Rebecca Minkoff pares things down with the Sienna Tote

Over the last five years, contemporary bags have largely taken their aesthetic cues from the It Bags of the mid-2000s. There have been plenty of oversized satchels,
cheap christian louboutin shoes uk, fringe-y zipper pulls, stud embellishments and an overwhelming number of over-embellished options for people who love a lot of look. As the upper echelons of fashion have changed toward a more modern look,
rhinestone christian louboutin shoes, though, contemporary lines have started to tentatively move that way too. That was first evident with premium contemporary lines like Alexander Wang and 3.1 Phillip Lim, but now the rest of the gang is getting in on the act as well.

Rebecca Minkoff has played with a sleeker look for the past couple of seasons, mostly by way of petite, colorblocked shoulder bags and clutches, and the Rebecca Minkoff Sienna Tote marks a notable creep of the more streamlined aesthetic into the lines bigger bags. Like most north-south totes these days, the Sienna has the flared gussets that first gained recent popularity with the Celine Luggage Tote; the design feature has now become so widespread and popular that a designer like Minkoff would be silly not to include it in her collection somewhere.

The tote also features a front pocket, which is always my favorite element in any day bag if there’s not an easy-reach place to put my cell phone, it’s not the bag for me. Minkoff completes this look with just a bit of hardware at the front pocket’s envelope closure, which is my favorite part of the whole bag it’s so much more refined and modern than what you normally see at this price point. The color of this bag is not my favorite,
shoe designer christian louboutin, but hey,
authentic christian louboutin, color is a very personal-preference sort of thing. Buy through ShopBop for $525.

Old Navy Women is Brocade Purse

Although this bag may not be the most gorgeous bag in the world, if you have been on the search for a creamy-goldy bag, you can’t go wrong for a bag under $20. Old Navy actually has quite some deals going on now with bags (a few for a mere $5!!!). The Old Navy Women’s Brocade Purse is available in both oxygen (shown) and pink. This is a pouch-shaped shoulder bag with a little extra bling from its shimmering brocade. The inside won’t leave you sad,
christian louboutin black leather pumps, because you will feel silky satin lining and find a zipper pocket. If your wondering what the outside is really made of, it is a polyester mix with other fibers. I guess I just really like this bag because I’ve been looking for sophisticated bag which isn’t afraid to come in contact with some boozed up businessmen that might add a stain or two to the bag. If you are on a budget,
are christian louboutin shoes comfortable, I don’t see anyone saying this bag doesn’t fit their spending availability. This bag can be purchased for $19.50 through Old Navy. (Oh yea,
christian louboutin miami, I said $19.50).

Save, Spend, Splurge: The Season is Best Wallets

We don’t spent a great deal of time discussing wallets around here. That’s not because we don’t love them we do! but bags do a fine job grabbing all of the spotlight, leaving wallets and other small leather goods with little attention to share among themselves. And that’s silly, because those pieces are just important to our everyday lives as bags are.

In the spirit of reminding ourselves of exactly that,
christian louboutin shoes uk sale, let’s take a look at the three wallets, in three very different price ranges, that I’d love to be pulling out of my bag for the season ahead. No matter if your budget is tight or extravagant, your wallet can be just as chic as you are.

Save:

Marc by Marc Jacobs is always a reliable go-to for affordable leather accessories. The brand’s selection during any given season is huge and varied, and the prices all generally fall below $250 (and some of them are far below). For less than a hundred bucks,
blue christian louboutin, I’m really digging the Marc by Marc Jacobs House of Marc by Marc Jacobs Card Case. (Kind of a mouthful, right?) Some people like a petite wallet, and others, like me, prefer to store their cards and their cash separately. If you fall into either of those categories, it’s hard to beat $88. If you don’t, Marc makes larger wallets with a similar look. Buy through ShopBop for $88.

Spend:

It’s hard to believe that Fall 2011 marks Alexander Wang’s first foray into leather goods; his wallets and pouches are pretty lust-worthy. I’ve chose to highlight the enormous Alexander Wang Prisma Giant Clutch Wallet to appease people who like to be able to stash everything they own into a wallet (seriously, it has a slot for your cell phone), but it also comes in a more expected size for $250. Buy through Alexander Wang for $395.

