I suppose there are worse ways to spend the night before Thanksgiving than fêting Martin Scorsese at a fancy MoMA benefit gala, but I’m still surprised this event got the star-studded turn-out that it did. (Don’t they have pies to make? No, that’s just me?) Paps also had no problem finding a plethora of celebrities … Read more
Black Friday and Cyber Monday are still major shopping events, but the online world has taken this kick-off-the-holidays shopping week to the next level, opening up sales well before Friday and extending them past Monday. There are really great deals to be had and I know I will be doing majority of my Holiday Shopping … Read more
Just in time for holiday shopping, Christie’s Auction House launched its latest online auction. The Christie’s Handbags & Accessories New York Winter Auction hits at a time when we are all actively shopping for those we love and ourselves included, or at the very least giving our ultimate wish-list to the people in our lives … Read more
It’s the day before Thanksgiving, you’re at the airport about to make your way to security. You begin to casually remove your camel coat, Acne scarf and ankle boots, when it hits you. You’ve brought your most cumbersome, delicate, handbag to the AIRPORT! Of all the cross bodies and wallets on chains, you opted for … Read more
Some celebs couldn’t wait until the holidays to gift themselves the latest, barely off-the-runway handbags this year. And who can blame them? The holidays are a high-profile time, and you want to be armed with your best bags–the ones that communicate to your extended family: Yes, I’m doing quite well, thank you! Or: Yes, I’m … Read more
Marc Jacobs has been a long time favorite designer of mine. I love the brand’s edgy, urban aesthetic and the man behind them. When it was announced that the brand was folding the Marc by Marc Jacobs line into the Marc Jacobs collection, I was surprised to say the least. Having owned bags from both … Read more
If you’re one of the select few that’s been anxiously awaiting the arrival of Hedi Slimane’s first collection than we’ve got a treat for you, and if you’re one of the many that’s been less-than-silently hoping this is all a sick dream—I’m sorry! You’ll have to see them eventually, maybe in a store near you, … Read more
Until recently I worked in a large office tower and every morning I’d see dozens of women (including myself!) coming to work with multiple mismatched bags. A purse, a tote bag, maybe a lunch bag and a gym bag. We’d all stand at the elevator, smile at each other and roll our eyes as if … Read more
The annual Guggenheim International Gala is a more traditional gala (if you’re an NYC-based celebrity accustomed to going to galas, that is) that celebrates key philanthropists and such. There are speeches, a seated dinner, live music and, of course, sponsors. This year the event just happened to be sponsored by Dior, so celebrities planned appropriately. … Read more
I was just ruminating earlier in the week about how we were in for a sleepy few weeks of celeb coverage during the holiday season, but celebs are, of course, proving me wrong today. They have new movies, shoe lines and premium cable series to promote, and they are not ready to go into holiday … Read more
Don’t say I didn’t warn you my friends, this new set of steals and deals is hot, hot, hot! We’re one week out from Black Friday—how is that humanly possible?—and yet I was still able to find some pretty good bag deals floating around. I have no business shopping for a bag right now after … Read more
I see so many bags just based on the nature of what it is that I do for a living, and it’s not often that I ‘meet’ a new bag and immediately know it will work for me. Growing my bag collection is a lot more calculated than it used to be, and I don’t … Read more
