We have our perfect pastoral romance fantasy outfit with a white sheer Clu bubble dress and Floral Prada Garden Slide Pumps so we thought we would go all the way with our Greek countryside fantasy and find a bag for toting our goat cheese and wine skins. We think this Lambertson Truex Bradley Canvas Tote is just right.
When traveling it is easy to focus on others. Aliena nobis, nostra plus aliis placent or Other people's things are more pleasing to us, and ours to other people is never more true than when on a trip. Waiting to pick up bags is an exercise in jealousy at times. But it is possible to avoid that grass is always green mentality. Who wouldn't be completely satisfied with this Rebecca Minkoff Dream Bag? It is a tidy little duffle style shoulder bag that just screams stylish travel!

Albert Einstein once said that "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler." This Buti Tulip Multi-Colored Leather Buckled Strap Tote toes the line between simple and simpler. It takes a clean tote form and collides with a burst of eye catching colors.
An entirely handmade bag with the best quality Italian leathers,
it features an original tulip shape in green, purple and camel stripes and
a buckled strap.
We think of Aristotle as a philosopher even when he wrote texts on any number of scientific topics. In his Meteorology he said yellow objects appear to be gold when in optics and rainbows. Now call us silly but we think this might actually have a bit of philosophic wisdom when it comes to this Fred Flare Yellow Olsen Satchel.
It looks like a fantastic high end bag even though it is just PVC. And that little bit of trickery makes it just $44. Since Aristotle didn't put a judgment on whether or not it was bad that yellow appears to be gold at times we think this bag should pass muster.
But today we found a reference point we can understand. Lauren Conrad is a guest designer for Linea Pelle. We have always appreciated the contemporary handbag line and thought their bags a decent value. Clearly if they are reaching out to promote themselves via Lauren Conrad it must mean we have something in common. We still don't know what it means, but with Linea Pelle as a reference point perhaps some day communication will be possible. Either that or all meaning is now so blurred that the panoptica of reality culture has skewed all our understanding. With fame whoring being the way to decent sales in an overcrowded market space we might have to go with blurred though.
In the epic poem The Faerie Queene we explore allegories of virtue and vice in an Arthurian landscape. The third book brings the readers to the House of Busyrane. The protongist Amoret is entreated on the three gates of the to "Be bold!" on the first gate; "Be bold, be bold, and evermore be bold," on the
second gate; and "Be not too bold!" on the third gate. 
We feel this is sound advice, particularly when one is dealing with the purchase of an extreme handbag. Wild colors like orange are encouraged but sometimes it is best to temper it with a little of the "be not too bold." This Henry Cuir Blue Jeans Large Tote is a perfect example. Its bright color exemplifies stylistic boldness but its simple tote form reigns it in with reason.
The weather is just starting to cool but savvy fashionistas are already planning what to wear when they escape the chill to their winter warm retreats! Net-a-Porter has the Top Ten Bags Of Cruise 2008

Sounds like the copy writers had fun huh?
We caught up with Jessica Simpson on her trip to the View thanks to Popsugar and noticed that Jessica's love of printed goodies from Michael Kors goes beyond just leopard print dresses. 
She carried something very close to the Michael Kors Python Zipper Shopper with her darling sweater dress. 
Giant patent leather bags of all styles and colors can be found almost anywhere this season. One of the more intriguing iterations of this beleaguered trend is the MCM Black Patent Medium Duffle Tote
During the '80s, MCM was famous for their monogrammed bags that apparently all
chic European girls adored. They recently relaunched and so far so good. This bag is a mix for form and function. It measures 9" tall by 13" by 6"
wide, has patent leather top handles, a long detachable strap to make it a crossbody bag, white topstiching, silver hardware and lots of pockets. That logo is going to set you back fifteen hundred big ones though.
There is a difference between like and love or so we learned from Ten Things I Hate About You. And while we never much cared for Sketcher Shoes and we think Prada Nylon is sort of a waste of money we do feel a lot of love for this Prada Glazed Calfskin Pocket Tote.
It seems like the sort of bag we would carry if we are a hot rich busy Mom who needed to carry around wet wipes and her Chanel lipstick. You gotta look good and get the kid to Gymboree are we right?
14"H x 15"W x 5 3/4"D.
