So the trend in high end bags seems to be the use of various exotic skins. I really adore some and others not so much. Like I said before the whole croc/gator thing doesn’t really do it for me since I see them as predators. And as much as a real snake like a Python would scare me if I had to encounter one, the skin is absolutely gorgeous. But I am not sure I have heard of eel skin being used before. Actually when I think of eels I think of electric eels that are supposed to be ohh so bad, you know, like the ones that were in The Little Mermaid. But Dolce and Gabanna has decided both Eel and Python delicacies need to be made into one bag. This is where the Dolce & Gabbana Eel & Python Handheld Bag was born.
Dolce & Gabanna is known for their high end exotic beautiful creations. The exotic eel and python bag shows off the ingenuity and beauty of Dolce and Gabbana. The bag features a flap top with diary-lock closure, double shoulder straps, gold tone hardware, and of course signature print lining with an inside zipper pocket. Sizing up at 9″H X 13″L X 6″W, I could see the bag being used by an elite fashonista business woman. The bag is absolutely gorgeous, combining the simplicity of the brown style with the intricately delicate eel and python skin. It is one of a kind and the price reflects that: you can buy the bag at Saks for $2,150.
Many of us are women, correct? Most of us are attracted to men. ALL of us love handbags. Lets mix those two together and add a vintage flare. This is exactly what Troy Smith accomplished by his Handmade Vintage Tie Handbag. Both handmade and the REAL deal of one-of-a-kind bags, Troy Smith has implemented the use of hand selected vintage silk ties for this bag. I really think my dad is vintage by now (haha just kidding daddie!), but I am sure he would have some usable ties hidden in his closet. I’ll have to ask my mom because maybe I could then make my own bag. Anyhow, Smith accents the bag with gold metallic piping and metallic black and gold lace on the edge. Also this bag has one large invisible zipper opening which lined in black satin to add to the vintage divine feel. The triangular shoulder bag measures approximately 13″x11″x13″ and the shoulder strap is 14 inches in length. So like I said, if you enjoy vintage, enjoy a different look from everyone else, enjoy men and their ties, you surely will enjoy this Vintage Tie Handbag. Available through 
Maybe I’m way off and you can laugh at me if I am, but winter reminds me of meat and potatoes and summer reminds me of fruit. It is just how the seasons work. Winter is sweaters and big clothing and summer is skirts and tanks. So to fit the idea of summer Luella Bartley has made the ultimate bag featuring none other than fruit. Apples can be made made so many different ways into a delectable treat, so why not stick them on a bag. It has happened! Louis did the cherries and now Luella is showing off green apples.
Growing up in Florida I have seen my fare share of alligators. They even ate my next door neighbors dog, “Fluffy”. Kind of funny, not the death of a dog part, but the fact that a gator ate a dog named “Fluffy”. Anyhow, I never understood the big deal with gator or croc skin, only because whenever I saw a gator it was covered in algae and always so damned scary. But in the fashion world, croc and gator ski is a coveted good.
For starters, let me show you a simply divine bag. The Fendi Python Beaded Small Vanity Bag is gorgeous. So there Vlad!! Take that. Anyhow, this little number can be carried as a clutch or slung over the shoulder (there is a removable shoulder strap). Personally I love the idea of it being a clutch, but it is all up to you of course. The bag is zucca jacquard with pink python and red leather trim, gold leather piping, and pink and red beaded detail, which means there is a small amount of the Fendi logo print but it is barely noticeable unless you look really really closely. The focal point of the bag is the multicolor mirror detail on front with pink python trim and golden rivets. The bag sports a secure flap closure, which is not only in style but also easy to open and close and really hip for any bag. And here comes the part where I laugh out loud at myself. My parents told me that I have always been drawn to the most expensive items since I first started crawling, and I am doing it again. For a seriously large price of 
Let me now delve into the Fendi Small Metallic Pouch. Remember the song you sang when you used to sit on the red and blue line and have the buddy system and have nap time in school? Think way back to when, and start to hum along with, “Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver and the others gold.” (HAHA I know you just sang along with the actual tune, don’t even try to deny it). This flashy pouch is gleaming with metallic colors, flashing its trendy hardware, and showing off the spy handle. Made with gold and silver metallic zucca logo on light brown fabric, lime green satin lining, metallic gold suede trim, and making sure to include a detachable gold chain shoulder strap if you’d like to sling it over your shoulder, this bag is a true must have. Like I said earlier, the spy handle is what sets this bag up and over the top for me. For some reason my taste just keeps getting higher and higher. This one is pushing the deuce $$$ marking; 
Want to see a unique and somewhat cheap Fendi bag that has no logo print? Take into account that it is all relative, but have I got the bag for you. This is a bit of a blast from the past, I do remember the hip fringing of shirts that was once in style as the 80’s ruled the world, but it is still stylishly unique if you are that type of person who can pull anything off. The Fendi Mini Fringe Baguette is adorned with rose suede calfskin fringe. The bag also features golden hardware, an adjustable shoulder strap (which is a major plus for all size women), and a top flap with snap tab and signature logo buckle of course. Sizing up at 5 1/2″H x 7 1/2″W x 1 1/2″D this Fendi non-signature style is available via 
The beach means summer. Crabs are found at the beach. So crabs mean summer. Right? Sometimes a not so big bag is just as fun and necessary for fun in the sun. Lilly has made what I find to be the perfect beach prep small bag, small as in it can fit a cell phone, lipstick, small wallet, and your car keys. The Lilly Pulitzer Reversible Bermuda Bag is not only bright but also fashionable small and cute. The crab embroidery enhances a cotton twill design, which is held together by a wide wooden handle. Really nifty extra is that the cover reverses to a solid color and buttons onto the lining for easy changing. Yes, that is nifty. I can see this little bag being worn with a summer skirt, a white tank, cute sandals and of course your summer shades. In order to get the most bang for your buck and the most use of the bag, why not consider buying a Lilly Pulitzer Reversible Bermuda Bag Cover in order to truly be able to turn this bag into many different looks. The bag and cover can be found at Nordstrom’s for 
If many of you women are like myself, you have always had that part of you that wants to be a baddass hot motorcycle chick. Maybe it is just me. But you know the Angelina Jolie type, the badass who “doesn’t care”, who is always seen as desirable and super-hot? They look like they have fun (although I am terrified of motorcycles so shhh!) And this all comes down to the Luella Carmen Biker Bag, which emulates a bad-ass stylin’ chick.
