Celebrity fashion continues to drive home the fact that LA and NYC are polar (vortex) opposites, but the bag picks of half-frozen supermodels and bare-armed actresses on both coasts are always choice, even when the weather is less than idyllic. In related news, the Givenchy Mini Pandora has emerged as this week’s “bag for all seasons.”

The Many Bags of New York Fashion Week Fall 2015’s Celebrity Attendees
New York Fashion Week has (almost) come to another close, and while we’ve got more coverage of the bags we saw on the runways on the way, we first wanted to look back at the bags that paparazzi captured outside the shows–those on the arms of the week’s most famous attendees.

Introducing the Dior Diorama Bag
The accessory market is always shifting; slowly, one designer moves up the ranks while another movies down and trends ebb and flow.

Mansur Gavriel Debuts New Styles and Colors for Fall 2015

Now that MG has a solid foothold in the consciousnesses of an army of bag lovers, the brand is expending carefully into new shapes, colors and leathers. I got to take a look at what’s next during the brand’s Fall 2015 presentation yesterday morning.

Ready or Not, Logo Bags are Primed for a Comeback
When I was first getting into designer bags in the early 2000s, designer bags were all the rage. All the most successful brands had monogram prints, and more often than not, their most popular bags were made out of those logo textiles. Then the It Bag era dawned, and things started to change.

Scandal Season 4, Episode 12: “It doesn’t matter how many times you reinvent your identity, Sallie Mae still finds you.”
I’ve been sitting here and thinking about it for a little while, and the only way I can think to introduce today’s Scandal recap is this: Last night, we learned why it’s a bad idea to conspire with terrorist kidnappers to sell yourself to whoever wants to extort action out of the President of the United States.
