For some odd reason, I love studs and crystals. Funny thing is though, I don’t like diamonds! Aren’t diamonds supposed to be a girls best friend? For me, shoes are my best friends! I’m definitely the type of woman that would prefer a pair of shoes over diamonds. Crazy I know, but that’s me!

Since I love studs, I’m sure it comes as no surprise that I would love the Maison Martin Margiela “Studded” Clutch. I love this clutch so much because I can see it carried in so many different ways. I can see myself carrying this clutch around when I’m sporting a rocker chick kind of look during the day or when I’m wearing a classy little black dress and I want to add some shine to my outfit. What a fun accessory to own when you can use it with a variety of outfits!

Just about every week I bring you another fabulous design by Rebecca Minkoff and this week is no different. Mrs. Minkoff has released another handbag that is making me drool and it’s the “Love Spell“. What a great name for a bag! It definitely put me in a love spell when I saw it and now I want it! Oh, Mrs. Minkoff release this in black with gold hardware I’m sure it would be a hit! At least it would be with me!

Obviously, what caught my eye about this bag was the ostrich-embossed leather which seems to be everywhere these days? I saw Michael Kors release handbags, shoes and accessories in the ostrich-embossed leather and I wasn’t that much of a fan of it. Michael Kors is one of my favorite designers but he released the collection in very vibrant colors. I’m not a colorful person so of course I wasn’t a fan. Now Rebecca Minkoff’s take on ostrich-embossed leather is fabulous! Not bright and more practical to match when it comes to wardrobe choices.

This might sound a little strange, but when I go hiking I like to carry with me a shopping tote. I just hate backpacks. So when we went on vacation last summer, I took a big floppy shopping tote with me for the mountain trails instead of a backpack. It was actually quite comfortable, but I didn’t have much more in it than a camera and some snacks. As you might have guessed, I have become quite partial to shopping totes now. I love looking at them everywhere I go! That’s why I am loving the Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent Printed Shopper Tote!

Recently, I wrote about the Prada Cabochon & Rhinestone Raso Clutch and I made a comment about how Prada had sort of fallen off my radar. Prior to seeing that clutch, nothing Prada had been putting out was doing it for me. I think the same thing has been happening with Gucci. Nothing really has that “wow” factor and the designer just hasn’t been on my radar. Well, until now! Yep, I have finally stumbled upon a Gucci bag that made my jaw drop! Meet the Gucci 1970 Bag in Python!

Perforations are back! At least in the House of Fendi they are. This time around, they arrive with an unusual presentation. A couple of season’s back, we saw the handbag within a handbag trend, a style fond to the peculiar bagista. This season, Fendi has selected both fashion statements and merged them together to create the ‘B Fab’ Perforated Bag. Thoughts? It originally reminded me of the Dooney & Bourke Florentine Collection with its vintage leather body, embroidered front patch and its dangling tassels gave off that impression as well.

The Zac Posen Sweet Danger Clutch is a very interesting-looking piece. When I first laid eyes on it, that glossy patent red leather really grabbed my attention. It is very bold for such a small bag. What I find most interesting, however, is the way the patent leather is displayed. The sides of this clutch are composed of patent leather strips that are tiled in rows. It sort of reminds me of slats of wood siding that have been painted red. Almost like a big red barn! I suppose the prism shape of this clutch only adds to that effect, making it a 3-dimensional big red barn!
