That's A Fabulous Handbag

Regular readers of this blog know I LOVE the Fendi Peek a Boo bag, and I especially love it in seasonal versions like this velvet one above. A black or tan peek a boo is practical for year round, everyday use, but seasonal velvet would be a great bag to pull out in the cold weather months for people that use several different bags throughout the year. The Peek a boo is a classic design and will be around for years, like the always stylish Boston bag.

This Fendi handbag is brown velvet with black leather trim. It has double top gold toned turn lock closures, a single top handle and detachable shoulder strap. There is gold toned stud detailing with small signature logo on the sides and contrasting light and dark brown signature Zucca logo lining with two compartments with one zippered pocket. It has gold toned protective feet on the black leather bottom. $1,681 Available here.

With Valentine's day around the corner, let your honey know in advance you would much rather have a fabulous handbag like this Valentino Nuage, rather than flowers or candy. The pretty red can represent love and you will love it, I'm sure. It's a roomy tote that can hold all of your essentials while looking fabulous. It has a pretty, signature bow detail and logo plaque. $995 at NORDSTROM.

I'm a big fan of Gwen Stefani's L.A.M.B handbags. They are affordable and super stylish. Her bags are recognizable with their funky, urban-chic appeal. The above Ultraviolet Briolette bag is a fairly simple shoulder bag, but the green stripe and zipper detail give it the "cool" factor associated with Gwen's line. This bag is logo embossed leather with a front metal nameplate and a single shoulder strap. $199 at zappos.com.

I'm usually not a big fan of overly fringed bags, but I really like this Jimmy Choo version. The fringe adds a bit of movement to the bag and with the fringes restricted to the bottom of the bag alone it's not overwhelming. Apart from the fringe, the bag itself is beautiful with woven pattern and embossed patches. It has gold tone hardware and chain straps, as well as a logo plate on front. It's part leather and part suede, $2,858 at LUISAVIAROMA.COM.

Sorry about the extended break, I was on vacation, but am so so so happy to be home and blogging about my favorite accessory again. Upon my return I bring you a fabulous and very unique handbag. Usually I don't like a rustic looking bag, too hippie/ American Indian for me, but I'm digging this M-ojo Risin bag. The name goes perfectly don't you think? It features adjustable multi-use shoulder straps with antiqued snap hook fastening that can be detached. The wide stitch detail on the sides and vegetable tanned leather that accentuate the textured lines gives the bag an even more rustic look. This is a unisex bag, a perfectly acceptable bag for a stylish man, but also great for a fashionista like myself, paired with skinny jeans, a simple top and open-toe, ankle boots. $1,428 at LUISAVIAROMA.COM, under the 'mens handbags' section.
