KORS Michael Kors Knoxville Tote

I was lucky enough to go into the Michael Kors store in the Boca Town Center Mall yesterday, and to my surprise there were so many new purses and shoes! It was like I had died and went to fashion heaven! I’m a huge Michael Kors fan, and when I saw all the new merchandise I was literally drooling. I ended up purchasing the “Morgen Platform” sandal in black, and as I was paying I saw this handbag in the back of the store that looked stunning! The handbag was the KORS Michael Kors “Knoxville” Tote, and it really was a beautiful sight in person.What caught my eye about this handbag was the gold hardware. It was quite a few feet from the cash register to where this handbag was, and all I could see was the sparkling gold hardware. When I went to see the bag up close, the black leather looked absolutely beautiful with the gold hardware. It was as if it was this simple tote that was dressed up in this gorgeous hardware. The hardware is definitely was sold me about this bag. Without the hardware this bag would look like any other plain black leather bag. It was probably a good thing I bought the shoes before seeing the “Knoxville” tote, because I would of snagged the purse instead!You can purchase the KORS Michael Kors “Knoxville” Tote at Michael Kors for $448, and trust me this bag is worth every penny. One glance of this handbag, and you’ll be drooling over it just like I was!See KORS Michael Kors Knoxville Tote at: Michael KorsThe Chat: Knoxville!

Dakota Fanning Style: Balenciaga Giant Hardware City

It seemed like just yesterday I was watching my favorite child actress work the big screen so professionally. It’s Miss Dakota Fanning and she’s ditched the sandals for heels and her dolls for Balenciaga! She looks absolutely amazing and so grown up. The busy star arrived to the scene of a movie she’s working on, looking really fashionable in her outfit of choice. She pulled off a safe look in all black, neutral pants, and an excellent handbag of choice, a Balenciaga Giant Hardware City. It seems like every celebrity loves Balenciaga, and there’s really no secret to it, as many bagista’s would agree with me that the Italian based designer creates accessories of superior quality. Upon reviewing Dakota’s bag, I got a bit stumped on what the actual color of her City is. I can’t decide on whether her bag is charcoal grey, anthracite, or classic noir. Whichever of the three it is, she managed to match her handbag with her outfit, wonderfully.The giant gold toned hardware adds the perfect amount of bling to her look, and if you seek a giant Balenciaga of your own, you can purchase the top handle totes in a variety of colors through Bluefly or Shop Authentic Balenciaga on eBay

Fendi Marshmallow Flap Shoulder Bag

What’s fresh over at Fendi are these adorable Marshmallow Flap Bag’s. Since the moment I ran into them I knew these pieces were truly perfect for the lady who craves a great designer shoulder bag. Both carry this great silhouette resembling an oversized version of the infamous Fendi baguette hanging off a single shoulder strap.In more detail, soft gathered pleats meet at the center of this shoulder bag where you can also find an oversized double F’s metal logo. Secured by a front flap opening and sealed shut by means of a snap closure allows quick access to your goods in a simple and stylish method. A classic interpretation of leather and chain can be found on this chain-link shoulder strap, which adds character and sophistication compared to your typical simple leather shoulder strap. I absolutely adore both classic leather and logo cotton jacquard versions and I can see how both would serve best in different occasions.Although these shoulder bags are pleasant and stylish for years to come, I’m not too fond of the price tag at the moment. Perhaps I can score one of these on sale sometime later on this year, but if your truly in need of Fendi’s Marshmallow bags you can find the all-leather for $1,400 or the logo version for $1,000 by shopping at SaksFifthAvenue. Leopard Print for $2300 over at Net-a-Porter.The Chat: Fendi Marshmallow!

The Metallic Michael Kors Zuma Satchel

Oh my gosh! I can’t believe I’m heading back to school already! Fall is literally just around the corner, whether I’m ready for it or not. Now I’ve never been much of a fan of the Fall season. I mean, who wants to rake up all those leaves in the front yard? But I suppose there is something good that comes from Fall — Metallics! In fact, a great metallic handbag is my accessory of choice for the Fall season. I especially love the bronze shades! They are so pretty and they go with just about everything in my wardrobe!And speaking of metallics, I found this lovely metallic bag from Michael Kors while browsing on their official website. Introducing the Michael Kors Zuma Satchel. This bag is so unique and fun, I absolutely love the horizontal pleats and knot detail. It’s funny because this bag almost reminds me of a Kooba bag, only with a slightly higher price tag. I think what I like most about this bag, however, is that it is both neutral and shimmery at the same time. It would be perfect for day or for night, whatever the occasion may be! But just in case you’re not in the mood for a metallic handbag, the Michael Kors Zuma Satchel is available in Black as well!The Michael Kors Zuma Satchel measures 14.5″ x 11″ x 5.5″ and it retails for $995. Find it in Brass, Gunmetal, or Black at Michael Kors! also available at Bloomingdales.The Chat: The Zuma!

Thrifty Thrill Alert: 30% off all Handbags!

It’s Sophia Vergara, looking in great spirits after dining in at KOI restaurant in Hollywood. The first thing I noticed about this Latin beauty was her beautiful handbag of choice, and I really do mean that! I’m one of those Bagista’s that dreams of owning her very own Hermes someday, so the sight of any Birkin to me is pleasant. Sophia’s Birkin of choice goes by the name of gris or dove grey and I adore it. I think this color makes such a great bag alternative to the popular neutral shades of blacks, whites, and browns, although I’d prefer a much brighter color if I had the ability to own my very own Birkin. Safely pair this piece of luxury with an all black look just like Sophia did, or play with your appearance among denims and dresses. We all know Birkin’s don’t run cheap, so the best bet besides hitting your local Hermes boutique is to shop (or browse): Authentic Hermes on eBay*Auction photo courtesy of eBay Seller: flossyfigaro

Marc Jacobs Studded Stardust Crossbody Bag

Every girl should obtain a sparkly handbag or accessory in her collection, that’s if she doesn’t own one already. It’ll usually consist of a small bag or clutch that doesn’t get to go out on many outings but get’s the most attention towards its way. Mr. Marc Jacobs is no stranger to the small sparkly handbag, and obviously by popular demand, he’s brought out a new gem for his Collection. The Small Studded Stardust Crossbody Bag has got it going on, not only is it dazzling in shiny leather, it’s studded all over too! Quilted metallic leather we all know and love lines the exterior of this bag and petite studs embellish this for an even more eye catching effect. Judging by pictures, I first thought we had a glimmery wristlet coming our way, but instead, a lovely messenger style accessory. Dangle this on the shoulder or across the body with its adjustable flat leather strap, it’s appealing to the eye and it’s sure to brighten up the last finishes to any outfit.With the holiday seasons just around the corner, this Marc Jacob’s would make a great accessory to take along to those holiday parties and gatherings.
