Name Cindy Crawford’s Metallic Bag


One of the world’s most notable faces was seen shopping recently. Looks like she is checking out a Juicy dress for her daughter - so cute. But this bag is completely not known to me. Name Cindy Crawford’s Bag!! Can any of you name this bag? If so, I might give you a cookie

Hilary Duff debuts in the Wizard of Oz


I’ll get you my pretties… and your little dog too!!” Hilary was seen out biking with her man, yet she really looks like she is biking away from Dorothy and Todo. What I do love is that she wrapped the handle of her chic purse on her bike handle. This is another freebie, but name Hilary Duff’s Bag!

Jessica Simpson is Twangy


I admit that back in 6th grade I wore flannel shirts. I swear it was really cool and you were only considered hip if you did it. If you don’t believe me, ask my college roommate Nicole - she will also tell you how cool they were (let’s face it, do either of us really matter



) But I was pretty confident that trend was squashed. I was wrong. Jessica Simpson may be a bit down these days, but that is no reason to wear an over-sized flannel shirt. Yet, she still totes Daisy around in this obvious bag. Go ahead and name it anyhow and tell me what you think about this shirt.

Celebrity Wednesday

Today is designated for celebrity bags and style. I must admit, I am star struck and seeing all these celebs lately has left me wanting more. Tomorrow we are back to the bags and will be announcing a really great contest too



Stay posted for that, but today, let’s have some fun!

Megs Meets Kate


Funny how Megs posted a picture of Kate Hudson shopping not even two days ago, and actually ran into her personally yesterday after work! Megs is working in downtown Manhattan for the summer and spotted Kate in Midtown, looking as gorgeous as ever… She was polite but in a rush - so while Megs snapped some photos, she signed some autographs. Great, while the woman is enjoying all the cool celebs, I am stuck in Ohio. You call that fair?

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).

Fendi B. Fendi LamГ© Pleated Medium Bag



For a girl who loves fashion and shopping, NYC is the perfect place to live. While it is perfect, it can also be not so perfect… for your wallet. I feel a kid at Christmas every day I wake up in this city that never sleeps. Usually I stroll down 5th Ave a few times a week just to check up on what new goodies all the designers have to offer. Fendi has become a frequent stop off for me - with their gorgeous furs and even more gorgeous exotic bags. I never could tell if I loved the B. Fendi Bags until I got to try one on. Let me just tell you that I am in love. For fall, if I were not broke, I would opt for the Fendi B. Fendi LamГ© Pleated Medium Bag. Designed from bronze lamГ© pleated grained leather, this handbag adds texture and glam to and already fabulous shape. Fine topstitching, aged brass hardware, and blue textile lining accent this bag. to me, the focal points of the bag are the shoulder straps which attach with aged brass link chains and the two oversized buckle details with double F tabs on the front. Personally, I think this bag is perfect for fall and a perfect size (13″ x 8.5″ x 3.25″). If living in Manhattan were a bit cheaper, I would get myself one of these for fall. The bronze beauty is not cheap: buy it through eLuxury for $3,410.
