Recently I keep coming across bags called “Reversible Totes.” I understand the concept here is that you have two options in one bag. One day you have the black outside and the next day you go crazy and have the red. Although options are a nice selling point, it seems the more realistic possibility is that you pick the one you like on the outside and that’s how you use it. The reversible tote also brings up some questions: how do you work out the pockets and how the hell are you supposed to find your keys when digging around in shearling? So I ask, is there anyone out there that actually reverses their reversible tote?

Polka dots themselves have never gone out of style but recently we’ve especially noticed this timeless pattern popping up on purses in all price points, especially in the classic shades of black, white and red. Click on any picture for buying information.
If these designs from Miu Miu and Chloe are any indication, the answer is yes. We’ve relived the 80′s and are now going back to the brown-saturated 70′s. Sigh.
The 4th of July is almost here and in honor of Old Glory, I pay tribute to her most remarkable features: stars and stripes. Look below for more information on these patriotic purses.
Unless you’ve been under a rock for months you probably know that tomorrow Kate and Wills say ”I do” and this Royal Wedding looks like it’ll be some party. British royals, European royals and celebrities (most notable David and Victoria Beckham) will grace Westminster Abbey for the big day.
Kate is a bit of a fashionista and while we can assume her dress will be white, the rest is a mystery. So we’ve put together our list, some beautiful and some unusual. of the bags we would love to see Kate carry on her big day. Click on any picture for more information.
New Year’s parties are just around the corner and if you’re sticking to basic black for your outfit, a red lips clutch are a good choice to add a pop of fun and color. The question is, when it comes to a lips clutch, should you spend or save?
I won’t say Lulu Guinness originated the lips clutch but she has certainly made the design famous. Her lips come in patent leather, snakeskin and covered in Swarovski crystals. The Lulu Guinness metallic snakeskin lips will run you $380, while Sephora’s sequined lips cost just $20.
My initial reaction is to save. As cute as the lips clutch is, it’s not a piece I would pull out more than a few times per year. On the other hand, Lulu Guinness has made her name on quirky designs and the lips are her best-known so it would be kind of neat to own an original.
What do you think? Spend or save?
As many of you know, Emily of Cupcakes and Cashmere collaborated with Coach earlier this year to release the Emily’s Satchel. I loved it, but like many others I didn’t whip out my credit card fast enough to snag one from the limited run.
The pearly pink color and chain accents were my favorite things about the Cupcakes and Cashmere for Coach bag, and since my odds of getting one of those are almost nil, here are some pearly pink alternatives in several price points.
