The Look For Less: Dior Gypsy Ruffles Bag

FabSugar — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 14:00:22 PST

Lately I've been going on about the merits of tiered ruffles, and now they've even made their way onto handbags!

One of the new Dior bags for Spring, the Dior Gypsy Ruffles Bag ($1,950) has ruffles, eyelet, and plenty of bohemian appeal. Since its price tag isn't nearly as appealing, I found a more budget-friendly option for you to get your ruffle fix with.

To see the look for less,

This Urban Outfitters Sweet Jane Leather Purse ($150) costs less than 10 percent of the Dior bag, and it's sleeker and more pared down. It's still got the ruffle-boho appeal, but is slightly less fantastical. Love it!

Trend Alert: Modern Day Hobos

I bet you Kate Hudson's character in Almost Famous, Penny Lane, had a favorite style handbag. And I bet you it was the hippie classic hobo. While the hobo has a reputation for being the stoner of handbags, there is no denying the slouchy, laid-back shape is groovy, man. Enter hobo redux...meet some modern day hobos.

Rafe New York beige leather 'Molly' medium hobo, $297.
DKNY Silver Metallic Leather Hobo, $375.
Tommy Hilfiger Handbags Grenada Foldover Hobo, on sale for $67.15 (originally $79).

Gear Review: Lululemon Hot Yoga Hobo Bag

Leta Shy — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 03:49:50 PDT

Considering my everyday handbag is large enough to carry more things than necessary, I was happy to receive the roomy Lululemon Hobo Bag ($118) for review. At 15 inches wide by 13.5 inches tall, this bag is made to fit everything you'll need before and after your workout, whether that's a sweaty Bikram class or a heart-pounding gym session.

After a few weeks of trucking the bag to and from work, the gym, and yoga class, I've gotten used to being able to lug around more gear than I probably should. For one, the Hobo bag holds its shape whether it's packed or empty, which makes it easy to fill when I'm getting my gear ready at night. A surprising number of pockets and compartments makes gym organization easy too - there are three interior mesh pockets, one zippered, for small items (most pockets have a label, like "before," "after", "keys," and, naturally, "chocolate"), not to mention a strap to hold your yoga mat (it will stick out of the unzipped top). On the outside there are two large zippered compartments that can fit your clothes, and two outside pockets for anything from a yoga towel to your phone; they also have toggle ties, which will keep your water bottle from spilling. With these organizational amenities it's no wonder the bag can fit everything I need; in addition to my shoes, sports bra, pants, cosmetics bag, and multiple workout shirts, I'm able to stuff my laptop in it as well.

Read on for more on my thoughts about the Hot Yoga Hobo.
