Rampage Cadence Cross-Body Tote Bag | Convertible Snakeskin Ruched Handbag

Posted on: Oct 27

Rampage shows us what happens when a designer follows the trends, and decides to use all of them on the one handbag, with this confused Cadence cross-body tote.

Snakeskin printed fabric. Check. Ruching. Check. Eyecatching metal hardware. Check and check. It's just simply too much. Honestly, the ruching would have been too much on its own. All those ruffles remind me of Jerry Seinfeld's infamous puffy shirt. But when you add a snakeskin texture, especially to tacky faux leather, and smack an ornamental nameplate on front it's serious overkill.

At least Rampage has kept the color palette neutral. Can you imagine the Cadence in fuschia or lime green? Double ick.

It's a shame because this is one functional little number. A large zippered envelope separates the Cadence into three easy-to-organize compartments. Add some gadget pouches up front and a zippered pocket in the back and there really is a place for everything. The dual straps are ideal for over-the-shoulder toting, but they're not the only carrying option. As the name suggests, you can simply attach the longer strap to convert it to a cross-body bag.

If you're comfortable with the flamboyance, the Cadence is one practical purse. I'm afraid I just can't look past all those frills, even for the bargain basement price.

Coach Bonnie Cashin Wallet | Bold Graphic Colorful Wristlet

If you want a well-respected Coach handbag with a bit of a different edge, then one of the brand's graphic pieces is a great option. Inspired by Coach's first designer, Bonnie Cashin, this cute and colorful slogan wristlet can perk up even the dullest winter day.

More like a small feminine purse or wallet than a day-to-day handbag, this little baby wont hold many of your belongings. You may have to narrow your handbag contents down to a card and change, and maybe a phone, but it is possibly worth it for a casual night out with a funky wristlet to show off!

Ashley M Bow Tie Evening Bag | Fun Pink Sequined Party Purse

Posted on: Sep 27

Ashley M is one of those rare fashion labels which doesn't take itself too seriously. Its accessories are unashamedly cheap and cheerful, flights of fancy that favor fun over chic styling.

That's definitely the case with this bow tie purse. It's not intended to suit a red carpet occasion or night at the theater. It's much more at home at a retro party or loud karaoke night with girls.

Its large sequins and even bigger bow all scream "look at me!" There’s nothing shy or retiring about this combination. The shoulder strap could be a little longer, but I'm thankful for its soft satin finish. It's the kind of strap that knows girls tend to show bare shoulders on a night out!

This fuschia purse is the brightest and boldest bow tie bag. Black, wine, and olive green are much more subdued. But I figure if you're going to carry a bag covered in sequins and a great big bow, why not go all the way?

This Ashley M purse isn't the height of fashion, but it's not trying to be. For just $30, it's a fun accessory for those nights when you want to let your hair down.

More Features of This Ashley M Evening Bag

  • Frame kiss lock entry
  • Fabric lining
  • A single shoulder strap with a 6 inch drop
  • Measures 9.5 x 2 x 4 inches

Lodis Padova Primadonna Clutch | Luxurious Patent Designer Purse

Posted on: Sep 4

Design doesn't have to mean complicated structures and innovative shapes. Sometimes, as we see with classics such as Chanel or Oscar de la Renta, the timeless shapes and quality materials can speak for themselves.

At first glance I was taken aback by the simplicity and elegant lines of this rectangular purse. With no embellishment other than the patent color, this Lodis Padova clutch relies entirely on the clear quality of its materials, and the sharp smooth neat metal frame. If you like bits and pieces with your handbags, you may feel underwhelmed with this purse - but the mastery of its craftsmanship should speak for itself!

The two colors of this designer purse, aubergine and fuchsia, are great examples of bold colors looking dramatically classy. Even the pink, generally out of place at upmarket dos, would look very at home. Add to this a glimmering sheen of patent leather, and you have a very impressive little bag!

