Saks Sale

I love sales. That does not mean I am a sale shopper, because I am HORRIBLE at finding bargains. My bargain hunting is beyond bad. I walk into any store and always find the most expensive thing. It is some sort of innate gift and curse. Luckily I am able to see a sale and [...]

Zac Posen Lola Shoulder Bag

10.24.07 | No Comments

Zac Posen handbags implement classic designs that can last for seasons. Marked 40% off, the Zac Posen Lola Shoulder Bag sports tan leather with lush chocolate trim and gold hardware. The chocolate on tan really pops out, and accentuates the sleek lines and the clasp fastening front pocket. There is a strap on each side, also lined in chocolate leather to help it pop. I love that the inside is not forgotten and lined with lush gray suede. The size makes this bag practical for everyday use; 15.5″W x 14″H x 7″D. Between the color scheme and the sturdiness of Zac Posen handbags, this is truly a bag deal. If you are on the hunt for a brown bag, this could be a great bag for you. The brown family, especially tan, is easy to match to many outfits and the chocolate trim really makes this handbag pop.

Buy through Net A Porter for $777.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Lovely Luz

10.23.07 | No Comments

While this handbag does not have me jumping up and down, it has me saying ‘not bad, not bad’. The reasons why the Marc by Marc Jacobs Lovely Luz bag are its cute style, its lush crisp white leather, and its super cheap price. Designed with soft grained leather, this white handbag sports an adjustable leather shoulder strap which can be adjusted to have up to an 18.5″ drop. The silver metal hardware does not distract the eye, and the metal disc on the front gives a little extra touch. Also, pintucked pleats on the front add an extra touch. On the inside, a floral textile lining is functionalized by the patch pocket, cell phone pocket, and zip pocket. Marc by Marc Jacobs handbags may not sport the most divine leather and materials, but for the price, you really are getting a great deal. And this handbag is not even just ‘ok’, it really borders on better than ‘ok’, it is sporting a cute look. For all of your winter grays and blacks, it would be a nice accessory that you don’t really have to worry about getting a little dirty.

Buy through eLuxury for a mere $398.

Jas MB Cracked Leather Tote

09.14.07 | No Comments

How many of you are starting a new year of school? My cousin is going to be a freshman in college, and has been on a search for the perfect tote. I was the student who carried around a Prada Nylon Messenger Bag, which at a Big 10 School was a tad over the top, but I loved it and found it to be super practical. A school bag should be different than your friends, with a look and feel that is inherently yours. I love the Jas MB Cracked Leather Tote because it appears to look worn in while still offering a cool ivory cracked leather with a perfectly practical detachable canvas strap. The brown accents are perfect against the ivory leather, and because the leather is given a distressed look, if it gets a little dirty it will only add to the worn-in-appeal. There is an option of two top handles. To throw in your necessities, there is a small zip fastening compartment on the front, and a large zip fastening across the front. Dimensions are ideal for a school bag, 16.5″ W x 16.5″ Handle drop x 12.5″ H x 6″ D. The price is great; buy through Net A Porter for $525.

Ghibli Washed Leather Tote

09.13.07 | No Comments

A black handbag is a staple bag. No matter what the trend of the season is, it will never go out of style. A simple yet sophisticated black bag, the Ghibli Washed Leather Tote sports soft washed leather with a slouchy appeal. On the sides there are pockets for easy access, along with brass studs throughout and leather tassels to give off a rugged feel. The best part of this handbag is its price, which dubs it a bag deal. While many designers have their prices skyrocketing, reaching into the realm over $2,000, this handbag comes in under $400 and gets the job done just as well as many of the exorbitant price tag items. Available via Forzieri for $356.

Tommy Bahama Crème de Croco Frame Coin Messenger

07.05.06 | No Comments

Again, Megs and I have been aiming our coverage on handbags in the upper price bracket… for mortals anyway. Sorry about that, we really need a boot in the rear sometimes to get us back on the rough grounds that we call reality. Not many people are willing to drop high-three or four-plus figures on a bag. Cute can be reasonable as well. While the Alexander McQueen Novak goes for almost $1,500, this Tommy Bahama Frame Coin Messenger goes for less than a 1/10 of that price. I know the bags are fundamentally different in quality and structure, there’s still something about the C.d.C. Messenger that reminds me of the Novak. It may be the rounded patches on the bag’s bottom that it has in common with the Novak. If you are looking for a small, cute top frame style cross body bag, you don’t have to look any further.
