Gucci Babouska Boston Bag (With Flower Detail)

Inspired by Deysa’s post about Juicy Couture’s Beach Flower Tote, I decided to do my own post on a flower-appliquéd handbag. I came across this Gucci Joy Boston Bag pictured above. This bag features the classic GG signature pattern in white with black crocodile trim. I find the black and white aspect of the bag quite appealing actually. However, for some reason, Gucci felt it would be a good idea to embellish this bag with pinwheel-like flowers and grommets. Perhaps an elegant floral pattern printed directly on the fabric would have been a better choice. ( Chanel Wallet )

Funny Side-Note: Over at the Bag Forum the other day, we were discussing - or rather, joking - about how Gucci likes to have a zillion different bags with the same name. The Gucci Joy Boston Bag pictured above is one of several bags all named the Joy Boston Bag. Why isn’t there any distinction between them? Who knows, but it does make things rather confusing when trying to do a web search for a particular Gucci style.

For those of you that are interested, here are the specs on this bag:
Classic Boston Shape with Double Handles
Zip-Top Closure
D-Ring
Interior Multifunction Pocket
Gold Hardware
Measures 12″W X 8″H X 7″D
Retails for $180.00 in 2 colors at dollartree.us

Mulberry Elgin Tote

I rediscovered this Mulberry Eligin tote and this time it’s on the sale rack at Dollartree.us down $170. Hey, with that extra change why not throw in the new Louis Vuitton Monogram Groom Monnaie Rond. Good luck getting one through dollartree.us! Every time I go to the site it’s sold out before I can place my order. I have been refreshing the page all day, uhg. ( Chanel Wallet )

So about this purse deal of the day - when this Mulberry Elgin tote khaki sells out at dollartree you will get stuck with having to pay full price elsewhere. Well at least until the department stores get sick of the bags taking up the space on the shelves and clearance them off.

If you are in the market for a new Mulberry Elgin Buckle Tote in this color, then do NOT (repeat, do not) go to Neiman Marcus, Net-a-Porter, or Bergdorf Goodman. You will get stuck paying the full retail price of $995. Get the purse deal via Dollartree.us.

Chanel Classic Flap Bags

I was going to write the title "classcial Chanel bags" but then I realised that these classical bags must have a name so I went onto the Chanel site and found out that the classical Chanels are actually called the Chanel flap bags. While the Chanel flap bags are always considered very classical, I always thought they were meant for women who are middle-aged, say over thirty years old? Or at least over 25.

Young celebs everywhere are proving my belief wrong. Here are a few lucky girls who have been spotted holding the Chanel flap bags recently:
Ashley Olsen
Mischa Barton -When I think of her, Miss Sixty jeans with a Chanel flap bag automatically spring in mind.
Lindsay Lohan

They are a new take on the hobo chic handbags. ( Chanel Wallet )

Fendi Vintage Leather Baguette




Grannys everywhere, rejoice: this Fendi Vintage Leather Baguette has your name written all over it. The old-fashioned structure is a throwback to the ladylike styles of the ’50s, very quiet and unfussy with minimal detail and only a touch of hardware.( Chanel Wallet ) Of course, a little update is necessary to appeal to today’s modern woman, and it’s found here in the form of a very slim chain handle. The mauve shade is nice and very in tune with the bag’s overall understated quality. 3 colors Available for $188 at Dollartree.us .

If you go with one Chanel bag, ( Chanel Wallet )go with the Timeless Clutch. We have seen it on a myriad of celebs, wearing it with lots of different looks, and it never, ever looks bad! Posh is wearing it with F/W Proenza Schouler, and it looks as classic as ever. The roomy clutch is pretty nice for those of us who need more than a lipstick at night too. I've been able to stash my cell, a business card holder, a few glosses, and a pen in mine with room to spare.

This clutch is available for $150 at dollartree.us

Victoria Beckham and her Hermes Birkin


Okay, so maybe Victoria Beckham could stand to tuck her shirt in, but you have to admit that she looks fabulous in this ensemble of white jeans, form-fitting tank, and matching Hermes Birkin purse. As we all know, Posh loves her Hermes, and if I had seven grand laying around I’d totally steal her style. This taupe one is sophisticated but low-key, and is actually a great investment because you’ll wear it for the rest of your life.

Victoria is anything but a bag lady as she can afford all of these gorgeous Hermes Birkin bag
in a rainbow of colours - at around £8,000 a EACH.Reporters says she must have spent around £56,000 on the luscious bags. I reckon more....unless they were given to her.The expensive price tag is down to its exclusivity - the waiting list for a special edition can be six years.
It suppose it is not enough that we have to envy Victoria for getting into bed with David Beckham every night. We now have to have Bag envy..





