SANG A Metallic Laptop Case

Filed under: Handbags

laptop caseIt can be difficult to find a laptop bag that is stylish without being over the top or quirky. On the other end of the spectrum, laptop cases can also be too corporate, stale and lack flair.

Designer Sang A Im-Propp delivers a sleek Laptop Case ($1195) made with antique metallic lizard that carries a balance between elegantly chic and wearable. Sang's laptop case features a zippered closure, an external zippered pocket and a quilted lining for your computer's protection. Measurements: 15" W x 11" H x 1" D.

Yosi Samra Gladiator Sandals

Filed under: Shoes


Sandals are a definite summer staple. With a range of colors, playful designs and trendy accents to choose from, they're a welcomed alternative to flip flops and ballet flats. It's exciting when we come across a pair that is both fashionable and affordable; especially given the fact that sandals have a limited wear time. So I say, "Thank you Yosi Samra Sandals".

The designers behind Yosi Samra offer 3 different styles at only $98 – Studded Gladiator Flats, Cutout Flats and Studded T Flats. Each style is made of leather with a zippered back and gold accents on the heel topped off with intricate cut outs to create unique sandals that add an unexpected twist to your casual summer attire. My personal favorites are the one featured above - the Studded Gladiator Flats - which playfully uses geometric shapes to create cut outs that have a resemblance to spider webs, making them unforgettable. They're also available in a metallic champagne, which would look great against sun kissed skin and darker skin tones. View the gallery below for additional sandals.

Gunmetal Zuma Satchel, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

This is one of those bags that I both love and hate at the same time. I love that it's so slouchy and distressed, and I love the uniqueness of the knots in the design, but I hate that it looks like it was slopped together in some kind of emergency or something. It's the Zuma Satchel by Michael Kors, shown here in gunmetal, and there isn't much else to say about this one other than it has silvertone hardware, a double-zip top, and a hanging logo tag (which makes it look a little like luggage I think). $995

Michael Kors Skorpios Hobo, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


Everybody loves a good hobo bag, and this one by Michael Kors is no exception. Not sure why it's called "Skorpios" (I'm sure I'm missing something obvious so if you have an idea feel free to let me know in the comments) but it's an attractively simple bag, featuring a large ring that flops over the framed top on a braided leather strap and a matching single braided leather handle attached with smaller gold rings. $995

I'm thinking maybe the way the ring hangs over to the front of the bag is reminiscent of a scorpion's tail???

Emanuel Ungaro 'Very Hot' Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


This "Very Hot" Clutch by Emanuel Ungaro is extremely similar to his "Stamped Clutch" I covered earlier but in this case the little things are what make all the difference in the world. Like night and day the two bags give off completely different vibes, this one in silver metallic and matching hardware coming off as sleek without being pretentious and feminine without being frilly. It's oversized, which makes it come off a little more casual I think, and besides the detachable chain handle and divided interior compartments it has a bright fuschia lining. $1,220

Emilio Pucci Bean Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


No, it's not a space pod, it's the Bean Clutch by Emilio Pucci. I would say I love it except I know how I am about smooth shiny objects and frustrating smudges and fingerprint marks -- I'm personally better off with something in a glamorous matte finish. But if this clutch is your cup of tea more power to you (and I admit I'll be a little jealous). It's a hard-box clutch style with a silver tone frame and push-clasp closure. It opens on a hinge as you would expect (be careful not to let everything spill out!) and has the designers logo embossed on an interior as shiny as the exterior. $1,385

Stella McCartney's Metallic Fabric Tote, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


Metallics aren't usually my favorite but something about this Metallic Fabric Tote by Stella McCartney really caught my eye. It's a pretty burnished brass color that acts as a neutral as far as pairing it with outfits goes, and it has a little bit of a "structure forced to go casual" vibe about it that I really like. A wide beige strap ties around the center, decorated with geometrical resin details on the ends. It comes with a small purse chain and one zip pocket on the inside, plus an adjustable shoulder strap. $608

Fendi 8BR568, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

fendi 8BR568
This Fendi bag immediately caught my eye because of its tranquil color and unusual texture. It would certainly dress up any simple outfit, and would look especially great with black. The 8BR568, available in the blue shown here and the silver shown below, has a metallic laminated look with leather overlays. It has geometric perforations throughout, a zip-top closure, large metallic leather pull, logo fabric lining with two patch pockets and one snap closure patch pocket. Measurements: 15.75" x 12.5" x 5.5" with 22.5" double handles and a 10" drop. Made in Italy, comes with a Fendi pouch. Regular price, $2,530, but on sale now at Bagsbuy for $1,644.95.

