Tory Burch continues to produce new and improved handbags. Perhaps I shouldn’t say improved, but to me, they are. I had hit my breaking point when it came to Tory Burch bags with the logo splashed all over them. I tend to be that way. I can handle, even appreciate certain things over and over again but then, I hit a breaking point, a point of no return where I simply don’t want to see another that I might expect. This bag is definitely not one that I would expect to be Tory Burch.

Botkier Brooklyn Snake Cross Body Hobo
While I don’t consider this bag to be a hobo, I do like it. Botkier is known for infusing various elements in order to put together an ingenious design. Ok, so the design here itself isn’t something that you’ve never seen before, but the detailing involved helps this bag stand out. The combination of the snake-embossed leather and gathering details along the front of the bag are the two aspects that caught my attention.

Tommy Ton, from Jack & Jill blog, hit the streets around New York Fashion Week to photo journal what was happening outside of the tents. One of my favorite photos is the closeup shot of a woman carrying her black Crocodile Hermes Kelly Pochette. The closeup accessory photo exudes elegance. More photos from Tommy Ton … Read more
Juicy Couture Studded Patent-Leather Clutch
You’ve heard me me say this time and time before – I am not a fan of Juicy Couture handbags. I’m just not. They seem far too over the top for my liking. There are way too many bells and whistles for me to deal with. Call me a minimalist, but I don’t need my handbag to virtually jump out at people who pass by. Now, no sooner do I say that do I introduce a Juicy Couture bag that dare I say… l like!?!
Marc by Marc Jacobs Totally Turnlock Jacquetta Satchel
Here is the latest installment of the Totally Turnlock family. Each time that I cover a Marc by Marc Jacobs Totally Turnlock bag I wonder if it is going to be the last for a little while. It has nothing to do with the fact that I don’t like these bags, in fact, it is quite the opposite. Each Totally Turnlock bag has the signature turnlock yet each one is definitely its own bag and has its own personality. No matter what size, shape or color, purchasing one of these bags will be a great investment.
Judith Leiber Rabbit Clutch
Last night I was watching Ace of Cakes with Duff Goldman (typically I am a Cake Boss gal). Duff and his crew were prepping a cake for the Oprah show and they decided to make an enormous cherry pie piece with a scoop of ice cream on top, because the group is known for making cakes in the shapes of food. Just as much as Duff Goldman and Charm City Cakes are known for food shaped cakes, Judith Leiber is known for animal shaped crystal clutches.
From Judith Leiber we have seen a peacock, jaguar, camel and elephant. The latest animal clutch that I want to feature is the Judith Leiber Rabbit Clutch, one of the most wearable of the animal pieces I have seen from the brand.

This week Glamour wanted to focus on my wedding day accessories which was perfect timing as tomorrow is our one year anniversary. While most brides focus on their bouquet, many of my wedding day photos focused on my and … Read more
Chanel Temporary Tattoos
Well, we have seen it all. I have never quite understood the allure of a design house venturing into the foray of athletic equipment or other random accessories, but at least it gives us a talking point. We have seen a $17,000 Chanel Bicycle and a Chanel Segway and now we have Chanel temporary tattoos. Only they have decided to name it ‘temporary skin art’, as if that changes it all and makes the price tag seem less-ridiculous.
Bumble Diaper Bags Chloe Convertible Bag
I know we usually stick to talking about handbags most of the time. However, every now and again there are some bags that have to be shared. We’ve talked about luggage bags, computer cases and diaper bags.
Well, lately, it seems like more and more of my friends are getting pregnant. So, perhaps it is because pregnancies and babies are on my mind, but I came across this bag and had to share!
See by Chloe Ring Around Lambskin Shoulder Bag
Once again, here is a perfect example of a bag that almost made it, but fell just a bit short. So close… yet so far away. I want to like this See by Chloe Ring Around Lambskin Shoulder Bag, I really do, but there are a couple things that continue to make me cringe.
As many of you know by now, I am a huge fan of the color blue. So, for the most part that means a blue handbag has won at least half of me over. But, once I get passed that, I find myself highly conflicted over this bag.
Jimmy Choo Embossed Rikki Shoulder Bag
I was looking back at some of the bags I’ve been covering lately and it seems like most of them are rather structured and classic in nature. So, no wonder I’ve spent much of my day thus far drooling over bags that have more of an edgy feel to them. Case in point, this Jimmy Choo Bag.
As soon as I started looking at this bag, I was taken back to the last time I was in a Jimmy Choo store and how many fabulous edgy bags they have. It is always great to find a bag that makes a name for itself before you even know what name is on the label.