Splurge:

Are there any small leather goods more splurge-worthy than Alaia’s? I think not. The man’s iPad cases may be $800 and up, but they make me want to buy an iPad so that I have a reason to maybe buy one some day. The Alaia Perforated Petal Wallet inspires the same sort of wild-eyed excitement; even though it’s way beyond my wallet budget and is so light and beautiful that it would probably be destroyed inside of my disorganized, messy bags in a hot second,
christian louboutin bridal shoes, I can still pine for this medium-sized,
christian louboutin clearance, leather-lined beauty from a distance. Buy through Net-a-Porter for $800.

Britney Spears Style: Hermes Crocodile Kelly

Oops she did it again! How can one person make a handbag as stunning and timeless as the Hermes Croc Kelly loose its luster? I keep trying to secretly root for Britney Spears, hoping she will find her way and get back on track. But she keeps missing important appointments,
christian louboutin heels, acting irresponsible, and making beautiful items look bad. Britney Spears was snapped shopping with horribly ratty hair, an outfit that just did not work with her, and a beautiful Hermes Croc Kelly. Her shiny Black Crocodile Kelly is screaming for help, it would prefer to be carried by someone else, yet there is Britney toting it around. But when you examine the bag closely,
christian louboutin red bottoms, you see that it is in good shape, still stunning, and ultimately luxurious. Money can buy a bag, but money sure can not buy class. Britney,
cheap authentic christian louboutin shoes, I still hope you turn things around for the better. Until then, take care of your Hermes bag!

Check out a previous instance where Spears carried this bag, and one more new pic after the jump!

Fab or Drab: Burberry Tumbled Tote

As of late I have been finding more reasons to love Burberry. Their leather bags continue to not only be fashionable and current but also affordable,
christian louboutin clutch. And now I found a new Burberry bag that I want so badly to like but can’t help but look at it and see jean pockets.

I know many designers put two pockets on the front of their bags. This is nothing new. But there are times when I see a bag with pockets on the front that has me feeling like I am staring at a pair of jeans. And I am not sure the belted top detail helps the Burberry Tumbled Leather Tote look less like half a torso of someones body. Nevertheless, the bag still has many likable features.

The oversized buckles add a utility feel add an unexpected twist to the bag. The combination of light pink or white leather with the slouchy body, pockets, and buckles makes for an interesting finished product. As much as I kept talking about this bag reminding me of jean pockets,
christian louboutin you you, I am only seeing an online image. Once you try any bag on it looks entirely different than in stock images, so I would like to give this bag the benefit of the doubt. I love that Burberry uses sheepskin,
christian louboutin house of fraser, which gives ultimate softness,
christian louboutin motcomb street, on this bag. Dimensions are 16″W x 13″H x 6″D. Buy through Bloomingdale’s for $995.

What do you think of this bag: Fab or Drab?

The Absurd Hipster Mustache Trend Makes Its Way To Designer Handbags

I don’t remember exactly the words that ran through my mind when I saw the Kotur Mr. Minaudiere Clutch, but it was something along the lines of,
christian louboutin wikipedia, So. It’s come to this. I don’t know when pop culture collectively decided that it would be hilarious to put disembodied mustaches on everything, but from twee ModClotch mustache-print dresses to people who actually have a cartoon mustache tattooed on the side of their index finger so it’s just absolutely hilarious when they hold it up to their top lip, this has got to stop.

The back of the bag has a little tophat sitting on a cloud on it, which is a pretty clear reference surrealism in general and the art of René Magritte in particular,
christian louboutin classic black pumps, which,
black christian louboutin shoes, in a way, makes this one of the more excusable examples of the bizarre mustache trend, but still. No. I’m not having it. We’re too late in the game for mustache fashion to take on some kind of intelligent form that ship has sailed, and now everything just puts us one step closer to living in an actual episode of Portlandia.

I’m also a bit skeeved out by the fact that this mustache isn’t just a print it’s actual hairs. Hairs of what kind, I’m not sure,
christian louboutin shops, but they kind of look like pubes on the Net-a-Porter zoom-in feature. Under normal circumstances,
christian louboutin bootie, I’m a huge fan of Kotur, and I even appreciate the fact that they’re trying something risky here. I’m just not sure the risk pays off. If you disagree, you can pick up this bag for $650 via Net-a-Porter.

