A Fashion Dictionary

The other day I was carrying my Rebecca Minkoff MAB bag and someone said,
"That is fabulous, what kind of bag is that? This is one hot bag!"
When I told her, she had never heard of Minkoff or the MAB Bag, but was clearly smitten.
So, I thought...I bet there are tons of women out there, seeing fabulous items all over the place and they have NO idea who designs them, where to get them, etc.
So, I thought...let's do something about that.

Every week, I will do a Fashion Dictionary...where I showcase some of the more trendy or classic pieces in fashion...so you know what you are looking at when you see it.


Today, we will start out with some of the classic bags you might see celebrities carrying, as well as others...

Louis Vuitton Speedy

This iconic bag is simple and to the point. It is LVs leading selling bag, and certainly a staple in many a woman's handbag wardrobe.

Hermes Birkin Bag

This bag is another icon, iconically expensive and hard to get...but most celebrities will have one hanging from their forearm...

Fendi Spy Bag

One of Fendi's best known bags, and a "IT" bag for sure. Folks were going GAGA over its soft leather and coin purse.

Chloe Paddington

Possibly my favorite bag ever made, and certainly the reason why the term "it" bag ever came into existence. That soft leather and those great colors...YUM!

Alexander Wang Rocco

A new kid on the block that has certainly gotten its share of attention...whether its the softest leather on earth or the bottom studs...
this bag packs a punch.

Rebecca Minkoff Morning After Bag

A fave among celebrities and bloggers alike...with its multitude of color and style options...piping to studs...this large and well made bag is a collectors item for sure!

Marc Jacobs Stam Bag

Redone, in quilted material, this starburst pattern, and a multitude of other styles, all in this beautiful shape with the chain shoulder strap...Marc Jacobs surely outdid himself on this one!

Govenchy Nightengale

A great bag...with lots of posh style.

Balenciaga Motorcycle Bag

The reason the term "it" bag stayed in American vernacular...this baby has been a classic since day one!

YSL Downtown Tote

It is downtown cool for sure, with its tote bag shape, that gorgeous leather, and the cool color and effect combos! Chic style 101!

Other bags to get familiar with: Louis Vuitton Manhattan, Gucci Boston Bag, Marc by Marc Jacobs Dr. Q Hillier Hobo, Rebecca Minkoff Market Tote, UYSL Muse, Fendi Baguette, Chloe Bay Bag...
