Diane Von Furstenberg Hayworth hold

It’s rare that I see a black hold and think of summer, but for some reason that’s exactly what happened when I first set my eyes on the new Diane Von Furstenberg Hayworth Clutch. There’s just something about it that looks like warm weather, despite its dark color.

So what is it about the bag that’s doing it for me? The flowers, duh. You don’t see a whole lot of flowers during the winter, unless you’re checking out a Valentino bag.

Perhaps it’s the addition of gold hardware (I particularly like its inclusion at the center of the flowers) or the size of the blooms, but they look warm and inviting to me. finding a black hold to wear on a warm summer night without looking dour and out-of-season is difficult, but this bag manages the trick. scoop it up now and you’ll use it all the time, I promise. get through ShopBop for $425.

Coach’s charming spring 2015 Bags are now offered

I’ve been ecstatic for Coach’s spring 2015 purses to show up ever considering that I saw them at the brand’s runway show back in September; the collection felt contemporary as well as light-hearted, like it might bridge the space between the brand’s longtime fans as well as the fashion-forward audience that instructor really hopes to attract. The collection likewise includes the brand’s most current artist collaboration, instructor x Baseman.

The Baseman bags, which function charming bit monsters, are the fashion bait of the collection, indicated to charm to a consumer group that watches runway patterns as well as wishes to get things that are weird, unique as well as limited-edition. There has already been a significant action to these bags as well as the rest of the instructor x Baseman line, so it seems like adorable beasties are a bet that will pay off.

For a a lot more mainstream customer, the collection likewise debuts a new marquee bag style for the brand, the Swagger. It’s an East-West carry that currently is available in three sizes, as well as although it’s not innovating any type of new area or starting any type of new trends, the execution as well as choices are solid. In particular, the tiny metallics are a great deal of fun.

“Fun” is most likely the very best word to explain whatever that’s going on with this collection, actually. The colors are pastel without being as well sweet, as well as the details as well as embellishments raise the bags without making the styles seem self-serious. For Stuart Vevers’ second full collection with the brand, there’s been a great deal of growth.

Hilary Duff’s incredible bag collection just keeps coming, this time around with Yves Saint Laurent

There is SO a “Many Bags of Hilary Duff” publish coming down the pipeline. In the past few weeks alone, Hilary has been rolling out some fabulous bag options – very first the Givenchy Antigona, then a Goyard carry she was utilizing as a infant bag, as well as now, this remarkably elegant Yves Saint Laurent Cabas ChYc Tote. This YSL bag has ended up being a preferred among popular women who can bankroll a ridiculously incredible bag collection. You can snag one for yourself for $2450 by means of Net-A-Porter.

If you’re believing “Wow, Hilary Duff is looking remarkable these days!” It’s true, though in these pictures, she is leaving a hair beauty parlor in L.A. Which is type of cheating. however the Duffster is looking incredibly stylish as well as polished right here – not like the “ever-so-slightly frazzled mommy” or “celeb trying to inconspicuously leave a Pilates class” looks that we’ve featured from her in days past. In fact, I wouldn’t be shocked if this whole beauty parlor trip was just sheer paparazzo baiting. These pics are absolutely gonna be around the glossies next week.

Deal of the Day: the DeMellier tiny Oslo Bag

Last month we discussed a bag brand relatively new to PurseBlog, DeMellier, and while we love getting the conversation started when we discover a brand, nothing beats seeing it in person. We made a decision to get our hands on a bag from DeMellier, and today we’re not only giving you a better review of DeMellier, but we’re coming at you with a seriously terrific deal too. DeMellier’s bags are already exceptionally affordable, which is why we were ecstatic to cover them additionally in depth, but it just so happens that the bag we chose to get a good look at is currently on sale thanks to Shopbop’s big fall sale. That’s right, you can currently snag the DeMellier tiny Oslo Bag for just $276, and spoiler alert: you should.

At first glance this DeMellier bag is exceptionally well crafted for the price (the original retail is $395). It’s made of calfskin leather with a croc-embossed flap. It’s structured in shape and though the leather is soft to the touch, because of the structure it’s a bit stiff, which is one downside to this bag. There’s an adjustable strap, and the bag is finished with a magnetic snap closure. The overall craftsmanship of the bag, which is made in Spain, is excellent nonetheless, considering it’s priced well below $500.

