Salvatore Ferragamo Apollonia Bag
Salvatore Ferragamo is a brand known for its ready-to-wear and picturesque shoes (that are divinely comfortable might I add). The shoes are statement pieces that stand on their own immaculately. But the handbags from Salvatore Ferragamo are not as well known as the shoes, but they should be. While I have not [...]

The patent leather handbag craze is far from over. It just keeps getting better and better as we transition from season to season. My favorite way to do patent leather is using the ombre effect. Don’t get me wrong, there have been horribly executed ren…

Richard Lambertson and John Truex have quickly become one of our favorite design teams. Their designs are flawless, meticulous, pay close attention to each detail, and are ultimately wearable. The only downfall they ever fall on is being too safe, too far away from monogramming their bags. I am not asking for a tacky monogram [...]

I think I get the reference here. I really think I do. I think Maison Martin Margiela is trying to give a not-so-sly nod to those eternally unfashionable t-shirts from the late 80s and early 90s with majestically airbrushed scenes of wolves or tigers or other predatory beasts on them. [...]

Yikes, my comment spam is out of control! I’m looking for ways to streamline the back end management for this site since right now I just don’t have the time to deal with all the technical issues…I just want to talk about bags! Right now I drowning in comment/email spam and need to make a million technical improvements, but don’t have the time or interest to do all the trouble shooting. I have a million bag related posts I want to make but as soon as I open up Moveable Type and see all the spam and my buggy HTML my brain just goes BLAAAHHH and I surf on to another site.

Wordpress looks interesting, but after aprox 8 years as an Moveable Type user I just don’t think I can teach myself a whole new blogging system. I’m thinking of migrating The Bag Blog over to Typepad which yes you have to pay for, but I really like the idea of having someone else take care of all the technical issues and deal with all the comment spam prevention etc

I’ve always been really proud of the fact that I handled both the technical and creative side of all my web sites, but at this point I give up and need some help! Any other bloggers about there that have found a good solution to this issue? Let me know: saralovering AT gmail DOT com
