Lanvin Happy Medium Leather Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

lanvin navy handbag
Classic greets modern in this elegant handbag from Lanvin. An instant staple in any wardrobe the navy-blue leopard-print beckons to be worn with a suit to a luncheon or simply to make a great first impression on an unsuspecting suitor. High-class with a bit of fun, the Happy Medium Leather Shoulder Bag features a shoulder strap of two gold-tone chains intermixed with black patent leather and a black grosgrain ribbon with bow. The fold-over flap is secured with a twist-lock fastening at the front and the silk-lined interior with designer stamp is marked with a zipped pocket to finish the look for $1,775. Personally, I think navy-blue is a nice change from black with just as much versatility, don't you? (13" x 9" x 2" with 15" handle drop)

Luxist Guest Post: Poker Player Beth Shak's Favorite Las Vegas Spots

Filed under: Luxury Travel & Hotels

Poker player Beth Shak gives us her view of Las Vegas in this special guest post.

This year when I returned to the 2010 World Series of Poker for my 5th tournament, I was pleasantly surprised by the accommodations waiting for me. I decided to stay at the five-star Mandarin Oriental Hotel, which opened in December 2009. It is important to note that I did not stay in a suite, because the amenities were better than some of the nicer suites I've stayed in.

The Mandarin Oriental was beautiful and quiet; I didn't feel like I was in Las Vegas after leaving the World Series of Poker.

Highlights:
Push-of-a-button accommodations: the room is completely plugged in, including electronic curtains to hide the gorgeous, lit-up view when it's time to rest.
Amazing closet: This is not just a closet; it is more like a dressing room, completely separated from the actual room.
The bathroom: The bathroom has an entire make-up area, Bulgari products, gorgeous Eastern design and – get this – a flat iron. Nobody does that! I was beyond impressed.
Gamble-free. I was able to sit back and relax, and save the games for WSOP.
The best concierge, Joe: maybe he can move to the East Coast and be my assistant!

Lanvin Kansas Patent Tote, Handbag of the Day


Purple is popular this season, and this bag takes that hue just slightly to the blue side. It's a gorgeous color that really pops in patent leather. The thin strips of brown leather create a sharp-looking frame and the rather short rolled handles make for a nice fit under the arm. If you aren't looking for attention, you might want to skip this one. It's a look-at-me color on an oversized bag and carrying it will draw attention. The tote measures 16.5" x 17.5" x 5.5" and sells for $1995 at Barneys.
