'Marie Antionette' wins Oscar for Costume Design!

2007-03-29T06:47:00.000-07:00

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!

2007-03-29T06:30:00.000-07:00

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

2007-03-28T19:17:00.000-07:00

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

2007-03-27T02:40:00.000-07:00

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.

Just Cavalli 'Bags Gone Wild'!

2007-03-21T12:01:00.000-07:00

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

2007-03-16T07:56:00.000-07:00

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!!

Thanks,

Fergie + Balenciaga = Bagalicious!

2007-03-16T07:06:00.000-07:00

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!

2007-03-15T07:20:00.000-07:00

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.

I for one have no idea why I like this tote, I just do. I look at it and it makes me giggle. The chihuahua pictured on the tote wearing goggles is hilarious. I like quirky bags. I give this bag a 10 in the quirk-o-meter.

This fabulous tote measures 14"H x13"L x 4"W has double top handles, front zipper pocket and canvas lining.

If you want to walk around town with this Anya Hindmarch tote you can find her on pre-order via saks for $395.

'Marc Jacobs Quilted Zip Clutch' not your ordinary wallet!

2007-03-12T08:07:00.000-07:00

Let me start off this review stating that I have this wallet in red patent leather. I bought it last year and I love it. It fits more then anyone realizes. I am able to fit comfortably my Razor cellphone, lipgloss, cash and credit cards. It measures 7.75" x 4" x 1 with a divided center pocket, two side pockets and six card slots. The Marc Jacobs Collection Quilted Zip Clutch is grained, quilted leather and polished golden hardware. The signature push-lock closures give the clutch a cool vintage look. If you want a stylish wallet that you can use as a clutch check out this fabulous Marc Jacobs creation at eluxury $450

Only 'Versace' Can make a Bucket Bag look this Good!

2007-03-12T07:36:00.000-07:00

My purse style is fluid. I like all kinds of bags in different shapes and sizes. I have never been particularly interested in bucket bags until the the Versace Monogram Bucket Bag.

If you want a bag that you can rock day or night this bag is perfect. The combination of logo jacquard with pebble-grained metallic leather trim polished gold metal hardware make this an absolute stunner. If you want to rock out like a Rockstar you can find her via eluxury $1900 and definitely worth it.

Sorry "Jeanne" but, you ain't worth $2400!

2007-03-11T09:52:00.000-07:00

Let me just state for the record that I am a HUGE Dior fan. I have a few Dior's dating from 2000 to now. The Dior Jeanne Aged Goatskin Medium Bag is one Dior I will not be adding to my collection. The bag is just plain boring to me. This bag also has sort of a reptilian look to it. I do love exotics but, not this look or feel. The leather is aged goatskin but, it looks like cheap wallpaper. The Dior Jeanne also comes with the hefty price tag of $2,400.00.

Fashionable Laptop cases!

2007-03-08T13:13:00.000-08:00

I recently purchased a 13' Mac Notebook. I've been using PC's all my life so, this switch is a huge deal for me. Since purchasing my new Mac I have been on a mission to find a cool laptop bag. Luckily, I found TwelveNYC.com . The laptop bags are made of heavy weight canvas.

These great customizable laptop bags retail for a mere $70.

Louis Vuitton 'Noumea' the sneaker for the Fashionista!

2007-03-08T08:15:00.000-08:00

The Louis Vuitton 'Noumea' Sneaker is everything a sneaker for a fashionista should be. The side logo, style, color selection are all perfect. I can't decide which one I want more the white/gold or black/silver but, I really like the white/pink! Decisions, Decisions! I haven't been this excited over a pair of kicks since the sixth grade.

2007-03-07T06:36:00.000-08:00

Runway Model Jessica Stam from IMG modeling is one of head designer Marc Jacobs favorite models. It's safe to say this since the famous Marc Jacobs Collection handbag 'The Stam' is named after her.
Miss Stam strutted down the catwalk a the Louis Vuitton 2007 Fall Fashion show wearing fabulously thick black eyeliner and a huge grey beret. What a great look!

Collete Dinnigan returns to fashion with cheap looking designs!

2007-03-06T09:12:00.000-08:00

Australian designer, Collete Dinnigan famous among Hollywood celebrities for her lingerie wear. Took a few years off the fashion scene to raise a family. The Fall 2007 collection was her reintroduction to the fashion world.
The entire collection was a complete disappointment. The collection was filled with drab colors and designs that lacked objective.
After reviewing the collection I have to say 'High End' fashion is not what came to mind. This collection was more like American Apparel.

