The Color Purple

Am loving Purple and what with my lust for bags, here are two that combine the trends for Fall with the lusciousness of the hue…

Combine Purple with Patent (a Fall trend) to get this gorgeous Lanvin Kansas tote! Another trend, but so tastefully done, guaranteed to update your wardrobe in a bag-pickin’-punch-packin’ second!

Buy Via Barneys

And, the other strong, strong trend, that of Exotics! Combine the exotic Ostrich with luxe Purple and put it in the form of Mulberry Bayswater and know what catapults a great bag into an instant ‘It’ bag!

Buy Via Net-A-Porter

Every once in a while, we obsess. Fashionably, of course. It does stop people in their tracks, we however, think its mildly charming. Charm, like degrees of insanity is subjective, yes, but for now, all arguments come in shades of Purple!

Fabulous For Less

I love trends just as much as the next fashionista in line for her latte, but lets face it, not all of us are blessed with paychecks that allow us to follow every fad, every season.. so we do what we must, pick and choose, and always, always, have a keen eye on the lookout for the next best buy!

Now, I know not much is needed to unravel that style goddess in you but we all need some help now and then, and if the tenet is, ‘Fabulous For Less’, you bet am listening! And so should you!

Besides, its not just ‘Fabulous For Less’, its all under $50 baby!! Got your attention now, didn’t I?

First up is a beautiful satin clutch in silver from Steve Madden. Silver is one of those classic colors for evening that you will get maximum use out of, for a very very long time. And it practically goes with everything! Besides, its priced at $48, and you aren’t about to hear any complaints!

Buy Via Steve Madden

Next up, the next big trend: cuffs. I’ve seen many of those, and either they are too boring or too expensive. But not this one, no sirrie. The Laced Up Cuff Bracelet from Rimistyle is just too much fun for words! The form is unexpected, modern, fun and whimsy. All that punch for a mere $22. Bliss huh?

Buy Via Rimistyle

And finally, Devi Kroell for Target is absolutely worship worthy! I love the faux snakeskin tote in dark charcoal gray and at $49.99, thats two trends for fall, packed in one great bag!

Buy Via Target

Exotica!

The word is Exotic and the world of Exotic bags is all up and about just being alive and kicking! We are talking Python, Alligator, Lizard, Anaconda.. you name it, imagine it, and if backed by serious purse strings, you can have it!

The bags in these Exotics are upwards of many thousands of dollars and without getting into the debate of, if it is right or wrong, ethical or not..some of these bags are gorgeous in all of their being. Feast your eyes on some of my picks..

Here is the Nancy Gonzalez Crocodile Satchel. Beautiful isn’t it? You have to feel it to know it baby!! Buy for a mere (ahem) $3500.00 via Saks.

And here is the Bottega Veneta Limited Edition Python Hobo available at Saks for $4960.00. I know, I know its a bit heavy on the wallet but one can’t help admiring it..

And tell me how wonderful is this Bottega Veneta Anaconda bag.. Luscious is the word that comes to mind..but way over what I can even dream to afford at $4540.00..but that shouldn’t stop us from dreaming right? Read more via The Bag Snob.
(psst… Payal and I call them the Bottega Dreams! Ha!)

I love the texture of Python leather, its soft and buttery but still flaky..it is not perfect, and the leather has a bit of textured-grainy feel! You can constantly run your fingers on the leather, up and down the bag, absolutely loving the feel of it, without ever getting tired of it! Of course, I then started looking for an Exotic that can even be remotely afforded and I found this beautiful Gucci Black Python Princy Large Top Handle Tote at $1950.00. Still a hefty price but compared to whats in the market currently, this is practically a steal! And remember these prices are only going to keep going up, up and up, so this is a good investment methinks!Buy via Bergdorf Goodman. Take a look!

So..how Exotic are you?
