Holiday Handbags!

Ho Ho HooooMG I want these cute clutches:

($145, Kooba, Activeendeavors.com)

Love the idea of holiday accessories that are sort of in the red family but aren't like Santa-red.

($350, GoldenBleu, Fashionchateau.com)

I will, however, make an exception for GoldenBleu. LOVES.

($138, Hobo International, Bloomingdales)

Not bad. I really love the black one.

($78, Banana Republic)

A nice little elegant number to hold all of the 143 lipsticks and glosses I invariably and inexplicably have on me at any given moment.

($65, Levis)

I've spent half my day in disbelief that this bag is by Levi's. (Okay, not half. More like 13 seconds, but still...) HOW cute it is this? I never would've guessed -- it looks like a sweet little 1950s vintage number handed down to you by your "dirty joke" auntie. Hooray to you, Levi's, for nailing that subset of the handbag market!

($138, Bo Bo Bags, Luggagepoint.com)

I am including this as a "holiday bag" because it's a cute travel bag, and sometimes you gotta travel over the holidays. To get to where the presents are.

(Apprx $61 USD, Topshop)

And speaking of presents, I would very much like to receive this Topshop butterfly print bag as a present! Looks like it's sold out right now, though perhaps they'll re-up?


And finally, here is a bag I PRAY no one receives as a present, for it is no gift at all:

($54.99, the erroneously named Ivegotyourbag.com)

Um, I don't know who the fuck Kippy is or why s/he charges $445 for belts that probably even Brooke Hogan wouldn't be caught dead in, but someone needs to put a stop to this fashion morts ASAP before the holidays are RUINED FOR EVER FOR EVERYONE!

I Heart Hayden-Harnett Handbags

Sigh. My tastes just got a little pricier.

I LUST after this Hayden-Harnett bag:

($598, Hayden-Harnett, Thepursestore.com)
Despite the fact that I'm half Israeli (fun fact!!), I'm a little hesitant to invest in a bag named "Gaza." But still... maybe I could justify it as... supporting my people? Oh wait. There are no more Jews in Gaza, silly! GAME ON! The bag will be MINE! (As soon as I find a knock-off for one-sixth of the price.) I love the pocketiness, and I like the fact that it looks like a designer bag (well, it is, duh!), but it looks sorta timeless and not too it-bag-esque. Wah. WANT! Here's one on eBay for $360, but I'm a wee bit dubious about knockoffs. I mean, if I'm gonna buy a knockoff, I'd better be DAMN sure it's a real knockoff. I want a knockoff guarantee!
(More on this beauty of a bag on The Bag Lady.)


($278, Hayden-Harnett, Amazon)
The Gaza Weekender. You know, for those weekend jaunts to the Strip. A great bag, to be sure, but the O.G. leather one's the real deal Holyfield.



($253, Hayden-Harnett, Amazon)
The Mercer bag. A true beauty. Dig that handle. Practical? Non. Pretty? Oui.



($138, Hayden-Harnett, Amazon)
Eeeek! Even their novelty items are deliciously darling! Can't... resist... cute... bird... stuff.



($26, Hayden-Harnett, Amazon)
Alfie bird clip. Y'all, his name is Alfie!!! Cuter than cute right there.



($45, Hayden-Harnett, Amazon)
Just try to resist the cuteness of an acorn keychain/ charm.



($28, Hayden-Harnett, Amazon)
Even their wee coin purses are adorbz. And priced reasonably as well. Huzzah!



($149, Marc by Marc Jacobs, eLuxury)
Apropos of absolutely nothing, this Marc by Marc Jacobs Quintana jersey dress is gorgeous and affordablay!



($625, Goldenbleu, ActiveEndeavors.com)
I REALLY want this Goldenbleu Jordan bag. Yeah, it's even more expensive than the Hayden-Harnett bags, but a girl's gotta dream big, right?



($72, Blumarine)
Finally, these awful shorts break just about every rule in the book. Rules that are never meant to be broken. Via V Magazine. Ew.
