It’s not made of leather, though it does have a leather strap, and there isn’t a speck of brown anywhere to be seen, so this Crawford Hobo Bag from Be & D really throws off some of the more popular looks for handbags of the moment in favor of the clean, perfectly balanced pairing of black and white. The eye-catching zig zag pattern is done as a knit and the bag is lined in suede. It is unstructured and rather slouchy, with a single button closure at the top, so it’s great for pairing with jeans, …

We love Shu Uemura’s luxe eyelashes, but it is the flair with which the designer approaches them that really appeals to us, not necessarily the lashes themselves. That same spirit of fun and drama was applied to Shu Uemura’s Holiday Lip Kit.

Everything is packed in a red patent leather lip-shaped case that is equal parts Marilyn and Rocky and makes …

This Denim Logo Tote from Chloe is part of the designer’s spring resort collection, which means that it is still on preorder until March. That being said, with four months to go before the bag is released, there is a good chance that it may actually be sold out by then. The bag is made of denim with a substantial amount of brown leather trim, including the top handles and zip pull tabs on the front pockets.

The shoes feature the PS3 tagline “play beyond” on the insole and have the console’s launch date stitched on the back - perfect for commemorating a night spent waiting in line in …
