Rolls-Royce Adds Girly Feature To New Concept Car

Catherine StrawnJune 3, 2009 //

We’re not sure whether to be insulted or overjoyed by Rolls-Royce’s new concept car. The 200EX features a backseat pop-out purse holder that senses when you put down a bag and holds it in place. We hate that the car company thinks women are all about handbags, but, you know what, we are. (In fact, we were just drooling over Marc by Marc Jacobs’ new bags.) It would be nice to be able to make sharp turns without have our handbag tumble to the floor, spewing tubes of lipstick everywhere. And, if you’re driving a Rolls, you probably have a super-nice purse that you’d want to preserve. Our bag on the other hand, cost $15 on eBay. [Luxuo] Keep reading »

The Keybag

Annika HarrisMay 4, 2009 //

Writing an email, text, or memoir aren’t the only things you can do with a keyboard. You can let one hold all your junk and accessorize your outfit. That is, if you have a Keybag designed by João Sabino. Each Keybag is made from 393 keys or key fragments arranged in a random, unique order so that it becomes its own communication vehicle. Available in red, pink, black, and white, no tech-savvy fashionista or writer should be without one. [JoaoSabino.pt via Fashion Indie] Keep reading »

Style On The Street: Across Marks The Spot

Catherine StrawnApril 5, 2009 //

Now that it’s getting a wee bit warmer, you can stop piling on layers of sweaters and coats and finally show the world the cute clothes you’ve got on underneath. We think spring is an excellent time to change purses, as well. While you probably wouldn’t want to wear a cross-body handbag over a puffy down jacket, they look especially good when paired with a button-down shirt and short skirts or a pair of shorts.

Crave: Sabina Whipstitch Leather Satchel

Annika HarrisMarch 26, 2009 //

We don’t carry less in the spring just because we’re wearing less, so we need a stylish bag to hold the whole kit and caboodle this season. The handy compartments and pockets in this satchel will keep us organized day into night. And the not-too-bright yellow will surprisingly go with quite a bit in our closet, as long as we treat it as a neutral. [$199, UrbanOutfitters.com] Keep reading »

Quickies!: Natasha Richardson’s Cause Of Death Revealed

Annika HarrisMarch 19, 2009 //
  • The New York City medical examiner has ruled Natasha Richardson’s death an accident. The report said she died from blunt impact trauma to the head, which caused internal brain bleeding. It’s so scary that something like this can happen and you don’t realize you’re seriously injured until it’s too late. [People]
  • Russell Brand definitely knows how to work his sex appeal. He tongued-down a girl in Sydney after knowing her for only a few minutes. [Dlisted]
  • Steve-O is waiting to hear whether he can return to “Dancing with the Stars” after pinching a nerve in his back during a horrible spill while rehearsing. He’s also experiencing internal bleeding after the nasty fall. [Perez Hilton]

    Crave: Liz Claiborne Broadway North/South Shopper

    Catherine StrawnMarch 19, 2009 //

    We’re trying to be good about bringing our lunch to work (to save money) and carry a reusable bag with us to the grocery store (to save the environment), but our current handbag just can’t keep up with us. The sign that we needed to upgrade came last Tuesday, when our strawberry yogurt tumbled out onto the sidewalk as we reached for our house keys. We’re pretty sure this slouchy leather bag from Liz Claiborne (surprised?) is going to change our life. Or at least give us enough space to carry everything plus the kitchen sink.

    Crave: Ivana Helsinki Scarves & Purses

    Leonora EpsteinSeptember 19, 2008 //

    For some, “handmade” conjures up images of poorly constructed crafts. For Ivana Helsinki, it means avant-garde prints from Finland. An oversized coin purse is adorned with a flock of birds. A silk scarf features hearts and daggers. [$84-$160, Beklina.com] Keep reading »

    Crave: Klein Canvas Tool Bag

    Annika HarrisAugust 13, 2008 //

    OK, so call us crazy, but this tool bag would make the chicest handbag because it has the same classic shape as some high-end purses, it’s just more unexpected. Made of rugged, durable canvas and moisture-resistant vinyl, this tool bag would make the perfect everyday purse because its natural and cognac colors go with pretty much everything. Although we’d caution against loading it up with non-essentials, because the steel-framed opening will add weight. We’d feel so chic wearing this with a floral summer dress.

    Our Bags Are Time Suckers

    Catherine StrawnJuly 1, 2008 //

    The average woman spends about four and a half minutes every day rummaging through her bag, according to a research by a company called Bagatidy. This comes out to about one full day a year spent searching through pens, loose papers, extra clothes, and whatever other crap you’re lugging around. We think this is entirely possible, given the contents of our bags:

  • Amelia’s bag: wallet, black umbrella, yellow cardigan, iPhone, keys, work ID, fake lavender Ray-Bans, two-week-old issue of New York magazine, promotional CD I got at a concert, mascara, four lip glosses, three pens, camera, copy of Breakfast At Tiffany’s (the book), various business cards, various loose pieces of paper, and loose change.
  • Catherine’s bag: wallet, red umbrella, black cardigan, phone, keys, camera, work ID, notebook, sunglasses case, two lip glosses, two lipsticks, one chapstick, datebook, pen, two pencils, iPod, and a USB drive.
