Maybe you're a fan of celebrity-designed handbags, or maybe you love New York socialite Tinsley Mortimer, or maybe you're just infatuated with anything and everything Gossip Girl. Whatever your obsession, you'll find your fix on SamanthaThavasaUsa.com, the Japan-based handbag company known for its celebrity collaborations. Previously the brand has worked with Nicky Hilton and the Cruz sisters, to name a few.Tinsley Mortimer is the latest celebrity to design for the brand. She created a capsule collection with a whopping 88 bags, with prices ranging from $180 to $1,300 depending on the size and style. The pieces are varied and eclectic, albeit lacking a bit of cohesion; with that many purses, who can blame her? Regardless, there are some goodies - I'm crushing on the plaid bags for Fall.

How Would YOU Wear It? Paris Hilton

Based off of the show What NOT To Wear, I'm deeming this edition of How Would YOU Wear It? "How NOT To Wear Colored Tights."

I'm all for colorful tights but Paris killed her beautiful Nanette Lepore dress by pairing it with tacky pink tights. Was she trying to match with the pink carpet?

If I were Paris and standing next to my stylish sister (love the plaid and Chanel shoes, Nicky!), I would have burned those tights. Instead, I'd go bare-legged like little sis. The peep-toe pumps are a bit questionable as well, so I'd ditch those for something more festive.

How would YOU wear it?

On Our Radar: The Cruz Sisters for Samantha Thavasa

FabSugar — Fri, 19 Oct 2007 17:00:22 PDT

Penelope and her sister Monica have been traipsing around Japan this week promoting their new bag line for Samantha Thavasa. Samantha may not be a household name in the US, but she has quite a cult following in Japan and recently opened her first boutique in New York.

The Cruz ladies, who are becoming quite the designing duo, are not the first celebrities to colloborate with Thavasa: Nicky Hilton and Beyoncé have also created bags for the design house. The official unveiling of the collection occured last night and although there doesn't seem to be a cohesive feel to the collection, I do like their use of hardware. What do you think?
