A Little Bamboo on this clutch would have gone a long way!

When I think of bamboo I think of the islands. I think of margarita's with little umbrellas and mellow Caribbean music. The Vivre clutch made of bamboo is not what comes to mind. I wish this clutch were flat and wider then I could right a review on its many uses. For instance, it could be used as a kitschy place mat or something pretty to put under plants. If you can't live without a bamboo clutch The Vivre Bamboo Clutch can be found at shop.com for $225.

Hail to Madonna in Dolce & Gabbana!

Madonna looked FANTABULOUS at the Oscars in this body hugging black Dolce & Gabbanna gown. I particularly liked the slit that accentuated her well toned legs. Madonna has an amazing body and I have yet to see her look 'bad' in anything. This particular dress has a self confidence all its own. Although, I am not feeling her hair-do. I think she would have looked better with blown out straight hair. For more pictures of celebrities at the Oscars check out Instyle

Giuseppe Zanotti 'Flat Out' Hot Ballerina shoes!

Luckily, I don't have to be a ballerina to completely begin a collection of ballerina flats. These ballerina flats are cute bordering on sexy. I have written about the great metallic bags of this season. Now, I will focus on the shoes. I start my quest with these deliciously comfortable Giuseppe Zanotti Ballerina flats. I must confess I have recently become a ballerina flat wearing south beach babe. They are a great alternative to high heels or flip-flops. If you want to switch it up a bit and add these sparklers to your feet check them out via eluxury for $595.

'Empire dresses Strike Back' at the Oscars with these HORRIBLE DRESSES!

I never got the memo that 'Empire Waist' dresses were HOT! The stylists for Jennifer Lopez and Naomi Watts need to be slapped. Empire waist dresses only really work on pregnant women. The huge rhinestones on Jennifers dress are an atrocity to all things bejeweled. The only other comment I would make about Naomis dress is that if it had to be an empire dress because she is pregnant. Why did they have to pick the color lemon sherbert?

I'm sad to say that I didn't have a favorite dress this year.

'Oscar' After Party outfit South Beach Style!

In my imaginary world, with my limitless bank account, I have created an outfit that I would wear to a 'South Beach' Oscar after party. The dress of my choice would be this sexy little racy and hot Versace Long-Sleeve Jersey Dress via eluxury for $1,725.00. I would make sure to put a sufficient amount of body glitter on my cleavage, so as not to let the deep V neck go to waste. The Dior Chain Mail and Suede Evening Clutch is the perfect size for my cell phone and lipgloss. She can be found via eluxury for $1,430.00. To finish off my utterly expensive and drop-dead gorgeous Sobe outfit, these sexy T-strap Giuseppe Zanotti Mules with over sized tiger's eye stones are perfect. Shoes via eluxury $595.00. The dress, bag, and shoes would total the amount of about $3750 but, you can't put a price on looking like a Rockstar. Right?!

Pianegonda Trait D'Union Heart and Chain Earrings not your typical studs!

This blog is called "Pursejunkies" but the truth is I am a all around accessory junkie. Scarves, shoes, belts, watches, sunnies, buttons, and jewelry to name a few :). When i saw these earrings I could not resist writing about them. I love long, big, sexy rockstar type earrings. These Pianegonda Trait D'Union Heart and Chain Earrings are to die for. The narrow shaped heart gives them that cool punky look and the chains in varying dimensions hanging from the hearts are completely edgy. If you want to break away from the traditional studs or the "play it" safe large hoops you can find these sexy earrings at eluxury for $252.

Juicy Couture Bowler Bag in Palm Beach White!

When I think of Palm Beach i think of bleached blonde hair, frosty pink lipstick and a fake tan. This also holds true for my thoughts on Fort Lauderdale, Boca and Tampa. This Juicy Couture Bowler bag comes in several colors. The color that I think really makes this bag sparkle is "Palm Beach White" which is the most perfect shade of off white I have seen on a bag in a while. The bag in the Palm Beach White color does not conjur up images of tackiness, but of fun, class and ease. I don't have to think about where to put my PDA or lipgloss as the bag has exterior side utility pockets that are perfect for easy access. The elegant aged metal hardware against the supple grained leather gives the bag a somewhat relaxed look. I like it when designers think about us and give us fashion and function. This comfy bag can be found via eluxury for $325.

Francesco Biasia "Sweet Pea" is truly Sweet!