The bags range from the Orange Birkin, the Etoupe Birkin, the much admired Pink Ostrich Birkin, Etoupe Birkin, White Birkin, White Kelly with Orange piping, mini black Kelly, Blue Jean, Brown Ostrich Vintage Kelly, Shearling Kelly, Rouge Box Kelly, Tri colour Vintage Kelly, Vert Anis Birkin....

Gucci Hysteria Bag



I fell head over heels in love with the ultimately expensive Gucci Crocodile Hysteria Bag. The price is not practical for me at all, but the color, the feel, the shape, was beautiful. I kept staring at it and studying it and I truly think the SA thought he made a huge sale that day. Unfortunately I was just an oogler, not a real buyer. And last week I went to Gucci Bal Harbor and fell in love again, but this time that bag is more affordable, relatively speaking.
The Gucci Hysteria Bag is designed with yellow/white patchwork on the front of the bag with black leather on the back. The leather is ultimately sumptuous. I mean super soft, the kind that just melts as you touch it. I kept grabbing the bag thinking it was from Bottega Veneta, not Gucci. This bag has me back on Gucci’s side, in love with a bag that is absolutely fierce. The body is very slouchy, actually allowing the bag to fold over if you carry it with the messenger strap. The Hysteria bags feature Gucci Crest detail.There was still one more of these available at Gucci Bal Harbor but you can also find it online via Dollartree.us for $188

Chanel Metallic Crackled Bag


Chanel Metallic Gilt Leather Bag

Ever wonder what looks best with your silver-tone or gold-tone hardware designer bag…

Gold metals:
> Beige and olive-toned complexions.
> Hair colors range widely, from dark brunettes through pale blondes, but tend toward honeyed and red tones - from rich chocolate browns to pale honey blondes.
> The eyes may be any color, but are most often darker shades and tend toward shades of brown and hazel.
> Looks best in rich, warm colors of clothing and accessories. Yellows, oranges, browns, reds, even warmer shades of purple can look good. If lighter shades of color are desired, it’s best to go with bright shades as opposed to pastels.

Silver metals:
> Ivory and cream-toned complexions.
> Hair colors tend to be cooler, ash tones, although the hair can range from dark (blue-black) to very pale blondes (platinum or bright yellow blonde).
> Eye colors can, of course, vary through the normal spectrum, but do tend toward pale blue and green.
> Look best in cooler colors of clothing and accessories. Blues, greens, soft grays, and cool violets. Light shades - pastels and muted colors - are especially flattering, although deep jewel-tones of Emerald green and Amethyst violet are great choices for festive occasions.

What looks best with Chanel’s new Metallic Gilt Leather Bag? Everything! I don’t know about you guys but I never mix gold and silver jewelry together – like a gold hardware bag and silver jewelry, I could not do. Which is why I am so in-love with this bag, it features not just silver but gold as well.
>>>
Bling bling for sure. This bag can be spotted from a mile away. Chanel’s new metallic crackled calfskin flap bag from the Spring/Summer ‘08 line gleams of gold and with the silver accent oozes shimmer. This bag is a far cry away from Chanel’s usual basic quilted leather bag but maintains the tradition with its simple shape, chain strap, and Chanel logo buckle.

This bag is the link between classic chick and funky couture. It is the perfect bag with an evening dress, to funk up a pair of jeans, or to glam up for a night out on the town. Its funky enough to stand out on its own but simple enough to wear with any outfit. Many times, such shiny, metallic bags can look kind of cheap and be the quick trend of a season but this bag is made of the finest quality and boasts of exceptional detail. It is one of those bags that can be carried on and off for years. With this bag, Chanel has truly upheld its tradition of always offering something old with something new.

Burberry Patchwork Check Bucket Bag

Burberry Patchwork Check Bucket Bag
The house of Burberry is a popular luxury British company. Like most popular designer names, Burberry possesses a well recognized trademark. Rather than logos, Burberry is distinguished by its distinctive checkered pattern. Personally, I’m not crazy over the pattern; I prefer to think of it as pleasant instead. Reasons being that some items produced by the House of Burberry, I adore, while other items simply appear tacky to me.

