Hilary Duff with her Prada Fairy Bag
I am now a regular contributor to the SeenOn! Blog, which focuses on what is being worn by some of the most talked about stars today. I first did a piece for them on Lipstick Jungle, and now will be contributing once a week for them.
It has been a little while since I have even seen or heard about Hilary Duff. As the young star lays below the radar, she is working on shedding her Disney image and moving into her own shell. We have seen this young gal carry bags from Rebecca Minkoff to Chanel handbags and now she is sporting one of the most talked about bags of the season, the Prada Fairy Bag. Hilary was spotted wearing her Prada Fairies Bag with a funky outfit, including cowboy boots, short short shorts, and a striped cardigan. I find it perfectly fitting that Hilary is carrying a bag that some find to have more of a young appeal compared to the older celebs that have sported the bag thus far. Sure, her ensemble is a bit of a mess, but she is young and in LA, which means she is somewhat pulling it off!

Givenchy Nightingale
Ok, I know, I know, my celebrity postings have been excessive lately. But all of my favorite ladies (some not so favorite) are carrying around the hottest handbags! It is hard to pass it up. Now this bag I think you will all enjoy, even if it is not in this color combination. The Givenchy Nightingale has been a fan favorite of stars like Ashley Olsen and a favorite of handbag lovers world wide for its sleek and clean appeal. There is something utterly perfect about this bag. What is even more perfect, is the beautiful Heidi Klum carrying it. Even more perfect you ask? Heidi Klum carrying it while being a great mom to her three children, Leni, Henry and Johan. And even more perfect than that… her body. I had to take it that step farther because when I saw her strut down the Victoria Secret runway merely 6 weeks after giving birth I got green with envy. And now I am green with envy over her green Givenchy Nightingale! This handbag is filling all the right categories. It is the perfect punch of color that spring is calling for, it is the perfect everyday bag, and it has that casual chic feel. This version sports a slightly wrinkled patent leather with a zip top closure, double top handles, and a removable shoulder strap. The inside is lined in fabric and has a side pocket and two organizational pockets. Dimensions are 13″ x 14″ x 6″. 5″. I loved this bag before, and now I have a slight case of obsession with it. If I had not just bought the Rebecca Minkoff Wine Nikki (ordered!!), Louis Vuitton Clutch (waiting for me!), and Louis Vuitton Watercolor Speedy (waiting for it to arrive), then I would most definitely go for it. But I have to show some restraint. Anyhow, my trip to NYC next week may have me leaving with a few other handbags, you never know 
Buy through Barneys for $1395.

Cartier is and always will be a household name. But they are a household name for jewelry, not so much handbags. As Cartier broke into the handbag world this past year the response was great! The favorite bag of many is the Marcello de Cartier Bag which is available in three sizes and a variety of colors and materials. The leather prices on this bag range from about $1,005 - $1,600, but the exotic skins and custom hardware and designs will cost more. This bag is a favorite of the stunning Cindy Crawford, who was seen wearing her Marcello de Cartier Bag in black leather. There is a fur version, tan leather, teal leather, navy leather, black leather, and my favorite, pink goatskin. You can see more of the bags at Cartier online. [photo via Splash News]

It seems as though Victoria Beckham is a living Marc Jacobs ad lately. Her dress closet has been comprised of Marc Jacobs dresses, and while each dress looks a little blah on the mannequin, Victoria pulls it off with flying colors. And what is her bag of choice with all of her Marc Jacobs dresses? It has been Hermes as of late, until this past weekend. As she shopped with her kids at Barney’s in Beverly Hills, Victoria Beckham wore the Marc Jacobs Dabble Print Tunic Dress and paired it with the Giorgio Armani Croc-Embossed Tote. When I first spotted this bag I was wracking my brain trying to figure out the designer, but with a little help on tPF, we figured it all out. The handbag is designed with beige crocodile embossed leather and is for sale at Neiman Marcus for $1,695. As for the dress, it is on sale at Net A Porter for $1,950.

Cameron Diaz is always making headlines, but at many times lays low with her personal life. While we see pictures of her from time to time, typically they are of her leaving a restaurant, the gym, or surfing with her best friends in Hawaii. Last week Cameron was spotted leaving dinner carrying her LAMB Carlisle Clutch designed by Gwen Stefani. The Carlisle clutch is a staple for Stefani, as the bag doubles as a clutch or carried flat with handle. Gwen Stefani has become a hit in the fashion world with her LAMB line. Her bags are edgy and out-there, just as her own personal style is. Cameron Diaz wore the LAMB Cheetah Carlisle Clutch (which is currently cold out) which featured coated canvas with printed logo and cheetah pattern and is trimmed with grained leather. While the version Diaz wore is sold out, there is a multicolored version and original version at eLuxury for $425 each.

