Judith Lieber Blaze Dragee Handheld Satchel

Choosing the right designer handbag is as important as choosing shoes, jewellery, or any other accessory.

A designer handbag is very versatile and can change your look from sexy and sassy to cool and sophisticated. So let’s look at choosing one that’s right for you.Though Judith Lieber is responsible for some of the most stunning purses around, she’s also not exactly known for being Ms. Practicality. That all changes with her Blaze Dragee Handheld Satchel, which has handles (duh) and a roomy interior. Both elements make it much more useful than, say, a pig-shaped, jeweled clutch.The handles are encrusted with Austrian crystals. The blush color is understated and quite pretty. Available to pre-order for $2695 at Neiman Marcus.

bottega-veneta-illusion-tote-large-white.jpg

Spring is around the corner and most peoples thoughts turn to wanting to look good wearing their summer clothes.So, made in Italy this Bottega Veneta Illusion Tote is certainly a step in that direction. Though I am an obsessive fan of almost all things Bottega, this tote doesn’t impress me at all. It’s bland with its attempt at “illusion,” which, in case you hadn’t guessed, involve the rounded woven insets - they’re supposed to look like falling coils. In other words, boring. Bottega Veneta Illusion Tote  vailable for $2600 at Neiman Marcus.

fergie-and-her-cartier-marcello-handbag.jpg

I’m not a huge Fergie  music fan, in fact it’s more like I just like to explore any and all genres of music and whatever I find that I like, I like. But no matter, because Fergie’s toting one of my favorite bags, and i like it: the Cartier Marcello handbag. Cartier has always offered a small selection of evening bags but have announced plans for entry in to the luxury handbag market. The design team is lead by former Calvin Klein designer Marlin Yuson.The Marcello is available in multiple colors and three sizes, the largest of which rings up at about $1,800. If you so choose, Cartier will even custom make a Marcello to your specifications, starting at around $2,400. Call Cartier for details.
