MICHAEL KORS HAS THE EXOTIC CLUTCHES COVERED!

If you're looking for a spring clutch that will grab everyone's attention, check out Michael Kors' Spring Collection. What really caught my attention were the beautiful exotic clutches in bold, beautiful colors. Talk about gorgeous! The clutches are accentuated with watchbands, chains, and other forms of hardware-- they are totally unique!



My favorite is this multi-colored Rehearsal Python Clutch-- you can wear it with just about anything!


How cute is this lime Alligator Watch Band Clutch? I love the idea of using a watchband for the embellishment on the front-- very clever!



The hinge detailing gives this Beverly Hinge Clutch a uniqueness of its own-- this clutch is both stylish and classy!

LOUIS VUITTON'S GOT A WATERPROOF BAG FOR YOU



Finally, someone has come up with a way to keep a leather bag from losing its beauty from water stains!

This
Louis Vuitton Waterproof Keepall bag has been designed to sustain any possibility of water damage, and when closed, will even provide a barrier against water entering it if it is submerged completely in water. I don't know why this would be necessary, but I guess this feature would come in handy if you were planning to scuba dive with it strapped on, or if it fell overboard while leaning against the railing of a ship or something!

The bag sells at a retail price of $2,030 when purchased directly from Louis Vuitton's
e-store.

BEAUTIFUL HANDBAG STYLES FOR SPRING


Even though we're still in the midst of winter, who says we can't look at spring accessories now? Lot's of gorgeous styles will be available, from what I've seen so far.

I love the
Valentino Blossom Rose bag, pictured above. It has such a delicate look!

This
Prada Woven shopper is perfect for the office, and also works on a Saturday out on the town as well!


This stylish Dior Gipsy Ruffle leather bag and a pair of jeans works for me!


This beautiful printed Soft Lady Dior Canvas Bag is the perfect vacation companion!

Hurry up, spring!

NOW THAT NY FASHION WEEK'S OVER, IT'S ON TO THE GRAMMY'S!

Now here's a party that you don't want to miss if you're in the music biz-- Clive Davis' Pre-Grammy Party at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. Looks like Clive has all of my favorite performers at his soiree!

Whitney Houston looks stunning in the photo above. I sure hope she's doing better because we need to get this diva back on the scene quick. We are in need of some real talent again!

Janet Jackson and Alicia Keyes were there as well. Alicia's current CD is really hot!!!

American Idol Winner Fantasia looks great here. Sometimes her fashion choices aren't the best, but apparently she knows when she needs to step it up!

The Queen of Soul-- well, she can look whatever way she wants because she will forever be the queen as far as I'm concerned!!!

ROBIN ROBERTS TAKES A COURAGEOUS STRUT DOWN THE RUNWAY AT ISAAC MIZRAHI'S SHOW


Wow, this is such an inspirational story for cancer survivors (actually for all people in general), that I felt I needed to share it!

A bald Robin Roberts braved the catwalk today at Isaac Mizrahi's runway show, live from New York Fashion Week. Her fellow "Good Morning America" anchors dared Robin to do it. What they didn't know is that Robin would decide to shed her wig.

Robin looked fabulous strutting down the runway bald, in a brick-red sequin dress from Isaac's Fall '08 collection.

PREGNANT J-LO MAKES APPEARANCE AT NY FASHION WEEK

A very pregnant J-Lo managed to make it out for the Marchesa Show yesterday. From the looks of it, she's getting ready to deliver real soon!

The only advice I have for her is to start wearing lower heeled shoes-- I see leg and back problems on the way. Not to mention the risk of falling-- hope that doesn't happen, but speaking from experience, it's possible!!!

GORGEOUS HANDBAGS, JUST IN TIME FOR VALENTINE'S DAY!


I love this time of year. Love is in the air, the color red is present (my favorite!) and it's the perfect excuse for buying a new bag!

Check out these beautiful handbags and clutches that have arrived on the scene, just in time for Valentine's Day. So instead of hinting to your significant other that you could use another diamond bracelet or ring (although that's not a bad thing!), why not hint that you would like an adorable bag instead?

Let's be honest here-- the kind of bag you would want as a gift would probably not be one that you would be willing to pay for yourself! The styles shown below are timeless-- they will not go out of style!


This Leiber Minaudiere is definitely red carpet material!

This patent leather Valentino Clutch is both elegant and classy-- I love the vintage style!

What else can I say about this Leiber Clutch, except that it is just a beautiful, gorgeous work of art, a collector's edition. At a retail price of $4,495, this bag would be considered more as an investment than just an impulse buy!

These bags are all just "love"-ly!!!

BABY PHAT IS WHERE THE REAL PARTY IS DURING NY FASHION WEEK



Here's a little something for the Baby Phat fans! Check out what was happening backstage before the Baby Phat show at NY Fashion Week (courtesy of NY Mag).

One thing I can say about Kimora is that she really knows how to work it out on the fashion scene, whether it be modeling or running her own empire-- talk about being savvy!

LET'S GET AWAY FROM HANDBAGS FOR A MINUTE...DID YOU GET OUT AND VOTE?

On a serious note, please don't forget to vote-- let's all take a stand and help to make a difference in our country! Who you choose to vote for is your business-- just do it!!!

I did my part today and cast my ballot in the California Primary. It actually felt good placing that "I Voted" sticker on my jacket afterwards. Can't wait to find out the outcome of this election... it'll definitely be interesting!

RIHANNA & FERGIE: THE NEW HANDBAG GALS... TOGETHER!

At least in the photo (courtesy of In Style), they're together! Both girls attended Max Azria's show on Day 4 of New York's Fashion Week.

These girls are serious about putting themselves out there on the fashion scene. In two of my previous posts, I mentioned that both Rihanna and Fergie are moving into the handbag arena.

Both girls are hot right now-- but can they sell handbags? We'll see!
