Dolce & Gabbana 'Miss Helen' Crocheted Shopper, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Dolce & Gabbana Miss Helen Crocheted Shopper Handbag
I, for one, don't think there's enough crochet in the world of fashion. It's a bit of a lost art. Dolce & Gabbana must think so too because they've come up with this pretty Miss Helen Crocheted Shopper as part of their Spring 2010 collection. It features pretty crochet over lambskin leather and has two pairs of long leather tassels and a set of mixed-metal chains draped over the front for a nice contrast of old-fashioned and modern. A great way to incorporate a chunk of black into your spring ensemble. $1,895.

Each pair is presented in its own jewelry case featuring a plaque with the words "Dolce &Gabbana Gold Edition" and containing two tiny side drawers to hold a cleaning cloth and certificate of authenticity. Inside there is a semi-rigid glasses case in black leather, decorated with a tiny plaque and logo. The Gold Edition models are available at ILORI Luxury Sunglass boutiques.

Dolce & Gabbana Miss Martini Patchwork Pony Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Dolce & Gabbana Miss Martini Patchwork Pony Shoulder BagThe Dolce & Gabbana Miss Martini Patchwork Pony Shoulder Bag is a fun way to work a lot of animals prints into your outfit at the same time.

Some of these prints are actually pony hair, originating from Italy and New Zealand, so not only does the bag make it look like you're dating a successful Serengeti fur trapper, but it's soft and stroke-worthy (helpful, because you miss him on his long trips).

In all seriousness, this is super cute. Throw this over your shoulder with a little black dress, put a martini in the other hand, and you might as well be in Mad Men. The bag is 9"W X 8"H X 1½"D, and has a fabulous goldtone chain and logo plate. Added bonus: all these colors are neutrals, so you can totally pair it with your jewel-toned holiday dresses for a very luxe effect.

The Dolce & Gabbana Miss Martini Patchwork Pony Shoulder Bag is available from Saks Fifth Avenue for $1,075.00.

Dolce & Gabbana Miss Sicily Patent, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Dolce & Gabbana Miss Sicily PatentThe Dolce & Gabbana Miss Sicily Patent is pretty and bold in its distinctive shade of bright, but unusually warm, pink.

Pink and gold would have sounded out of season to us, but this shade makes the whole look new. We love this bag -- the sturdy framing at the top, the gold hardware and logo plate, and the way the handle is positioned so as not to allow gravity to disrupt the shape of the bag.

At 8"H x 10 1/2"W x 6 1/4"D, this is not the bag to lug all your things to work -- the size insists that you only use this for play (but it's still roomy enough for all your makeup and even your camera). And we like that.

The Dolce & Gabbana Miss Sicily Patent is available from Neiman Marcus for $1,750.00.

Dolce & Gabbana Miss Sicily Plisse Tote, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Dolce & Gabbana Miss Sicily Plisse ToteThe Dolce & Gabbana Miss Sicily Plisse Tote is an elegant, seductive twist on a classic shape.

The soft strips of plisse leather show sexy peeks of ivory beneath, and are housed in a sturdy frame to keep the bag from appearing too frivolous. This sensible bag's luscious texture make it stand out from the pack -- that ivory detail really catches the eye!

The top handle is an achievement in and of itself, with graceful silvertone hardware purposefully breaking up the line of the frame. The 14 3/5"H x 11 4/5"W x 6 3/10"D bag also includes a goldtone logo plaque on the side.

This Italian tote transitions easily from day to night and compliments almost any color. Of all the fabulous textures we'll be seeing this fall, this interpretation of plisse is one of our favorites.

The Dolce & Gabbana Miss Sicily Plisse Tote is available for pre-order from Neiman Marcus for $2,795.00.

Sony Ericsson teams up with Dolce & Gabbana for Jalou Mobile Phone

Filed under: Gadgets



Fashion-conscious female consumers who feel like most of the mobile phones on the market are far too ugly and masculine for their taste should be excited by the Jalou. The new cell-phone from Sony Ericsson, its named derived from the French for "envy", was designed specifically with fashionistas in mind, packing a two-inch display, 3.2 megapixel camera that tags your photos with their geographic location, an FM radio tuner, stereo Bluetooth, and even a built-in mirror, all in a compact clamshell that's touted as shorter than a lip-stick.

The phone is styled to look like a piece of jewelry, and will be available in Deep Amethyst, Aquamarine and Onyx black. But for the truly fashion conscious, there's a special edition made in conjunction with Italian fashion super-house Dolce & Gabbana that upgrades with a special Sparkling Rose color and trimmed in 24-karat gold plating, and even comes with a special wireless headset to match.

