We never thought we’d be taking style cues from Ke$ha. But the girl cleans up nice! She attended the 26th Annual Genesis Awards dressed in a eye-catching yet tame (for her) Miu Miu Lightning bolt printed jumpsuit. She paired it with an orange Salvatore Ferragamo belt with a double gancio buckle, a one-of-a-kind, large pave feather hand ring with partial black rhodium and multicolored diamonds by Loree Rodkin, and an orange, yellow, beige and cream-colored suede chevron clutch by Salvatore Ferragamo. Oh, and a half shaved head too. Nice to see some of the old Ke$ha remains. Get her haute...  Read More..

Neon is making a comeback this spring, and there’s no better time to incorporate bright colors into your wardrobe. We recently spotted these flat envelope clutches by Clare Vivier, and love how such a structured silhouette can be simple, chic and totally on trend. The socially conscious, Los Angeles-based label is known for its collection of handbags that embody chic utility and timeless style, like the ‘La Pochette’ Clutch. The natural undyed leather is a perfect contrast to the vibrant silk screened vertical stripe down the front and back (comes in pink, green and blue). This...  Read More..

We found the ultimate party bag!  The kate spade new york ‘Confectionary Anastasia’ clutch has a vibrant mix of multicolored pyramid ‘gemstones‘ that will undeniably turn heads wherever you go. We appreciate accessories that do all the work. You can wear neutrals so the clutch really pops, or pick a color to coordinate with what’s already in your closet. If you want to take your outfit over the top, add a gold top or dress to complement the 14-karat light gold plated hardware. Additional features of the ‘Confectionary Anastasia‘ clutch include optional...  Read More..

In her latest film, Colombiana, Zoe Saldana is a tough-talking hitwoman who kicks butt and takes names, but last week at the Los Angeles premiere of the film, she looked nothing but soft and sweet in a head-to-toe pink outfit. On the red carpet she rocked a salmon pink leather halter dress by Valentino, accessorized with a Salvatore Ferragamo woven clutch with gold sequin detail, Irene Neuwirth rose gold flower earrings and a peach moonstone bracelet, and pinkish-nude colored Christian Louboutin Pigalle 120MM pumps. Wanna steal Zoe’s red carpet style? Shop her haute look, below: 1. Woven...  Read More..

The colorblocking trend is still going strong, and Garcelle Beauvais shows us the right way to transition it into our Fall wardrobes. At the premiere of “The Help“, Garcelle wowed the red carpet with a sunny yellow blouse and bright blue wide-leg trousers. Her look consisted of an Equipment shirt and Elizabeth and James pants, accessorized by a tiered statement necklace, metallic clutch, cheetah print belt and blue YSL pumps. We love this look and if you love it too, shop the items below to re-create Garcelle’s haute colorblock style: 1. Chloé yellow Silk blouse with breast pockets,...  Read More..

Demi Moore has been named the new face of Ann Taylor. The actress, 48, shot the fall campaign with photographer Patrick Demarchelier in New York City at Rockefeller Center’s rooftop garden. (Daily Mail) eBay will launch its eBay Fashion Outlet on Sept. 19. It is said to be “the first virtual outlet shopping mall in the U.S.” (WWD, subscription required) Feast your eyes on the new line of mid-priced handbags designed by Rachel Zoe, like this Audrey bag.

We have previously featured Christopher Kane‘s bold and out-of-this-world creations, so we were delighted to discover a few of his handbags. Known for his provocative style and edgy approach to fashion, this Scottish designer continues to make his mark with eclectic designs and unexpected embellishments. The gel-filled Christopher Kane ‘Aqua’ large envelope clutch was spotted on the Fall/Winter 2011 runway, and is truly a conversational piece.  It has scalloped edges, embossed gunmetal snap fastenings and is available in two colorways – red/blue gel and green/blue gel. ...  Read More..

Lauren Merkin has teamed up for a second season with jewelry designer Michelle Fantaci for her Spring 2011 handbag collection, which includes three exclusive styles of evening clutches. Our favorite is the Ludlow, a simple mini box-shaped bag that instantly boosts the glam factor of any outfit. Embellished with gold, nickel, and anthracite molded metal on the flap, the Ludlow also features a hidden magnetic closure, nude suede lining and snake chain strap that can be tucked inside for the option of wearing as a clutch. We appreciate having seven luxurious Italian lambskins to choose from,...  Read More..

The perfect day = perfect weather, the perfectly distressed denim jacket, perfect fit pants and the perfect bag. Wouldn’t you agree? We took a road trip to Philly for the day and the weather was sunny and gorgeous, but still cool enough to wear a light jacket. I love distressed denim, especially when you can purchase it that way. I bought this Kensie jacket a while back on Beyond the Rack and have recently been wearing it since it’s been a cool summer so far. Denim jackets are so versatile – I love pairing them with colored denim (like these tan Vince jeans), floral dresses,...  Read More..

When thinking about holiday looks, we tend to first think of the dress (a little black cocktail number, preferably), then the accessories. Satin heels are a must, and so is a satin clutch. With a little black dress, the sky is the limit when it comes to accessory options, and when we saw this Christian Louboutin Roudoudou ruched silk-satin clutch, we knew it was both a showstopper and party-perfect. This evening bag is playful yet sophisticated so it works for whatever event you may be attending. This slightly slanted clutch features light-blue and pink pleated silk-satin with a unique curled detail...  Read More..

As much as I write about bags, bags and more bags, you’d think the first thing I’d nail down for my wedding is a handbag! But lo and behold, the big day is a month away and the only thing I have yet to get is a bag! Maybe it’s because I’m not a huge evening bag kind of girl. I’d take a large shoulder bag, satchel or hobo over an evening bag any day! But I know a big bag would look absolutely ridiculous with my princess wedding gown so a small clutch or minaudiere will have to do for the day. And I do love the beauty of a good jeweled clutch. I’ve been browsing...  Read More..

Whether or not the stud trend is still going strong or is O-V-E-R is yet to be determined, but there’s one stud bag that for us, will never get old. The Donna Karan Element silver-tone clutch is simply one giant pyramid stud in the form of a clutch, and we couldn’t love it more. Made of metal, the silver tone has an antiqued look, yet remains polished. It’s just the right amount of edge for a Rihanna type, but it’s still a classy piece to hang on the arms of even the most conservative of women. Just how Donna Karan would want it. The bag comes with a gold chain shoulder...  Read More..
