If you know of a chicer take on the straw bag for summer, please let me know because I am besotted with the Lulu Guinness Padded Straw Shell Clutch.

The black color elevates what could easily have looked like a Boardwalk souvenir from the Jersey shore to a fashionable piece. The shape was definitely a risk - a shell silhouette can look a bit cheap - but not under the stylish eye of Guinness. The lines are kept crisp and clean despite the nontraditional shape.

The detachable patent shoulder strap is a great idea and I generally think all clutches should have them. It allows you to mingle with a drink and still have your hands free for shaking and nabbing canapes off trays.

There is a pouch inside with a faux pearl and the embroidered phrase "The World Is Your Oyster." Too cute.

On the down side, a seashell-shaped bag is never going to be your most practical option. So if you're hoping to take out a wallet, cell phone and keys, you might have to bypass this beauty.

Are you going to treat yourself to something fabulous this Holiday season? If so, you might consider getting yourself a gorgeous designer cosmetic bag, like this Venis Cosmit Pouch from Louis Vuitton.

It’s $370.00 and they are not likely to have any discounts (sigh…), but this is one of those beautiful designer things we, women, will be secretly enjoying years and year after we buy them.

Do you know how I talk myself into buying fabulous things like this?

I use math and pure logic.  Just like this:

If you divide the price by 2 years’ time (and that’s the minimum you will be enjoying your precious Louis Vuitton Vernis Cosmetic Bag) - it will turn out your little splurge isn’t really that big! In fact, it will be less than 50 cents a day! For something you will be so much enjoying 2-3 times a day minimum…

So, 50 cents a day for something as fabulous as a Vernis Cosmetic Pouch by Louis Vuitton, that you will be using 2-3 or more times a day… sounds like a bargain now, doesn’t it?

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy is a French first lady. She is a singer and a super model. But currently she is the wife of the president and stops her career for a new life with her hubby.

But her past makes big problems for her. There are lots of spicy pictures with Carla Bruni.

One clothing manufacturer, who has produced a white duck shopping bag, uses her nude picture as the design feature.

The trendy bags, made by Pardon, are being sold on the French island of Reunion and will be accessible to buy soon all over France, said the company manager Peter Mertes.

The French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s wife will be represented by her lawful team in court on Monday.

Their legation is to get a judge to ban sales of the handbag.

 

Do you happen to have $$$ Six Grand kicking around? The fashion gods at Chachanel chain length purse.pngnel have an easy solution for how to fix that problem for you with this gorgeous chain fringe bag.

Their Chanel gold metal kiss lock chain bag. Oooh la la - loves it! Take style note of the gold-toned metal case, chainlink fringes with logo charms and kiss lock top closure.

But my favorite part is the crazy length 56” chain shoulder strap with 28” drop. Can you imagine how glam’ that would look wrapped around your little black dress this season. 

On the hunt for a new handbag? Next Spring, Lockheart will release their latest collection of handbags – made from butter soft leathers. From woven stitching, to exposed zippers, the bags are made with lots of intricate details.

Hobos are designed with hand-rolled rose details, satchel handles are manipulated into boxes and barrels – similar to the designs you’d make with lanyards when you were a kid. And the designs are functional as well. Many of the bags in the collection have several pockets, which everyone can appreciate. Instead of throwing all of your stuff into the main compartment, you can separate your cellphone, keys, water bottle, and everything else, so you always know where everything is!
Shop  the current Lockheart collection at Nordstrom.com or at lockheart.com.

Yes Fall is just around the corner. Alas if we are lucky we will have a glimpse of an Indian summer breaking into September up into early October. But still as the seasons change so does our wardrobe. I always feel a tang bit sad when fall comes around. The leaves start falling, awaiting the colder months ahead. But, I do love the colors of autumn. Which are rich in bold reds, sienna browns, yellows, and greens. These are the colors we can gain inspiration from! Even lilacs and lavenders, and blues are pushing forth their awesome colors. In the jewelry and accessories department. But what has Europe got going on in the fall department? Let’s find out!

Knee-high or over-the-knee styles are best paired with mini lengths go great with wool mini skirts. Long boots will take lightweight dresses into winter. And the Soft suede styles in the palest of hues are the feminine choice of the season.

Perspex boxes, pompoms, and frilled leather purses. The more fanciful your bag, the better!
Don’t reserve for evening outings - these little gems deserve to be displayed all day!

From chunky wooden beads, giant Deco cuffs, bold neck pieces… Jewelry comes super-sized! As long as it makes an impact, anything goes.

Experiment with bold colors or try glossy black leather. The perfect glove length? Ending halfway up the forearm.
