The best thing about Friday is that we get one every week. Nothing beats the anticipation of waking up on Friday morning and knowing that there are only eight hours of work standing between you and two sweet days of freedom and relaxation. To speed that process along, we’ve done what we do every Friday – scoured the Internet for discounted bags that we believe will be relevant to your interests. After the jump, reap the rewards of our hard labor.

Love it or Leave it: the Hermes Kelly Lakis
We know you get a lot of Hermes bags on PurseBlog, but typically we show you the coveted Birkin. Today, I want to show you the just as well-known Hermes Kelly in a version you may have never seen before: with outside zipper pockets. This is the Hermes Kelly Lakis, and it first hit stores … Read more
In My Bag: Chanel Cosmetic Bag edition
I’m not a big makeup person. In fact, I typically don’t wear it. I am, however, a big fan of taking care of my skin, so every morning and evening I go through a routine which will hopefully help keep my face looking young and fresh for years to come. When it came to finding a beauty bag, I decided I had to go with Chanel, because what’s more classic than a quilted Chanel cosmetic pouch?
I throw this pouch in my bag when I know I’ve got a long day upon me and inside of it, there are three items I will never leave home without.
Check out how much Louis Vuitton luggage Kourtney Kardashian and fam brought to London

After the jump, you’ll see pics of the whole gang … Read more
Lunchtime Eye Candy: Marchesa’s Fall 2013 gorgeous clutches and handbags
As much as I love Rick Owens’ industrial minimalism and Maison Martin Margiela’s subversive modernism, I’m an absolute fool for a girly, sparkly clutch. There’s just something about them that speaks deeply to my inner child who still harbors hopes of one day becoming a princess, even though I figured out early on that I was going to have to marry extremely well for that to happen. (That’s just how my brain works. I knew at a young age that spontaneous princess-hood was not in my future.) I’m pretty sure that when holding one of the Marchesa Fall 2013 evening bags, though, I’d come as close as humanly possible to actually feeling like royalty.
The Many Bags of Rachel Zoe
Although Bravo has done its best to put to rest rumors that The Rachel Zoe Project won’t be coming back for another season, we thought that now, the morning after Zoe’s Season Five finale, would be an appropriate time to take a look at The Many Bags of Rachel Zoe. As you all know, Zoe … Read more
Fill in the Blank: “I’d go see _____ with the Charlotte Olympia Movie Night Shoulder Bag.”

Miuccia Prada personally oversaw the gorgeous 1920s-era wardrobing for the film, and based on the trailers, it’s indeed full of deco gorgeousness the likes of which hasn’t been seen since…well, … Read more
Mary-Kate Olsen steps out in a petite alligator bag from The Row
Here’s Mary-Kate Olsen, arriving at the Greenwich Hotel in NYC and carrying a The Row Alligator Mini Doctor Bag, in what is clearly becoming an on-going protest against all other bag designers whose last names aren’t “Olsen.” This gorgeous blue-grey alligator bag is from The Row’s Resort 2013 collection. Sadly, (but to the great relief … Read more
My Hermes Rivale Bracelet revealed on Vine
Last weekend Vlad and I took a little getaway with some friends, and on our way back into the city I saw an Hermes store out of the corner of my eye. I made Vlad whip the car around as soon as I laid eyes on the sign and we were in the parking lot before I knew it, much to Vlad’s dismay. The Hermes Manhasset store was meant for me that day, and I decided I had to leave with a little something.
I ended up picking two bracelets, and I wanted to reveal my first in a different way. If you haven’t heard of Vine, it is a new app that allows you to shoot 6 second clips, and you can put it together in any way you’d like. My Ducky decided to unveil my new treasure, so sit back and enjoy as Ducky unwraps my box to reveal my Hermes Rivale Bracelet.
Also, if you are on Vine be sure to follow us, username: purseblog.
Reed Krakoff leaving Coach to focus on his own brand – what’s next for both brands?
In the past several seasons, Coach’s leather goods offerings have become a force to be reckoned with. Sure, the brand has long been popular for its reasonably priced handbags and logo-covered accessories, but as of late, its leather game has been so on-point that I can’t even begin to enumerate the times I’ve heard people say, “I’m usually not a Coach fan, but I would kill to have this bag.” Now it looks like both of the men who brought about that upward trajectory are leaving the company. Yesterday, Women’s Wear Daily reported that Reed Krakoff would be leaving his post as president and chief creative officer of Coach in mid-2014; chairman and CEO Lew Frankfort had previously announced his early-2014 departure. So what’s ahead for Krakoff, and can Coach maintain its current momentum without the executives credited with creating it?
Video: Tibi Fall 2013 takes a walk on the mod side
Tibi is one of my absolute favorite brands, and each season I anxiously await the show to see what creative director Amy Smilovic has in store for us. Her aesthetic fits my everyday style so well that I would be happy, happy, happy to wear her clothes all day, every day. The Tibi Fall 2013 … Read more
