Remember all the giant bows of the 80s? It seemed like they were everywhere; in hair, on bags, on belts. Well, I have been beginning to see a lot of them again lately, and I hugely prefer Chloe's sleek version on the Rodas to the variety found in mall kiosks.

The smooth matte ...

Just as I was beginning to think Roxy had grown up this fluffy monstrosity crosses my path and changes my mind.

It's called the I Wish, but frankly the only thing I wish is that Roxy hadn't created this syrupy sweet accessory. I've been known to enjoy faux fur bags in the ...

A simple evening bag for the affordable price of $59 is always going to be a good option. Finding one in a really unusual shade of royal blue like this is even better.

As far as oversized bows go, I'm generally running the other direction. It's not that I dislike bow details, but I do tend to steer clear when the detail is taking over like on this Moschino Cheap and Chic Giada Bag.

Although it's hard to look past the giant Minnie Mouse bow ...

There's often a fine line between bags that are feminine and bags that are frou-frou. By creating the Wanda in conservative and luxurious black satin, Lulu Guinness has designed a purse that's girly without being garish.
