Prada Nylon/Leather Buckle Tote



So let’s see, after red, comes white, so after white must come BLUE! Blue has always been one of my favorite colors. I always loved that my eyes were blue growing up and I actually think that is why blue became my favorite color. Ha. We haven’t seen much Prada around here in a while. Although their nylon line is simple, I still do like it. The Prada Nylon/Leather Buckle Tote is a smaller tote size (4″H x 11″L). The body of the bag is blue nylon and trimmed in leather. On either side of the bag there are pockets, which give a fun feel to the tote along with the buckle detailing. Opening up the zip top you will find a large central compartment. This is not a haul everything everywhere bag, but it will do the job and be easy to clean. Buy it through Saks for $815.

Carlos Falchi Deerskin Double Pocket Hobo


And after red, comes white (duhhh). So for our first white bag of the day we have the Carlos Falchi Deerskin Double Pocket Hobo. Don’t give me a hard time, I know it is ivory, but it is close enough no? This hobo is made with supple deerskin leather and is put together with tonal topstitching and a woven shoulder strap. I love the simple front drawstring pockets. This hobo measures 12″H x 12.5″W x 5″D and is available through Neiman Marcus for $995.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Embroidered Veruka Shopper



When Marc released the first bag with the funky little lady, stores sold out of her odd smiling face quickly. Now Marc has a new lady on the front of this tote and she is sure to be a hit for any fashionista. This lady is wearing a crooked smile along with a lace fitted dress. Ha the combination makes me laugh.

The Marc by Marc Jacobs Embroidered Veruka Shopper is a cotton shopper tote that has tie shoulder straps and a snap closure. Measuring 17″ x 17″, this tote is perfect for summer fun and the Veruka is sure to keep you company. On the inside there is a pouch pocket. Starting off the 4th of July with red is this shopper available via eLuxury for $178.

Louis Vuitton Velvet Chain Pochette Rabat



The chain link trend is in. You may see the nautical theme on the runway, in clothing, as jewelry, or even on bags. While I was not a huge fan of the LV Patent Leather Cain Handbags, there is a little something about the Louis Vuitton Velvet Chain Pochette Rabat that I find appealing. This crazy little combo intertwines soft viscose thread chains on a cotton canvas body and brown leather trim. You can chose between the beige or red combo, but the red is so gaudy in my eyes that it kills any and all appeal of the bag. The bag closes with a flap closure and has a leather shoulder strap with a golden metallic chain link to finish off the link theme. For fall, this bag could look cute with some outfits, but I don’t see it as a practical everyday bag. But the biggest downside of this bag, other than the red option, is that measuring in at 9.4″ x 6.3″ x 3″ this bag is going to cost you a whopping $2140 through eLuxury.
