Dear Millie, I am attempting to catch back up to make these letters more timely, but that didn’t happen, and you’ll learn that I march to the beat of my own drum. I told you last month that month ten was a doozy, and it was! We were only home from our Cincinnati Children’s Hospital … Read more
It’s not a stretch to say that the Louis Vuitton Neverfull Tote is one of the most popular handbags in the known universe. It’s not one of Louis Vuitton’s oldest designs (it debuted in 2007, as opposed to bags like the Alma and Speedy, which have been around for generations), but it filled a huge … Read more
Making a metallic bag look expensive and luxurious can be a tough needle to thread. If you get the tone, texture, color or shine off, even by a little bit, things start to look really cheap, really fast. And that’s just a regular metallic, like silver or gold—when you add in a color-shifting iridescent or … Read more
You all already know by now how much I love Mansur Gavriel. If I could have one of everything, I would. I might have to build a second closet to house it all, but I totally, one-hundred-percent would take it. I love the modern, minimalistic feel to the bags, the myriad color choices, the craftsmanship … Read more
It’s unequivocally true that the older you get, the faster time moves, but it still seems to me like we’ve arrived to Resort 2018 pre-order season a little early. We haven’t, though—last year, my post about resort pre-orders actually came five days earlier than this one! And either way, here we are again, with a … Read more
We’re not sure what kind of truce SJP has struck with her (literal) neighborhood paparazzi, but the pics of her leaving her West Village home in NYC have really slowed down this year. But while we can’t depend on a constant influx of pics of Sarah Jessica Parker at her front door any more, her … Read more
When I first saw the money roll minaudiere come down the runway at Alexander Wang during the brand’s Spring 2018 show last month, I thought to myself, “Oh, that’s clever. Like an ironic Judith Leiber clutch for millennials.” As it turns out, that’s exactly what it was: society matron favorite Judith Leiber, the pioneer of … Read more
We’re a bit dazzled by the diverse selection of new bags celebs carried this week. This is practically a harvest-time cornucopia of luxe and surprisingly affordable designer styles, and a good portion of it is (comparatively) wallet-friendly. It is a fact universally acknowledged that not everyone who visits this blog is sitting comfortably in the … Read more
Welcome to late October, somehow! I’m not sure how we’ve ended up this deep into both the month and the year, but I do know that it’s Friday morning, and I also know what that means: another round of over a dozen of the best sale bags from around the internet. Since we’re far from … Read more
I’m not one to wear color. Ok, maybe that’s a bit of stretch—in the spring and summer, I branch out a little bit, but once the temp drops it’s back to black. It’s likely the New Yorker in me, and if I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times: I just love black! … Read more
I don’t think I’ve ever reacted to the announcement of a new handbag collection by saying “you’ve got to be kidding me” out loud to my laptop, but that’s exactly what happened when I realized artist Jeff Koons and his Masters collection of Louis Vuitton bags were back for more. I felt existentially terrorized by … Read more
I was in middle school when Coach became the Big Thing. I remember my first Coach piece: a classic ‘C’ wristlet in baby blue. It was enough to carry my middle school ID, lunch money and not much else. Later that year, for Christmas, my older brother gave me a small, bright pink Coach bag … Read more