For more of the 2007 Fall Collete Dinnigan collection check out Style.com and let me know what you think.

Lanvin 2007 'Designs that speak to women'

2007-03-05T08:49:00.000-08:00

The Lanvin 2007 collection was inspired by thirties wide shouldered gowns with a fresh new richness and splendor. Long sleeve as well as sleeveless dresses were accentuated with beautiful jewels. The luxurious dresses were paired off with techno inspired bold patent leather platform shoes and handbags.

Designer 'Alber Elbaz' seems to understand 'what women want' with these comfortable, wearable and rich designs for fall 2007. A few items caught my fancy, one in particular is the jeweled cuff (bottom image).

MIU MIU 2007 Collection 'Lacks in Sex Appeal'

2007-03-05T07:18:00.000-08:00

The MIU MIU collection of 2007 did not fall into the category 'Rockstar' it was more like items out of my grandma's closet that should be smelling like mothballs. The accessories went from knee-hi socks and spectator pumps to somewhat old-ladyish looking handbags.

After the show Miuccia Prada was quoted "It's a vision of what's happening in the world right now with women," "On videos and TV all of the women look fake. I wanted to show this plasticized vision, but filtered through classic pieces and sticking to tradition."

Muiccia did not filter out her plasticized vision through classic pieces. The collection looked cheap to me and not well thought out. I think it's great when a designer decides to create a collection with a vision of society in mind. It should not have looked like pieces taken from a cheap vintage store and just relabeled. I have high expectations for MIU MIU and this collection did not fill the bill. I know that everyone has different opinions and this collection could be considered art by someone else.

Marc Jacobs matching patent bowler bag and shoes!

2007-03-03T08:13:00.000-08:00

Marc by Marc Jacobs King Pin Strike Bag $368.00

Marc by Marc Jacobs Patent Pump $425.00

Some of my friends think that matching your bag with your shoes is a fashion don't. What do they know!? They don't write about purses like I do. HA!

I wholeheartedly disagree.

I consider it one of my personal goals to go against the fashion rules.

I love to match and my 'South Beach' lifestyle permits breaking the rules.

The Marc Jacobs King Pin Strike Bag and Marc Jacobs Patent Pump are a perfect set. Not to be separated. I like the playfulness of cream patent combined with burgundy canvas.

I can just see it now. White tank, tight jeans, D& G shades, and my new MJ bag and shoes!

Those of you not opposed to matching accessories can find this fabulous MJ bag and shoes on eluxury under Marc Jacobs.

'Clear' accessories are in abundance!

2007-03-02T06:56:00.000-08:00

PVC bag, $ 95 Betsey Johnson

NineWest patent leather and lucite shoes $89 via NineWest

Large Lucite bangle, Isaac Manevitz for Ben-Amun, $110 Ben-amun.com

Some the seasons hot accessories are Clear and some made with PVC. They include handbags, sunglasses, jewelry and shoes. I am not a fan of a clear handbag. I don't want everyone looking at the stuff I carry around inside my bag. I would probably use a bag made out of PVC to carry to the pool or beach, although, I am not likely to spend $95 dollars on a beach bag. I like the use of Lucite in alot of the accessories. Lucite heels on a simple pair of shoes give them a cool retro space age look. Lucite jewelry is probably my favorite clear accessory. Add a bit of clarity to your wardrobe and get yourself a few clear pieces!

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

2007-02-28T07:23:00.000-08:00

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!

2007-02-27T08:45:00.000-08:00

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

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!

2007-02-26T07:57:00.000-08:00

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.

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.

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!

2007-02-24T06:48:00.000-08:00

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!

2007-02-24T06:42:00.000-08:00

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!

2007-02-20T17:27:00.000-08:00

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.

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

2007-02-19T08:07:00.000-08:00

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!

A Funky little laptop case

2007-02-16T12:20:00.000-08:00

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?

2007-02-16T11:14:00.000-08:00

***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

2007-02-16T11:02:00.000-08:00

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!

For those of you that didn't know that Betsey Johnson has a desinger bag collection this post is for you. This leather buckle frame bag is a perfect combination of style and function.
