Identify Kate Hudson’s Bag


What is wrong Kate??? We are only staring and wanting a picture because

a) you are gorgeous and

b) what bag is that you are hiding?!


Anyone know the bag the lovely Kate Hudson was sporting out in SoHo over the weekend? She is such a doll; I just love her!

Inge Christopher Starfish Brooch Clutch


I can’t decide if this evening bag looks cheap or cute. First glance, I think it looks cheap- second glance, I think it looks cute. While I wouldn’t use this handbag for many evening occasions, I can actually see it being cute for a summer night out. The Inge Christopher Starfish Brooch Clutch made of silk taffeta and then covered with mesh net for a ‘nautical, romantic look’. Nautical yes, romantic possibly, and fun yes. If you accept that this clutch is merely for fun on moonlight night then the beach inspired shapes with sparkle accents are the perfect accents. Along with this is a large starfish brooch which is removable. The dimensions are 6 3/4″ wide x 2 1/2″ deep x 4″ high and you can’t really go wrong with a price of $95.95 at Zappos.

Kooba Carla Handbag



Happy Monday everyone! Waking up to this scorching day has been anything but fun. I was contemplating taking a cab rather than the Subway because I thought I might have a heat stroke down there - but at 8:30am, it was ok. This afternoon will be a different story, with temperatures reaching into the 100s!! For a hot day like today, you need to pull off a cool look. This model has it all right. Sporting Ella Moss Madison shorts (which I have, yay!), a Hanky Panky Signature Lace Lined Cami, and topping it off with a white Kooba Carla Bag, this look goes down in my book as perfect for a dauntingly hot summer day. The Kooba Carla has never made it on the top of my favorite list, but recently I have seen it around and it has grown on me quite a bit. This white leather handbag shows off braided banding and metal eyelet detail on the top along with a knot and tassel detail on the front. Connecting the bag with the braided handle are large metal buckles. Finishing off the bag is a magnetic snap closure and two interior pockets. Buy this bag via Shop Bop for a sale price of $325 (also you can find the rest of the look there).
