Neeru Goel suspends sterling hearts and black lotus blossoms from a wide gemstone choker. Set in silver, polished onyx brings a bold allure to this contemporary Indian design.
Even though I don’t need to buy many Valentine gifts (cannot afford to), I love surfing thru many sites to appreciate all the new stuff available to express love. The most latest is this Saint Valentine Tous 2008. It is in the shape of a heart with the word love in different languages: Love (Spanish), amour (French), love (English), amore (Italian) and liebe (German). So bother not if your girl is from another continent as she will be able to read love in her lingo! And to top this it has a bear right in between these love words. To make it more special and pricey, this heart is created out of 18 carat gold with diamond studded bear. Just perfect for the heart you love from the bottom of your heart!
Exclusively made for the day of lovers by Tous, the price is not yet known.
The atrocity that Paris put together makes my eyes hurt but Nicky looks alright. The sisters play nice and go for a nice shop together at Kitson. What do you think of her Black and White Stripe Balenciaga? Caption it!!
we find Christina Aguilera is one of a few women who can sport red lipstick and red heels and look absolutely stunning. On her way out to Hyde, Christina paired skinny jeans, a cream jacket, and stunning Balenciaga bag together to make a casually fashionable outfit.
In Milan in September, the Prada runway show was a buzz with Miuccia filling the runway with silk-printed tunics, cropped flared trousers, and nymph and fairy prints. The backdrop looked as if it was from a girls imagination of doodles and drawings while
daydreaming. Miuccia’s focus was “about trying to find a new creativity.” The fairy print is the iconic print for the Spring season and is seen on their handbags, clothing, and even their shoe boxes. The Prada Fairies Bag is available in two sizes and is said to be a limited edition. How limited is yet to be known, but Prada is staying that the boutiques will receive a limited number of the bags and pre-orders are not an option.
After showing you two horrible prints/patterns on handbags for Spring, I am ending your week with an absolutely stunning piece. This Prada Bag is majestic and enchanting. The deerskin leather is said to have a slight sparkle to it. This bag is absolutely gorgeous, just takes my breath away!
The L.A.M.B. Signature Chateau Wristlet Clutch
Love this new bag by L.A.M.B.
It comes with a detachable chain link strap, which is so perfect for a couple of reasons. During the day it can be attached to one of your large totes or handbags for easy access when not wanting to dig through to locate your wallet. Or when night rolls around, simply ditch the big purse and wear it as a wristlet or detach to carry in hand.
The L.A.M.B. Signature Chateau Wristlet Clutch is Price: $345
The Tinsley Mortimer Samantha Thavasa Handbag
There’s a new handbag line in Tinsley-town, meet the Samantha Thavasa Handbag designed by Tinsley Mortimer.
The Japanese brand, Samantha Thavasa is famous for recruitment of foreign celebrities as promotional models and bag designers. The brand’s star-studded roster includes the Hilton sisters, Beyonce Knowles, Victoria Beckham, Maria Sharapovaess, Penelope Cruz and her sister Monica Cruz, and yes even the lovely blonde socialite Tinsley Mortimer. So naturally, Tinsley has been spotted all over town with her latest red/blue/green plaid creations, designed for the fall 2008 handbag collection.
side note: The Tinsley Mortimer handbags are sold on Madison Avenue, NYC at the Samantha Thavasa Boutique.
Katie Holmes has gone from the girl on the Creek, to the girl with the wacko husband, to the girl who dresses 10 years older than her age. I liked her on the Creek and I also love her chic style these days (though like I said she looks much older than she actually is). And now she is carrying a bag that literally weighs half her body weight, I kid you not.
Katie Holmes has been seen sporting a Hermes HAC around town, though not for travel, for day-to-day wear. The HAC, Haut a Courrois, was actually the original ‘Birkin’. 
The HAC and the Birkin are indeed different; the HAC is taller than the Birkin and the handles are shorter. The HAC comes in a 28, 32, and 36 cm size whereas the Birkin is available in 25, 30, 35, and 40. The debate is on as to the size of Katie’s HAC. I am sticking to my original assessment, it is a 50 cm HAC, but many members of our Purse Forum think it is a 40 cm. I am taking into account that Katie is very thin and 5′9, and since she and I are about the same height it looks very similar to the 50 cm I have tried on. The next debate is the leather and color. My guess, Fjord in Rouge VIF, but again, there are so many Hermes reds and I can be wrong. What many of us are in agreement on is that this bag is far too large for Katie. In my opinion this bag is meant for travel, not to carry to Good Morning America. What could she need to carry inside the show? Suri? Tom? A space ship? Anyhow, this bag will cost around $8,900, give or take, depending on the size and leather.

Hilary Duff earns style kudos in my book for this winning combination of a creamy metallic trench (so hot right now) and a classic-but-not Marc Jacobs Quilted Stam Bag in black. Though I got a little frustrated with Marcy Marc’s non-stop regurgitation of his quilted and patchwork style, the Quilted Stam is the best of the bunch. The chunky chain link strap and zipped front pocket create a signature look that’s sure to be in style for quite some time. Marc Jacobs Quilted Stam Bag is also versatile enough for everyday living, making it a smart buy for any fashionista.