Don't expect much room with a structured purse like this - the space is so tight that you would even struggle to carry that must vital of belongings, the mobile phone. If you treat the clutch as a wallet, however, it will have all the organization you need, with spaces for money, business cards and all those scraps of paper us girls seem intent on collecting!

All in all, I struggle to have anything negative to say about this Lodis beauty. Even the lack of handle, with such a slender purse, can be recovered from. Oh dear - I have fallen in love!

More Features of this Lodis Padova Primadonna Clutch

  • Available in Aubergine and Fuschia
  • Multiple interior pockets
  • Dimensions: 4.25" x 4.25"
  • Patent leather exterior

Magid Tie-Dyed Paper Straw Shopper | Cheap Colorful Boho Handbag

Posted on: Aug 31

This fun shopper shows us that tie-dyed fabrics don't have to look like hippie throwbacks. By keeping things subtle, Magid brings boho style that isn't stuck in the 60s.

The easy breezy look is accentuated by the paper straw finish. It's tightly woven for a little extra strength, but I still don't expect it to last very long. But at $38 retail, it won't cost too much to replace! The colorful tie-dyed look is continued throughout the handles, which are strangely removable. You couldn't easily carry this bag without them, so I wonder why Magid gave us the option!

Affordable handbags like this don't tend to come with a lot of extras, so I was pleasantly surprised to peek inside this one. It's lined in bright, satiny fabric, and there's a zippered pocket and a cell phone slip too. Turn the bag upside down and you'll even find some protective metal feet! That should make the straw exterior last a little longer.

The casual styling and candy colors of this Magid shopper mean you'll find it most useful in the warmer months. But don't put it in the back of your closet once winter strikes. It'll look cute carrying fresh produce home from the markets at any time of year!

More Features of This Magid Tie-Dye Shopper

  • Snap closure
  • Dual 19 inch handles with an 8 inch drop
  • Measures 11 x 4.5 x 14.5 inches
  • Available in orange, fuschia, and turquoise

Big Buddha Roxy Baby Cosmetics Case | Cute Affordable Metallic Colored Makeup Purse

Posted on: May 24

With a flash of fresh color, this Roxy Baby cosmetics case from Big Buddha is impossible to ignore.

The shades are daring: fuschia pink, aqua blue, and lime green. These metallic tones are bound to be a hit with teens, but older folks may long for something a little more subdued. Personally I like to carry a little color stashed away in my handbag, especially if I'm supposed to dress down!

A zippered pocket on the back of the purse is the Roxy Baby's only organizational feature. I don't feel like a cosmetics case needs a lot of pouches or pockets, particularly when it's on the small side as this one is, but others may feel differently. I'm much more interested in the easy-clean smooth metallic interior. Any makeup spills should simply wipe away with a damp cloth.

If you like the look of the Roxy Baby, you may be interested in the larger tote. I prefer my glitz in smaller doses, but there's no doubting its impact!

More Features of This Big Buddha Cosmetics Case

  • Top zip entry
  • Measures 7 x 4.5 x 2 inches
  • Weighs 2 pounds

Alexander Wang Brenda Bag | Washed Black Leather Cord Zip Purse

Posted on: May 19

Picking up where the Donna left off, Alexander Wang is channeling the 80s again with the Brenda.

The washed black leather just begs to be touched with its velvety plush finish. This softness is in stark contrast to the shiny double cross-body chain and edgy zippered pockets. In a world of oversized handbags, the Brenda almost looks petite. Yet those zip pouches up front are just the start of the handy storage options.

Two more slip pockets above the zippered compartments add functionality without making the purse look too busy. There's more inside, with a zip and patch pocket on hand to help you stay effortlessly organized. A zip top closure keeps your precious cargo safe while adding a little more edge.

This classic black bag has just the right amount of retro edge to be on trend, yet timeless. I just can't say the same for the acid wash denim blue or saccharine fuschia shades. While they might suit the current taste for all things 1980s, they're bound to look a little passé next season.

