PurseBlog Asks: The Bag(s) You Know You Don’t Need, but You Want…

Jun 18, 2014 by Megs Mahoney Dusil

Let’s be honest: most bags on our wishlists aren’t “needs,” they’re “wants.” Some of them we want because they fill a gap in our accessories wardrobe, and others we want because they are pretty to look at. Some bags are much more usable and functional, while others are just fun to own. Some bags are … Read more

Want It Wednesday: Summer Beauty Essentials

Jun 18, 2014 by Amanda Mull

I can still barely believe that I looked up yesterday and we were well into mid-June; it hasn’t been especially hot in New York (thank god), so it’s been easy to slide by in a spring frame of mind well into June. It hit 90 degrees in Manhattan yesterday, though, and that means we won’t be able to ignore the practical concerns of summer much longer. Today, those concerns are at the center of our Want It Wednesday picks – below, you’ll find all the products on our shopping lists to beat the summer heat.

Marc Jacobs Turns Over a New Handbag Leaf for Resort 2015

Jun 17, 2014Jun 17, 2014 by Amanda Mull

While Marc Jacobs was practically printing money at Louis Vuitton, things at his own line, especially his handbag line, got a little bit…stale. After the brand enjoyed huge success with its hit Stam Bag in the mid-2000s, little in the way of a true hit materialized to take the brand into the post-It Bag era. Now that Jacobs has left Vuitton to bolster his own brand in advance of an IPO, its handbags are being overhauled, and that starts with Marc Jacobs Resort 2015.

Jun 16, 2014 by Amanda Mull

Last week, while we were discussing celebrity handbag placements, one of our comments mentioned the Michael Kors Vivian Bag and her budding interest in it.

Man Bag Monday: Man Pouches from the MR PORTER Sale

Jun 16, 2014 by Amanda Mull

Fancy men’s clutches are, perhaps predictably, a bit of a tough sell. Even for the most progressive of fashion bros, they don’t always have an intuitive place in a wardrobe. (After all, how often do women, who are far more conditioned to bag-carrying, even use them?)
