Coach Hamptons Leather Flap Tote

Of course, this will never reach that status, but standing alone without any comparisons made, it’s a structured style that will easily suit anyone who’s searching for an appropriate work bag. Smart, professional, a wee bit Birkin-esque, this Coach Hamptons Leather Flap Totebag has people talking already thanks to its similarities with the Most Coveted Bag in the World.

The colors - gray and black - are on the bland side, and the hardware is minimal. Given that its relatively embellishment-free, it’s hard not to make a few comparisons. In that case, this falls drastically short. I think I might like it with some color, but these neutrals lend it such a spiritless air. Available for $498 at Coach.

Jimmy Choo Atlas Petrol Patent Sandal

These fabulous, over-the-top, glam shoes are featured in Sex and the City: The Movie! These super sexy sandals are the Atlas Petrol Patent Sandal from Jimmy Choo. We love the irridescent shine on the patent leather.

Available in grey (pictured) and black, these Choo’s are a must-have for the summer season. As a bonus, you can now pair your favorite Choo shoes with a snazzy pair of sunglasses. The price of fabulous slam shoe its about $900.

Miu Miu Canvas Hobo

The Canvas Hobo is new for summer, and it’s just in time. If walking around with heavy leather isn’t part of your game plan, consider this utilitarian-chic purse. It’s similar in design to Miu Miu’s fabulous attention-getting bags, but it’s got a bit of a rugged thing going for it that the more glamorous pieces lack.

It typically takes some doing to get me interested in a canvas bag, but I barely had to look twice before falling for this fabulous Miu Miu bag. he laid-back vibe of the distressed canvas is nicely balanced by shiny gold hardware, calf leather accents and a discreet little Miu Miu logo on the back. Toss everything in and go - it’s perfect. Available for $885 at Diabro.

Louis Vuitton Neverfull

The best thing I love about this bag is that it can carry lots of things, and it's never gonna be full... sort of. You can also adjust the bag's width which is very clever. The Neverfull that I'm gonna be showing you is in Monogram canvas. The Neverfull is a very versatile day bag that can be used anywhere.

There is also a Damier Neverfull but it's exclusively released to Louis Vuitton boutiques in Hawaii and Japan. According to my sources, the bag will not be released in the Mainland U.S. until 2009. Some of the ThePurseForum members who can't wait until 2009 to grab hold of the precious Damier Neverfull ordered from Hawaii and Japan... quite hassly but it's worth it.

New Escada Wears

It's been a very long time since I've considered wearing Escada. The brand was always huge in Germany where my parents are from, but I've always associated it with lots of bright yellows and reds and beading both of which aren't really my style.

I have to say though I was more than pleasantly surprised to see so many nice pieces now available and it was wonderful to see them not only on the models, but on some of the guests at the event! Though I could do without the belted waists I love how simple and elegant many of the looks are.

A few days ago I went to a cocktail party hosted by the president and chief merchandising officer of Saks Fifth Avenue Ronald Frasch along with Amy Sacco in honor of Escada's new creative director Damiano Biella. The event was held on Saks' second floor by the Escada section in NYC and they had models decked-out in some of the designer's new wears.

Prada Sparkles

This gorgeous beaded clutch with green and black paillettes is just the bag for your holiday party needs. Yes, so it's a bit expensive at $1,250 but hello, if you have ever used a bedazzle machine you will know this thing took hours and hours to hand bead. As for the shoes, I've got to say about the amazing resort shoes.

Sure we've been bashing on Prada lately but we have a soft spot for Miuccia and always know she will bounce back (in college we swore to have everything Prada even if we had to lie, cheat or steal). Which is why no one is happier than I to see Prada sparkle and shine for resort. Gone are the strange dumpling looking ruffles, in its place are shimmering and sexy clutches and totes.

Pretty in Pink and Gold


This look pulls together classy, sophisticated pieces with sexy chic items like this fabulous clutch. The pink floral blouse is so feminine, the pearls so delicate yet the gold stillettos let on that this women is most definitely sexy and in charge.

The mix of structured items like the jacket with the unstructured flowy blouse give the outfit and the woman wearing it the feeling of both laid back casual and put-together. Both of these are impressions that you would want to leave on your date.