This Little Loewe Panda Might be the Cutest Coin Purse Ever

A lot of people have a particular type of animal on which they obsess. For me, it’s bulldogs I prefer English, but a Frenchie will do in a pinch. I’ll cross the street and chase someone down in order to pet their bulldog, even if there’s oncoming traffic. For our operations director Shannon, it’s pandas. She may not have as many opportunities to pet random pandas on the way to the grocery store,
christian louboutin buy online, her love for the lovable bears is still strong. She already has a panda case for her iPhone, and I think she should add this Loewe Panda Coin Purse to her collection next.

Adorableness usually isn’t a quality that I seek out in my leather goods and accessories, but when executed correctly,
christian louboutin rollerboy spikes, it’s incredibly hard for even me to resist some serious cuteness. Gucci has had a monopoly on animal-themed luxury coin purses (which are maybe even a whole genre unto themselves now) for the recent past, but this Loewe piece is not only seriously cute, but it’s a slightly uncharacteristic bit of humor for a brand that’s generally quite staid and maybe even a bit conservative.

Fashion can always use more humor,
christian louboutin black suede pumps, more recognition that perhaps not everyone in the industry is as self-serious as we often get the reputation for being,
christian louboutin fifi 100, as long as we don’t lose the luxury along the way. This little panda is a perfect example of executing that combination beautifully. Buy through Net-a-Porter for $265.

RHOC: "My finger speaks for itself."

Considering how many of the pre-season preview fight clips came from the fight that we witnes last week and last night on Real Housewives of Orange County, my hopes are not high for this season’s entertainment value. Even after a full week of contemplation and the additional scenes from last night, I still don’t understand exactly why the fight happened or why I should care.

In fact, the most interesting part of last night’s episode was Vicky’s son-in-law making an aside about her skeevy maybe-boyfriend Brooks, who is easily the most compelling character we’ve had on Real Housewives of Orange County in years. He hasn’t even made a cameo on this season yet, but he will eventually, and that’s when this season will really be worth watching.

1. Despite looking it up, Alexis still doesn’t have a firm grasp on the definition of bullying. Poor Alexis. Even when she’s in the right, she’s wrong. Was she being bullied in Costa Rica? No, we’ve established that. Was she being bullied at dinner? Probably not,
christian louboutin new declic, and throwing the word around just makes her sound like a jackass for trying to co-opt the pain of persecuted 12-year-olds for her own PR benefit. All of that makes it hard to remember that Alexis had been more or less perfectly polite since arriving at the party as an invited guest, at which point Tamra blew up at her and Heather and Gretchen joined in. Also, Alexis pronounces it BOO-leed, which is at least as annoying as champs.

2. Once Alexis had been run off, Heather tried to explain to Tamra why her behavior was wrong. Wait, wasn’t Heather also badgering Alexis until she was forced to leave? Didn’t she take part in that mean girl mob? Am I taking crazy pills?

3. Alexis is on Xanax. Also, she offered to go home and slit her wrists to prove to Lydia that she’s being bullied,
christian louboutin beige pumps, which is maybe one of the most dramatic and ridiculous things I’ve ever heard anyone utter on Real Housewives. Also, Tamra had a point if being on the show and around the rest of the cast means that Alexis has to be on medication, maybe she should reevaluate being on the show. After all, it’s her job to fight with the cast members. Her entire job. Maybe she’s not cut out for it.

4. Vicky would like you to know that Gretchen is stupid. She said it about 40 times, as though continuing to say it would somehow manifest it as reality. Gretchen might be annoying and screechy and craven, but she’s not stupid. Vicky’s criticisms would sound a lot more reasonable (and Vicky would sound a lot more articulate) if she actually called it what it is.

5. Eddie maybe just proposed to Tamra to shut her up about getting engaged. Eddie is not interested in helping plan the wedding, or being involved in it at all. Also, he would rather put it off until he has time so he doesn’t have to stress out over it. I’m only 27, but as I understand it, that’s dude code for, I put the ring on it,
christian louboutin lace pumps, the one with the diamond,
lady peep christian louboutin, so is the other one with the legal significance really THAT important? Please say it’s not, even if it’s just because you’re afraid you’ll look like a bridezilla if you tell the truth.

