Credit where it’s due: the Kate Spade team is about as creative as is humanly possible. The new Cha-Cha-Chocolate Hazel Frame Shoulder Bag not only makes us voraciously hungry for something chocolately and hazelnutty (we’re lookin’ at you, Nutella), it also infuses our fall wardrobes with something bright, cheeky and wonderfully unexpected. From the playful, candy-colored stripes to the adorable …

… with an eye-catching detail, luxurious leather, great construction or even a sequin or two. This Kate Spade Chacha Chocolate Bon Shopper has my mouth watering for a completely different reason. I actually went to go grab a piece of Halloween candy after I looked at it because it turned on a chocolate craving I didn’t know I had. It’s a darn cute bag, but I think it would be too dangerous to use – I’d pack on five pounds after carrying it for a week! Available at Kate Spade for $145. …

… New York.  Shown above, the winning handbag is called the “Laced Julia” and is made of soft, chocolate brown leather, with crisscross lace detail and a clam shape.  The bag is part of Follis’ Fall 2010 collection and will be released in September.  Catherine Meyer is the designer of the Follis line, and she beat out over 900 entries to win the title of “Best Handbag in Overall Style and Design”.  Aside from bragging rights, the win also allows Follis to team up with the …

While Kate Spade has used this print on a few other styles in her handbag line, it seems to really dress up this casual tote. If you’re looking for a cool beach bag that isn’t limited to just the sun and sand, the Harmony Floral Vinyl Tote Bag seems to have a dual personality. The shiny vinyl exterior provides a nice maintenance-free background for the lacy Japanese floral pattern. But when you …

One glance at this new offering from Kate Spade and I was completely sold. Not only does the Hopper House Framed Darcy Shoulder Bag absolutely glow in vibrant orange, it also exudes a wonderfully light-hearted spirit that makes it a joy to carry. Seriously – there’s no way your mood couldn’t be brightened by this on your arm. The addition of the pink bauble kiss-lock closure is the perfect, unexpected finishing touch. …

Sporty stripes lend this Kate Spade Foley Square Sophie Tote a bold, standout appearance that is right in line with one of summer’s most beloved trends. It’s also available in black if you happen to prefer a more subdued palette, but this functional carryall is especially beguiling in this fun berry-red shade. Packed with pockets, it’s just as appropriate for a day at the office as a run-of-the-mill weekend. Find …

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen have been producing successful women’s clothing collection for fashion label The Row for the past four years, but recently sisters have started to engage in the creation of accessories. However, the growing popularity of The Row led to a full line of fashionable handbags . In August The Row accessories collection will debut …

Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, once known for being super cute on the TV sitcom Full House have blossomed into fashion moguls. While I appreciate their drive in creating a fashion brand for themselves, I won’t hesitate to say that more often than not, their own personal styles could use an adjustment. Luckily their wardrobe faux pas only apply to their personal style. Their fashion line, The Row, …

Topped with a signature gilded pineapple clasp, this sleek, glossy bag is etched with a fun print inspired by those sultry evenings spent sipping cocktails on some fabulous island. Oh, to live that kind of life every day of the year! With this in your …

I swear that I’m obsessed with approximately 90% of Kate Spade‘s spring/summer collection so far. I seem to recall saying something similar last year, which can only be good for Kate Spade and bad for me. Good thing I have some semblance of self control or I’d probably be dropping a cool $378 on the equally cool Wicker Park Sherri, an unusual rounded tote made from both rope and wicker. It’s trimmed with only a hint of leather, but its main …
