Top Ten Items on Saks.com: BAGTRENDS

Dear Bagistas,

Still want more holiday shopping guidance? Great. I've asked my friends at Saks.com to share what their top 10 best selling items are right now. Naturally, the bulk of them are accessories though only one is a bag. I'd think a bag is an easier gift as there is no size issues, but hey to each their own.

Holiday Gifts Under $20: BAGTRENDS

Dear Bagistas,

After all that holiday shopping - with me it was 8 crazy nights, and yes that means 8 gifts per person!! - it's a bit daunting to think about New Year's gifts. Ya, New Years gifts! Do you do that? I do that now that my friends began to exchange gifts on New Years day over the last few years. Anywho, if you too are strapped for cash after holiday shopping check out the BagTrends list of Top 20 Gifts under $20. My personal favorites are:
Pink Magazine 1-year subscription - it's a combination of Wall St. Journal, Marie Claire and Fortune and an ideal gift for any woman that has her own business of is just juggling her personal and professional life.
Nordstrom Glitter Handbag Ornament - I love it for obvious reasons and while I don't have a Christmas tree I plan to hand one in my office from my memo board. It's perfect.
Lulu Cable Knit Hat - of course color is big this season and as I always say, if you're not the gal to rock the fushcia coat or hot red skirt an accessory like this is wonderful burst of color for your warm weather wardrobe.

Lulu Cable Knit Hat, $12



Pink Magazine 1-year subscription, $15



Nordstrom Glitter Handbag Ornament $6 each

Bag Guru Pamela Pekerman on VH-1: BAGTRENDS

Dear Bagistas,

What a year it has been! Just in time for the New Year and my b-day a wonderful gift arrived - or rather aired. This week, I made my VH-1 debut chatting about celebrity handbag trends during The Fabulous Life Presents Celebrity Superspenders 2007.

I went loaded with scoop on Victoria's $2million+ Hermes collection, JLo's python passion (recent sightings include her Zagliani tote and Gucci Indy shoulder bag), Demi's exclusive YSL Downtown tote, Kimora Lee Simmons' one-of-a-kind, $150K, supersized Birkin and much more. Sadly, the segment was cut and only included me chatting about Beyonc'es LV Tribute bag ... which I refereed to as "a monstrosity" going on to say that "just because you have a lot of money, there is no accounting for taste." Naturally, that was edited out.

In any event, I'll be back in the 2008 season to dish more scoop. As for this show, the next airing of The Fabulous Life Presents Celebrity Superspenders 2007 is Tuesday, December 18th at 3:30PM est. (Please ignore the hair. It was a very muggy NY day when this was taped.)

Have a bag-a-licious day!

Aksuona Handbags, affordable luxury: BAGTRENDS

Dear Bagistas,



Quality, hand made and affordable are not often used to describe one brand, but UK-based Natasha Anouska hopes to change that with the launch of Aksuona a line of, you guessed it, quality, handmade and affordable evening bags that will dazzle even the toughest of handbags connoisseurs. If you’re looking to add something to your existing repertoire of clutches, perhaps some metallic luster or a bold violet gemstone number, but you don’t want to break the bank, Aksuona is a good choice. After an inspiring trip to India, designer and founder Natasha left the not-so-glamorous world of pharmaceuticals to pursue her passion for purses. British baristas have been loving her fun designer and moderate prices for a whole year and now it’s time for stateside gals to enjoy. READ ON for my full interview with designer Natasha Anouska and shop the Aksuona collection.
