Purses for Halloween!

A very Happy Halloween to you all! Vlad and I have been out wandering our neighborhood, which is known for the best trick-or-treating on the East side of Fort Lauderdale. And we were total party poopers, as we were not dressed up. Our house on the other hand, has massive 3 ft spiders crawling about … Read more

Miu Miu Patch Shoulder Bag

This is yet another one of those handbags where I don’t really know where to start. At first glance, the Miu Miu Patch Shoulder Bag has just too much going on. Now, I don’t think it is quite as busy as the Bottega Veneta Woven Boston handbag Megs covered just a couple days ago, but … Read more

Gucci Tribeca Medium Shoulder Bag

I feel like I’ve been kind of a Negative Nancy lately, so I hopped on Saks.com hoping to write about something I really like for you guys. Unfortunately, instead of doing that, I have to be negative again. And it’s all Gucci’s fault. The Gucci Tribeca Medium Shoulder Bag is a disaster. Of epic proportions. … Read more

Introducing: Ellie Handbags

We all love our favorite designers. You know, those designers we’ve followed since as long as we can remember. But, I have to say, I love keeping an eye out for up and coming designers and here is one I’d love to share, Ellie Handbags. As so many of us spend most of our time … Read more

Giorgio Brato Distressed Leather Bag

There is something comforting about distressed leather. I don’t know if it is the fact distressed leather can look so no-nonsense or hassle free, but I like it. The Giorgio Brato Distressed Leather Bag is one that demonstrates how amazing distressed leather can look if it is worked with diligently. If a designer isn’t careful, … Read more

Bottega Veneta Woven Boston

Bottega Veneta Woven Boston Even great designers can do wrong. There are some designers who produce bags that I typically adore, and one of these brands is Bottega Veneta. But what happens when a bad look comes from a good brand? The Bottega Veneta Woven Boston is created with multicolor woven leather stripes against black … Read more

Looking for Some Stud in Your Life?

Some of the many things I love about handbags are the various additions to the bags designers use. Of course, the overall style and look of the bag draws me one way or another, but the attention to detail and use of something different always catches my eye. Over at Luxaholics, celeb trends, sightings and style are discussed daily. I’m sure as most of you check out celeb images you start to notice trends within individual looks. I tend to notice certain celebs favor handbags with certain flare and the two that continue to stand out the most would have to be fringe and studding. As most of you know, I have a hard time finding a bag with the right amount of fringe for my taste, however, studding is a different story.

There are some fabulous handbags out there with amazing stud detailing. When it comes to fringe, I stand by less is more, but I don’t think this is necessarily the case with studs. Plus, studding always makes me think I am tapping into my “bad girl” side. And let’s be honest, who doesn’t like to flaunt her bad girl side from time to time? The Mary Norton Sceptre Baton Clutch (pictured above) is a highly sophisticated way to show off studding. This clutch is studded with semi-precious onyx and tiger’s eye ontop of brushed gold AND Swarovski crystal details. Now, this stud of a bag will set you back a bit, but you can buy it through Saks for $2,995.

Prada Leopard Calf Hair Large Bowler Bag

I’ve been having an animal print moment lately, and I’m not sure why. Maybe it started several months ago when I saw that gorgeous Stephen Sprouse for Louis Vuitton leopard print scarf, or maybe some innate part of me just wants to spruce up the sheer enormity of my collection of black clothes (last count … Read more

Kara Ross Luxus Clutch

I mentioned earlier today on Purse Blog Savvy that I spent this past weekend in Vegas. I am going to sum up my trip by simply saying I love it there. There is always so much to see and to do that you really might get home needing another vacation. But more importantly, I couldn’t … Read more

Nancy Gonzalez Flat Clutch

Nancy Gonzalez Flat Clutch I’ve seen a lot of clutches lately with this new-fangled (old-fangled? Seems like it might be a vintage throwback) cut-out handle, and I’m not sure I support the idea. It looks cute, naturally, but I’m an under-the-armpit clutch carrier, not an in-my-hand one, and clutches with the cut-outs might present a … Read more
