Dolce & Gabbana’s New Boombox Bag Will Actually Play Your Music

Jun 30, 2016 by Amanda Mull

Over the past few years’ enormous trend for novelty accessories, bags have been made in the image of a lot of things: books, decks of playing cards, astrological symbols, leather jackets. Rarely do any of these bags also perform any of the functions of their aesthetic inspirations; after all, bags have a pretty specific functional … Read more

The Many Bags of Céline Dion

Jun 30, 2016 by Amanda Mull

Céline Dion seems like she has a great sense of humor. She’s also got the voice of an angel, sure, but over the arc of her fame, she’s always seemed happy, funny, sometimes even goofy–like she loves her fans and feels lucky and finds this whole fame thing sorta kooky. In a world of stars … Read more

We’re all gearing up for a much-needed holiday weekend and some outdoor fun, but before we move on to the 4th of July (and, therefore, the month of July), it’s time to take a look back into the recent past. After all, the best way to greet the future is with as much information as … Read more

Jun 29, 2016 by Katherine Callaghan

Sale season is a glorious time of year, there’s no doubt about that. Great prices on some of the industry’s most covetable brands–what’s not to love, right? Well, we’re currently in the second stage of markdowns, and while the prices are fantastic, size and color selections can be a bit precarious. We’re here to make … Read more

The 15 Things Amanda Wants in Her Closet for Summer 2016

Jun 29, 2016 by Amanda Mull

My favorite season is summer, but you wouldn’t necessarily know that by looking at me. Almost my entire wardrobe is black and I’m pretty pale, which is usually the hallmark of people who prefer things a little cooler. In truth, I used to be one of those people, but half a decade of New York … Read more

This Week, Celebrities Have Strong Feelings About Red Handbags (and, You Know, Probably Some Other Stuff)

Jun 29, 2016 by Emily Anderson

Celebrities have come together to make a clear statement about something they care very deeply about: red handbags. Is red symbolic? Is it meant to raise awareness about meaningful issues? No, absolutely not. It’s just extremely on-trend this week, and possibly this season. (We reserve the right to revise our opinion next week.) Also, some … Read more

RHOC: “You don’t talk about politics, you don’t talk about religion, you don’t talk about Vicki.”

Jun 28, 2016 by Amanda Mull

Maybe the tie that binds all Real Housewives the tightest, beyond a shared love of white wine and yelling, so their near-uniform preference for awful dudes. When you start sorting it out, bad taste in romantic partners accounts, either directly or indirectly, for an awfully large proportion of the tension, conflicts and eventual blowout fights … Read more

The 20 Best Under-$600 Bags of Pre-Fall 2016

Jun 28, 2016 by Amanda Mull

Even though we love designer bags (obviously), we’re all big believers in the idea that shoppers don’t need to spend four figures (or anywhere near it) in order to get a beautiful, well-made, expensive-looking bag that will serve them well for the season and beyond. The evidence on which we’ve based that belief is all … Read more

Get Ready: Mansur Gavriel’s Latest Restock is Happening Today

Jul 13, 2016Jun 28, 2016 by Amanda Mull

Mansur Gavriel has slowly increased its production and made its bags a little easier to get, but because the brand makes so many exterior/interior color combinations and most third-party retailers only select a handful for their own stock, getting the exact version you want of one of MG’s super popular bags can be tricky, if … Read more

Gucci Dionysus GG Blooms Medium Shoulder Bag

This Blue Gucci Dionysus GG Blooms Bag is Making Me Feel the Opposite of Blue

Jun 27, 2016 by Megs Mahoney Dusil

Right off the bat you know I love Gucci. I loved the bags before Alessandro took over including the Bamboo, Jackie Soft, and Lady Web and I’ve been on the edge of my seat with the new direction especially fond of the Dionysus. I wasn’t sure until I laid my hands on a Dionysus just how amazing it really was. In pictures the bag is pretty and different but when you actually get to try it out, you may find yourself just as in love as I am.