Fendi Doctor Frame B Bag
Ok so the whole multicolored thing is a little in your face, right? A little too much of the rainbow is going on here. And the bag is just alright. Luckily the dimensions are pretty large or else this handbag would 100% look as if it belonged on a school girl. But seeing that the style is ok, and if the rainbow colors were not so overpowering, you would be able to see that this bag is actually quite pretty. The Fendi Doctor B Bag may not be your choice when it comes to a new handbag, but their larger version has caused quite the stir around the fashion world. I have been asking for over a week about help identifying a certain Rachel Bilson handbag; it is super oversized and looks big enough for her to scoop herself up inside of it. The front on view gave nothing away, but the side view is where the bag could be identified from. The buckled bands on each side are able to adjust the bags capacity and the B buckle is a signature of the house of Fendi. So I am not dubbing this small acid or pastel multicolored bag chic, but if you check out the large one-colored version, it is a definite stunner. The top of the bag is framed and the outside leather is smooth and grained. Dimensions of this small version are 16″x 10.5″x 6.5″. Buy through eLuxury for $1,840 if the multicolored version suits your style.

Victoria Beckham with her Hermes Birkin
It has been said that Victoria Beckham owns over 100 Hermes bags. Well, I would not be surprised. No matter what outfit she is wearing, she loves to pair it with one of her many Hermes bags and always looks absolutely fierce. Sure, she may look like a plastic doll or a robot at times, but let me tell you, I would not mind being called a plastic doll or robot if I looked as good as her. On her way to her son’s birthday party, Victoria Beckham paired her Hermes 35 cm Birkin in Rouge Garance with the chic Marc Jacobs Abstract Floral Print Dress. Talk about stunning! This look is perfect from head to toe (check out the shoes too!). I would love to just sit in her closet for a few hours and drool over her collection.

Anya Hindmarch Cooper Tote
Anya Hindmarch is not a new name in the handbag world. While her leather bags are stunning and timeless, it was her “I’m Not a Plastic Bag” tote that put her on the map. But what Anya does best is create simple silhouettes that dazzle. Her Anya Hindmarch Cooper Tote is a fan favorite, sporting elegant fawn colored leather with a chic gold mirrored metallic trim and gold hardware. This is the bag of bags from Anya. Sure it simple, but it is stunning, just the way fashion should be. Many times less is more, which can be seen in this bag. There is a small clasp fastening pocket on the front and a hidden magnetic closure for the main compartment. The Cooper is the latest and greatest from Anya Hindmarch, already becoming a favorite of celebrities like the stunning Angelina Jolie. Buy through Net A Porter for $1,195.

Le Petitpas Wilm Handbag
It started with me wracking my brain trying to figure out the designer of Katherine Heigl’s red handbag. It then turned into me asking you all to help figure out the designer of her bag. Which only lead to all of you wracking your brains and trying to deduce the right answer. Then I asked on Purse Forum and they were all stumped. We were all hitting a brick wall; noticing similarities between this bag and other designers we have seen, such as braided handles like Balenciaga, and a feel of Mulberry. Luckily, the intelligent Becca on our forum scoured the web and found the designer! The red handbag Heigl has been carrying is the Le Petitpas Wilm Handbag. Le Petitpas functions differently than many designers we know, releasing a new handbag every six months to a year in limited quantities. Once the bags are sold out, there will never be another of the same released. This is a different concept that sets this brand apart from others. Right now their limited edition bag, with less than 500 being produced, The Wilm is garnering the attention of handbag lovers world-wide. The Le Petitpas The Wilm is designed with lush Italian leather with a chic red finish. The handles are hand-stitched and the hardware is speckled bronze plated. There are two front pockets with magnetic closures. At the base of each handbag a limited edition number is embossed letting you know which number of the batch is yours. The brand states that the signature Le Petitpas markings and world renown ‘P’ hardware are found on the bag, though they were not renown to me until now. This is an absolutely stunning bag that has garnered attention near and far and has finally been identified. Buy at Le Petitpas online for $1270.

Mama’s got a brand new bag! Leave it to Victoria Beckham to carry the latest and greatest in the handbag world. We all know that Victoria is friends with Marc Jacobs and has been seen carrying Marc Jacobs handbags before. Over the weekend Victoria spent time without David and with the girls. She hid from the camera and used her new Marc Jacobs bag as a protective force. Her bag, is a stunning bag from the Marc Jacobs runway and an exclusive for the Spring and Summer 2008 line. The Marc Jacobs Mika Bag is an exclusive for Spring 2008 and available in black, taupe, salmon and lemon. Victoria Beckham opted for the taupe, which is offset with green trim and magenta leather woven through silver metal handles. While the bag is simple, the colors are bold and brilliant, looking much more vibrant in the pictures and giving the bag a very artistic touch. The bags are said to cost around $1,795 and are exclusive. Inquire through your nearest Marc Jacobs boutique.