Filed under: Apparel, Sports, Men's Style


Design duo Dolce & Gabbana has announced its latest designs for Italian football (soccer) team A.C. Milan for the upcoming 2009-2010 season. Dolce & Gabbana designed the team's official uniforms as well as the formal uniforms for the entire A.C. Milan Red and Black Club, as modeled by star players Gennaro Ivan Gattuso and Pato above. The team is traveling to the U.S. this month to compete against the Chelsea FC, Inter Milan, and Club America teams in matches taking place at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, and Gillette Stadium in Boston. "We are very happy to be able to once again link the name Dolce & Gabbana with A.C. Milan," state Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, "a team whose international prestige perfectly embodies our style and Italian excellence across the world." Milan have won a record 18 officially recognized international titles.

D&G Men's Swimwear

Filed under: Apparel

When it comes to swimwear from D&G, don't expect long lengths and Hawaiian flowers. If anything their line leans toward the shorter end of things. Black sleek material adorned with its signature label their choices span the range from brief (and I mean really brief) to mid-thigh trunks. A shy man should probably opt for Tommy Bahama or Theory if they hope bright colors and longer styles will improve their look -- Dolce and Gabbana is for the bold, the fit and the confident. Pick through the options in the gallery below to find your D&G swimwear style -- or if you're not of the male persuasion, just enjoy the gallery. (These are the D&G Square-Cut Trunks for $315)

Dolce & Gabbana Eel Pumps

Filed under: Shoes

I love to browse through fashion magazines to find outfits for work that are more stylish and exciting than the average pair of khakis and a button down shirt. But sometimes the featured outfits can seem too extravagant when it's filled with such eye popping and ultra stylish items - especially if your work environment is a far cry from any of the characters on Lipstick Jungle. But by taking one bold item, it can become the accent piece needed to uplift an all to common and lackluster outfit. Take for example these gorgeous painted eel skin pumps by Dolce & Gabbana. I love the strong touches of black throughout because it only compliments the painted eel skin. Pair them with virtually any blouse and wide leg black pants so the square toe just barely peeks out from underneath showing off its delicious caramel colored leather. A bold shoe that has long lasting appeal. Heel measurement: 4 1/2". Price: $550

Proceeds from the book benefit children's charity Butterfly Onlus Foundation.

'White Christmas' Inspired Bags, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags, Holiday Guides

white handbag
'Tis the season for blankets of snow and frosted branches, ski trips and furry boots, and new handbags to match the winter white theme. Whether you are shopping at Saks, Bergdorfs, Nordstroms, Neimans or Barneys there are clean, colorless clutches, totes and hobos to suit the season. Here are a few of my favorites inspired by the holiday tune, 'White Christmas' that are chic, sophisticated and frosty including the Nablak Vernice Tote from Prada pictured above.

Dolce & Gabbana One-of-A-Kind Men's Crocodile Bags

Filed under: Men's Style


Beginning this month, Italian design duo Dolce & Gabbana are debuting an incredibly luxurious collection of one-off crocodile bags for men as part of their Spring / Summer 2009 offerings. The collection is limited to 20 unique pieces worldwide, each costing about $50,000. The One-of-A-Kind collection "blends together the artisan leather tradition of Tuscany with Dolce & Gabbana's innovative use of precious materials," the company notes. Each piece is crafted out of "the finest mix of luxurious multi-colored crocodile skin in a unique and not-reproducible combination meant for those men who are looking for the ultimate object of desire." Inside each bag is an embroidered label reading "Limited Edition - Number 1 of 1." Last summer my colleague Rigel Celeste wrote about the women's version.

Micol Metallic Envelope Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

I like the idea of an envelope clutch, and at first this one appealed to me, but the more I look at it the uglier I think it is. It's the Micol Metallic Envelope Clutch by D&G and it's pretty much exactly what it sounds like -- a large leather envelope. It zips closed instead of folds over like a typical envelope, and from the pictures it looks like that ends up being a a little awkward. It has a leather pull with an attached silver padlock on the front, a contrast panel and dangling key bell on the back, and (perhaps the best part for me) the interior is lined in a pretty shade of pink silk. $695

D&G Designer Baby Bottles

Filed under: Children

I don't have babies of my own yet but I don't let that hamper my love of shopping for cute little outfits, miniature shoes, and everything else they sell in the infants department. I love going to baby showers and the next time I get an invite I think I already know what I want to shop for: one of these useful and stylish designer feeding bottles with matching cases by Dolce & Gabbana. They're not the usual cutesy colors and patterns, which is a breath of fresh air, and instead feature animal prints and simple logo-based patterns. Definitely a nice way to treat both mom and baby to some designer luxury. $70-$80

Luxury Living by the Sea

Filed under: Decor


A really great, oversized design book with beautifully-reproduced images can sometimes actually transport you to another place. Such is the case with a new volume titled New Seaside Interiors, edited by Angelika Taschen, which is anything but a mishmash of coastal clichés. Forget what you think you know about nautical décor; with examples of brilliant seaside design on all five continents, from Iceland to Chile, the architecture in this book harmonizes with the ocean in ways that go far beyond sprinkling a few seashells around the guest bath. From fashion designer Pierre Cardin's Bond villain-style floating house in St. Tropez to Dolce & Gabbana's eye-popping seaside villas in Italy, this is the né plus ultra of seaside style. See the gallery for more.
