'Samsonite Verana' Canvas Laptop tote Fashion and Function!


I like to write up about fashionable laptop bags. I have strong feelings about protecting my new investment and I want my laptop bag to look as good as my laptop. I like the Samsonite Verana Canvas Laptop Tote and think it's a good looking laptop tote. I love that it comes in fire engine red. This laptop bag is constructed of soft and resilient canvas. I also like that it is made by Samsonite. I feel safe buying a laptop bag made by a company that specializes in luggage. This laptop tote accommodate most laptops up to 15” in size. It also has various pockets to put the rest of your stuff in or if your into organization you can use the extra pockets for pens, post-its, notes to yourself about how wonderful you are. You get it ; )

'Marie Antionette' wins Oscar for Costume Design!




Last month on Oscar Night I got all dressed up 'South Beach Style' and went to my friend Gene's Oscar party. Gene has fabulous parties but his Oscar parties are my favorite you can enjoy good food and great conversation. He adds a touch of competition when he hands you your Oscar ballot and you have to get down to business selecting who you think is going to win an Oscar. On my ballot I had a few misses and a few hits no real upsets I am happy to say. One of my hits was Marie Antionette for costume design. I truly enjoyed this movie. I visited Versailles a few years ago so it was a exciting for me to so see it all over again in the movie. Aside from the costumes in Marie Antoinette I LOVED the soundtrack. I was given the soundtrack as a gift and thought it would be fun to share one of my favorite songs 'Hong Kong Garden' by Siouxsie & The Banshees.

Happy Listening!
I'm outta here is gorgeous outside!

'Fendi' taking a Hit and Working it! Love the Spy!


If you are a purse aficionado then you have spoken or thought about the Fendi Spy Bag at least 100 times. Personally, I can't get enough of these bags and I think Fendi knows it. I have seen the spy in every color and I must say the bag still takes my breath away. Everything about the Spy is delightful to me. The butter-soft lambskin, hidden coin purse, the reptilian like double woven leather top handles, and my personal favorite the zucca interior lining. Just thinking about this bag instantly puts me in a great mood.
If you ever want to buy a bag that is a classic, great to carry, and Rockstar all in one you cannot go wrong with anything FENDI especially if it's the Spy.
You can find this luxury via Saks $2080

Francesco Biasia 'Gypsy Rain' Hobo Bag


I have seen this bag live and in color! The Francesco Biasia 'Gypsy Rain' is a chic leather hobo that is completely gorgeous. The color is a rich shade of burnt red-orange. If you are familiar with Balenciaga handbags the color 'Rouille' is what immediately came to mind when I saw this beauty. The leather on this hobo is soft and creamy. My second favorite feature on the 'Gypsy Rain' hobo is the polished silvertone hardware. If you happen to forget your compact mirror you can use the hardware on this bag to touch up your lipgloss. It's that polished!
This is a generous sized hobo at 10" H x 14" W x 6" D.
Great leather, Fantastic color, Gorgeous polished hardware. Check, Check, Check! This hobo has it all.
Check out 'Gypsy Rain' by Franceso Biasia via Macys for $375.

Rafael Cennamo Haute Couture Fall 2007 Funkshion






The Fall 07'Funkshion Shows were fabulous. One of the main featured designers at Funkshion 2007 is Rafael Cennamo(chen-na-mo). Cennamo's 'Haute Couture' Fall/2007 collection is inspired by 50's Glam. Cennamo is known for his special occasion gowns. The gowns are made by him and the embellishments on the gowns are made by hand. The fabrics and colors Cennamo uses in his collections have heavy European influences. These influences are evident in his divine Haute Couture Fall 07' collection.
I enjoyed this collection. The colors used in the suits were chocolates and other soft dark earth tones. The dresses were divine they ranged from a gorgeous deep burgundy (my favorite) to golds. Wrist and elbow length black leather gloves were also part of the dress collections giving a sort of vixen edge to dresses and gowns that I have never seen before.

The designs of the dresses covered what I think every woman should have in her closet, soft and feminine to meet the parents to hardcore black with leather to meet the friends.

Cennamo designs for today's woman, sexy and sophisticated with edge and style.

Happy Tuesday!

Just Cavalli 'Bags Gone Wild'!


Just Cavalli Lace Giraffe Shoulder Bag $605


Just Cavalli Lace Giraffe Print Hobo $430

I am a huge Just Cavalli fan. The tops are fantastic and the jeans are cool and edgy. However, I am deeply disappointed on the 'Just Cavalli' take on the current animal print on bags trend. I find both the Lace Giraffe print shoulder bag and hobo bag in this collection to be hideous. Thankfully, no giraffes were harmed in making these debacles as they are printed on canvas with grained leather trim. I must say, it seems like alot of thought went into designing these bags with features such as aged brass hardware, leather-trimmed Cavalli logo plate, contoured runching and buckled details on the sides. Even with the awesome design details on these bags, they still can't pass as beach bags. They are just way too scary.
I like the idea of giraffe print on an accessory. I believe that a little animal accent can add just the right touch to an ensemble. In the case of these two bags I am going to have to vote them off the island. Well, at least my island!
Have a FABULOUS DAY!

