Last month Vlad and I had the pleasure of meeting with Monica Botkier at a Saks event. I have been wanting to meet Monica for months now (let’s make that years but I was not sure it would ever happen). This beautiful designer has made a name for herself in the accessory world, having her [...]

It is finally summer! Sure in Florida summer means over 90 degree weather and lots of afternoon thunderstorms, but I just love summer. This summer we have a few trips planned, and at least one will be to NYC. Something I have always wanted to do is picnic in Central Park. It is not [...]

Mulberry Ombre Bayswater Bag
I have been a fan of the Mulberry Bayswater Bag for quite some time. There is something so simple yet appealing about the design. And yes, it is not super feminine. It is practical and rugged at times, but beautiful when combinations like purple ostrich and a bespoke green crocodile carried by [...]

Sex and the City movie poster
In about one hour masses of people will be sitting down to watch the most highly talked about movie of the summer, Sex and the City. But is this movie worth the hype? To be honest, I would not want to be in their place, nor the producers place, nor [...]

• Sex and the City (no spoiler) College Girl and I went to see this last night. The plot of the movie surprised me, but it shouldn't have. And I hadn't heard the plot anywhere else. In one sense, it was like seeing several episodes of the show at once. It was a fun movie, with a......

When I first laid eyes on the Diane von Furstenberg Wrap Bag I fell in love with it! I had to tell myself to get over the $10,000 Crocodile Wrap Bag, but I am still kicking myself for not getting the chic blue leather version. So if you feel the same, and you would love [...]

Mary J Blige with her Lambertson Truex Sienna Clutch

Brian Atwood Daphne Printed Clutch
I have a new obsession with leopard print. At times I have strayed away from this print, but lately I have been embracing it. But it is not that I want this print on my pleather pants, rather I want it on my accessories. I have been drooling over a pair [...]

This bag is the envy of the season. It’s a favorite of Linda Evangelista’s, who is a lifetime member of our “It” girls. Scared of living reptiles like we are? The blue crocodile ($33,000) is to die for. Whichever you desire, don’t desire it too much because they are next [...]

Christmas is definitely metallic season and what can we say, we love metallic!! We have chosen these everyday bags to ring in the holiday season with sparkle. Yes, we are obsessed with the Fendi Spy, but what can be more fabulous this holiday season than this Halogram version of the already cult [...]

Finally! The Spy Bag in a smaller version for everyday use (and for those of us who are not vertically blessed at 5′11″). This is still a roomy bag at 14″ wide and the honey leather is the perfect neutral shade for spring. Snatch it up quickly before eLuxury [...]

I am offended as a consumer that a bag such as this would be designed, manufactured and distributed for my consumption. It does not say anything to the credit of Fendi that celebrities are tripping all over their cowboy boots for this bag because we all know they have vulgar taste and no trend [...]

In keeping with our consistency of featuring every single version of the Spy Bag available, here it is in denim. In general, denim bags are totally trailer trash but with all the detailings in the embroidery on this Denim Spy, it just makes it all the more decadent (especially when it’s $3,090 for a [...]

We love the clean lines, interesting shapes and suprising variety of this action packed collection. The Kaiser was definitely not lacking in inspiration and the brilliance was how he decided to use it all in one showing. There was a hint of military, kimono-esque dresses, modern floral shapes and a little bit of [...]

You know what? That’s it. We’ve had it with the Spy and all its ridiculous incarnations. We forgave the trashy denim spy but this we will not tolerate. It looks like it was made from a smelly polyester thrift store shirt. The printed satin doesn’t even go with the color [...]

I like this version of the B Bag much better but I’m not exactly running out to get one just yet. This just makes more sense to me than the overly oversized B because at least it looks like a classic ladylike bag instead of some supersized cartoon boobs with eyelids. It has [...]

I would like to include in our review of Fendi’s show an acknowledgement of the photographers accident, which although took away from the great show, is in and of itself a story that bears our respect. In order to allow front row attendees a comfy experience, they overcrowded the photographer’s stand. The floor [...]

Maybe it’s because Halloween is upon us, but when I look at this bag all that comes to mind is that it looks like Chewbacca’s shoes. I doubt that’s what Fendi had in mind - they should really pay more attention to their bag designs so as to not make anything resembling [...]

I find this super simple Selleria from Fendi quite refreshing. I love that the simplicity showcases the silver metallic, making that the highlight of the bag. This is a large bag, 13″ H x 17″ W, so it’s perfect for travel or work. Practical and sophisticated with just the right amount of [...]

Just a mini update, from the internet-less world. We are in what I would imagine my mother’s childhood to be like. Only worse. There are no friends outside to go play with and my peanut butter and jelly sandwich would taste so much better next to the internet filled computer. Somehow, Comcast did not believe [...]
