Hilary Duff Departs Pilates with Alexander Wang on Her Arm
If we assess Hilary Duff’s life via paparazzi documentation, it all seems to be an endless string of baby play dates, farmer’s markets, and pilates classes. Oh, and really fabulous designer bags. Here’s Hilary leaving pilates class in LA (as one does), carrying an Alexander Wang Diego Bucket Bag. The Bucket certainly isn’t my favorite … Read more
The Many Bags of Lady Gaga
Oh, Lady Gaga. She’s just irrepressible, isn’t she? I used to be a major Gaga fangirl back in her early days (I went to see her for the first time long before she was playing arenas, I swear), but now she’s just kind of…tiring. And I like Katy Perry’s new single better. (Yeah, I said … Read more
Latest Obsession: The Loeffler Randall Rider Bag in Pink Calf Hair
Please believe me when I tell you that I am head-over-heels for this bright pink calf hair version of the Loeffler Randall Rider Bag. I’ve been a fan of this shape since Loeffler’s handbag line debuted a few seasons ago and even added a mini version to my collection this spring, and now it’s this … Read more
Sally Field Really, Really Likes Her Proenza Schouler Bag
Yes, this is Sally Field carrying a very trendy brown suede Proenza Schouler PS1 Pouch while shopping in Santa Monica. Not Diane Kruger or Ashley Olsen, mind you, but American acting legend Sally friggin’ Field. I consider this solid proof that the PS1 is already a bonafide classic. (And yes, when I use adjectives like … Read more
Want It Wednesday: Tory Burch, Smashbox and Olivia Von Halle
I can’t believe another week is more than halfway done. I’m not sure if I’ve been particularly busy this week or the last bits of summer are just slipping away more quickly than I’d like them to, but it seems like this week’s Want It Wednesday has come around at light speed. Below, find out what the PurseBlog team is craving today.
A Day in New York City with Coach Barbie
The Internet’s been abuzz about the coveted, limited edition Coach Barbie Doll for a week now, and in that time, we had the pleasure of spending a day getting to know this in-demand doll around the city. We joined her for a day in New York City, from hailing a cab, to lounging in Central Park, to taking in the bright lights of Times Square.
What did we learn? The Coach Barbie is a fashion icon, from her red Coach Classic Duffle to her tailored Coach Tattersall Trench Coat. She’s everything you’d expect – the Coach girl come figuratively alive in miniaturized Barbie Doll form. Every detail is taken into account to make the combination of brands perfect, making this the first Barbie I’ve coveted in years. The Coach Barbie Doll makes a great collector’s item, but collectors already knew that – the doll is currently sold out and going for more than twice its original retail price of $95 on auction sites.
Didn’t get your hands on one? Fret not – you can still follow us on a tour of New York City to our favorite locations with our new favorite Barbie Doll!
Why Do Designer Handbags Cost So Much, Anyway?
I recently had occasion to try and recall what the price of a Louis Vuitton Speedy Bag was during my college years, which weren’t so long ago, and only when I came up with the number of $560 did I realize how quickly designer handbag prices have crept up in those intervening eight years. (I’m … Read more

Real Housewives of Orange County Season 8 Reunion, Part 2
I guess I forgot that Real Housewives of Orange County had so much drama to cover. Normally I’m bored by the middle installment of a three-part reunion, but I found myself reasonably entertained last night, from Gretchen’s manila folder full of tweets (how do you even print a tweet?) to Lydia’s explanation of why she … Read more
Like Her Sister, Elle Fanning Loves Her Celine Trio Bag
Ten years ago, the Fanning sisters had a complete lockdown on every premium child acting role in the biz.