Dolce & Gabbana - Two-Tone Carla Pump

These shoes would go perfect with a red floral print Spring dress. You can get the peep-toe Dolce & Gabbana Two-Tone Carla Pump at eLuxury.com for $455. Though they aren’t cheap, they certainly are gorgeous.

This fabulous pump features white leather with contrasting red patent trim. These shoes are very feminine and flirty - perfect for a special date.

Prada Handbag Camel Beige

This handbag has been meticulously crafted in soft leather that has been tanned using traditional methods before being lightly hand-waxed and brushed to accentuate the sophisticated appearance with varying depths of colour, creating a subtle appearance of age.

Full top flap over closure with slide push lock system with the Prada signature logo/crest trademark engraved finished in antique finished gold hardware. Comes with a key which is attached to a camel beige leather strap & pouch and is attached to the handle allowing you to lock the handbag.

Front of handbag has two small pocket compartments with magnetic snap clip closure and belt/buckle style details. Inside the handbag is fully lined in beige Prada monogram fabric has one inside pocket with zip closure and a Prada plaque badge.

The World Most Expensive Bra from Victoria's Secret

This bra is adorned with 3,575 black diamonds, 34 rubies, 117 one carat round diamonds, over 3,900 gems. Now you know why you could spend $5 million for a bra! With lingerie like that, who needs clothes? And jewelry? And good taste? Let’s throw all that to the window and keep the $5 million Victoria’s Secret bra! It’s all we need.

It may not look great but this isn’t your average bra. And that’s not just because it comes from Victoria’s Secret! Or because it’s presented by Adriana Lima.

A Tribute to Yves Saint Laurent

Roger Vivier designer, Bruno Frisoni, payed homage to Saint Laurent with this pair of black stilettos bearing a black bow on the toe and a wheat motif like the sheaves that dressed the designer’s coffin.
Touches of Yves Saint Laurent could be found all over the Paris haute couture runways — like in the big white bowties and sleek pantsuits at Armani.

Luxury Of Colorful

The Gaultier haute couture show was certainly the most vibrant of the bunch. Models walked wearing colorful feathers and lattice cages over their slinky, Day-Glo gowns. Coco Rocha’s emerald gown with it’s matching feather shrug (here) was one of the most stunning dresses I’ve seen lately.

hese might be tough economic times for the rest of us, but there was no shortage of luxury at Gaultier, with fur and leather on many pieces as well as an equestrian theme that gave us leather and suede jodhpurs and a brown fur coat with an overlay of saddle-inspired caging.

Tremendously High Heels

The shoes on the runway had towering heels, tough-girl styling and sometimes seemingly unstable architecture. The models seemed to experience some difficulty in making it down the runway. The high heels are perfect to look at but working in them might be hard. Very high heels have become an alternative to a flat summertime-sandal and the ballet slipper.

Hot Fashion On Spring 2009

That might be just good with consumers who, considering the economic situation of recent days, can be in no mood to start their shopping lists for the next season.

Designers couldn’t have predicted such a picture when they started creating these collections long before their previews in fashion capitals. Still, there was a collective movement toward a looser shape compared to the buttoned-up style of fall.

There was a clear tropical influence on the clothes for spring/summer 2009. Tangerine orange and pink, together with ocean blues, were presented in large amounts. Designers offer a more toned-down version of the collection to store buyers and those probably give a better sense of what’s to come.

Louis Vuitton “Monogram Tisse Sac Rayure PM” and “Monogram Tisse Sac Rayure GM”

We have already done a post about the new, limited edition Monogram Rayure collection from LV, and we mentioned the beautiful tote from that collection but we could not get the pictures of it at the time of posting.

Designed by Marc Jacobs, the Sac Rayure PM is made of linen and cotton monogram canvas with grained leather trim, and features flat leather handles (love the leather trim contrast), adjustable buckled band which encircles the top which I really like because it allows you to play with your bag’s appearance, a flat canvas base with protective metal feet, fine textile lining and an interior zipped pocket.

