I spend most of my time consuming an unhealthy amount of fashion information both online and in print, so I try to break things up a bit by keeping up to date on techy stuff too. While doing my blog rounds on Friday, both worlds collided when I saw this keyboard shopping bag. My first thought was, “interesting”…second thought, “would I actually...

There is a lot to be said for shopping online; it is quick, convenient, you can indulge in retail therapy at 3am when you can’t sleep, and there is the added gratification of knowing that a nice present is on its way to you in the mail. That said, there is only so much you can know about a dress, a pair of shoes or even a bag just by looking at it.

Economic crisis: it’s been everywhere lately, affecting prices at petrol stations and at grocery stores. All of this means that we have to take money from our rainy-day funds and put them towards the things we need to actually survive (like dinner). And I hate to sound completely materialistic, but sometimes a girl just wants something pretty but it’s not...

You probably haven’t heard of

The name Coach may not fly off everyone’s tongue as pre-eminent handbag designers, but I’m a big fan of their merchandise (especially their planners and sunglasses).

Who was it that said “less is more,” or to rephrase, that “more is just more?” Whomever it was, word does not seem to have reached the bag design team at Marc Jacobs and now Chloe. While Chloe just tossed a lot of flap/buckle clasps onto this clutch.

I woke up one dark winter morning earlier this year and decided then and there that I had to become the owner of a soft, leather designer bag. No longer would my black £35 patent M&S holdall suffice in my new job (it’s fashion daaaahhling). Now, this could have something to do with the fact that I had only recently overheard a conversation about handbags in...

I think the unwritten rule is that if you see more than three hot Tinseltown “it girls” photographed carrying the same purse, it automatically becomes the next “it bag.” So when the likes of Kate Bosworth, Lindsay Lohan, Kate Moss and Sienna Miller were all seen out and about toting a version of the Mulberry’s Mabel satchel since it was debuted last year,...
