Back in September, Jennifer had posted in TBF a comment about a Judith Leiber Snowy Owl Pillbox. That tiny little guy sure was cute! And it seemed as though several of my fellow TBFers agreed. Unfortunately, the adorable little pillbox was just that… a pillbox. Something to display on a shelf or inside a curio, [...] Read More

Mmmmmmmm, something tells me this photo was a wee bit staged. But that’s cool - Khloe Kardashian looks killer in her Audrey-gone-sexy trench, wide-brimmed hat, and Louis Vuitton/Stephen Sprouse pink graffiti handbag. I love the modern twist against her classic outfit…a little bit of ’80s pop mixed with ’50s starlet. Nicely done. Photo from People.com. [...] Read More

Oh how we heart a good designer handbag sale. Par example: Mulberry’s current clearance of big-name purses, including the Bayswater, Somerset, Mabel, East West Maggie, and more. We spied a lipstick-red Mitzy Hobo for $549 (originally $825), a purple Roxanne tote for $369 (originally $750), and other steep discounts that are too good to pass [...] Read More

  We know he’s got his own William Rast line, but it took this photo of Justin Timberlake pulling his Louis Vuitton luggage (love the gray) to tell us that, yep, JT is a fashionisto. Louis Vuitton seems to be the gateway drug for male celebs and their designer man bags - Kanye West has gotten [...] Read More

Saks has a section on their site that tells you the best sellers in handbags and shoes for the previous week. They do this for most of their categories. Almost always the Tory Burch Reva Ballet flats are on the list along with a slew of handbags that are typically predictable and many times [...] Read More

Yesterday temperatures reached a balmy 100 degrees here with humidity that made stepping outside feel like stepping into a sauna. Then from the wee hours of the morning until a few hours ago I was reminded that Hurricane season has begun as the storm that hit knocked out power for hours and took down internet. [...] Read More

What are we buying when we buy a luxury good? Are we buying a brand name, a well-made product, or an item to ensure that others think a certain way about us when they see it? For most high-end consumers, it’s probably some combination of those options. Many customers would claim that [...] Read More

I love my ethnic bohemian styles as much as the next girl, maybe even more, which is why I am absolutely ga-ga over this Gucci Tapestry Hysteria tote! I love anything that has personality, and craftsmanship, especially when it makes you feel like you're carrying a [...] Read More

It seems that even the most virtuous of handbag labels can take a stumble and come up with a style worthy of a bonfire. Can-do-no-wrong Chloe is trotting out the Joan bucket bag in an assortment of colors and skins as it's new hot style, but this is no Paddington, [...] Read More

I don't often pay attention to Kenneth Cole. I remember about 25 or 20 years ago, they were the only shoes I ever wore, but for some reason the company fell off my radar (in spite of their still fabulous ad campaigns). Then I saw a terrific looking handbag in [...] Read More
