What to Carry for Fourth of July Festivities, No Matter How You’re Celebrating
I never have a problem choosing a handbag to go with my day-to-day outfits. After all, I have plenty of time to contemplate bags as much as I want, and like anyone else, I have my go-to options. When it comes to a special occasion when I’m outside of my normal routine – say, a … Read more
Just Can’t Get Enough: Chanel Metiers d’Art Paris-Edimbourg
One of the most stand-out collections in recent memory from Chanel is its Métiers d’Art Paris-Edimbourg Collection. The Scottish theme took center stage in everything from the clothing to bags. This collection is a personal favorite, with tweeds, plaids and metals showing through in classic Chanel fashion.
We just couldn’t get enough of the collection, and while we’ve covered it before, we decided to take another look at some of our favorite bags. And really, what’s better than stacks of Chanel against a sleek background? Which is your favorite?
The Best Bag Deals for the Weekend of June 28
Just because sale season is winding down doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of awesome bags out there to pick up at a discount. On the contrary; lots of retailers have added to their online sales, bringing in a fresh crop of markdowns that should benefit those of us who have hedged our bets to see how low prices would go. (Personally, I bought two pairs of shoes yesterday, both for over 50% off.) This week’s roundup of bag deals brings with it designers from the likes of Gucci, Prada, Saint Laurent and Givenchy, so if you’ve got some room left in your sale budget (or even if you don’t), now’s the time to use it up. Check out our favorite ways to empty your bank account below.
Latest Obsession: Tiny Prada Bags
Miuccia just gets me, man. I should just sign my entire wardrobe budget over to her, between Prada and Miu Miu. I just bought a pair of Prada shoes earlier this week (after initially going shopping to scout out a pair of Miu Mius), and now I’m scheming to making one of these Prada Mini … Read more
Fergie Still Loves Her Saint Laurent Bag
Here’s Fergie toting her trusty Saint Laurent Ligne Y Tote around Santa Monica. As you can see, she is still heavily pregnant. Thankfully, she’s staying out of her signature platform pumps and trekking around town in a pair of comfy Nike Air Jordan 1 Retro sneakers. (There’s further evidence that old school high-tops are making … Read more
LUISAVIAROMA Style Lab Part I, Featuring MCM Worldwide Bags
As I told you last week, Vlad and I were honored to be part of LUISAVIAROMA’s 7th Annual Firenze4Ever Event. The event, which gathers fashion and style bloggers around the world to celebrate Italian style, is magical in a way that I can only fall short in describing. Every detail is so thought-out, each gather, … Read more
CR Fashion Book Shows Us the Making of the Hermes Constance
In case you’re not yet familiar with CR Fashion Book, let me explain – the “CR” stands for “Carine Roitfeld,” the incredibly influential and generally brilliant former editor of French Vogue. When she left her former post, she consulted for a little while before forming a new indie magazine, which is pretty great. Also great: … Read more
The Many Bags of Miranda Kerr, Part Two
Since we started our The Many Bags of… series over a year ago, we’ve been making periodic mental note of the celebrities that we’d like to revisit for a second round. Some stars have simply been too bag-crazy for too long to do justice to them in one shot, and others, like supermodel and all-around perfect human being Miranda Kerr, have stepped up to the handbag plate so much in the past year that their bag choices in that time period totally eclipse whatever they had going on before that, no matter how good at was. (And in Kerr’s case, it was very good.)
Stuart Vevers Unveils His Plan for Coach’s Future
For a man who’s just been given a new job, the detail that former Loewe creative director Stewart Vevers went into when talking to Women’s Wear Daily about his nascent arrival at Coach and what it means for the future of the brand was pretty impressive. Vevers has clearly had some time to consider the … Read more
A Dozen Wallets Under $300 to Organize All That Stuff in Your Handbag
Confession: I don’t carry a wallet. I haven’t in years, perhaps even since college. In my bag, I have a slim Proenza Schouler billfold for cash and a Marc Jacobs card case that’s attached to my keys, and because I’m something of a minimalist when it comes to what I put inside my handbag, I … Read more
Jordana Brewster Still Has Love for the Celine Luggage Tote
I think we can safely say the celeb obsession with Celine Luggage Totes has peaked. We’ve seen fewer and fewer celebs with their Celines in recent weeks, but here’s actress Jordana Brewster (of TNT’s Dallas and the Fast & Furious franchise, natch) carrying a Celine Luggage Tote in LA. It’s curious to see how certain … Read more
