I’ve resisted posting about this bag because I knew it was destined to show up in the sale section.. it was just a matter of time. I’m not calling this bag ugly, I actually think it’s rather lovely in this blush pink version as compared to its twin versions available in black or dark brown.

This last season art deco style bag appeared on the fall 2007 runway. So now that it’s mid-winter Barneys is making way for all the colorful new spring 2008 purses. Out with the old and in with the new. Which is great news for you MJ fans who don’t care if its last season’s style.

The stunning Monica Bellucci recently popped up on our “celebrities with designer handbags” radar sporting the daily essential Longchamp Expandable Leather Bag while on the set of her new movie ‘Ne te retourne pas’ in Lecce, Italy over the weekend.

The Gorgeous Italian actress/model was the recent covergirl for French jeweler and watchmaker Cartier and also for luxury designer house Dior.

The bag she is carrying is Longchamp’s new simple expandable, a great daily purse. It features a soft pebbled leather body with stud silver accents and the duo side zippers even allow for additional room – just zip down for some extra breathing room. The color she is carrying is called Fox brown and unfortunately I couldn’t locate that bag online (try calling Lonchamp 888.828.8081). However, saks has the lovely white version available.

While doing my daily net browsing, I spotted this newbie on the Coach website, the Resort Turn lock Tote. From a distance on the new items page, this specific bag caught my attention. Why? Well, I was curious; I had to know what type of adornments Coach placed on this one bag of theirs. Upon enlarging the page and reviewing the description of the tote, I learned that the body of the bag is made out of metallic leather (nice), legacy striped fabric lining (sweet), a 13 ¾ inch length by a 14 ½ inch height (big), a $698 price tag (nay), and a whole lot of multicolored brass turn lock closures applied onto the body of the bag (shocked ). I believe adding substances onto an item can really enhance its appearance, but then again, too much application can really hurt an item as well. Would you call this brass application a clever or an unwise decision by Coach? Is mixing metals stylish? Personally, I would prefer a solid metallic leather Coach bag over this one bag. Second of all, I can’t really think of what I would wear with this bag! So what do you all think? Yay or Nay?
