With cold weather approaching (it’ll get here eventually, I know it will, even if it doesn’t seem that way right now), most of us have started planning our winter wardrobes and maybe even amassing our favorite fall pieces to make sure we get our hands on them before they sell out. Almost all of the stuff I’ve acquired is black or dark grey, which reminds me:...

One of our favorite clutch designers is Lauren Merkin. Her designs are unmistakable and completely chic. The most recognizable Lauren Merkin Clutch is the Louise. Good news for all of you is that we are giving three away Lauren Merkin Louise Clutches! How to enter: 1) Follow Lauren Merkin on Twitter and PurseBlog on Twitter.

The Bag Alexander Wang Tai Dopp Kitt Bag – It comes in both embossed natural python and black leather, but since mixing patterns is also a fall trend, this seems like a perfect time to wade into those waters a bit and see how things go. The black version, of course, could be mixed into a wardrobe in a similar way to a large black clutch. The closure and structure of...

I’m an avowed lover of black. I generally prefer it in clothes rather than bags, but lately I find myself drawn to more black bags than usual, and also black shoes. I could wear black for the rest of my life and be more or less happy. That’s not true for everyone, though, and if you’re one of those weird people that prefers to keep the black to a minimum (seriously,...

  Louis Vuitton’s Fall Winter 2010/2011 collection was beyond words in its glamor, elegance, and beauty. In fact, there is no way to properly give justice to the ladylike functionality implemented into each design. Marc Jacobs is pure genius. Louis Vuitton Advertising campaigns never let me down either. The creative vision of the Louis Vuitton Fall Winter 2010/2011...

In general, Megs and I do our jobs here without seeing the bags in person. Often we might have seen a bag at one point or another on shopping trips or on the arms of friends, but usually bags hit the internet before they hit stores. We can’t wait to write about a bag until we’ve had it in our hands or it’ll be old news, but past experience with a brand’s bags combined...

Fall is all about fur and one of the other fall trends is lace. Of course Valentino released countless lace items, from shoes to clothing to bags. Seeing as how Valentino has perfected the art of feminine designs, it is only fitting for Valentino to tackle lace. As far as this bag goes however, it just isn’t quite cutting it for me. The Valentino Day Lace Medium Duffle...

Things from Jimmy Choo have been a bit “blah” lately. They’ve continued to make a lot of popular styles from previous seasons in new materials and finishes, which should make the brand’s devotees happy, but I always prefer to see something new alongside old favorites. The Jimmy Choo Rosa Satchel maybe not seem all that striking or innovative to the casual observer,...

Despite any fun that I might have had at Versace’s expense in the past, I really, really want the brand to get through its growing pains and come out the other side making beautiful accessories. Few labels have the kind of global name recognition that Versace enjoys, and it would make the accessories market as a whole much richer for Versace to find its voice and become...

Have you ever seen a bag in person, talked yourself out of buying it and then obsessed over it for months on end afterward, at which point it has become sold out and you can no longer get it? That’s the tragic story of me and the Celine Boston Tote. I thought I had successfully put the bag out of my mind, but after seeing Leighton Meester carry hers two weeks ago and...