The handle drop seems long, which would allow you to carry this bag any way you want - on your shoulder, on the crook of your elbow or as a top handle bag, and no matter which way you go for, it will look just amazing.

The GM version has blue and white stripes, instead of orange and white ones the PM has. It is also a bit different in terms of the band that encircles the bag, which weawes through the top and allows you to adjust the gusseted sides of the bag. Also, the handles are rolled and have no trim and the top is open, just like in the PM version, but has a snapped tab closure which I prefer more than plain open top.

Bagddicted loves Monogram Tisse Rayure!
SIZE: Monogram Tisse Sac Rayure PM 11.6″ x 9.4″ x 5.9″

Bottega Veneta Sophistication

Bottega veneta has always had a quiet sophistication, but this season, creative director tomas maier added a bit of oomph with sexy draping and architectural details. the looks included day dresses in many variations: jersey or silk charmeuse wraps, mockneck, and cowl necks, or tweed and textured sheaths; boxy double breasted jackets, or wool with velvet belts.

Pantsuits had standaway shoulders or double folded hems and were paired with pleated ankle length pants, and evening wear was sleek and elegant. the colour palette included gorgeous lilacs, rust, peacock blue, and olive green. and with this being bottega, the perfect finishing touch were the bags and shoes. another collection, like jil sander, which was well thought out and caters to the modern woman's every need.

Brian Atwood Brings Life to Bally

Atwood is now bringing his magic to Bally's women's footwear. The way he sees it, he's providing "fresher, easy luxury." He dug deep into the 157-year-old Bally archives for inspiration. Many may have the Midas touch, but shoe designer Brian Atwood has the sexy touch and as far as I'm concerned, that's more priceless.

The Spring/Summer collection incorporates metal-framed heels and platforms from the '40s. I'd love to scoop up all of his sexy creations.

Bottega Veneta Flap Bag

Made with a combination of smooth leather and woven sides, Bottega Veneta's Flap Bag is classy and refined with brass detailing and a suede lining. The bag features two handles that sport chain link/ring accents, and the Italy made purse has an inside cell-phone pocket.

Saks is selling Bottega Veneta's Flap Bag for a steep $2,380, but if you're like me, you'll be glad to stare at it and drool for free.

Christian Louboutin Declic Black Pumps

I think this pair maybe a little higher than the ones I originally wished for but the higher the better, hard hitting designer fashion does not always mean pleasure without pain. These Declic Leather almond toe Pumps are fabulous!

The smart and sophisticated look makes them the shoes that will match pretty much anything and with the high stiletto heel, they will lengthen legs. I first caught glimpse of these gorgeous pointed black, Louboutin courts just over a year ago in Selfridges and haven’t seen them since, until now.

Banana Republic Spring Collection Revealed

While many of other designers we have seen have kept their Spring collections at simplicity and less daring, Kneen wanted to venture out into multiple colors and styles. He included neutral monochromatic color palettes of slate, khaki, and white along with vibrant colors such as ocean blue and grassy green that added fun and playfulness.

And although Banana Republic has a sportswear background as well, Kneen created new looks to add and made additional revisions such as updating coats, dresses, and cardigans. The softest fabrics were used such as soy fiber that made trousers slouch and appear carefree.

And of course men were not excluded in the upcoming new trends. The cardigan look was strong and masculine with a casual look that was matched up with suits. Leather jackets also made an appearance that was perfect for the weather. Even brightly colored pants added that something new we were all ready to see in the fashion world.

Affordable Luxury by Qi Cashmere

This season I cannot get enough of their adorable cashmere dresses. You can wear them to work and easily transform them into a look that is ready for a night on the town. Their arrays of cropped cashmere jackets and dusters are equally as desirable. And who can forget about the numerous sultry feminine sweaters that are a perfect match with a pair your favorite pair of jeans and some smoking boots!

Qi’s knitwear collection is always ahead of the curve in terms of trend, but their designs remain timeless. “Qi strives to push the envelope in contemporary knitwear each season, with the use of imported yarns, cotton, cashmere, and cashmere blends.”

Who ever said a sweater could not be sexy? Qi definitely takes the cake for mixing comfort with style!
