Designer Handbags

The funky early winter has my body all verschimmelt and this late winter weather has my inner most bones frozen and wondering what in the world is going on. But Prada is on track for spring which leaves my cold bones in a state of euphoria thinking of cruises, beaches, and a tan. Thumbs up from my end on a selection of the Prada Sping 2007 Handbags which implement bold colors and fun textures which are big for spring.

First we have the Prada Juta/Python Frame Bag. Perfectly combining juta and python trim, this handbag is the epitome of a cruise collection. Measurements are 13″H X 14ВЅ”L X 6″W. Beautiful for spring via Saks for $1890. Next there is the Prada Studded Straw Frame Bag which is a little more dressy but still Jimmy-Buffet-poolside-margarita-casual. The gold studs are paired with a straw frame bag, leather trim on the coroners and top, and a magnetic snap closure. 12″H X 16ВЅ”L X 6″W and available for $1470 via Saks. Bottom left is a bag that exemplifies all things hot for spring; including bold color, funky pattern, and braided rope handles. The Prada Canvas Frame Bag showcases a bold orange color alongside its printed canvas frame body which features red, yellow, and green colored designs. Funky and fresh, I could not typically see myself loving this bag, but for some reason I am oddly drawn to it. Measurements are 11″H X 14″L X 7″W and this bag goes for $1750 through Saks. The Prada Ruched Nylon/Leather Tote strongly resembles its in the lime-light sister, the Prada Grauffre, and in a simple color is a great bag for spring. The reason I really love this ruched nylon tote is because it is easy to clean. There is a removable cross-body strap and the dimensions are 11″H X 12ВЅ”L X 5″ВЅW. Buy it via Saks for $1450.

Yesterday was the last day of a long weekend which ended with the 64th Annual Golden Globe Awards. Personally, the show was a bit drab for me this year other than the red carpet of course. Trends on the carpet ranged from ravishing white, Greek Goddess, and bold and daring colors. Who was your favorites this year? If you need more pictures, check out Fab Sugar who had access to the Golden Globes this year. My personal favorites are below:

I absolutely love Katherine Heigl. I love her as Izzy on Grey’s, love her womanly body, love how she dresses and carries herself. Katherine showed up in a fitted black gown that hugged her curves and made her look nothing short of amazing.

Of course the Grey’s Anatomy cast were all well-dressed in my mind, because they are my absolute favorite cast and show ever. But I am giving credit where credit is due because the cast dressed for the nines last night including Ellen Pompeo. She wore a white Versace dress that was simple yet glamorous with some sparkle.

The newly single Reese Witherspoon showed up at the Golden Globes showing some skin in a bold and beautiful yellow stunner by Nina Ricci. Take that Ryan, she is hot, single, and undoubtedly one of the best dressed at the Golden Globes last night. You have to laugh that Sascha Cohen, aka Borat, is by her side- but boy, does he clean up well.

Perfect Heidi braids adorned Sienna Miller’s head and were paired perfectly with her metallic-embellished white Marchesa gown last night. She was one of the Greek Goddess that had me drooling at her feet.

The accessory report will definitely come later ! Who were your favorites?

I have mentioned from time to time that I was a swimmer growing up, all the way to and through college actually. People think when I say this I mean I splashed in my backyard pool, quite the contrary. At 5 am I was in the water, at 3 pm I was running and lifting weights, at 5 pm I was back in the water, and the next day I did it all over again. For years this was my routine, since the age of 4. A perk of being brought up in South Florida was the ocean; a total negative for anyone near in Florida afraid of marine life is also the ocean. Guess whose swim coach had them swim in the ocean on Saturdays? I cried. The thought of a squishy but totally awful jellyfish, a hiding stingray, and a hungry shark terrified me. Tears welled up in my goggles every Saturday. I’d rather see a stingray as an accessory, just like this stunning Jalda Stingray Bean Clutch. A perfect texture of exotic stingray skin in deep navy looks extravagant and does bring back any sort of marine life fears. The oversized brass clasp is not overpowering, rather subtly adds a touch of sophistication and class that is a hard combination to hit. On the inside there is faille lining and this piece of hand candy (that does not have the capacity to fling its stinger up in your leg) measures 5Вѕ”HX 9ВЅ”LX 1″W. Classy and safe through Saks for $415. Take that you scary under-the-sand-camouflage-hiding stingray!!
