Balenciaga is excited to offer a gold hardware exclusive to its loyal clients. The giant gold products are bringing mixed feelings and reviews. I for one like the beautiful detail the gold brings to the bags, but others prefer that it be left off as it does stick quite a ways off the surface of the bag. I would be curious to hear what others have to say.

I'm a big fan of hobo bags as they make great carry-all bags for everyday use, and the Jimmy Choo Mandah Hobo is certainly getting a lot of publicity lately. It is in the center of the new Jimmy Choo ad campaign, but does it really boost the Jimmy Choo image? My opinion is, No. Yes, it is a nice looking bag, but I just don't see what the big deal is. I don't see anything particularly outstanding about the bag, so it leaves me with no real opinion about it at all. How about you? Jimmy Choo Mandah Hobo available at Nordstrom - $1,595.00.

Oh, my goodness! Look at this! What a sweet little bag. I absolutely love it! My daughter's 16th birthday is coming up in May, and I have already started to think about what I'm going to give her for such a BIG birthday...no, not a car. This would be perfect for her.
Let's look at some of the details. This sweet bag is called the Dooney & Bourke Signature New Quilt Small Slouch Bag. Whew. It measures 14"W x 8-1/2"H x 4-3/4"D with a single leather strap with 8-1/4" drop. It has a zip-top closure along with an inside zip pocket, cell phone pockets, and a key hook. It is made of water-repellent cotton with logo design and leather trim.
I love the softness of this bag, both in color and texture. The soft pink and blue logo with the blonde leather combine very nicely. The buckle strap gives it just enough edge that a teenager will be proud to carry it.... and yes, even me. Dooney & Bourke "Signature New Quilt" Small Slouch Bag -- Available at macys.com!
This Italian beauty is called the Coccinelle Cameron Taupe Ruffled Calf Leather Hobo Bag. This particular beauty truly has as much personality as it does letters in its name... A LOT! I saw this bag and instantly fell in love.
The soft, supple calf leather is pleated all the way around to give the Cameron hobo a chic yet romantic ruffled look, and the classy gold-tone hardware, adjustable buckled sides and oversize signature zipper pull finish off the look with perfection. I really like the two zipper pockets across the front. If you are like me, you need a very convenient place for your keys and for your favorite lipstick without having to open up your purse and dig or unzip more pockets inside. With these outer pockets, it's one zip convenient.
I also love the size of this bag. It measures 16.14"W x 10.63"H x 8.27"D and the leather shoulder strap has a drop of 7.9" which is really a nice size bag. This beautiful Coccinelle Cameron Handbag is available at Forzieri.com for $559.00.
Jimmy Choo has some very interesting Valentines Day gift ideas, one of which is the Jimmy Choo Zulu Tie Dye Patent Wallet. This cute little bag can be used as both a small clutch or an over-sized wallet as it measures in at 12"L x 7"H x 7"W. The tie dye pattern of swirled black and red fit the Valentines theme very nicely; however, I personally feel that the price tag of $625 is a little too high.

Upon checking my e-mail this morning, I found an e-mail from Gucci announcing their Valentines Day gift ideas. Among these great ideas was the Gucci Joy Medium Boston Bag. This bag comes in many different prints, but I chose to show you the one with red hearts all over it just to get us all in the mood for Valentines Day.
The white Joy Medium Boston Bag with red hearts has red, double handles, zip-top closure, D ring detail, inside pocket, and measures 12.6"L x 6.y"W x 8.7"H. You can find this bag for sale at Gucci.com for $695.
Now, a Gucci bag for $695 really is a great deal, and if the red hearts don't fit your personal style, there are several different prints to choose from. I think I will be dropping a little bug in my hubby's ear for this one.