True to its name, this bag is mini, and if you don’t usually carry a tiny bag this is the best opportunity to add one to your collection. If your day to day bag requires a lot of interior space you’re probably hesitant to get a tiny bag you’ll only use once in a while. This bag won’t break the bank, which makes it a terrific choice! The interior of this bag is lined and has one small zippered pocket. The overall dimensions are 5″ L x 7″ W x 2.25″ D, and after your smartphone, it can also hold a small wallet, a thin protein bar (I always have a snack!), a couple of lip tubes, a small mirror and sunglasses in a microfiber pouch.

Questions for Louis Vuitton CEO

Tomorrow Vlad and Shannon will be attending an intimate cocktail hour hosted by Daniel LaLonde of Louis Vuitton for online publishers. Louis Vuitton is slowly making its way into the online world of publishers and social media (last week Louis Vuitton announced that it is officially on Twitter). We are very honored to be invited to this event as we have been longtime followers and fans of Louis Vuitton.

Vlad was approved photography access as well, which indicates exclusive photos for all of you! While photos are an complex look into this gathering, questions directly asked to the CEO would share even a lot more information on the much-loved Louis Vuitton. We can make no promises, but what if we were able to ask the CEO of Louis Vuitton some questions? If we are lucky we may snag a few minutes of Daniel LaLonde’s time and if we like your questions, we may put them on our list!

If you could ask Daniel Lalonde, the CEO of Louis Vuitton North America, anything what would it be?

RHOBH: “Last time I shared a room was probably about 15 years ago. With my husband.”

we all know what happens when Housewives go out of town, and depending on your perspective, it’s either terrific or terrible. From a checking out standpoint, it’s terrific – moving the entire cast even a couple hours from home seems to throw everyone into emotional flux and somehow sever their ties with the tenuous maturity to which they cling back home, in a lot more familiar environs. Last night’s episode of real Housewives of Beverly Hills was a best example of the phenomena – things were perfectly civilized for a lot of of the episode until everyone sat down for dinner in Ojai.

As is customary when drama is cut off at the knees at the end of an episode, we started ideal back up at a claustrophobic little two-seater table with Adrienne and Lisa. They were both working up to an eventual apology by trying to accept the mutual delusion that the gigantic Trojan horse of flowers at the Sur party wasn’t actually intended to be a pleasantly fragrant middle finger, and mostly, it seemed like it worked. Adrienne apologized for being such a transparent, drama-stirring brat at last season’s reunion, and Lisa explained why she had been hurt and then accepted the apology without going on the offensive or raising her voice. Adrienne didn’t push for an apology from Lisa, even though she clearly feels like she’s owed one (Maloof Hoof and Crackpot and all that – very offensive). So, you know, credit scores to her for that.

Over at Yolanda’s house, she had an unlikely visitor – Kim. Bravo’s decision to sell Yolanda (a fantabulously affluent former model who has what seems to be a best life) as fast pals with Kim (an alcoholic with very tentative sobriety and a somewhat shaky financial situation) seems like an odd choice to me. Let’s see what they have in common: their hair matches and they’re both going on this upcoming trip to Ojai that Kim is apparently organizing. (“Organizing.”) and really, that was the whole upshot of the scene – they’re all going to Ojai sometime in the indeterminate future and Yolanda can operate an espresso machine.

We then checked in with Brandi, who was meeting with Michael Broussard (who you might recognize if you ever late-night shame-watch Chelsea Handler’s show) about a book she’s trying to get published. Brandi seemed a little awkward in the whole interaction (probably because she’s never had to do much beyond look pretty and be a wiseass for her work, which is a good gig if you can get it), but if any individual can sell her book, Broussard probably can. Whether or not Brandi can write is not in any way material to this discussion, of course. Also, in Michael’s exceedingly gay opinion, Brandi’s boobs are perfect. I’m guessing that a lot of straight opinions would agree with him.

Afterward, we followed Kyle and her daughter to the DMV, where her daughter had already failed the written portion of the driving test twice. I remember the driving test. I flipped through the booklet while I waited in line and I passed with flying colors. It’s common sense, and I will not hear any individual who tells me otherwise. But, of course, third time’s the charm – Kyle’s kid finally passed the test and Kyle let her drive the Maserati home, standing on the imaginary passenger-side brake the entire time. My mommy still stands on hers whenever I’m driving, and I’m nearly 27 years old and have a spotless driving record. Some things are universal.

