kind of money, I want a bit of visual flair with my perfect construction.

And in the Tod’s Ribbed Leather Bag, I may have found it – this is easily my favorite of their bags in quite a long while, if not ever.

Felix Rey Emma Jewelry Pouch

Whenever I pack for a trip, I’m always scrambling at the end to try and figure out how I should be traveling with my jewelry. I don’t have much in the way of expensive baubles, but I generally try to take good care of even the cheap stuff, and I’ve never found much of a good way to pack it. One time, at the last minute, I just decided to throw it all on and wear it there – and then I got to the airport and remembered why that wasn’t a genius idea.

Admittedly, there are probably lower-priced alternatives than the Felix Rey Emma Jewelry Pouch, but at the moment, it looks like an attractive and useful solution to a problem that I have constantly.
