Miss Selfridge is our destination of choice for today’s Bargain Tuesday, thanks to this uber useful studded slouch bag in a great shade of mink. Subtly decorated with smoothed-down studs, it his all the right style notes for the current season and will fit in with your wardrobe as neatly as it fits under your arm.

Bargain Tuesday: studded slouch hobo
We’re in a glamorous mood here at The Bag Lady today, and who said there was a law against that on a Monday? Frankly I enjoyed my weekend, and I’ve had it on good authority that there’s another one starting late on Friday night. Surely it’s time to get planning?

The ‘BF Pouch’ from Rebecca Minkoff was one of the feel-good hit bags of the summer. Small, chic and particularly great for festival-going, it popped up on the likes of Agyness Deyn and several other celebs who aren’t afraid to occasionally walk on the wild side of town.

I love giving (and receiving!) designer gifts: a cherished brand will always provide that special little extra touch that ensures it’ll be so much more than just a token. So when I see anything as lovely as this See by Chloe purse at an affordable price point, my head goes into pressie-buying overdrive

The iconic Vivienne Westwood ‘Yasmin’ tote is one of the most recognisable styles out there, but of the many re-workings I’ve seen of the bag, this has got to be one of my favourites. In characteristically daring Dame Viv style, it’s made up of ‘clashing’ red and pink dots that somehow look fabulous together.

This is a tad embarrassing to admit, considering what I do for a living, but my luggage? It’s kind of busted. I don’t travel all that frequently, maybe a couple of times a year at the most, and I generally prefer to use my money on things that I’ll enjoy on a regular basis – bags, shoes, clothes, gadgets
Our friends at StyleRepublic have a fun feature they run every Friday that involves people they love to follow on Twitter and last Friday it was my turn! My Twitter friend Brittany who runs the StyleRepublic magazine had the idea to do this fun Q&A. The extra fun part in filling out the form was that I didn’t type it, I hand-wrote.

Last night the Juicy Couture Bags & Bubbly event I hosted took place at the Juicy Couture 5th Ave store. Let me start by telling you how different the Juicy handbag line is from what I usually expected from the brand. And let me also tell you how incredibly nice the Juicy Couture team was! We arrived at the Juicy Couture flagship store on 5th Ave 15 minutes before the event started

Juicy Couture Bags & Bubbly Wrap Up
Before we get into the rest of the season finale of Real Housewives of DC , I have something that you guys need to read, if you haven’t already seen it. Jezebel writer Tracie Egan Morrissey, one of my favorite bloggers, has compiled a rather comprehensive list of the various lies, cons and scandals in which our Awful Twins, Michaele and Tareq Salahi, have been involved over the past decade or so. When you sit and read it in a bulleted list, the scope of their grifting is nothing short of epic.

This quite extraordinary piece from Versace is a really dazzling item that’s made up of an array of bold prints, all pulled together for an amazing finish. An item like this will grab all the attention your outfit is likely to need, so it would work best worn with plain, razor sharp tailoring.

It has often seemed as though Jean Paul Gaultier’s favorite thing to do on the Hermes runway is riff on the classics that make the brand so iconic and successful, and Hermes Spring 2011 , Gaultier’s swan song with the brand, was a horse-tastic, S&M-tinged ode to exactly those tendencies. The handbags mostly stayed clear of the psychosexual leanings of clothing, but that isn’t to say that they weren’t interesting.

The ASOS sale is just too cool for school! This adorable real leather satchel has been reduced from £40 to just £28 in the sale that’s taking place at the moment and for those who haven’t yet got the look, it’s a great opportunity to nail it at a perfect price.

Allow my eyes to just glaze over for a minute here: this simply divine handbag from Marc Jacobs is the sort of piece that I’ll never own without a moderate lottery win, but imagination is a wonderful thing and I can see myself carrying this along with my fun-fur outerwear and most elegant hat and gloves this winter.

While shoe shopping yesterday, I encountered a sales associate that very much wanted to tell me all about the trends for Fall 2010. I worked retail in college, so I never mind letting someone do their sales spiel without interruption, even if I already know what it’s going to contain

Seen from the outside, it’s a smart if plain black wallet, obviously well made from high quality materials but otherwise nothing too special. But open it up and this item reveals its true ‘purse’onality, with a fun, bold and quirky design, which organises your moolah into paper and plastic.

We’re absolutely loving this gigantic necklace – so big it as to be referred to as a neck piece from talented designer Natalie Brown. Autumnal and lovely, it’s like wearing the shadows from a weeping fern around your neck, and will add substance and character to your look.
One of the most un-high street items to be found on the high street this season is this intriguing silver-toned metal box clutch at French Connection. Engraved with an intricate pattern and metallic throughout, the bag actually looks more ‘vintage’ in real life than in this pic (it has an aged, bronzey tint to it) and is bound to attract attention.
