Rebecca Minkoff Violet Matinee
And I thought Vlad was off in thinking the Matinee was modeled after Michael Jackson’s jacket in his Thriller video; but the story behind the Matinee will come next week. We are huge fans of the Matinee here at Purse Blog. I have constantly gotten looks and questions about mine and look forward to grabbing a few more. The bags are practical, chic, and fun. One of my favorite colors, and the perfect color if you want something different but not your typical black, the Rebecca Minkoff Violet Matinee is the perfect option. This cool shape is made with supple leather and the flaps on the side have a light violet underneath. There is gold hardware, leather pullbacks, and loads of pockets for all of your needs. Buy through Delcina for $655. And if you are looking for another stunning option, the Jade Matinee is expected to ship next week!

I know, I know, why does anyone care about Lauren Conrad? Is she even a celebrity? MTV made her one, they really did, and actually I must admit that a) I love her and b) I was so excited to watch The Hills premiere last night! Ok I am totally a dork, but really, I know many of you will unwillingly come forward and say you love the show too. As her status continues to flourish as a reality star, the paparazzi love her more and more. All last week Lauren Conrad was spotted carrying her Rebecca Minkoff Wine Nikki around both the East and West Coast of the USA. The Wine color from Rebecca Minkoff is the elusive must have (refer back to the Wine Matinee). But the craze over this color is far from over, there is a growing crowd that is searching everywhere for the Wine leather Rebecca has produced. Because Rebecca Minkoff loves us so much, she has opened up orders for Wine leather bags to our forum members (READ this thread for details). There is also a pre-order for the Wine Nikki online which is back ordered until 5/31. Cost is $600.

Rebecca Minkoff has taken the handbag loving world by storm. As she creates must-have bags, it is actually the colors that has people going crazy. This reminds me of Balenciaga bags, whose colors from seasons past are highly sought after. After the masses saw photos of Vanessa Hudgens with her Rebecca Minkoff Wine Matinee the color became the hottest color that Rebecca has produced. Problem was the quantities were few and they sold out immediately. People began scouring eBay looking for this bag and asking begging others for information where to find it. I heard through the grape vine that Rebecca decided to make 10 more of these bags, which all went to members of Purse Forum (they are still waiting on the bag). Rebecca knew my love of this bag, and one day in the mail I got an amazing surprise. I saw the box was from Rebecca Minkoff and was stumped; I opened it up and was excited like a kid on Christmas morning, seeing that she sent me a Wine Matinee. The bag was not easy for her to come by even, but she did, and I am forever grateful. This is by far the most sultry, amazing color. And the compliments I get from the bag are endless. A special thanks to our friend Becky for hooking us up with the hottest bag she has released yet!

Rebecca Minkoff Steady Tote
I woke up this morning with one of the most annoying and worst feelings; feeling totally unrested. It is not that this feeling is ok any other morning, but when it happens on a Monday, you know it is going to be a long week. This whole Spring ahead time change is not helping at all either. My internal clock is that sensitive that the one hour time change has me all jumbled up. So yes, this is just another Manic Monday where I would pay good money for a long nap or a mini vacation. And speaking of which, there is something so perfect about many of the Rebecca Minkoff bags and their names that makes me want to hop in he car and get away for a few days. The new stylish tote added to the pre-existing list of hits is the Rebecca Minkoff Steady Tote. This bag sports glazed leather with embossed metallic leather trim and funky stud detail throughout. There are snap slant pockets at the front and back and an optional shoulder strap. Dimensions are great for throwing a few things in and getting out of here; 9″H x 14″L x 8″D. The colors of this bag are peaceful, in a dusty neutral with subtle shimmers of silver accents. The Steady Tote is simple, fun, and calling my name to pack it up and drive me away. Buy through Shop Bop for $675.
Hope the rest of you had a better start to your Monday!

After spotting this bag on Vanessa Hudgens, all Rebecca Minkoff fans have been going crazy over this bag! The bag is the Rebecca Minkoff Morning After Mini in Tangerine from the Spring 2008 collection. While the bag has not hit stores yet, it has already created a buzz. The color is not an in-your-face orange, rather a burnt orange that gives the perfect shade of color while being easy to wear. All I know is this version is super hot, and I am hoping I can get my hands on one when they are available! Inquire through Rebecca Minkoff and keep checking to see when the Spring 2008 bags will be on their site!

Rebecca Minkoff Matinee
Behind every Rebecca Minkoff handbag is a story. The Rebecca Minkoff Matinee bag is the perfect bag if you have a noon date, but also the perfect bag for everyday use. There are dual pockets on each end which allows for extra pockets and easy access while on the move. Rebecca implements the use of two colors on many of her bags, and on the Matinee she does this with the reversible pullbacks. Now this handbag is absolutely stunning in person! I gifted my sister with the sage green Matinee that I had a very hard time giving away. Dimensions are 17 in x 8 in x 8 in. The winter white Italian leather accented with rosegold leather is breathtaking. Buy through Rebecca Minkoff for $625.
