Vanessa Hudgens is back in Botkier – this time the bag and boots!

By Andrea Kiliany Thatcher on October 31st, 2008

We’ve already spotted High School Musical 3 star Vanessa Hudgens toting around her Botkier Morgan small satchel, $650. But now she’s got the boots, too.

Hudgens is wearing the Botkier Xenia boots, $725, as she arrives at the airport.

While the boots and bag aren’t exactly matchy matchy, we do think some stylist needs to school Hudgens in not wearing one brand head to toe.

It’s no surprise that High School Musical 3 star Vanessa Hudgens is on top of the fall fringe trend.

By Andrea Kiliany Thatcher on October 2nd, 2008

Bargain POTW.jpg

This one requires a stretch of some people’s definition of “bargain,” but everyone wants a Marc by Marc Jacobs bag.

With zipper details and a turnlock closure, the Rudy Totally Turlock Shoulder Bucket is on-trend for fall, and is on sale for $179 down from $250.

Even with these trendy details, the bucket silhouette is one you’ll carry forever and the name is one that will still be meaningful five years from now.

What more could you ask of the Barneys sale?

Designer Pick of the Week: D&G Dolce & Gabbana Calfskin Leather Duffle Bag

By Andrea Kiliany Thatcher on September 30th, 2008

D&G men's duffle.jpg

We don’t care if this is a men’s duffle bag, it’s gorgeous.

The D&G Dolce & Gabbana calfskin leather duffle bag, $895, would make such a chic carry on. And we wouldn’t even be opposed to carrying it as a purse on those days when we have lots of errands and don’t want to add more plastic bags to the landfill.

The distressed leather has just the right amount of shine for fall, the gray is a terrific alternative to black and even the brasstone hardware works.

Would you wear a men’s bag? Tell us in the comments.

Louis Vuitton Damier window display a little too realistic

By Andrea Kiliany Thatcher on August 18th, 2008

Louis Vuitton window.jpgClick image to enlarge.

The new Louis Vuitton Damier Graphite collection for men (though we think it would look fab on a woman, too) has been attracting a lot of attention. Some of it inadvertent.

The heist-themed dispays feature the Damier bag under a glass case like a display in a museum in one window, and a mirror image of the scene on the other side except the bag appears to have been stolen. The bag is missing, the glass is broken and fake security lasers are active.

Apparently the scene was so realistic some police officers went into the store to investigate!

By Andrea Kiliany Thatcher on July 15th, 2008

Alexander Mcqueen biker bag copy.jpg

In honor of the new US-only Alexander McQueen online shop, we decided to choose another item from the designer to feature for our designer pick of the week.

This Biker Flapper shoulder bag, $1,740, really caught our eye.

A lot of times it’s the less detailed, more “everyday” designer bags we really latch on to because when you’re spending that much money, you really do want to be able to wear the bag almost every day.

By Andrea Kiliany Thatcher on June 30th, 2008

New LV.jpg

When we show you a new Louis Vuitton bag, like the $1,050 Palermo PM at right, or share our Louis Vuitton resort handbags preview, it’s a pretty sure bet that cheaper lookalikes will soon be popping up on street corners and online auctions like Ebay.

But a new court ruling provides restitution to Moet Hennessey Louis Vuitton, punishing Ebay for allowing the sale of fake LV’s, Christian Dior fashions, and several prestige fragrances.

Designer Pick of the Week: Nappa A Hobo Bag

By Andrea Kiliany Thatcher on June 17th, 2008

PRada nappa bag.jpg

We know it’s a little off, but this Nappa A Hobo bag , $2,120, is really growing on us.

It works because the leather looks so soft and supple, the ruched ruffles don’t look stiff like a lot of cheaper versions.

And the monochromish silver and black color palette is sophisticated enough to keep all the detail from overwhelming.