Today, I spotted the Burberry Patchwork Check Bucket Bag. I consider this handbag to be a bit too exaggerating. Burberry attempted to give the signature checkered pattern a nice twist, but personally, I’m not really feeling it. I can’t imagine myself carrying this one bag around town. No offense Burberry, but this patchwork bag looks like a total knockoff! Why the irregular pattern? Isn’t an uneven pattern a major red flag when distinguishing an authentic Burberry bag over a fake bag? In my preferences, I certainly wouldn’t buy an authentic Burberry bag containing such an obvious uneven lining.

I will mention that I agree to handbags containing removable accessories. It’s like a two-for-one! The Patchwork Check Bucket contains a removable cosmetic case, an adjustable shoulder strap, patent leather trim, and measures 13.5" x 10.5" x 6.5".

Heidi Montag Flashes the Fendi



Uh oh. Is Speidi about to become…Spy-di? After waving her Hermes bags all over Hollywood, Heidi Montag, that “Hills” gal you love to hate, has turned her eye to the Fendi Spy (and, if my eyes aren’t failing me, it looks like she’s already got an electric-blue Chanel purse on her arm already). Seriously - does Brent Bolthouse pay this girl to play with designer purses at LA boutiques? (And is he hiring?) And does seeing Heidi carrying these covetable big-name bags lessen their appeal in your eyes?

Louis Vuitton Monogram Mini Sac

The shape is that of the Speedy, yet this mini bag packs a small yet cute punch! The Louis Vuitton Monogram Mini Sac features petite measurements, 6″x 4″x 3″, which make it a great evening bag, accessory bag, or bag for a youngster. While splurging for your little one, price is very important, to keep your little one lucky while not completely spoiled and indulged. It of course is all relative, as many who do not love handbags would never spend $375 on them self for a bag let alone on their child. I have seen many pictures of toddlers with this handbag, toting it around looking like a fashionista in the making. And I am sure some of you will hate the idea of giving a designer handbag to a three year old, but I am certain when I have a little girl she will be toting this bag around too. The monogram canvas is trimmed with natural cowhide and there are two rolled leather handles. Buy through Dollartree.us for $139

Gucci Black Medium Babouska Heart Tote



Some people dream of Chocolate; I dream of Gucci. I have looked at this Babouska Heart Tote at least 10 times in the past two days and have hesitated to review it. Only because I know hard it is to put into words extreme adoration; ok, let’s face it: obsession. This handbag is a supreme gem for this coming Fall and Winter. Not only does it exude biker chic with it’s rich black leather exterior, it also adds a touch of femininity with the heart-shaped Gucci emblem. It’s hard to increase the seductiveness of this bag, yet somehow the designers at Gucci successfully bring in a third variant: vintage appeal. The brass accents on this darling complete the triple threat. But, alas, at $2,195 from the Gucci Shop, I think I will just have to keep dreaming.

Now This Gucci Black Medium Babouska Heart Tote is Available at dollartree.us for only $205

Miu Miu Leather City Bowler




Make like the chicest girl in the bowling alley with this luxurious and far too authentic-looking Miu Miu Leather City Bowler. Though far from being my favorite shape, it’s practical enough with its compact (yet roomy) design, great for those who pack heavy but not so much that they need a shoulder strap’s support. This does come with a detachable cross body strap, but you’ll find the handbag looks slightly bulky bouncing against your hip. The black color palette is common,but go with everything and never out of date.
Available for $180 at Dollartree.us.

Miu Miu Matellase Luxe Convertible Bag


The Miu Miu Coffer has become one of the most well-known staples of the Miu Miu Brand. In fact, in the recent years the Coffer is to Miu Miu as the Gauffre is the Prada. There is a special touch to the Coffer that makes it so desirable. It has the added bonus of a detachable crossbody strap which provides ease of use, which we all love. The compilation of the perfectly gathered leather, smooth top flap, and deep blue color makes the Miu Miu Matellase Luxe Convertible Bag warm my heart. My love for this bag has lasted for quite some time, and I truly do not know why I do not take the plunge. Of all color options, the blue rich leather is stunning. The outside has two snap pockets and the inside is lined with satin and has a pocket. Buy through Dollartree.us for $162.

Two Beckhams and a Hermes Birkin


Frankly, I don’t know which I want more: the delicious David Beckham, or the to-die-for Hermes Birkin Victoria’s toting. Hmmm…how about the Birkin, hand-delivered by David? Though I love love love the purse, I’m not crazy about Posh’s questionable airport ensemble. The burgundy top is nice, and looks great against the taupe bag, but those painted-on leather leggings just aren’t cutting it (how’d you like to sit on a plane in those circulation-blocking babies?). And, not to get too picky, but Posh’s beige trilby clashes with the bag. But hey, nobody’s perfect. Except for David, I mean.
