TalkShoes Testimonials: The Rag & Bone Harrow Boot

Mar 26, 2015Mar 26, 2015 by Katherine Callaghan

Every time the weather turns temperate, like clockwork, I contemplate the exact same thing: Should I, or should I not, buy a pair of Rag & Bone boots? One of my personal favorites in the extensive Rag & Bone boot family is the Harrow boot, but I was never quite sure if my love for … Read more

Introducing the Next Must-Have Bag, The Gucci Lady Web

Mar 25, 2015 by Megs Mahoney Dusil

Gucci always hits it out of the park, and the brand’s latest line only proves what a tremendous run Gucci has been on with its handbags. I carry my Bamboo Shopper so often that it’s one of my most-used bags, and after the release of the Jackie Soft Bags, I was hooked as well. The next must-have from Gucci is Lady Web, which takes inspiration from Gucci’s vintage style and gives it a modern twist.

PurseBlog Beauty: The 5 Products You Need to Get Your Eyebrow Game Right

Mar 25, 2015 by Amanda Mull

If you’ll allow me to brag for a moment, I would like to tell you that I have really good, natural-looking eyebrows. They’re not good in the super-shaded, airbrushed-looking, Instagram makeup artist sort of way; instead, they look like they may have grown out of my face. They didn’t, of course, but I would never let nature interfere in the pursuit of my best eyebrows. If you have similar goals, I’ve got some tips.

The 10 Weirdest, Most Wonderful Fashion Items You Can Buy Online Right Now

Mar 25, 2015 by Amanda Mull

The Internet has changed nearly everything we do in some way or another, and it’s certainly had an effect on fashion brands, the markets they can reach and what they decide to produce as a result. Because its easier to find a niche customer, brands incur less risk and make more specialty pieces than ever, and that results in a ton of non-intuitive products that make their way onto the websites of your favorite retailers. We took a survey of what’s available right now, and it includes everything from a vintage runway guitar to a very luxe teddy bear.

The 6 Cult Handbag Brands You Need to Know Now

Mar 24, 2015Mar 24, 2015 by Amanda Mull

When it comes to handbags, we all know who the reigning kings and queens of the market are. As much fun as it is to check out new collections from big brands and gush over longtime favorites, we also believe in keeping a watchful eye on what’s next. In recent years, independent designers like Mansur Gavriel and Edie Parker have risen quickly from relative obscurity, and we’ve got some ideas about what the next brands to have that kind of impact might be.

18 of the Best Fringe Bags for Spring 2015

Mar 24, 2015 by Megs Mahoney Dusil

I’m constantly checking new arrivals on my favorite shopping sites and recently noticed a big influx of fringe fashion pieces, handbags and beyond. Fringe is making a big statement for Spring 2015, but something about it feels so familiar. After a bit of checking, I figured out why: almost exactly a year ago, I wrote a very similar piece on the best fringe bags for Spring 2014, and now, here we are, in a sort of handbag déjà vu.

Gucci makes the jump from last season to this season with a similar fringe bag, but it’s just so cool I couldn’t leave it out. Many of the fringe bags for Spring 2015 have a more seventies vibe, perfect for the music festival crowds and those who love a fashion throwback. There’s a resurgence of suede, which can be a little hard to keep clean but always gives a vintage feel. Check out the 18 best fringe bags for Spring 2015 below!

Celebs Refuse to Stray from Their High-End Faves This Week

Mar 24, 2015Mar 24, 2015 by Emily Anderson

Celebrities seem to have come to a consensus: When life hands you lemons, carry Chanel. Or Hermès. Basically, just never stop carrying a fancy handbag, and people will never question you or your life choices. You can dye your hair green. You can wear sweats to a nice restaurant. You can have it all, and no one will refute your right to belong anywhere, as long as you don’t leave the truly high-end stuff at home. (You can attempt such antics while carrying other brands, but results may vary.)

PurseBlog Asks: What Do You Do with Your Bags When You’re Done with Them?

Mar 23, 2015 by Amanda Mull

I’ve been thinking about handbag life cycles lately, and it occurred to me that most of you likely do not have the space constraints that those of us who live in New York City have. Even in a particularly spacious apartment, storage is at a premium, and that means I can’t keep all the things I might have kept if I still lived in Georgia and had a walk-in closet.

26 Pretty, Pale Bags to Add a Note of Spring to Your Wardrobe

Apr 6, 2015Mar 23, 2015 by Amanda Mull

Friday was the first day of spring, and even though it snowed all day in New York City, we pressed on through the weekend anyway, mostly because we didn’t have a choice. That’s all over now, though, and we are determined to start the first full week of the new season on a nice note: with over two dozen bags that positively scream “SPRING!!”

Is This Louboutin Bag the First Evening Backpack?

Mar 23, 2015 by Amanda Mull

As you might imagine, after six years of writing about handbags every day, it’s not often that I see a bag from a major brand and think, Huh, that’s completely different than anything I’ve ever seen. That’s exactly what I thought when I saw the Christian Louboutin Sweet Charity Snakeskin backpack, though, and I’m a little bit obsessed with it.

Mar 20, 2015 by Pattie Rechtman

Happy Friday, Roundup readers! We have a lot to share with you, so let’s get this party started. We dropped into the Kitchen this week, as well as the Jewelry Box.
