Here’s a handbag eLuxury loves, it’s actually featured on the Bags We Love page found on their site. In case you haven’t already, meet the Kaye Kaleidoscope Bag by L.A.M.B. Leave it to Gwen Stefani to design something so eye-catching and bold. I remember as a kid owning a toy Kaleidoscope tube and how entertaining that mechanism can be. From my knowledge, the name fits this piece effortlessly. Just like the toy, a fusion of bright hues and colorful small objects can be found throughout this satchel. So the colors are admirable and the satchel shape is a preference of mine and is suitable for my needs, but would I actually give into this bag? Probably not. I tend to stick with neutrals and I really don’t think I could pull off patent bright orange. Braided piped handles, enameled studs, and the lamb-shaped appliqué are a couple of more details that can be found on this piece. Measuring in at 14” x 8” x 7”, you can find the Kaye Kaleidoscope bag with a decent price tag of $675. Ladies, what’s your input on this bag, and most importantly, Would you wear this?

Marc Jacobs has come out with another Miss Marc bag and it’s the Marc by Marc Jacobs Tote-ally Miss Marc Tote and it’s actually not that bad. I have never liked any of the Miss Marc bags, to me they were a tad bit ugly. The Tote-ally Miss Marc Tote features and cute and quite stylish Miss Marc, a far cry for the previous hideous Miss Marc characters. The handbag is made from canvas and smooth grained leather and has flat leather handles with a seven inch drop. The tote features an interior patch pocket, cell phone pocket and a leather-trimmed zip pocket. Enough pockets to hold all your small essentials plus more! The Marc by Marc Jacobs Tote-all Miss Marc Tote is perfect as a school bag, or just one of those bag you wanna throw all your things in and be on your way to the store.

The Marc by Marc Jacobs Tote-ally Miss Marc Tote is available at eLUXURY for $198, which is a great buy for a cute tote let alone a Marc by Marc Jacobs tote. I absolutely love this tote, and I’m sure it won’t be around for long with all the Marc by Marc Jacobs Miss Marc lovers out there. Get yours before they are gone!

I was browsing the sales over at the mall yesterday, and of course I had to go into Nordstrom. I instantly walked to the handbag department and I saw a bunch of Juicy Couture goodies on sale. One of those goodies I saw on sale was the Juicy Couture Daydreamer Tassel Velour tote in pink and I must say it was cute! I’m not sure if it would be a bag I would wear a lot, but it was an overall a really pretty bag. It seemed very roomy and had a magnetic tab closure. The only downfall about the handbag is that it was mostly all velour. I’m not too fond of velour, but of course I do not own any velour handbags so I can not judge. I would think velour would be easy to get dirty and the maintenance would be annoying but once again I could be wrong. In the description Nordstrom provides for us they add, “The goldtone tassel and jeweled bow add sweet final touches”, and I couldn’t agree anymore! Cute bag, and the price is out of the world!
The Juicy Couture Daydreamer Tassel Velour Tote is currently on sale at Nordstrom. On the Nordstrom website they are currently offering the handbag in Gilded and Regal/Smog for $134. $134 is a steal for a Juicy Couture handbag, especially for a adorable handbag like the Daydreamer Tassel Velour Tote. If you go to the Nordstrom store I’m sure you can also find the handbag in light pink and dark pink like I did!

While checking out CoutureCandy today, I noticed that they added a bunch of new Antoinette Lee Design handbags for the new season. A handful of clutches and purses, in a wonderful selection of bright colors (lots of purple, royal blues, sunny yellow and teal).
One piece that caught my eye is the new and improved Dolcita Clutch in lavender purple. What draws me to this luscious leather clutch is the vibrant new colors and the simple, clean lines and minimal hardware accents. This clutch is totally spacious too. It measures 10″ wide X 6″ high x approx 2″ deep.
Antoinette started designing clothing and handbags at the young age of fifteen. She graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Apparel Design, then immediately moved to Manhattan and began working in the fashion industry. Five years later, at the age of twenty-five, she was created her own line. The Antoinette Lee Designs was born in 2005.
How much is this bag? $235 @ CoutureCandy

I just came back two days ago from New York and there is one thing I now know for sure, that the Damier Canvas Speedy 30 is a very popuar bag there. Everywhere I looked, turned, and walked I saw a Damier Canvas Speedy 30. I did see more of the Damier Azur Speedy 30’s but I must say I saw a good amount of the Damier Canvas Speedy. What is even more crazy, is that the FAKE Damier Canvas Speedy 30 is also a huge hit for the street vendors selling replica designer handbags. I’m sure we can all agree that buying a FAKE Damier Canvas Speedy 30 is wrong but it just shows how popular the style and look of the Damier Canvas Speedy is to consumers. I personally love any of the Speedy 30’s, they are fashionable, roomy, and the style of the handbag is fabulous. The Speedy 30 is 12″ x 8″ but if that isn’t big enough for your needs the Speedy also comes in a 35. Some details of the Damier Canvas Speedy 30 is that is has smooth chocolate leather trim, rounded leather handles for elegant carry and a zip top closure with padlock. I’m so craving to buy the Damier Canvas Speedy 30 because not only is it gorgeous but it comes with a great price too!
The Louis Vuitton Damier Canvas Speedy 30 currently retails for $700, but that price will be going up. Louis Vuitton is known for their vicious price increase and I’m sure we will be getting one soon. If you love the Damier Canvas Speedy 30, I suggest you buy one soon before that dreaded price increase comes.

When it comes to Tod’s handbags, all I really have to say is: What’s not to love? To this day, Tod’s has never failed in pleasing me. Simple, clean designs are often paired with eye-popping colors. You can have an attention grabbing handbag without the worry of looking too gaudy. Take, for example, the Tod’s Easy Sacca Grande. I have it pictured here in Saffron Yellow. Most people shy away from a yellow bag. But when you take the simple style of this bag into consideration, you really can’t deny that this would be such a fun bag for summer. The only thing I would change about this bag is the handles. I think handles that are the same color as the rest of the bag (or even white handles!) would suit this look much better. Overall, however, this bag would make a great choice for someone wishing to add a little color to their wardrobe. If you’re interested, you can pick one up at eLUXURY. It measures 12″ x 14″ x 6″ and it retails for $825. It is also available in Black.

When the name Bottega Veneta comes to mind, I think timeless, classic, and weaved leather. Any ideas why Picnic Blanket was the first thought that popped into my head when I ran into this piece? It’s called the Intrecciato multicolor tote and I don’t know about you ladies, but I’m definitely not feeling this piece. There’s just something about this plaid pattern that brings tablecloths to mind. I think a pattern like this should stay in the diner, not on your handbag. Let’s ignore the hues for a moment and admire the amazing craftsmanship of interwoven leather. As always, Bottega Veneta never fails to present a beautiful weaved piece. I adore the classic satchel shape that’s present and a full side-to-side zipper allows wide access to the interior of this bag, which is a plus in my book. I would like to note that the hues used on this bag are actually orange and cream, so that’s one small step away from an actual tacky tablecloth. What do you ladies think about this multicolore piece, and most importantly, would you wear this? You can find this bag carrying a steep price tag of $2,350 over at: NET-A-PORTER.COM