Wig Suggestions for Britney Spears!










I am happy to see that Britney is out of rehab and sporting a new look. Her wig reminds me of the wigs used in the 'Atrevate' video by Calle 13. I love that video! I love Calle 13!
I also dicovered an entire 'Wig' world in cyberspace. I am sure we will be seeing Britney rockin' all kinds of wigs in the months to come.

The clutch also has an 18' removable polished metal chain strap allowing the clutch to be carried on your shoulder or across your body like a messenger bag.

Gift ideas for my Brothers Birthday on Sunday 3/18!

Louis Vuitton Black Initials Belt with Gold Buckle $375


Louis Vuitton Billfold with Nine Credit Card Slots $335



Louis Vuitton Monogram Flower Cufflinks $420




Louis Vuitton Damier 16 Cufflinks $335






Louis Vuitton Monogram Canvas Messenger PM Bosphore $705.00



My brother will be celebrating his birthday on Sunday March 18th. I usually take him out to dinner or whatever he wants. This year I think I will send him an e-gift. He is very fashionable so I know he will appreciate any gift that he can use and will look fabulous at the same time. He uses a laptop bag and a wallet so I figured I would start with men's accessories. On my search for the 'perfect' gift I found so many cool accessories for men by Louis Vuitton on eluxury ties, wallets, and even fabulous cuff links. I'm going to have trouble deciding which accessory to get him.
Happy St. Patty's Day!

Luck of the Irish 'SOUTH BEACH' Style ROCKER Outfit!















Miami does not have a 'St. Patricks Day' parade, probably because there isn't a large enough Irish population in South Florida. Luckily, there are plenty of good Irish pubs one Irish pub in particular is located right on Ocean Drive in the heart of America's party town South Beach! The spring breakers have been tearing it up on Sobe for the past week from Ocean Drive to Lincoln Road. I plan on checking out the Sobe scene tonight and just to be festive I will wear something green.

I have picked out my imaginary 'unlimited funds' cyber outfit as I do with all special events.
Give me my 'Kiss me I'm Irish' button, a Nice Cold Green Beer and I'm good to go!
Happy Friday!

$45,000 Louis Vuitton Tribute Patchwork 'Ugliest and Most Expensive LV bag Ever' Completely Sold Out!


This 'Louis Vuitton Tribute Patchwork' bag worth $45,000 G's appeared on the runway last fall. The bag is designed by Marc Jacobs and made up of pieces of 15 Vuitton bags. It was reffered to by the British press, as "Frankenstein's monster." As Louis Vuitton releases its latest collection of denim patchwork bags, priced at $3,000-$5,000, talk about this monstrosity is resurfacing. I suspect Marc Jacobs made this mess to give purse bloggers like myself something to talk about while he waited to release a less offensive and more affordable version of this bag. Its all about marketing and keeping us talking about the 'House of Louis Vuitton'. Guess what!? It worked. The picture above is from the front cover of USA today and it has us all talking about it. Even me!!

Lindsay Lohan Grey hobo Bag with Tassle. Can anyone name Lilo's bag?


I wrote about the bag Lindsay Lohan wore yesterday in NYC. I thought it might be a Zac Posen. If any of you out there in the cyber purse world know the designer of this bag I would really appreciate if you could leave the name of the designer in the comments area.
Thanks,

Fergie + Balenciaga = Bagalicious!


A few of the things I enjoy most in this world are Ale House Hot Wings, a pedicure and Balenciaga handbags. Balenciagas have the most yummylicious, superlicious , and delicious leather of any bag I have ever felt. I own one Bbag and I simply adore her. Fergie must feel the same way, as she is pictured here in London yesterday rocking a Balenciaga Work with Gold Hardware. Oh, Fergielicious you look gorgeous from head to toe. I Love everything about this outfit. If you haven't felt a Balenciaga or are curious about Balenciaga's they can be located and purchased from Balenciaga NYC (212) 206-0872 or if your lucky your local Saks or Neiman Marcus may carry them.
I must warn you Balenciaga's are highly addictive. I have a few friends that own at least 10 or more. With that said, every Purse Junkie should have at least one BBAG ; )

Jessica Simpson wearing my Fendi Baby Spy!


Jessica Simpson and John Mayer 'who'd a thunk it'! I think they make a HOT couple. Personally, I am far more interested in Jessica's arm candy in this picture. It's the Fendi Baby Spy. I can't believe I let my friend talk me out of buying the last one at Fendi. She said "Don't get the baby, get the regular spy."
Truth is I didn't want the regular sized spy. I liked the baby spy! It was so bubbly and adorable. I can't help but wonder if Jessica snatched up the one I was supposed to buy. Not realistic since she's out in LA and I am on South Beach. It makes me feel better to imagine that Jessica Simpson is wearing my Fendi baby spy bag.
