I’m assuming the fawn isn’t included, but this colourful linen coin purse is just the sort of thing Etsy sellers do best: fun, folksy handmade fare that will add that little bit of charm and personality to your accessories look. A pretty purse always attracts plenty of admiration, and it’s a great way to add a bit of cheer to your daily routine.

I have mostly all kinds of Balenciaga envy right now. And the bag that I am currently not only super envious of but also feeling like I absolutely must track one down myself is a floral Balenciaga bag from S/S08 . Seriously, could this bag pair together a more luscious green with the right amount of an oversized floral pattern?

When you get down to the details, it’s no surprise that Nancy Gonzalez ’s bags are so successful. First, the brand keeps costs down by sourcing most materials from its own farms, which means that Gonzalez’s crocodile and python bags are among the most well-priced exotics in the mass-market luxury business. Second, Gonzalez & Co.

Visible zip detailing has been a shoe and accessory trend for at least a couple of seasons now, but the newer, softer way it’s being used strikes a real contrast with the more ‘punky’ styles we saw last winter. The zips in this coming seasons’ collections are far more about creating an elegant and eye-catching look that works with smart evening wear.

LiLo may be about to spend a short period behind bars, but at least she hasn’t committed any fashion crimes with this lovely rich tan handbag in squashy leather. It’s a lovely burnt shade of autumn leaf, which we can imagine she might look forward to wearing once again when she’s out of trouble…

If you’re looking for an on-trend style without being a label slave, Not on the High Street is a great place to look at the moment. Plenty of their designers are in the business of making top quality bags that aren’t in the least ‘alternative’, but in small runs that make the finished product a little more unusual and interesting

Moving to NYC will ensure an easy in-person shopping experience for just about every item I want to check out. It doesn’t mean I will stop online shopping (hello, what are late sleepless nights for), but I will have the fashion world at my finger tips. Don’t get me wrong, South Florida is filled with amazing shopping, like our hangout Bal Harbour Shops, but we all know it is not the same as NYC.

And here we are again, Week 11 of an interminable march toward our own demise. Real Housewives of New Jersey shows no signs of stopping at any point in the foreseeable future, and I’m afeared that might mean another 14-episode run like we saw from the New York housewives. The only problem with that, of course, is that the New York housewives actually DID THINGS.

Mischa Barton’s styles really are evolving! We’ve seen quite a lot of recent designs from the label that really stand out as being visually ‘different’, and while we had nothing against her boho styles and floral motifs, it’s refreshing to see her come up with something a bit less tame.

We just can’t get enough of this new print used for by Louis Vuitton for the label’s autumn winter collection for 2010. Shown here on the iconic speedy (left) and also on a smaller clutch bag, it’s a fabulous blend of traditional and contemporary that LV is getting absolutely right in many of its designs at present.

We’re sensing a certain ‘disco fever’ in the air at the moment. Perhaps it’s the holiday mood creeping in, reminding us of times when we’ve lost our inhibitions and danced like mad things to the latest Euro pop hits? Whatever it is, it’s a good excuse to glam it up and start posing, so how can you do that in a way that allows you to revert to your more sensible gear in September without shelling out too much on the crazy holiday style

We’ve all gone ‘wow’ at the new military-influenced handbag range at Jimmy Choo, and then ‘ouch’ at the price, which is more or less a tidy grand for each full-sized accessory. And for many of us, that’s where the internal conversation would end.

[Image: REX] Paris Hilton and her big sister Nicky have been showing a bit of a shift towards city chic and more understated style recently, with Balmain and Proenza Schouler featuring heavily in their daily wardrobe decisions (and blimey, it must be a big decision when you’ve got that many clothes and accessories to choose from!

As if I needed more reasons to adore the Proenza Schouler PS1 … This video from Net-A-Porter not only gives us more looks at the bag itself but also gives us insight on the design of the bag straight from the designers themselves. Here are some interesting facts about the Proenza Schouler PS1 : 1 ) It was supposed to be the anti-”it” bag 2 ) The PS1 is like a school boys bag stripped of everything with no logos 3 ) The PS1 has never and will never be shown on the runway 4 ) The duo was looking for a low key bag that flew under the radar 5 ) This is the first bag designed by Proenza Schouler (what a hit!) 6 ) They would not create a bag until they found the perfect craftspeople in Italy to do so 7 ) Jack’s favorite version of the PS1 is brown suede ( coming soon to NAP ) I was already set on buying a PS1 and now I am double set, if that is even possible

You may not have an iPad or the most up-to-date netbook on the market, but with a cover like this, does it really matter what’s underneath? The sleek and stylish lipstick print case from Marc Jacobs is the hottest geek accessory out there at the moment, and we’re loving it in black and gold print, as pictured above.

We do love Cup of Sea , and this fabulously retro set of ‘sandwich’ rings is one of our favourite pieces from this quirky range of hand-made acrylic jewellery. As with most of their pieces, the rings need to be worn all together to create the full effect; in this case a juicy looking sarnie made from cheese, bread and even a miniature tomato.