I have had the pleasure of looking at this gorgeous little number in person. I assure you the stock photos do not do the bag justice. The Francesco Biasia "Sweet Pea" Crinkle Patent Leather Small Hobo is simply adorable and appropriately named. The crinkly black patent leather is soft and supple and the shiny silver hardware is sleek. At 7" H x 14" W x 6-1/2" D this sweet bag is great for casual wear and work. If you just can't resist this sweety she can be found at macys for $295.

Liquid Silver! Dive in!

Two of my all time favorite fashion houses "The House of Fendi" and "The House of Versace" have each come out with stunning silver bags. But, these are not just your average 'run of the mill' silver handbags, these bad boys are what I call "Liquid Silver." I just want to dive right into them.

The Fendi Crossword Grande Mirrored Bag $2,230.00 is as decadent as any bag can possibly be and at the price tag of $2,230.00 you will be diving right into your retirement fund. But, i assure you its worth it ;)

The Versace Snap Out of It Bag Large Metallic Bag is an exquisitely designed bag that displays the most intimate coupling of polished hardware and pebbled leather.

Mary Frances Grasshopper Handbag

In in effort to bring you all types of bags for all types of tastes I stumbled across this horror of a handbag. It is probably the ugliest bag I have ever seen. I think the desinger of this bag is laughing at the entire handbag industry. It is the Mary Frances Grasshoper handbag. This bag is an offense to grasshopper's! It looks more like grasshopper barf. This offensive bag retails at a hefty price tag of $250. This mess can be purchased at www.shopnbc.com Last time I checked there were only 23 left of these things!

Marc Jacobs 'Miss Marc' tote

I like this bag! It's a simple knock em' around canvas tote with a whimsical twist. There is just something so darling about the 'Miss Marc' image on the front of the bag with the zippered mouth that serves as a coin purse in a fun bright red. 'Miss Marc' reminds me of a friend I had in elementary school that talked too much in class. You know the one that always had to stay afterschool and clean the chalkboards for getting caught gabbing. This sweet bag is large enough at 14"W x 15"H x 5"D to store alot of stuff and sturdy enough to carry around a laptop. If you can't resist adding this sweet tote to your collection she can be found for $268 at www.eluxury.com Charge!

If you think you may want to give this arm candy a shot you can find it on www.eluxury.com for $1475. Go get em'!!!

A Funky little laptop case

In my hunt for all that is cool and funky I came across this cute laptop case at the Aldo store. I am also in need of a laptop case with 'umph'. The design of this laptop case are pink skulls surrounded by flowers. Some would say the idea of making skulls fashionable is gross. I kinda like the whole skull and crossbones fashion statement. I must admit I am surprised that the trend out lasted 'Hello Kitty'. There has been a significant decline in the number of girls and soccer moms I have seen out and about rocking the little 'putty cat'. Come to think of it the last sighting was a girl at the market wearing a cameo 'Hello Kitty' hair pin with a poor little kitty wearing a bright pink bow and crossbones. I guess the folks over at 'Hello Kitty' figured if you can't beat them join them! HA!

If this laptop case is up your alley it can be scored at www.aldoshoes.com and if you are a thinking that you may want to give Hello Kitty another shot at superstardom you can find her at www.sanrio.com. RIP and look fab all at once!

Was Foxy Brown rocking a Fendi during her South Florida Smackdown?

**

***Is it too much to ask for a little peace and quiet while putting on hair glue in a beauty supply store bathroom? And, why can't a beauty supply store extend their hours so that a girl can do so? Apparently, the store owner of a beauty supply store didn't think that was reasonable. So, he banged on the bathroom door for Miss Foxy to get out. After expressing her displeasure with the store owner Miss Brown was apprehended in the parking lot by Miami's finest. For those of you interested in all the gory details you can read the article. We would love to know what handbag The Fox is wearing?

It looks like a Fendi Spy bag but we are not entirely sure. If anyone out there has any clue please fill us in.

Thanking you in advance!

Amanda Bynes and her Gucci Hobo

Amanda Bynes rocks! Love all her movies. Here she is sporting a Gucci 'Grace' large shoulder bag. I must admit I wasn't a fan of the nautical look but I like the way Amanda rocked this bag out with a cool pair of jeans and her rocker aviator shades. I'm not really diggin the burberry scarf, though. The Gucci bag and Burberry scarf together look too busy for my taste. Sorry, Mandy! I wonder who she was talking to on her cellphone. It could be one of so many fabulous people. I'm thinking maybe she is on the phone with her agent or more importantly her wax lady. Ladies and some Gents, if you absolutely must have this bag she can be found on www.gucci.com. Happy Sailing!
