We have nearly breezed through spring, PurseForum Roundup fans, and are barreling headlong into summer. This week included a holiday of remembrance that also brought with it lots of shopping. We hope you did the former, and we know many of you did the latter. This week, we found lots of reveals throughout the PurseForum, including some gloriously luxe watches, shoes and, of course, bags.

Ashley Greene Takes a Coach Tote to Her Mani/Pedi
Twilight actress Ashley Greene was recently spotted ducking into a nail salon in LA with a Coach Bleecker Legacy Weekend Tote on her arm. Coach’s Bleeker line is actually a series of glove-tanned leather bags, briefcases, and travel accessories for dudes, but I kind of feel like they missed the mark on “manly” here. While … Read more
The Best Bag Deals for the Weekend of May 31
We’ve been obsessed with bag deals all week long (or for the last 10 days, actually – I still have fond memories of Memorial Day’s sale codes), but that doesn’t mean we’re ready to quit just yet. Since it’s Friday and all, we re-shopped all the sales we looked at earlier this week and found some exciting things. First and foremost, both Net-a-Porter and Neiman Marcus have added additional bags to their sale sections, which happened much quicker than it usually does. If you didn’t see exactly what you were looking for the first time, maybe look again. Second, the SSENSE sale is now on, so if you like designers that are a little more fashion-forward, you’re going to want to head directly there. Still not sure where to go? Check out our roundup of the best discount bags around, after the jump.
Just can’t get enough: Rihanna and her Celine Roll Clutch
Love her or not, Rihanna seems to be on all of our screens at all times. The singer makes waves for everything from her musical career to her personal life to her fashion sense, and we are there to follow along. While I’ve been known to jam out to a Rihanna song or two, I … Read more
Bag Battles: Saint Laurent vs. Maiyet
When I first saw the Maiyet Sophie Shoulder Bag, I spent a couple hours turning it over in the back of my mind, trying to remember what exactly it reminded me of. There was something about the hardware, but I couldn’t exactly place why it seemed familiar. Finally, it hit me – it was like … Read more
And Now For Something a Bit Different: Hugh Jackman and Louis Vuitton
Do not adjust your television set. There is nothing wrong with your web browser. Your eyes do not deceive you, today’s featured bag-loving celeb is…a man. And what a man! Here’s Hugh Jackman in full-on Wolverine mode, tossing his Louis Vuitton Damier Graphite Keepall Bandouliere 55 Bag into a taxi in NYC. A hot man … Read more
PurseBlog Asks: Have You Bought Anything Fun From The Sales?
We’ve spent the past few days in a frenzy of markdowns, seasonal sales and coupon codes, and now that we feel like we’ve scoured every corner of the Internet for great discount handbags, we figured that it was time to take a breather and see where things stand right now. Based on the rate at which the most lust-worthy designer bags have been disappearing from the sale pages of retailers left and right, we know that someone out there, possibly several someones, is buying things, and we want to hear about it.
The Many Bags of the Cannes Film Festival Attendees
Do you understand the Cannes Film Festival? I’m not sure that I do. On the surface, I can grok that it’s a place where films both American and international are debuted to a critical audience of industry folks, and the best ones are given awards. In actuality, it seems to be something of a festival celebrating being filthy rich and beautiful as much as its a festival celebrating film, and most of the attendees and their mega-yachts and supermodel dates would make the average one-percenter feel like a pauper. And an unattractive one, at that.
Fendi celebrates the opening of its first boutique in Brazil with a limited edition Baguette
While there have been plenty of recent designs that continue to place Fendi firmly on our handbag radar, none has had such a lasting influence and effect on fashion as the Baguette. No matter how many new bags follow, there is something so special about the Baguette that makes it continue to shine as the … Read more
Diane Kruger carries 3.1 Phillip Lim to a Memorial Day pool party
Here’s an adorably dressed Diane Kruger at producer Joel Silver’s MASSIVE Memorial Day celeb pool party, which must’ve been literally swamped with celebrities, based on all the pics littering the online gossip rags today. Diane paired a 3.1 Phillip Lim Scout Floral Shoulder Bag with her polka dot button-down shirt and tweed-esque skirt. This is … Read more
The Neiman Marcus Sale Is Here and It Is Spectacular
While we were all caught up in the Net-a-Porter sale yesterday (and if you weren’t, you should go check it out immediately), another major sale launched, but with less fanfare: the Neiman Marcus sale, which boasts well over 500 discounted designer handbags, not to mention shoes, accessories, jewelry and clothes. In terms of sheer volume, this is the sale of the season to beat thus far. Prada, Gucci, Valentino, Tom Ford – it’s all here. As we tend to do, we’ve combed the sale pages and found the best representation of the handbag selection, which we’ve included after the jump. If you stopped reading this long ago in favor of clicking through to the sale, well, we wouldn’t blame you for that either.

Kick off summer with the perfect tote from Juicy Couture
Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start to summer, and this year I was lucky to spend mine in warm and sunny Las Vegas. It was Vlad’s and my first time to Vegas, so while we enjoyed resort-hopping and shopping, we also took in the sights outside of Vegas. I knew it was going to … Read more
