Today I want to highlight my Chloe Winter Runway Pick of the Day. Why… ‘Because I said so’. For Fall/Winter ‘05-’06 Chloe has some appealing apparel. My pick today is this lovely dress. Now I just need somewhere to wear it

Today is obviously the day of showy bags. Probably a bit too much for most of you to handle. I feel like if these bags all got together and went to a party, when the disco ball would shine on them the light would blind the room. Wonder if I am making any of you feel that way with my metallic/python/gold/striped bag day today. Anyhow I just feel like these bags can only be pulled off with the simplest of simple outfits- nice jeans, a white tank, and cute heels. Anyone disagree? Versace usually screams out for attention, and this bag doesn’t do any differently.

The Versace Velvet Show Bag truly is a show itself. The bag is described as,

“Glamorous enough for a goddess, Versace’s sumptuous velvet bag beams with luxury. Ripples of golden velvet shimmer over the pretty pouch shape, accented by chic croc-stamped leather and a diva-worthy supply of polished golden nails, buckles, chains, and accessories. With artful silk lining, a delightfully decadent bag.”

I’m thinking my writing skills weren’t about to say any of that, but maybe try to get close to it (hence I was not an English major). The first striking part of the bag is the velvet with croc-stamped leather and the polished gold metal hardware. Right from the get-go both of those assets are screaming out at you. The rest of the bag begins to blur together with croc-stamping and gold: there is a frame structure (which I actually love the shape in this case) that has two golden claps with golden Versace cubes, a golden Medusa medallion which hangs from the bag front (as if the rest of the bag didn’t receive enough attention on it’s own), visibly chunky gold metal chain straps which lead up to the croc-stamped shoulder strap, and why not finish it off with the buckle details having croc-stamped leather straps each and every side of the bag. This bag isn’t playing around. On top of all the outside madness, the inside is lined in patterned silk and has a small pocket and a golden (of course it’s golden) Versace plaque. The bag looks a bit bigger than it may actually be, measuring up at 11″ x 6″ x 5.5″. If today hasn’t been showy enough for you already, this bag is sure to put you over the top, which is the same thing the price tag does. $2,016 via eLuxury.

Peer pressure works wonders. Coach, usually known for their classy up-scale, yet affordable bags, is now delving into python. It had to start sometime. With every other designer using exotic materials, Coach has decided it is their turn too. Brand new is the Coach Python Small Pocket Satchel. Personally, I don’t really dig the color chosen. For their first exotic skin bag, shocking blue might be a little too risky- especially for the not so typical price tag we all associate with Coach. The inside features of the satchel include an inside zip pocket, a whatever-you-want-to-store inside pocket, and imported silk lining. The outside features show everyone else the exotic python with calfskin trim, two front and side pockets, and outside zip pocket, and brass turnlock closures. The dimensions are 10 5/8 (L) x 5 1/2 (H) x 4 5/8 (W). For about 6 times over what you are used to spending at Coach, the Coach Python Small Pocket Satchel is available for $1900 via Coach.

Along with the satchel comes the Coach Python Demi. This bag I can stomach a little more because it’s not as big in size so you can get away with some bold colors a bit easier. This demi has all 3 S’s. Small, Simple, and Sexy. The inside of the bag has a cell phone or multi-function pocket and is also lined with imported silk. The outside features the python with calfskin trim and a zip-top closure. The chain is quite fun- it’s an 18 1/2” removable python and brass chain strap with a dogleash clip. The overall dimensions of the bag are 9 1/2 (L) x 4 5/8 (H) x 1 (W). This very small but exotic bag can be purchased for $900 through Coach.

Sometimes I feel like being flashy. Not tacky or gaudy but adding a lil pizzazz to an outfit. Most of the time, it depends on my mood. The Jimmy Choo Cracked Metallic Clutch brings just what some of us fun gals are looking for. The shape is stunning. Being a clean rectangular shape adds a modernized appeal to the bag. Another touch that puts us in the future is the shimmering-metallic leather. A last touch that also ads a modern feel is the shiny silver magnetic fold-down top and diary-lock closure and the grommet hardware (which comes with an adjustable belt). Let’s hop back from the future into now. Both purple and bronze are available (I chose the almost over-the-top purple) and the inside is lined in suede. If you want this hip little clutch (which sizes up at 3″H X 8″L X 2¼”W), you oughta be willing to spend $690 for it via Saks.

After about 2 weeks of mooching off a different houses wireless connection, Vlad and I are back in real business with our own router finally and our own wireless connection!! Because of the guys here drilling all day and re-routing everything, I couldn’t make any posts. But now I’m internet ready so you will all get bombarded with posts later tonight and tomorrow morning! Hope you all had a wonderful day and see you all with new purses and such soon

How can we combat poverty in the US? Just ship Paris Hilton and Momma Hilton to each city to give away $20 bills to each homeless person they see. On her way to Cartier, Paris and her mom were spotted giving $20 to a homeless man. $40 a day is not too shabby. Heck, if that happend everyday of the month that would be $1200/month which could easily be lived off of. On their way to shopping, the Miss and Mrs were sporting quite the trendy bags. It’s that time again!

Name Paris Hilton and Momma Hilton’s Bags!!

I’m feeling an accessories day today. Most handbag lovers are accessory lovers, I think. Layered and big necklaces are ‘in’ right now- for the moment at least. The Juicy Couture Multi Strand Necklace fits all the checklists of being a totally hot accessory at the moment. Using raffia, crystal and gold brass beads, the necklace is more than you could wish for with all of it’s multi-strands. The chunkiest part of the necklace is the one strand of large raffia beads. Along with the raffia beads are two strands of gold beads and three of glass in gold settings. The necklace fastens at your neck with stone colored ties. This is a fabulous little number on Net-A-Porter for $260.

While I know this is the Purse Blog, I also know seeing a few new accessories here and there can’t hurt. And by accessories, I mean shoes. Some of the most sought after shoes are the Blahnik’s. With impeccable detail, style, and appeal, Manolo’s shoes are nothing less than extraordinary. Their price is also just that. A brand new design is the Manolo Blahnik Printed d’Orsay. Made of gold fabric with a dark red abstract print, these shoes will be drawing much attention to the lady whose feet is gracefully wearing them. There is also metallic gold leather tipping, insole, and a covered buckle on an adjustable front strap. The heel is covered, but the size of the heel is not given (bummer. I always need to know heel size so I don’t begin to tower over 6 ft and Vlad). Sizes 5.5-11 are available for this one-of-a-kind beauty. The shoes can be yours if you wallet can splurge out $565.
