Best Bet: The Cambridge Satchel Poppy Top Handle is the Best Bag Under $200

Jul 21, 2016 by Amanda Mull

It’s exceedingly rare that I peruse a fashion retailer’s new arrivals and think to myself, “Whoa, that’s a good deal.” Even when it comes to contemporary designs, bags usually look more or less as expensive as they are, and when they don’t, we try to document the fashion world’s rare good values in as much … Read more

It’s safe to say all of us here at PurseBlog are big fans of Gucci. Amanda and Megs frequently mention their favorites from the brand, and one of my favorite bags in my own collection is my Gucci Soho Shoulder Bag. And we’re not the only ones; within the Gucci subforum, our PurseForum members are … Read more

Louis Vuitton’s Super Popular Rolling Luggage Just Got a Whole New Look

Jul 20, 2016 by Amanda Mull

It should shock no one who knows the history of Louis Vuitton that the brand’s luggage is still an enduring, functional favorite of luxury travelers (and plenty of globetrotting celebrities) the world over–after all, the company got its start by building custom travel solutions for European royals and nobility. Thankfully, you don’t have to have … Read more

Celebs Do Their Best to Get By with an Assist from Chloé, Moschino, Chanel and More

Jul 20, 2016 by Emily Anderson

Celeb photos stress me out sometimes. For example, Ariel Winter is now legally old enough to get into certain clubs, which could get really weird, really fast. One of our favorite bag collectors is going through what is undoubtedly a very tough break-up this week, and a certain celeb’s Victoria Beckham get-up has me deeply, … Read more

My 20 Favorite Items From the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Jul 19, 2016 by Megs Mahoney Dusil

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is probably my favorite sale of the year, aside from finding a random amazing bag deal at a sample sale or by chance. One of the biggest stressors for me, and I’m sure others, is sorting through the sale items and making sure I find not only great deals but also what I’m looking for. Lucky for you, I narrowed down some of my favorite items for you!

RHOC: “This is like doing Botox, it’s so fun!”

Jul 19, 2016Jul 19, 2016 by Amanda Mull

I love to make fun of the oft-used Real Housewives trope of structuring episodes around some sort of party that unifies the group and allows the plot to advance, but episodes that don’t lead up to that sort of conclusion do tend to feel a little bit more scattered and less dramatic. Last night’s episode, … Read more

In Praise of Summer Suede Sandals, Every Celeb’s Summer 2016 Style Secret

Jul 19, 2016 by Katherine Callaghan

Anyone who says suede shoes are solely a fall and winter staple shouldn’t be trusted, at least when it comes to wardrobe advice. Summer suede is in full force this season, at least when it comes to accessories, and we’re here to tell you not to be afraid. The sound might be initially off-putting, but … Read more

PurseBlog Asks: Which Popular Bag is Ready for Retirement?

Jul 19, 2016 by Amanda Mull

First and foremost, let me say that I have come here this morning without any malice for the beloved Chloé Marcie Bag. Its existence has made innumerable bag shoppers happy for years (it’s been around since 2009 at least, based on our own posts about it), and although I’ve never felt personally attracted to it, … Read more

Introducing the Burberry Patchwork Bag

Jul 18, 2016 by Megs Mahoney Dusil

Celebrities are lucky for a lot of reasons, not least of which because they often get their hands on a bag before we ever can. Personally, I’ve always liked that brands give bags out early to famous friends–it makes it easy for me to see a bag being worn and gage how it translates from stock image to real life. Burberry has always had a huge celebrity following, and while the brand’s bags have taken a bit of a backseat on PurseBlog recently, I was introduced to the Burberry Patchwork Bag and quickly fell for it. This bag has been seen on countless celebs already, and now it’s readily available to purchase for you and I; because no two styles are the same (each bag is one-of-a-kind!), this bag stands apart as one of fall’s best.

Because of the various and sundry wonders of the Internet, you can get a head start on yours via pre-order, and tons of Fall 2016 bags … Read more

Last Week, Celebs Showed Up with Bags from Louboutin, MCM, Gucci and The Row

Jul 18, 2016 by Emily Anderson

Last week, Real Housewives lunched together, up-and-coming supermodels dined together, Eva Longoria packed a Birkin and got out of Dodge, and several of our most glamorous celebs promoted their multiple movies or TV shows. (Because they can never have just one.) Collective celeb handbag preferences continue to branch out in both Gucci‘s and Christian Louboutin‘s … Read more
