The Look For Less: Dolce & Gabbana Leopard Bag

FabSugar — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 04:00:22 PDT

Leopard bags are having a hot moment, just ask Nicky Hilton who got Alexander Wang's leopard bucket bag. They're beyond luscious and look exceptionally good with the trendy army green. Out of all the styles out there, this Dolce & Gabbana Miss Charles Leopard Print Flap Bag ($1,550) roars the loudest. I adore the small size and the chain handle. Too bad it's way out of my budget. Bummer.

This Melie Bianco Leopard Clutch ($40) is no Dolce & Gabbana, but for us budget-conscious ladies, it will do. It has the same flap-style closure, chain handle, and bright leopard print. True, it's not made of calf hair, but shh, I won't tell.

Trend Alert: Do the (Mini) Duffel

Duffels sure have come a long way. The former gym rat has since turned into a chic companion for stylish cuties across the globe. The shrunken size is ideal for running around town, and we love the endless variety of colors and textures. Peep how Kate Moss contrasted her sandstone hues with a black duffel by Louis Vuitton. Color me inspired. Go on, do the (mini) duffel!

Celeb Style: Reese Witherspoon

Reese always pulls it together. Here she is getting coffee in LA in cozy basics, but she looks anything but shabby. Her black knit cardigan peacoat fits like a mitten, and cropped dark blue jeans show off her classic Lanvin flats. Subtle gold jewelry and Ray-Ban Wayfarers are thrown-on personal touches. Now if we can just find out who designed her cool studded bag? Any guesses?

Trend Alert: Pyramid Pleasures

FabSugar — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 07:50:22 PST

Stella McCartney has been nonstop with the amazing ensembles. The other day, she donned an artsy jacket alongside Kate Moss, and today, she's all about pyramid pleasures. I love how the designer smartly contrasted her all-black 'fit with a high-voltage pyramid embellished clutch. The dimensional baubles add the right amount of texture to her slick accompaniments - amaze. If her decor is too daring for your taste, try out these spiky studs in smaller form.

Trend Alert: Do the Pleat

FabSugar — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 09:00:22 PDT

I admit, I was growing quite weary of the current selection of Fall handbags, but my outlook changed when I laid eyes on cool pleated bags. There's something for everyone with styles ranging from tightly stitched clutches to more haphazard pleats. This fresh Diane von Furstenberg Studded Napa Bag ($595) awakened my handbag soul to a level unparalleled. Dramatic much? But doesn't it make you want to do the pleat?

The Look For Less: Miu Miu Intreccio Woven Clutch

FabSugar — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 06:00:08 PST

Miu Miu has done it again with its delectable Intreccio Woven Clutch ($950). This plum confection is one of Fall's biggest colors and would complement any outfit in my closet. Purple is one of my favorite colors and the woven texture will never go out of style. But paying that much for a clutch is out of the question!
