Zagliani Python Clutch

Sep 25, 2008 by Shannon Mahoney

Just the other day (meaning yesterday) as I was sitting here working, I glanced out the window and saw a snake on the windowsill. I wouldn’t say that I am 100% freaked out by snakes, but there is a part of me that gets really freaked out from time to time. Well, yesterday was one … Read more

Review: Salvatore Ferragamo Oversized Carlotta Alligator Tote

Sep 15, 2009Sep 25, 2008 by Megs Mahoney Dusil

Buy Salvatore Ferragamo at Saks

Salvatore Ferragamo may be known for shoes, but the new line of handbags has me swooning. Not just a little bit of love, but there is a heavy amount of lust, or yearning, of floating on cloud 9. Part of the problem that many of us face with Ferragamo handbags is that we do not see the full line, the entire array. If only there were the entire collection available at Saks or Neiman Marcus, I know the sales online would sky rocket.

The Ferragamo office in NYC decided to tempt Purse Blog in a way that is just wrong, sending us the Salvatore Ferragamo Oversized Carlotta Alligator Tote to review.

Burberry Laptop Messenger Bag

Sep 25, 2008Sep 25, 2008 by Shannon Mahoney

As most of you know, Megs, Vlad and I have been traveling for the past couple weeks. Finally, we are all settled in South Florida and trying to get back to our normal schedules. While I was traveling, I couldn’t help but notice the plethora of laptop bags in the airport. I swear, the only … Read more

Pringle of Scotland Kasia Slouch Tote

Sep 25, 2008Sep 25, 2008 by Amanda Mull

Pringle of Scotland may not be a name that everyone knows, but it might be a name everyone should learn. Once merely a luxury knitwear manufacturer (from Scotland, duh), they’ve now been acquired by new owners (in Hong Kong, I believe) and are trying to create a larger brand identity for themselves. I don’t know … Read more

RafÃ© New York Tracy Doctor’s Bag

Sep 24, 2008 by Shannon Mahoney

I’ve always been intrigued by traditional Doctor’s bags. You know the ones: black, boxy, filled with elixirs and such? Watch any movie that is set “back in the day” and if there is a house visit, the doctor is sure to come in with a stethoscope around his neck and a doctor bag. When Megs … Read more

Michael Kors Rehearsal Drawstring Bag

Sep 24, 2008Sep 24, 2008 by Shannon Mahoney

I’ve recently found myself wondering how much more attention Michael Kors and his line have received since the inception of Project Runway. We all know what a huge following Project Runway has. Then, when you think about it, every time Heidi Klum introduces the judges, including Kors, those watching must take note. Even if you … Read more

Juicy Couture Narda Houndstooth Bag

Sep 24, 2008Sep 23, 2008 by Amanda Mull

Hear me out on this one, folks. I know that Juicy Couture is not known for their amazing bags, but I think they’re on to something interesting with this one. The Narda Houndstooth Bag, to me at least, is somewhat of a rare bird. I spend such vast amount of time looking for handbags to write about that rarely does anything make me stop and go, “Wait…WHAT?” On first examination, the leather looks kind of randomly patchworked in black and brown (or in grey and ivory, which appears to not be available at the moment via Saks), sort of like any number of Miu Miu bags I’ve seen over the past few season. But then I read the name – and that’s where my “Wait…WHAT?” moment came – there’s a method to Juicy’s patchwork madness. Well, sort of, anyway. Maybe the pictures are just bad, but if you squint your eyes a bit, you can see it – the leather is actually pieced together to form an oversized houndstooth pattern. Brilliant…kind of.

Fendi Beaded Baguette Bag

Sep 23, 2008 by Shannon Mahoney

Wow – for a few reasons! Fendi is always a brand that catches my attention. I am not always that interested in the handbags because they tend to be too “loud” for my taste. But come on people, no matter what your taste is, it is Fendi; so how can you not at least glance … Read more

Nuti Medium Ostrich Hobo Bag

Sep 23, 2008 by Shannon Mahoney

I think I’ve mentioned this before, but I really have my sister, Megs, to thank for my increased awareness when it comes to all things handbag. As her love for handbags and accessories grew, I began to learn more and if nothing else, pay way more attention to trends. At the same time, I consider … Read more

Christian Louboutin Cancan Satin Clutch

Sep 23, 2009Sep 22, 2008 by Shannon Mahoney

So, I have a confession to make, I love karaoke. This past weekend while hanging out with some friends, the restaurant we were at turned into a karaoke bar and I have to say, it was a lovely surprise. Now, I don’t think I have the greatest of voices, but two of my best friends … Read more

Dior Circles Printed Tote

Sep 22, 2008 by Shannon Mahoney

It is official. Today is the first day of Fall. As much as I love cooler weather, changing leaves and Fall activities, I am always sad to see Summer go. Ok, sure, I live in South Florida so it’s not like the seasonal change is very noticeable, but having lived up North for 8 years, … Read more

Roberto Cavalli Metallic Bracelet Bag

Sep 22, 2008Sep 22, 2008 by Shannon Mahoney

After a wonderful trip, I am back in South Florida. LA was fantastic and I definitely look forward to my next trip out there! I didn’t get a chance to hit up any of the super trendy bars or clubs, but I couldn’t help but wonder what (and who) I might have seen. So, that … Read more
