Save, Spend, Splurge: Clear Clutches
By Amanda Mull on Apr 02, 2012 08:00 am 
Over the past few years, clutches molded out of clear lucite or acrylic have enjoyed wide popularity, at least on runways. It’s a trend that nearly every brand has touched on at one point or another, but because not everyone jumped on the bandwagon at once, a clear evening bag still feels fresh and modern. Don’t let that fool you, … Read the rest

Just One Day Left: Win A Lanvin Bag – From PurseBlog and Barneys New York
By Hilary Sloan on Apr 01, 2012 10:00 am 
Lanvin is one of those designers that gets everyone at the PurseBlog office amped up and ready to shop – Vlad even has a pair of Lanvin kicks. We are total fan-girls (and guy). The silhouettes, the fabrics…and especially the accessories.
We teamed up with Barneys New York to hand pick our fave piece of the season, the Lanvin Quilted … Read the rest

By Amanda Mull on Mar 30, 2012 02:00 pm 
I frequently rant in this space about designers who overprice bags made from materials other than leather; it’s one of my personal pet peeves in the accessories world and a trap that consumers fall into too often. And yet, against my better judgment (for several reasons), I find my interest piqued by the Delvaux Brillant MM. It’s just so…red. … Read the rest

By Amanda Mull on Mar 30, 2012 11:00 am 
Translating a winning design aesthetic from shoes to handbags can be tricky. Just ask Christian Louboutin, who has the footwear world by the tail but is still trying to figure out his perfect handbag formula. Brian Atwood, another shoe designer that inspires fainting spells among the heel-inclined, is also taking his first serious steps into the handbag arena, starting with … Read the rest

By Amanda Mull on Mar 30, 2012 08:00 am 
So far in our Fall 2012 Trend Week, we’ve talked a lot about trends with big personality – fur, giant studs, jeweled embellishments, velvet and calf hair. The question, of course, is how do designers manage to take those bold ideas and translate them into something wearable and chic instead of kitschy and silly? For fall, the answer seems … Read the rest

By Megs Mahoney Dusil on Mar 29, 2012 05:00 pm 
Hands down, Prada has designed my favorite line for spring. The brand’s throwback designs infuse touches of Cadillac cars and flames reminiscent of the movie Grease. Prada’s shoes have wowed me and I can’t stop thinking about the entire collection. In fact, if someone threw me $20,000 just for funsies, I might spend it all in one place, and … Read the rest

By Amanda Mull on Mar 29, 2012 02:00 pm 
Lately we’ve been asking you guys to pick which celeb looked better carrying a particular bag, but today, we’d like to turn the tables a little bit: one celeb, two different days, two different bags. The star in question is actress Dakota Fanning, who I love for a lot of reasons, including that we both share the hometown of … Read the rest

By Amanda Mull on Mar 29, 2012 11:00 am 
Every now and then, Megs and I will both get totally obsessed with the same designer or piece at the same time, but without really telling the other about it. At some point, we then realize that we’ve both been spontaneously lusting after the same stuff, and we spend several minutes gushing about how much we want something, quickly followed … Read the rest

By Amanda Mull on Mar 29, 2012 08:00 am 
For today’s installment of our Fall 2012 Trends Week, we’re actually bringing you two, two, two trends in one! Calf Hair and Velvet were both all over the accessories on the Fall 2012 runways, and although I was initially tempted to split them up, talking about them together makes more sense. They’re both soft, low-pile materials that have rich … Read the rest
