Jul 29, 2016 by Amanda Mull

Somehow it’s going to be August by the time we see you again on Monday, which seems impossible until you remember that summer always flies by as New Yorkers hurtle straight back to the inevitable winter that it feels like just ended. In the meantime, before we progress on to the last month of summer, … Read more

Rihanna Loves Wild Shoes and We Love Her For It

Jul 29, 2016 by Emily Anderson

We are huge fans of Rihanna’s style, even though her handbag choices have gotten a tad predictable lately because of her very lucrative endorsement deals with Dior. But, Ri-Ri steps out in a different pair of shoes almost every night, and her truly eccentric designer shoe choices never disappoint. Even though they are occasionally determined … Read more

We’ve come once again to Friday morning, and that means it’s time once again for an installment of our weekly roundup of bag deals.

Dec 26, 2020Jul 28, 2016 by Megs Mahoney Dusil

This is one of those posts that’s hard to know where to begin. What I’m about to delve into is long and personal, with details that may make some of you wonder why I chose to share so much, but people close to me know how open I am. Though I spend most of my … Read more

Bucket Bags Galore: Check Out Instagram’s Best Mansur Gavriel Bag Pics

Jul 28, 2016 by Katherine Callaghan

What Mansur Gavriel has accomplished in its short time in the handbag market is extremely impressive. The brand rocketed to success quickly after its debut because not only are the designs chic, simple and functional, but their prices aren’t sky-high. For a long time, the brand’s signature Bucket Bag was nearly impossible to buy without … Read more

Just Can’t Get Enough: Gigi Hadid and Her Versace Palazzo Empire Bag

Jul 28, 2016 by Amanda Mull

When you think of the ideal Versace woman, you probably imagine someone Amazonianly tall, endlessly leggy, extremely blonde and curvy, but in a fashion way. A supermodel, but more in the vein of Victoria’s Secret than the alien babydolls preferred by high fashion brands over the past 15 years. In short, you’d imagine Gigi Hadid, … Read more

Bottega Veneta Sample Sale Happening Now in NYC

Jul 27, 2016 by Megs Mahoney Dusil

One of the aspects I miss most about living in NYC full-time is the constant access to sample sales. I lived down the street from one of the main sample sale hubs, and sometimes walking home from work or a meeting meant popping into whatever sample sale was currently happening and snagging crazy deals. For those of you who have never been to a sample sale: yes, the prices are that good, and yes, you should try it sometime!

Chanel Will Produce the Chanel Rainbow Boy Bag from the Cuba Cruise Collection

Jul 27, 2016 by Megs Mahoney Dusil

When the Chanel Cruise 2017 Cuba collection debuted, I immediately started to hunt for images of the bags. The usual sites we check for photos didn’t have closeups of the accessories, and I wanted to see what Chanel did for this monumental show–the first of its kind for an international brand in Cuba. We did find photos to share, finally, and last week Chanel sent over additional photos of Chanel Cuba Cruise 2017.

Ornate, unique embellishments are one of the many reasons that Christian Louboutin‘s loyal clientele keeps coming back for more, and in the designer’s Fall 2016 collection, there’s no shortage of detail in sight. We’ve already showed you some shoes from Louboutin’s Pre-Fall collection, and now that the Fall 2016 bags and shoes are making their … Read more

Love It or Leave It: The New Dior Runway Bag

Jul 27, 2016 by Amanda Mull

The Dior Runway Bag was the first big accessory debut of the post-Raf Simons era at Dior (on the runway, as the name would suggest), and I was, admittedly, a little suspicious of it. That was at least partly because of my immense affection for the bags created during Simons’s tenure at the legendary French … Read more

Celebs Move and Shake with Bags from Louis Vuitton, Chanel and Lanvin

Jul 27, 2016 by Emily Anderson

This week, celebs are dividing their time between St.Tropez, the West End, New York music festivals and the never-ending summer movie press circuit. And Craig’s, of course. (Like clockwork, you can always count on half a dozen Real Housewives to sup at Craig’s on any given week.) What are A-listers (and debatable B through D-listers) … Read more
