Valentino is bringing the pretty for Resort 2013
By Amanda Mull on Nov 12, 2012 10:00 am 
As Resort 2013 collections start to roll into online retailers for pre-order, it’s easier to get an idea of what’s going on with each brand. For Reed Krakoff, blue is going to be huge, in nearly all of its imaginable shades. On the other hand, for Valentino, the major theme seems to be pretty. Pretty beading, pretty rhinestones, pretty colors, pretty shapes. Read More

Man Bag Monday: Barneys New York Co-Op
By Amanda Mull on Nov 12, 2012 08:00 am 
By this site’s very nature, we spend a decent amount of time talking about things that are very expensive. Expensive handbags, expensive accessories, expensive shoes over at TalkShoes. Back in the real world, though, we like things that feel like a good value for our money – the biggest luxury bang for the buck, if you will. Lucky for the dudes out there, men’s bags often provide that in spades. Read More

By Emily Anderson on Nov 09, 2012 04:00 pm 
The Givenchy Antigona is having a moment. Earlier we spotted it on the arm of the gorgeous Miranda Kerr, and today, here’s reformed Disney poppet Hilary Duff taking her beige Givenchy Antigona Tote to pilates. Amanda made a bold prediction 3 months ago that the Givenchy Antigona Tote could very well be the next “it” bag, and it looks like her intuition was correct! Read More

Now that both crazy storms have passed through the Northeast (and I have come back from the vacation that allowed me to miss the first one), the PurseBlog team is back at full steam, which means we’re back to spending a ridiculous amount of time poking around online, looking for good ways to empty our wallets. It’s Friday, though, which means we’re looking for ways to keep some of our cash for ourselves; there are cocktails that need to be bought and consumed this weekend, after all. Read More

By Hilary Sloan on Nov 09, 2012 10:30 am 
So, I have a bit of an obsession with all things Helmut Lang. To me, the drapey, architectural pieces feel modern and sexy – but because nothing is too fitted, the clothes are ALWAYS comfy. There are a few brands I rely on when I need to feel good about how I look and Helmut Lang is one of my go-tos. Read More

By Emily Anderson on Nov 08, 2012 03:00 pm 
Spotted: Coach darling Michelle Trachtenberg toting the Coach Candace Carryall in Cognac. Sometimes I’m reminded of how much I genuinely love Gossip Girl, despite the fact that I’ve forgotten to watch the last 2-3 seasons altogether. Someone update me – did Georgina ever make another appearance after baby-dumping on Dan? According to the online gossip rags, Michelle was definitely present when they filmed the final episodes of Gossip Girl in mid-October, so I guess we’ll be seeing ol’ Georgina once again, on what is certain to be an utterly scandalous series finale that will be absolutely rife with designer goods.

By Amanda Mull on Nov 08, 2012 01:00 pm 
In the short life of the Reed Krakoff brand, its namesake has well proved that he knows a thing or two about the kinds of handbags that women want to buy. You would think that we would have guessed that about him going in; after all, Krakoff is the head of none other than American handbag behemoth Coach, a brand that just keeps on growing and improving under his leadership.
