If you've been thinking out this bag, go for it. It's so divine. Mama bagtrends (ie my mom ;) ) has been drooling over it so I had to order a special one for her. I may not be able to get more so like I said, if you've been thinking about go for it.

Oh and we're running a special 20% OFF on ALL BAGS now through November 2, 2007. Use promo code Fall07.

Ted Rossi Boutique to Open at Henri Bendel: BAGTRENDS

Dear Bagistas,

I'm so excited to share that Ted Rossi will now have a boutique at New York’s famed Henri Bendel, and just in time for the holiday season. Can you imagine a chicer stocking stuffer or Chanukah gelt than a Ted Rossi bangle? Well, maybe a Ted Rossi bag. (FYI Ted told me new bags are in the works for the spring season.)

The Ted Rossi boutique will be opening in mid-November inside of Henri Bendel. The 75 sq ft. shop will be located at one of the storefront 5th Avenue windows and will feature the full range of Ted Rossi products, including jewelry, handbags, and hair accessories.

I'm so excited for Ted and his whole team! When I first launched BagTrends nearly three years ago, Ted Rossi was one of the first brands I featured in that memorable April 2005 Top 3 Trends. It was also the first brand to do a giveaway with us that one you lucky bagistas got to enjoy. It's been a great three years for Ted Rossi and BagTrends - we've both come a long way! Rock on TR!!

Have a bag-a-licous day!

Bag and Borrow Hermes Handags: BAGTRENDS

Dear Bagistas,

If you're a fan of luxury handbags, but your wallet hasn't caught up to your taste you'll love the new "Vintage Collection" at Bag Borrow or Steal.

The "Vintage Collection" is a compilation of the most coveted designer handbags in the world from iconic designers, including Chanel, Gucci, and Hérmes. The collection is the first of its kind available for borrowing and includes some of the most sought-after handbags in the world, such as the Hérmes Birkin and Kelly. Each piece is individually priced with a monthly rental range from $100 - $4,800. Weekly rental are available, starting for as low as $40!

I love that Bag Borrow or Steal has teamed up with Clair Watson, couture consultant for Doyle New York auction house. Watson is BBorS new vintage curator responsible for assembling the collection.

"As a result of the rising popularity of vintage accessories, their price tags are soaring, nearly doubling what they were 10 years ago," said Watson. "Vintage fashion makes a distinctive style statement in a fashion landscape where it is increasingly difficult to stand out. The designer handbags in the Vintage Collection give women the means to enhance their personal style and express their individuality."

What do you think about borrowing bags? Ya or nah? Let me know.

Have a bag-a-licious day!

Rebecca Minkoff in Andy Warhol's eyes: BAGTRENDS

Dear "Alpha Kitty" Bagistas,

I was inspired by the Warhol-esque videos produced by Alpha Kitty so I decided to do my own artist work. What do you think?

Below are four fabulous versions of the Rebecca Minkoff Morning after Mini.


To purchase the bag visit SHOPBagTrends.com (If you want the grey color, we are running low!! Get it fast. I'm not sure we'll be getting another shipment.)

Have a bag-a-licious day!

Atoosa Rubenstein's Alpha Kitty Project: BAGTRENDS

Dear Bagistas,

I have to share a fabulous new project with you called Alpha Kitty - a combination of girl power and Oprah Winfrey meets the digital video revolution. Alpha Kitties are brave, intuitive, fierce, and passionate. The brainchild behind this movement is former Seventeen editor-in-chief and founder of CosmoGirl! Atoosa Rubenstein. (FYI I heart Atoosa so much. She's one of my media role models and I love her positive message for young women).

But back to Alpha Kitties, which first scratched the couches of YouTubers, with videos of young phenomena like 18-year old Esmee Denters the first artist signed to Justin Timberlake's record label; fashion writer and my good friend Zandile Blay; and designer/drag queen Phillipe Blond.

Now Atoosa's teamed up with Andy Warhol :) or at least his book and once again aims to uplift, inspire and empower young girls to believe in themselves; to stop looking up to the Lindsays and Paris' of the world; to go out and make their dreams come true!! Watch the video's they are great.

Brighton Accessories, Peace Bracelet: BAGTRENDS

Dear Bagistas,

When a brand goes out of it's way to give back I think it's worth a mention.

Brighton, an LA- based accessory company, designed a bracelet and raised $250,000 for four non-profit organizations working towards peace - something we're all praying for, I know!

Jerry Kohl, president of Brighton said, “In working on this I learned that Peace means different things to many different people. For some it is getting their loved ones home from Iraq, for others it’s to protect their children on the way to school, while for others it might be stopping the gang fighting in their neighborhood.”

On Monday, checks were presented to these four charities:

Seeds of Peace received $45,000. Seeds of Peace is dedicated to empowering young leaders from regions of conflict with the leadership skills required to advance reconciliation and coexistence. http://www.seedsofpeace.org/.

Women for Women International received $76,000. Women for Women International promotes peace in the home by supporting women in war-torn regions with financial and emotional aid, job-skills training, rights, education and small business assistance so they can rebuild their lives. http://www.womenforwomen.org/.

USA Cares received $69,000. USA Cares supports those who sacrifice for peace – the members of our military and their families – by offering assistance with such necessities as food, housing, primary vehicle repair, mortgage repayment and rent. http://www.usacares.us/.

Action Against Hunger received $60,000. Action Against Hunger delivers programs in more than 40 countries in emergency situations of war, conflict and natural disasters to end hunger and create a climate for Peace. http://www.aah-usa.org/.
