Last week, your reviews of The Real Housewives of DC were decidedly mixed, but after last night’s episode I’m not afraid to admit that I love it. Yes, “love” is the appropriate word here. Something about the contrast of proximity to power and total idiocy is just delicious, particularly when compared to the eternal trainwreck [...]

No matter how many different fabrics, styles and colors of handbags there are out on the market, when you catch a glimpse of a classic design, you just have to stop and give it the respect that it is due. Such is the case with the Chyc Large Patent Flap Shoulder Bag by Yves Saint [...]

I’ve always been a fan of Valentino’s extra structured and braided Histoire Satchel, so when I heard the news that there’s a new Histoire in town, I definitely had to track it down. I can spot the resemblance from its older satchel sibling, but the end result is most definitely a very different product from [...]

It’s the new Coach Poppy Patent Leather Jazzy and though it’s only one of several little beauties soon to be gracing us with their presence, it’s probably my favorite among them. Pictured here in [...]

Purple patent leather is not for the wallflowers of this world. Louboutin’s Loubis Patent Calf-Leather Clutch is so fierce you may be required to register it as a weapon.

Coccinelle is a name that I have never heard of before. But while browsing around the Forzieri website, I stumbled upon some handbags from this designer and found myself rather intrigued. Of particular interest was this Pleated Patent Canvas Clutch, from Coccinelle’s Goodie Bag collection. But wait… patent canvas? Yes, I read the name correctly. [...]

We’ve been enjoying an unusually warm weather here in DC this week, and knowing this is something that will quickly fade away into memory (snow predicted by…Saturday), I’ve been trying to take advantage of it as much as I can. I definitely made myself take a walk during lunch break, though what I really wanted [...]

I know, I know…where in the world have I been??! I’ve been here all along, just lazy. I really have no good excuse. Just because I haven’t written about bags in a while, however, does not mean that my obsession with handbags ceased. Believe me, I’ve been doing plenty of window shopping (a.k.a. research trips) [...]
