Harajuku Lovers Of the Sea Backpack

… or the cutest. Sometimes my stuff was high fashion and sometimes it was things you would envision a little girl would have. I wouldn’t say I’m immature it just brought some life to the very boring college life I had. Plus the girls would always be mean to me to my face or behind my back talking about the accessories I had, the heels I wore, or how much of an idiot I must be to spend what I did on what I had. I can still remember to this day walking out of class and a girl yelling at me, …

ASOS Long Spot Clutch

Never mind the sloppy styling ASOS gives the Long Spot Clutch, it’s a darling bag. Instead of holding it mouth agape with an unflattering skirt (sorry, Ms. Model), I say you should play up this clutch’s retro spunk. Go pin-up by pairing it with a bright red lipstick and pencil skirt, or put on some skinny jeans or leggings with a brightly colored top to make it more 1980s. Leave the side ponytail at home though, please. It’s just $34.48 at …

Coach Classics: There’s Nothing Like Your First Time

Back in the seventies, before logo mania took over and you could spot a little Coach bag from a mile away by it’s C-covered fabric style, the company was known for its leather goods. Currently led by executive creative director and president Reed Krakoff, aiming to re-capture their core audience is a wise move. At an accessible price point and sold in literally every major store, for many girls Coach was their entry level designer bag. (There was a time when …

Fake Handbags: Shoppers May be Jailed for Purchasing Counterfeit Handbags

Alright, bagistas…it’s time for a serious talk. Fakes and counterfeits have got to go! Get that garbage out of your closets…or at least don’t buy anymore. Not only is it tacky and gross to be carrying around a "Pucci" or "Channel," but it hurts the branding that these multimillion dollar companies have worked so hard to create and maintain since their beginnings as early as 1850 (Louis Vuitton was …

Kate Spade Island Flor Melinda Satchel

So I happened to come across this bag a couple of days ago, flipped out and bought it on the spot. That’s kinda how I roll when I’m accosted by a to-die-for floral print, as anyone who knows me can attest. TheIsland Flor Melinda Satchel is pretty much the leader of garden variety bags right now, boasting an absolutely beautiful tropical print boosted by pops of apricot, mango and plum. Yummy as it sounds, …

Miu Miu Eel Embossed Clutch

Attention, exotic skin lovers! Direct your attention this way, please, and feast your eyes on the new Miu Miu Eel Embossed Clutch. The name says it all, but the bag itself doesn’t scream “crazy animal skin!” like, say, a python clutch would. The smudged, slightly mottled-looking grey eel skin does indeed appear sophisticated, and even more so with the minimal gold hardware adding a touch of polish to the mix. …

Vintage CHANEL Quilted Mini Backpack

Would you wear a designer backpack? My personal input towards back wear is neutral, reasons being that I have yet to spot something worthy of adding to my ever-changing wish list. Whoever initiated the backpack into a fashion accessory had a great concept, but fell short in making it practical. Most of the luxury designer selections out there arrive in petite form, incapable of holding much, and with excessive …

Schuler & Sons Hi-Lo Satchel

I am singing high and low (ha) over this Schuler & Sons Hi-Lo Satchel. The color is spot on for this season, and those metal flap restraints are hitting all the right notes. It is surprisingly deep for such a small frame and that speaks volumes (ha again). The Schuler & Sons Hi-Lo Satchel is available for $198 from Anthropologie.
