January is on its way out, and we are wrapping it up in style. This week’s terrible weather sent us in search of boots and scarves. We got sidetracked looking for scarves in Hermès, and we found some pretty wonderful goodies for you in the process. Join our visits to Valentino, the Beauty Bar, Hermès and more!

Scandal Season 4, Episode 10: “I’m Going to Save Us. I’m Olivia Pope.”
If you’re a longtime reader of PurseBlog, you know that we’ve recapped lots of different shows over the past five years. Starting today, I’m trying my hand at one of my personal favorites–Scandal. We originally picked it because Olivia Pope has such a stellar handbag collection, but unfortunately, our girl Liv spent most of last night’s mid-season premiere in a cell without proper access to Prada.

Should I Keep My Saint Laurent Bag?
I know what you all must be thinking (that I’m crazy for even thinking about this), but hear me out. Last week, all of you helped me make a very important decision. I was stuck between two going-out bags, one from Saint Laurent, the other from Chanel. After writing the post and reading all your comments, the decision was a no-brainer. I went out and bought the Saint Laurent and then went home that night and started wearing my new bag around my house. After wearing it for a bit, I started to notice something.

This Week, Celebrities Headed to Sundance and Couture Shows–Check Out Their Bags
If you’re a film buff, you’re probably aware that the Sundance Film Festival is taking place as we speak. If you’re not a film buff, you’re probably vaguely aware of Sundance because it’s the one week of the year when all of your favorite celebs are randomly photographed wearing parkas and standing next to scenic, snowy mountain vistas. But not everyone gets sucked into Sundance vortex, of course; some celebs prefer to never, ever be seen wearing a parka, and so they are thusly confined to LA and NYC.
Want It Wednesday: Our Snow Day Survival Picks
As you might imagine, the New York-based section of the PurseBlog team spent the day at home with our laptops yesterday, despite the fact that the snow storm wasn’t quite as apocalyptic as we had anticipated (and for that, we are thankful). It did give us some time to think about our ideal snow day activities, though, and we’ve listed our essentials for surviving a minor blizzard below.
A Close Look at the Beautiful Details of Chanel’s Spring 2015 Bags
We spend a lot of time looking at bags and sharing beautiful photos of bags around here. We review bags, we swoon over bags, we buy bags. One of the best parts of some of my favorite bags are in the details; a close look at the leather or the stitching gives you an insight into the bag you may not have seen before.
Coach’s Adorable Spring 2015 Bags are Now Available
I’ve been excited for Coach’s Spring 2015 handbags to arrive ever since I saw them at the brand’s runway show back in September; the collection felt modern and light-hearted, like it could bridge the gap between the brand’s longtime fans and the fashion-forward audience that Coach hopes to attract. The collection also includes the brand’s latest artist collaboration, Coach x Baseman.
