Designer Handbags

It has been a while since I have paid homage to the momma’s with babies out there. It is kinda funny, because you would think I pay more attention to it all- seeing that I am a part time nanny of sorts. I watch the most adorable little girl who has a baby brother or sister on the way. Ask me about all the latest DVD’s, toys, and craze for the life of a 2 year old, I know it. Right now I am starting to think of a baby bag for the expecting mom. For a late spring/early summer baby, a bag adorned with flowers is practical and fun just like the Petunia Pickle Bottom Dogwood Blossom Bag. All that is packed into this bag is what is truly important for a mom with baby on hip, but the color arrangement is beautiful, including a brown/teal/raspberry/tan floral brocade. The slue of add-ons include a shoulder strap with a cell phone holder, a key clip, front and side pockets, a detachable stinky diaper pouch (we know how bad the smell gets), water-resistant liner making it easy to clean, four bottle pockets, a wipe case, a changing station, and ample room at 14″H x 15″W x 4 1/2″D. The price is right ($175 through Neiman Marcus), and in my opinion the bag has all a mom could want. What do you mother’s think?

Polly Pocket was my hero when I was a little girl. I always like miniatures. My doll house was not one of those plastic Barbie ones (although I did have one of those too), but a 5 foot tall, hand crafted, wood house complete with wall paper, carpet, a full blown kitchen, furniture widdled by hand, and every extravagance a 7 year old could want for her ‘doll house’. Don’t give me too much credit, my over-sized Barbie’s, Polly Pocket, and other random trinkets were all friends in my ornate doll house. Long story short, any box or place to carry my small little lovelies has always been a passion of mine. This is why the Louis Vuitton Damier Hard-Sided Box PM meets my fancy. Measuring 4.9″x 4.9″x 4.9″, this delightful square box is covered with the Damier canvas and is trimmed with chocolate leather trim and shiny golden hardware. The inside is lined in microfiber, which will perfectly care for your mini-whatever (from diamonds to Polly Pocket ). What would you hide in this designer beauty? Indulge via eLuxury for $1960.

This is precisely what happens when a designer has absolutely no idea what to do next. Salvatore Ferragamo, I love your shoes, have had crushes on a few of your bags, but this bag is down right nasty looking. There must be some sort of protocol or list that had to be met for the season; as in there must be 15 new bags produced. The first few are always the easiest (hopefully), then comes more thinking involved, then when you are just at 14 and really needing that last one you put all the extra scrap material together and make a smorgasbord bag. Gag. So here is the smorgasbord handbag, the Salvatore Ferragamo Fiera Print Tote Bag. Granted this is called the ’signature carnival print’, this print is still nothing but awful in my opinion. There is also randomly placed leather trim which partially breaks up the pattern of lions, tigers, bears… OH MY. Fugtastic through Saks for $840.