6. Vicky’s mom has the same spontaneous rage issues that Vicky has. She got arrested for telling a cop she had a gun. Seriously.

7. Lydia is still new enough to be a good person. Forgive people! Don’t keep score! Don’t show up places where you know you’re not wanted, even if invited! Turn the other cheek! Remember what the Bible says! Housewives are so cute when they’re new.

8. Brooks scoped out prostitutes in Mexico. He tried to conscript Brianna’s husband into scoping them out as well, as though because they’re both dudes, they get it and it’s cool. (It being cheating on their significant others with questionably sanitary prostitutes while on vacation, of course.) Brianna’s husband seemed suitably horrified.

9. Vicky’s son won’t tell her exactly where he lives. If anything’s indicative that you have boundary issues, it’s when your grown kids won’t give you your address because you can’t be trusted with it. Helpfully, Bravo reminded us of what happened last time Vicky knew how to find her son’s apartment, even though it was out of state.

10. Should Ryan and Brianna get final approval over who Vicky has over to the house? On the one hand, Vicky wants them there and they pay to live there, and if someone makes them truly uncomfortable, I can understand not wanting that person around their newborn. On the other hand, I don’t think they have any proof that Brooks is dangerous; he’s just a gross person who’s probably trying to live off Vicky’s money, and, well, she’s a grown woman and can make that decision if she wants to. You can’t save a reality TV star from herself,
christian louboutin price range, in my experience.

How Much Do You Love Hello Kitty?

Lavonne Leong — Wed, 30 Apr 2014 18:11:38 +0000

Meow! I grew up with Hello Kitty, the cute little cartoon spokescat for the Japanese company Sanrio whose face has spawned a thousand pencil cases. Back in the day, I had my Hello Kitty coin purse, erasers, and gum, and I thought I was a major collector. Then I got distracted for a couple of decades, and came back to find that the little white feline with the big red hair bow has been busy building a global empire! The list of licensed Hello Kitty products have grown to include almost anything you can think of under the sun. In fact, Asako Kanda of Japan has been featured in the 2013 Guinness Book of World Records for having assembled 4,519 different Hello Kitty items.

That’s a whole lot of Kitteh Love, and it inspired me to put together a quiz for anyone who feels an unexplained yearning when they pass a Sanrio store. As you go through the day, where does your Kitty Love shine through? Just how much do you love the cat?

The Bedroom:

Brrrring! The alarm goes off on another morning, and you slip out from between your Hello Kitty bedsheets. One point.

But if, when you sit up, you are greeted by the sight of your Hello Kitty lamp that’s pretty serious décor. Two points.

The Kitchen:

Your morning toast looks up at you with innocent cat eyes, thanks to your Hello Kitty toaster, 1 point.

If you’re willing to declare your Kitty allegiance in public (in the form of lunch, no less) with a Hello Kitty sandwich maker, 2 point.

In the Office

You drink your morning cuppa joe from an unbreakable Hello Kitty tumbler: 1 point.

Under your desk there’s a Hello Kitty handbag: 2 points, for investing in a major accessory that pairs with everything.

At Play

When the scrapbooking spirit comes over you, you reach for your Hello Kitty all-in-one scrapbook set: 1 point.

Did you break out the Hello Kitty Monopoly the last time you had people over? Two points for spreading the Kitty joy.

1 to 3 points: Kitty-phile. No doubt about it, you have a few choice things, and you deserve some Kitty Props. You probably even know her real name is actually Kitty White. But now it’s time to take your Kitty Love a step further.

4 to 8 points: The Cat’s With Me. You and Hello Kitty go way back. You might even be the one she calls when she needs a ride to the airport. The good news is, with 22,000 officially licensed products, there are still many levels to explore in your relationship.

8 points and up: Code Red. If you’ve had time to acquire this much Kitty gear, you’re probably old enough to level up. I’m not talking about the Hello Kitty Stratocaster guitar, either (though there is one). Did you know you can have a Hello Kitty wedding in Tokyo’s Sanrio Puroland, honeymoon in the Hello Kitty Room at Seoul’s Lotte Hotel Jeju, and then welcome the inevitable consequences at the Hello Kitty Maternity Hospital in Taiwan? If you can afford it, recover in Dubai at the world’s first Hello Kitty Beauty Spa.