Lockheart Zip It Alana Hobo, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Lockheart Zip It Alana HoboThe Lockheart Zip It Alana Hobo is secretly one of the trendiest bags we've seen this season, and yet it conveys effortless elegance. How did they manage this?

This purse follows not only the boxy, sturdy shape trend, the metallic trend, and the gathered leather trend, but it even has a rosette that doesn't appear too overly "springy." The secret to this mastery of style is balance -- the metallic hue and zipper trim keep the rosette looking utilitarian, and the sturdiness of the shape make the gathered leather appear natural and even graceful.

This modest,13½"W X 7"H X 5½"D hobo is adorned with a "twisted and knotted" shoulder strap, making it an easy purse to carry on a busy day -- but clearly this is a purse worthy of an cocktail dress or even a dance floor.

The Lockheart Zip It Alana Hobo is available from Saks Fifth Avenue for $540.

Metallic Soft Madonna Boston, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


Strappy, structured, and neutral, the Metallic Soft Madonna Boston Bag is one of those great-for-everyday bags. By Versace, it's made up of woven metallic grained leather with a quilted signature Greek key pattern. Bands with gold buckle hardware criss cross in every direction, accented by rolled leather handles, protective feet on the bottom, and zipper closure on the top. The interior is lined in satin and has a zip pocket. Logos are subtle but everywhere (on the front buckle and zipper pulls) so there will be no confusion as to your designer style. $4,395

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

Burberry Metallic Leather Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Flashy and catering to both the current metallics and military trends, this Burberry bag is sure to brighten up any outfit -- almost literally. The shiny silver acts as both a neutral in terms of coordinating with other colors but it also gives off its own glitz vibe and can be very useful for adding a shot of boldness to your ensemble.

Full of folds, straps, and ruching, this bag also features a twill lining and a large central zip-pocket on the inside separating two large compartments. Plenty of room for everything! $2,995

Roberto Cavalli Metallic Bracelet Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


Sparkly and golden, this handbag is sure to make you feel like a rockstar as you make your entrance at whatever event you take it to. It's the Metallic Bracelet Bag from Roberto Cavalli and it's really a two-for-one handbag and bracelet. It features gold metallic leather with a gold bangle bracelet that can either dangle off the bag or dangle on your wrist. It has a clasp closure on the top and a shiny leopard print lining. This is the kind of bag that will make you feel beautiful no matter what kind of day you're having! $1,165

Just Cavalli Metallic Nylon Backpack, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Backpacks are so handy but it can be really hard to find one that doesn't look too "schoolish." This Metallic Nylon Backpack by Just Cavalli fits the bill for me, though, with its casual floppy nature combined with a healthy dose of trendy metallic style and "flash" appeal. Strikes me as a great bag for the girl who likes to wear stiletto heels with her blue jeans. Made of woven nylon with snakeskin- printed leather trim, it has pockets galore (obviously, it is a backpack after all), a snakeskin-printed textile lining, and a magnetic closure at the top. $750

Tanner Krolle Starla Metallic Python Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

This Starla Metallic Python Clutch by Tanner Krolle is heavier looking than average spring/summer style usually calls for but I think it can still work for a warm weather outfit since bronze and golden tones are always (and especially) fashionable in the summer. Metallic python skin makes up the body of this clutch with soft-grained leather trim, brushed silver metal hardware, and whipstitch detailing rounding out the look. Closes with a snap and a leather loop on one end and has a leather lining (ooh la la!), measures 10.4" x 5.75" x 2". $1750
