Designer Handbags

Charm bracelets have never been so fab! Back a few years ago the Italian Charm Bracelets were rockin the streets with every which gurl out and about had at least one to flaunt. In case you really haven’t noticed that has all changed!  It’s all about the charms that dangle and now they are not confined to only your wrists.  Juicy Couture has been leading this revolution for quite some time now.  They’re jewelry is exactly what Pam and Gela wanted from their line- ultra fem perfection! Seeing these charms reminded me of Chloe’s Handbag collection that sported charming little charms on the zipper; they were oh so cute. I wonder why they stopped with that!

Juicy Couture is not only fabulously lux but also fabulously affordable.  You think ‘cause its sold mostly in Neiman Marcus or Nordstrom that you are in for spending a few pretty pennies, but that is so not the case. So, this blog is a special tribute just for Juicy Couture Accessories!

Like the Nicholes- Nichole Kidman and Richie- I am a major Balenciaga buff! I love their sheek handbags, lux clothing, and formerly fab heels.  The key there is formerly! Lately they’re shoe collections have been way to bold for me and pretty much any average chic.  I’m not so sure they should be called high-fashion to be quite frank.

Come on take a peek at those babies; don’t they just look like they jumped off a bad artist’s canvas!  I will give anything a go once, but what should I pair those with?

I think I will go back to Balenciaga when they decide to come to their more classy and posh look and start designing dazzling beauties like this Balenciaga Frame Bag or Black Snake Skin Sandal. 

Armani pioneered another fab idea- creating a virtual Armani Manzoni on Second Life.  Armani decided to “mirror” his Manzoni boutique in a virtual 3-D realm- way cool, I know! His virtual realm is an exact replica of the actual Manzoni with two restaurants, a bookstore, a flower shop, a home-interiors store, a nightclub, a cosmetics counter, and a confectionery corner all accounted for. Armani has taken shopping to a whole new level with this experience, and is way worth the few bucks spent on becoming a Second Life resident. I would suggest joining and looking for this avatar as it is Armani’s virtual representation checking up on his boutique. It’s amazing how fast you get sucked you into the whole experience. Oh and as a FYI you can purchase the items using Second Life currency; how awesome is that! But of course there is a link to the Emporio Armani site for those of us who like a bit more tangibility in our purchases.

Some say she is stuck up, but I absolutely adore Katherine Heigl. Let me rephrase that a little, I adore the character Katherine Heigl plays on Grey’s Anatomy, the lovely Izzie Stevens (except for the whole breaking up a marriage, not fond of that) also love her character in Knocked Up and even in 27 Dresses. If I had it my way, she and I would meet and she would be all three of these characters combined; ultimately resulting in her being one of the coolest people around. Right now the cool Heigl is in Madrid touring Europe and promoting her latest film, 27 Dresses. Her sense of style is simplistic; casual and laid back but still looking put together. We have watched Katherine transition from jeans and a tee during the day to a gown at night, but what I love to watch is her handbag choices. And while she has been in Europe she has been spotted carrying a ‘mystery bag’ to some. Upon first glance I *knew* I have seen this bag before. Sure she removed the flower, but Katherine Heigl is carrying a Zufi Alexander Kiss Me Baby. If you remember, we gave away a Zufi Alexander Python bag back in October. I am happy to see this designer fan base growing, as these handbags are stunning and great for everyday wear. I originally learned about Zufi Alexander from Sari Brown who owns Lux Couture, one of our favorite online e-tailers, who sponsored the giveaway. Check with Lux Couture to see if she will carry more Zufi Alexander bags, but for now, visit their website HERE. The Zufi Alexander Kiss Me Baby that Katherine is wearing retails for $1250

Anyone knows how much lindsay weights in that black tank top and jeans picture?she looks great and the bag is beautiful…I am so over LiLo. I have no idea what this girl is doing, haven’t cared to read about her, and the last I heard she is broke. But her pictures find their way to my computer and pop out at me, and then I LOOK! at them! At least most of the time I am checking out what she is wearing rather than wondering what she is doing. Rebecca Minkoff handbags are catching on and been seen on some of Hollywood’s gals (including Hayden Panettiere). And Lindsay Lohan is no stranger to the latest and greatest in the handbag world and has been seen all over Utah sporting the Rebecca Minkoff Morning After Bag. I have always loved this bag and that little annoying girl LiLo is sporting it in the pre-order only Black w/ Basket Weave version. I am envious of her having her hands on this bag before me, but I think I will pre-order this beauty. It adds the perfect dimension to an already great handbag.
Looks like a good functional bag that would match many of my outfits. The price is great, I think I will be getting one. I hope the quality is good though..must start researching this brand..

She is naturally gorgeous. Even with her hair a hot mess and no make up she is beautiful. Love Lauren Conrad style.Only in today’s day and age can a teenager become famous by appearing on a scripted reality show. The Laguna Beach turned Hills star, Lauren Conrad, has been riding a high since MTV decided to cast film her and her life. While her internship at Teen Vogue is over, LC has ventured off on her own and now is designing clothing. Too bad her ex-boss, the genius Lisa Love, thinks her line is “more T-shirt kind of things and jeans, very simple basics.” Ouch! Love did not have great things to say about Lauren, especially about her love of partying, but the show must move on. Lauren Conrad has paired up with Linea Pelle to design her own line of handbags. She has been seen sporting the bags herself, but the wait is on to hear whether those in the fashion world think her bags are fab or drab. She designed three bags; the LC Tote, the LC coin purse, and the LC Clutch.

Cameron Diaz is always making headlines,I like this kind…is cute to short events.
but at many times lays low with her personal life. While we see pictures of her from time to time, typically they are of her leaving a restaurant, the gym, or surfing with her best friends in Hawaii. Last week Cameron was spotted leaving dinner carrying her LAMB Carlisle Clutch designed by Gwen Stefani. The Carlisle clutch is a staple for Stefani, as the bag doubles as a clutch or carried flat with handle. Gwen Stefani has become a hit in the fashion world with her LAMB line. Her bags are edgy and out-there, just as her own personal style is. Cameron Diaz wore the LAMB Cheetah Carlisle Clutch (which is currently cold out) which featured coated canvas with printed logo and cheetah pattern and is trimmed with grained leather. While the version Diaz wore is sold out, there is a multicolored version and original version at eLuxury for $425 each.

I like how the bag can be used with straps for everyday, and you can also remove them to be a clutch for the evening.Stylish actress Cameron Diaz is normally better known for her super laid back style rather than being a groundbreaking fashion icon, yet here she is proudly toting her new bag from L.A.M.B on her way out to dinner! The bag in question is the Signature Carlisle Large Clutch in Cheetah, and adds a much needed element of glamour to Cam’s pared down style.
