Marc by Marc Jacobs Softy City Bag

May 12th, 2009

Marc by Marc Jacobs bags are only a part of the clothing and accessories collections by this designer.  I'm not a big fan of wearing designer clothes, but when it comes to handbags and shoes, I have to admit my weakness for several brands such as Coach, Vera Bradley, Cole Haan or Marc Jacobs. However, I don't buy a new bag every week, not even every month. For summer 2009, I've spotted the elegant Marc Jacobs Softy City Bag vertical satchel, as a great choice for an office bag that's large enough to fit my mini notebook inside, while being elegant. ...

The New Silver Lavender Op Art Large Sabrina Shoulder Bag

May 11th, 2009

My colors for year 2009 are definitely fuchsia, purple, lilac, violet, white and black. With all my new clothin g outfits matching these tones, it's easy to see that my relationship with the new Op Art Large Sabrina in silver and lavender from Coach was love at first sight. The Op-Art print fabric was already my favorite, but in this color I think it looks absolutely gorgeous. As it features two tones of lavender, I can match my bag with two colors of sandals. For evening parties, I've bought a pair of high heel silver sandals and I can tell ...

The New Op Art Graphic Sabrina Coach Bag: Day to Day Style

May 11th, 2009

Starting last year, I noticed a shift in my preferences when it comes to bags: I like more and more the fabric bags. Not that the leather ones are uglier, but it's just a feeling that I'm saving some animals if I buy either PVC or textile bags. I'll give you only one such example of bag that saves leather: the new Op Art Graphic Sabrina from Coach. It is made of high quality fabric, with leather trim, and it offers two options for wearing it: as a handbag and as a shoulder bag, as it has a 22" convertible ...

Coach Cricket Swingpack: New for Summer 2009

May 11th, 2009

Many modern women feel like having a bag that's small, but with enough room for common items such as keys, mobile phone, wallet and make-up kit. Such a purse should offer the possibility to be worn cross body or like a shoulder bag, because we need our hands to be free for many things when shopping, for example. In the new Coach Cricket Swingpack I found all these characteristics that make a light purse for my shopping trips down town. The 46" webbed strap is just what I needed to feel free and the zip top closure offers me safety, ...

The spring - summer season of 2009 brought us many new clothing accessories from all famous designers, an example being the Burberry summer 2009 bags collection. Bags and shoes are in top, as there are so many new collections launching every day, that we need to be millionaires to be able to buy everything that we like.

The new Burberry bowling bag is a good example in this respect: this bag is in classic check with front reversed pleat, rolled leather handles and leather trim. I remember ...

Isabella Fiore Blossom Hobo

May 4th, 2009

Isabella Fiore handbags can either be loved or hated. There's no middle way, as they are so striking original that they amaze me every time I see a new model or a new collection. That's what happened when I saw the Isabella Fiore "Blossom" hobo: it really looks like a blossoming flower, with its braided drawstring ending with cute tassels and with its goldtone dome studs. The hobo has magnetic closure, but thanks to the drawstring, the unauthorized access inside is restricted. The two exterior buckled pockets look very cute and they are quite practical, provided that you don't want ...

Coach Cricket Handbags Collection

May 1st, 2009

Starting at $298 (at least on the official Coach website), the new Cricket Bags collection is as complete as any girl or woman would like. You can find there bags for all occasions and for all fashion styles. The new Cricket leather satchel is made of an excellent, lightweight leather with fabric lining. The beauty of this Coach bag is the contrasting leather trim, which makes the bag look a little bit vintage, yet contemporary. There are four color combinations available: brass/putty/white, white/silver and black with silver hardware. The outside front pocket has a turnlock closure, which makes it not ...
