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.

Foley + Corinna Metallic Snake Moto Hobo

Glancing at this hobo for the first time, I would have never imagined this odd ball belonging to Foley + Corinna. It’s pretty different from the usual accessories the All-American brand tends to release.Actually, this is the first time I run upon the moto style hobo’s that F+C has introduced this Fall/Winter season, and frankly, I like them.From the looks of this, it’s not your typically structured handbag, as you might need to take a few to figure out what’s where on this slouchy hobo.There’s dangling tassel zipper pulls running vertically downward and adjustable buckle mechanisms to gather can be found at its sides. As for the uneven body frame, if you’re not a fan of a slouchy bag, it might be a hassle to maintain upright, but in return, you’ll adapt that vintage bohemian-chic look Foley + Corinna proudly presents.Once again animal prints make yet another statement, this time around it’s metallic snakeskin embossed onto this leather bag. The iridescent hues of copper and silvers makes this hobo wardrobe flexible and of course, the extra thick shoulder strap will bring nothing but comfort during those long periods of wear.If flashy snake prints aren’t your style, the solid pebbled leather version might suit you best.Discover Foley + Corinna accessories online through: ShopbopThe Chat: FC Moto!

Sneak Peek: Miss Gustto Handbags

After seeing the Gustto Occhialli Bag featured during the 30 Days of Giveaways going on here at Bag Bliss and The Bag Forum, my interest in the brand was instantly rejuvenated. But how could it not be? After all, the bag was beautiful! And I have always had this deep admiration for Agathe Planchon. Her company began as a small, internet-based business. It certainly didn’t take Agathe long, however, to climb her way to the top of the fashion world and now her handbags are loved by celebrities and bagistas alike! Gustto handbags are simple, gorgeous, and unique. What more could a girl really ask for?Well, I’m glad you asked because just when it seemed like it couldn’t possibly get any better, it actually did! Introducing a brand new line from Agathe Planchon — The Miss Gustto Handbag Collection! This new line was created for young and adventurous ladies on the go. It offers trendy and versatile pieces, everything you would expect from the Gustto name. But get this ladies, these new handbags are set at a lower, more affordable price-point. So if this was the “more” that a girl could ask for, then I think Agathe needs a big round of applause!Pictured below are a couple of my favorite groupings from the new Miss Gustto Line. The Fiore Collection features beautifully embossed leather and is reminiscent of the Gustto Pavia Bag. The Vintage Collection features adorable little studs and woven detailing.For more information about the new Miss Gustto Handbag Collection, please visit Gustto’s official website.Otherwise, be sure to look for it at stores such as Bloomingdales. The collection is due out after January 1st!The Chat: miss gustto!
