Designer Handbags

If I were a doctor, carrying a high end designer’s ‘doctor bag’ is what I would do. Yes, that was partially a joke- so it is ok to laugh. I know that doctor bags don’t mean they are for doctor’s to carry (just clearing the air since I am blond after all), but wouldn’t that be quite the stylish Dr. move? Chloe bags have been having the best weeks ever lately. The name signifies the “it” bags which are virtually impossible to get your hands on. Some styles more than others are proving quite challenging (like my beloved Paddington), but overall the brand has shot through the roof. This new style of the Silverado is quite appealing and adds a new shape to the line of Chloe. The Chloe Silverado Doctor Bag is made of dark brown leather and gives off quite the statement. The hardware on the bag is golden antiqued and the bag shows off large stud accents. The signature Silverado look comes into play with the whipstitched trim on the top handles and on the side flap pockets. The bag closes with an extended tab over zip top and also features tab detail at the base. The dimensions of this doctor bag are 11 1/2″H x 17 1/2″W x 7 1/6″D. If you want to jump on the Chloe craze, I suggest you place yourself on this pre-order list for the Chloe Silverado Doctor Bag via Bergdorf Goodman for $1,730.

By the looks of the new fabrics coming out, it is evident that fall/winter 2005 is on its way. It seems like only yesterday I was looking forward to summer. Well summer is here and almost over (my 2 month vacation is reaching its half way point- dang). But the new handbags are making their way out- which we have all noticed- and it has me quite excited. Realizing that I haven’t featured enough evening bags, I wanted to find a fun one for the upcoming season. I got it! The Kate Spade Olivia Velvet and Gold Evening Bag intertwines a bright and bold color of summer with a fabric of fall/winter - velvet. I consider this bag quite bold for Kate Spade (although the designer has been making more statements lately than the older more plain bags). Made of pink gathered velvet and gold hardware, this bag is sure to brighten up any outfit. There is also a gold chain which you could opt not to use and simply carry the bag as a clutch or you could use it as a strap. The inside of the bag contains a small pocket and is lined in a taupe colored satin. This bag could make your outfit a hit for $335 through Net-A-Porter.