Suddenly, everyone was readying themselves to go on the Ojai trip that we only just learned about earlier in the episode. Lisa invited Brandi and apparently Kim told her that was fine, so between that and the fact that she’s been assigned to “host” this trip (and that she actually showed up to do the honors), maybe Kim is making some progress. and if she is, good for her! She even made overtures to mending fences with Brandi, which is a lot a lot more than I can say for Taylor. When Kim is outshining you with her open-mindedness and emotional progress, it’s time to reevaluate some life decisions.

While Lisa and Brandi were wrapping up a photo shoot for a local magazine and going over thumb wrinkles (Brandi is decidedly not in favor of them), the rest of the Housewives (except Yolanda, who was flying in later) were coming to their mansion-for-the-weekend in Ojai. everyone was incredibly ecstatic about the house – the views, the grounds, the Mediterranean feel – until, that is, they realized that there were only five bedrooms for about a bajillion cast members, plus Camille, who’s now a demi-Housewife. None of them were with their husbands, so I don’t understand exactly what the big deal was about sharing rooms or sleeping in double or twin beds for a few nights – some of these people are actually pals with each other, right? enough to sleep in the same generalized space? Adrienne, for her part, was only concerned with ensuring that she had a better room than Lisa. The entire thing reminded me of enjoying a new real world cast fight over rooms, way back when that was a watchable show and I was 12 years old.

Lisa, Brandi and Yolanda all finally arrived and everyone had their awkward hellos, but on the whole, everything was fine. even when Lisa and Brandi were shown their tiny little room with their tiny little beds, they didn’t throw a fit. even if they weren’t delighted with it, which was what everyone else assumed, they acted like adults and didn’t sulk or protest. Housewives acting like adults in the face of non-perfect circumstances! What will happen next? Actually, Kim’s already hosting this whole trip and making sure people get places on time, so maybe hell has already frozen over.

Everything was going fine until Brandi and Kim ended up sitting across from each other at dinner. If two people don’t get along, you must never have them facing each other. even side by side is preferable! but if two people can’t stand each others’ silly faces, making them stare at each other for a full meal is not the greatest idea. I’m getting ahead of myself, though, because things went just fine at first. Kim said something charming to everyone, Brandi had some fun trashing her ex-husband, Leann Rhimes and their dumb tabloid photo ops. Brandi even went out of her way to compliment Kim on how smart and terrific her daughters are, which seemed absolutely genuine (or at least as genuine as anything can be on reality TV), and they talked at length about being in dark places and being divorced and Brandi apologized again for what she said to Kim last season.

Kim pointed out again how hurtful that had been and started to tear up, and then to my complete surprise (based on what we had seen in the previews, anyway), it was actually Adrienne who jumped in to start a fight. Brandi and Kim seemed to be making real progress toward not hating each other, and out of nowhere, Adrienne announced, “UH OH, SOMEONE’S CRYING,” which is objectively a jackass thing to do. Brandi told her to shut the f— up, which, in my mind, was a perfectly affordable action to such a rude, callous, drama-instigating move. It maybe wasn’t the best response, or the most diplomatic, but the action itself was so crass that I can’t think of I would have reacted differently, in a similar situation.

Because it was Brandi who dropped the f-bomb, though, the whole group piled on to her to register their disapproval. Naturally, we can’t enjoy a full fight, beginning to end, in a single episode, though, so we’ll have to wait until next week to see things really devolve, figure out whose side everyone takes and see if things devolve from bad to worse. (My bet? Yes.)

Lindsay Lohan’s big black Hermes Birkin looks a little bit beat up

‘Tis the season to be giving…so we won’t speculate as to why Lindsay Lohan looked considerably a lot more polished than her overworked, overstuffed black Hermes Birkin when she headed out to do an interview for “Good morning America” last week. Or why she was photographed God knows how lots of hours later looking like a drunken caricature of her mom. We’ll say something nice. Lindsay, I love your new old hair color. It reminds us of when you did the parent Trap move, or indicate Girls, and you were still an upbeat, fresh-faced youth, and not…you know. Also, I love those Giuseppe Zanotti ankle Boots. Where did you…acquire those from?

No, but seriously. Lindsay. You’re just a few months away from being on Dr. Phil. everything Amy Poehler said during that infamous opening sketch of SNL when you hosted in 2005 has become a self-fulfilling prophecy. You’ve already got one lifetime motion picture in the bag. I say this truly – please hand that Birkin over to someone who will love it and treat it with respect. someone who won’t load it up with what is clearly a manage full of vodka, and then abandon it at a club at 4 am. and please find some modicum of sobriety before it’s forced on you by hard jail time.
