Something Nauty and Nice from Fredricks of Hollywood: BAGTRENDS

Dear Bagistas,

Can you believe Thanksgiving is tomorrow? I hope you all have a wonderful time with your family and friends. Gather your energy because Friday is the official start of holiday shopping. But before you get to your list, treat yourself to something fun like a little (emphasis on little) something something from Frederick's of Hollywood. It's an in the bag essential - the only in the bag essential - for that romantic weekend at home or away! My top choice is this black and pink babydoll. Part naught, part nice. :)

Happy Holidays and ...
Have a Bag-a-licious day!

Cute Clutches under $200 by Aksuona: BAGTRENDS

Dear Bagistas,

I'm so excited to share a fun new UK brand with you - Aksuona. It's a super affordable, well crafted line of fun evening bags. For under $200 you get the handmade touch. Some styles are ever under $150. They make great holiday gifts for your gal friends. The Candy Clutch in Bronze is my favorite (it's actually a bronze/amber hue so it will work well with your metallics, your basic black and that hot red dress you just purchased). To learn more about Aksuona and the designer behind the brand ceck out Aksuona.com.

Shop away. And as always, do let me know what you think. I love hearing from all bagistas!

Happy Holidays!
Have a bag-a-licious day!

Getting Sassy with SassyBean.com: BAGTRENDS

Dear Bagistas,

As you know, I'm always on the hunt for new projects and opportunities and I have a new one to share. Starting in December, I'll be contributing my bag-a-licious scoop to the readers of http://www.sassybean.com/. If you haven't heard of the site yet, you will soon enough. It's co-founded by Emmy Award-winning CBS journalist Tamsen Fadal and her husband dating coach/relationship expert Matt Titus. The two also have a book coming out in 2008 and a reality show about dating! Their site, SassyBean, "spills the beans" on fashion, relationships, health, careers and how to live a compete life. I'm excited to be a part of this new venture and can't wait to spill my beans. My first entry will be about candy-colored patent bags - a must-have for the holiday season. From high-priced lux to affordable fun, there will be something for every sassy girl to love. I hope you'll check it out.

Have a bag-a-licious day!

Going Steady with Rebecca Minkoff, spring 2008 bags: BAGTRENDS

Dear Bagistas,
Yesterday we posted images of the Rebecca Minkoff Spring 2008 handbag line at BagTrends.com. Isn't it amazing? The Steady (shown here) is such a breathtaking bag and my new it bag. I love the satchel shape, the option of the shoulder strap, the four cleverly designed outer pockets and especially the flip open hidden magnetic opening. Seriously, it's divine design and I'm personally buying it in sterling which is kind of a deceiving name. The color isn't really silver, but more of a really really muted-down gold that has a silver undertone. The leather has a nice texture so it's another great through-and-go bag (ie no worries about scraping the body). They will retail for $625 at ShopBagTrends.com and I know you're thinking "gosh that's a lot," but OMG this is such a hot bag I can't even begin to tell you how I begged and pleaded at the showroom to get one asap. Alas, I too will have to wait. If you want one we'll begin taking pre-orders in January.

I also have to comment on the wicked new custom hardware on the Morning After Bags. Previously, the side clasps had no logo or spunk. But now, the RM initials in the signature swivel script are elegantly engravd into gold or silver lockets. This should help fend off pesky knockoffs. Morning After Minis will retail for $515.
