Way back in November, we finally were able to place a name to a face—er, a bag—when Louis Vuitton released information on one of its most anticipated new styles. We saw the Petite Boîte Chapeau in the hands of celebs and Instagram style stars for months, but the public wasn’t privy to any of its … Read more
Years ago, I wanted to get a Saint Laurent Sac de Jour Bag. I always liked the bag and was intrigued when the brand introduced a slouchier version of the popular classic. But as much as I liked it, I never fell in love with it enough to purchase one. The shape was a little … Read more
Traditionally, when I think of Bottega Veneta, I think of two types of bags: work bags and evening bags. That’s not to say that the brand hasn’t long made plenty of casual options, of course, but Bottega’s target customer has always been a woman with a place to be, whether it’s the office or a … Read more
Do they put a little Chanel in the swag bags at Cannes, do you think? Because everyone is on a Chanel kick once again this week.

While I can’t pinpoint the exact reason behind my anti-wicker attitude, what I can tell you is that my style isn’t overly girly or super feminine, and in the past, most bags … Read more

In reality, though, it makes … Read more
When Sienna Miller and her family relocated to New York City a couple years ago, she was instantly a New York paparazzi favorite. Like many of our very reliable NYC celebs, she spends a lot of time making her way around the city on foot, so she’s not all too hard to track down. She’s … Read more
Nothing gives me a case of the shoppies quite like a change of seasons. The temps are finally warming up here in NYC, which means I’m finally able to start breaking out my old favorites like my go-to flow-y dresses, sleeveless tops and lived-in denim shorts. I rely on my accessories—but mainly my handbag—to spruce … Read more
Basically, everyone is at Cannes this week (including a lot of photogs who generally populate our photo service, apparently). But here are some people who skipped Cannes this year (and most years) and were probably just really excited that it was so much easier to get a table at Craig’s this week, or snag an … Read more
