It’s hard to believe that September is starting tomorrow and that fall has already come knocking, but according to my calendar, that’s the reality of the situation. To get you ready for the new month (and the impending long weekend), we took a look back at what your fellow PurseBlog readers liked best this month. Below, check out our dossier on everything you need to know to start September (and your fall shopping list).
Month: August 2015
Just Can’t Get Enough: Reese Witherspoon and Her Pink Handbags
Usually when we say a celebrity “just can’t get enough,” we’re talking about someone who really, really loves a particular bag in her collection. When I saw down to go through some photos of Reese Witherspoon, though, I noticed a different pattern–she has a particular affection for a certain shade of pink. A lot of … Read more
Bagercise: 5 Moves to Tone Your Body with Your Bag Collection
Many of you know the story of Vlad and me; we met in college while we were on swimming scholarships for The Ohio State University and started PurseBlog and PurseForum then. Athletics was a huge part of our lives and though our competitive swimming days are over, we still like to keep in shape. Truth is, Vlad loves working out and for many years after I stopped swimming I begrudgingly would go to a workout here or there, but never seemed to get back into the routine.
That all changed when I met Rachel Robinson, a fitness instructor in Miami. Being a reality tv junkie, I immediately recognized Rachel from being on MTV Real World/Road Rules Challenges but Vlad was blissfully unaware. He only knew Rachel as a trainer at Barry’s Bootcamp in Miami Beach. Vlad was already working out multiple times a week at Barry’s Bootcamp and had gotten to know Rachel, I was still not sure about embarking on the bootcamp journey.
Check Out What Your Favorite Stars Carry to the Beach
I have a friend who brings her Prada bag to the beach. She’s a sensible girl at heart, and her attitude about her bag is that it’s hers, it’s saffiano and it should be able to put up with a little sand every now and then. And largely, she’s right – it never looks any … Read more
Purseonals: Gucci Soho Disco Bag
I’ve had a long-time love affair with Gucci and although I’ve reviewed two other Gucci bags I own (the Bamboo Shopper and Lady Stirrup, I have yet to review my most beloved Gucci bag.
Many of you have heard me say how much I love my Gucci Soho Disco Bag, and the bag makes frequent appearances on our Instagram as well, so it seems like it’s about time the bag gets a full review. Check out how my Gucci Soho Disco Bag scores in our Purseonals ratings below!
The 10 Best Celebrity Bag Looks of Summer 2015
As we careen toward the end of summer, it’s once again time to gather ’round in our cut-off jean shorts and semi-sheer tanks and reexamine some of the best bag looks of the season. We had strong showings from brands like Givenchy, Fendi and Saint Laurent, which should come as a surprise to no one. … Read more
50 More Photos That Prove Chanel Bags are the Reigning Celebrity Favorites
When I sat down to compile the photos for this post, I didn’t know that it was going to be about Chanel. As I started looking through our photo agency’s recent archives, though, it became clear that it had to be; no other brand exerts the kind of dominance among high-profile women’s handbag collections that Chanel does.
Not only is are the brand’s bags omnipresent, but they appear on the arms of basically every kind of celebrity there is. Reality stars, celebrated actresses, pop queens, former child stars, fashion editors and high-profile bloggers. No one’s immune, apparently. We already compiled 100 images of stars and their favorite Chanel bags, and in the time since then, we easily found another 50. Check them out below.
The It Bag: A Historical Handbag Timeline
As we mentioned earlier this morning, October 10 marks the third annual National Handbag Day, which, in our view, is a holiday of singular importance. We’ve got lots of fun things planned for you all this week to celebrate NHD, but today, we’re taking a look back at the things that keep our site going: … Read more
PurseBlog Beauty: The 15 Fall Beauty Products to Get Anyone Ready for Fall
We may be on summer break this week, but that means, at least in part, that we’re thinking forward to fall, and not just when it comes to handbags. Below, check out a selection of the beauty, skincare and haircare products we’ll be loading up on for the coming chill in the air.
63 Jaw-Dropping Exotic Handbags and the Celebrities Who Carried Them
Friday is National Handbag Day (did we already mention that?), and that means that our week is even more dedicated to handbags than it usually is. We profile at least one bag collection of some sort per week, whether it’s based on an individual’s ample closet or the attendees at a particular event, but because of the looming spectre of NHD, we wanted to do something a little extra this week. Exotic handbags, especially those made of alligator or crocodile, are designer bags taken to their logical extremes, so they seemed to fit the bill.
10 Reasons to Own a Chanel Flap Bag
Some people dream for years of owning a Chanel Classic Flap Bag or Chanel Reissue 2.55 Flap Bag (and now, a Chanel Boy Bag), some already own multiples of each, and still others think that they’re too traditional and played-out. I couldn’t agree less with that third group of people – with lots of finishes, colors and sizes, Chanel’s famous flaps have a little something that everyone can appreciate, if you stay open-minded. Still on the fence? Allow me to persuade you…