More Features of This Alexander Wang Washed Leather Purse

  • Silver hardware
  • Cupro lined interior
  • A single shoulder strap with a zippered leather insert and 22 inch drop
  • Measures 7 x 10 x 3 inches
  • Comes with a dustbag

Christian Louboutin Mount Street Bag | Darling Feminine Fuschia Petal Adorned Bag

Posted on: Apr 16

As a label, Louboutin usually goes for feminine and sophisticated, or sleek and elegant, but this purse is downright girly. This Mount Street bepetaled purse in high-voltage hot pink is just in time for spring and the fashion world's obsession with florals.

With just a glance you can see that this bag will not be for everyone, not even for all the die hard Christian Louboutin obsessives out there. It's too quirky and frou-frou to be on everyone's hit list, but I have a feeling that it is going to make a big splash with many, nonetheless.

Personally, I think the pink petal-covered pouch is refreshing. The shape is soft and the simplicity of the metal bean chain makes it look delicate. The Louboutin trademark shoe clasp is an irreverent touch that walks the fine line between elegant and over-the-top.

There is nothing practical about this bag. That's just not the point of it. It is a fun piece that will coordinate well with a sleek LBD or this seasons floral dresses. I can see a lot of women using it as a statement piece, except that the price of $1,495 is a little off-putting. Honestly, I also think it's a little overpriced, even for such an established designer, being that is neither practical nor sturdy, nor could you use it on many occasions. Unless you're going through an extended SJP phase and quirky is the name of your game.

  • Signature red-lined interior

Christian Louboutin Bow Clutch | Adorable Patent Leather Purse with Girly Accent

Posted on: Feb 21

Christian Louboutin has a knack for creating ultra glamorous, and ultra girly accessories. In lesser hands this clutch purse could have looked childish and cheap. But instead this bow clutch has just enough girly charm to be fabulous. No wonder current It girl Kim Kardashian adores hers!

Kim's clutch is a neutral nude shade which is significantly tamer than the party girl herself. I'd have thought this wild blue leopard print purse would have been more her speed. It's also available in black, white, fuschia, red, candy apple green, and so many other shades that there's bound to be one to suit your favorite party dress.

The size is perfect for tucking underneath your arm or carrying in your hand, but its streamlined shape may force you to leave the luxuries at home. I'm so used to clutches with bare interiors, so the zippered pouch is a welcome change. It's ideal for storing loose change, and that hot phone number you don't want to lose!

At $910 retail, it's a lot more than I'd want to pay for an evening accessory. That doesn't stop me lusting after it though!

More Features of This Christian Louboutin Leopard Print Purse

  • Front flap with magnetic snap closure
  • Signature sole-print satin lining

Linea Pelle Danielle | Medium Brown Lambskin Leather Shoulder Bag

Posted on: Feb 17

On the heels of a colorful fashion week, a brown leather handbag seems a bit simple. Despite a lack of this season's vibrant colors, any gal will admit that it's just one of those great basics that can pull an outfit together when you're not feeling creative.

The Linea Pelle Danielle is exactly that type of purse. There's nothing particularly groundbreaking about it. However, it's cute, easy, and most likely goes with over half of your closet. If that's not a basic, then I don't know what is.

Linea Pelle's style is usually somewhat casual but always trendy, which has made it popular among young L.A. celebs like Lauren Conrad and Jessica Simpson. Though probably best known for their Dylan bag, Linea Pelle's Danielle is definitely worth a look.

It fits the need for a slightly relaxed, cute, everyday handbag with a few practical features to make it functional. You'll find the expected zippered pocket inside, but this medium-sized bag also has an exterior flap pocket that gives the Danielle just a hint of a saddlebag look. The sides have adjustable tabs for customizing the width.

The Medium Danielle Shoulder Bag retails for $395, but the style also comes in several sizes and even a tote bag version. For the seasonable pop of color, look for this Linea Pelle purse in fuschia.

More Features of the Medium Danielle

  • Measures 10.5 x 9.5 inches
  • Adjustable side tabs
  • Zebra-print lining
  • Solid brass hardware
