Animal prints on bags seem to be in the vogue today. Well, we’re talking not about those wild leopard or zebra prints, but we’re talking about prints of animals like cats and birds. Now what we have here is the Gucci Joy Boston Bag with Snowman and Elephant Print, which is spotted being carried by Elle MacPherson.

The Gucci Joy Boston Bag with Snowman and Elephant Print is definitely whimsical and fun so it can surely add a hint of playfulness to any serious types of fashion and bring a refreshing change to it. Elle MacPherson comes in her all-black ensemble and having that coat kind of made her look so sophisticated; however, carrying such a Gucci bag with such an ensemble definitely brought fun to her entirety.

This Gucci Joy Boston Bag indeed features snowman and elephant prints throughout, which are seemingly dancing. Green leaves are also present, and if you are to look closely, Gucci GG prints are also all over this bag in a lighter tone.

This Gucci Joy Boston Bag with Snowman and Elephant Print is perfect for the spring and summer but it can as well work easily for the fall season so do not be surprised if Elle MacPherson will be carrying this bag in the next seasons. Buy this at Gucci online for $695.

We’ve seen signature Burberry check bag designs come with heart-shaped prints before, and now, what we have here are stars. Indeed, that’s what you can see on this Burberry Check Stars Satchel; and perhaps, this should somehow bring stellar glamour to your entire ensemble.

This Burberry Check Stars Satchel kind of looks casual, and I totally love that it comes in white shade since white is indeed trendy for this season of spring and summer. The classic check pattern is designed throughout this bag, and it’s trimmed with glossy white patent leather while the stars as well come in white prints for a more refreshing look.

Sized at about 10¾ x 7¾ x 5½ inches, this Burberry Check Stars Satchel can be carried either through the double top handles with 7-inch drop or through the detachable crossbody strap with 19 to 24 inches drop. Inside zip and open pockets would be revealed once you open the top zip closure.

This Burberry Check Stars Satchel then retails for $750 through Saks.

There are already a lot of Miss Sicily Tote from Dolce and Gabbana, and this Dolce and Gabbana Miss Sicily Metallic Leather Tote version is definitely one of the most luxurious and elegant looking. Well, all the Miss Sicily bags are actually luxurious and elegant, but the shade of this particular bag evidently shows it.

This is because this Dolce and Gabbana Miss Sicily Metallic Leather Tote is made from crinkled metallic leather, and such bronze shade certainly shows utter luxury. Like any other Miss Sicily bags though, this tote comes just simple and has no other designs aside from the gold and silver-tone logo plaque on the center front. That’s actually fine anyway since the somewhat structured silhouette of this bag alone already makes this truly luxurious looking.

This Dolce and Gabbana Miss Sicily Metallic Leather Tote then has a magnetic closure, which would show dual compartments inside for easy organization. This then has a short top handle and an optional shoulder strap for carrying option.

Invest on this forever-chic and luxurious Dolce and Gabbana Miss Sicily Metallic Leather Tote for $1,795 at Nordstrom.

This Bottega Veneta Woven Leather Framed Satchel is a yet another classic-sophisticated choice. While we’ve seen the brand venture on some non-woven designs these days, still, nothing beats the original. And again, you know that having such can surely lift your entire ensemble every time.

This Bottega Veneta Woven Leather Framed Satchel is indeed entirely designed with nothing but woven nappa leather material. While it looks a lot like any of Bottega Veneta’s signature designs, the framed top definitely makes this new. I totally dig bags with framing as I kind of find it more sophisticated and elegant looking, perhaps due to the fact that it creates a structured shape.

Aside from having a totally elegant and forever-chic design, this Bottega Veneta Woven Leather Framed Satchel is also very much functional with its dimension of 17¼ x 13 x 6½ inches, offering a really spacious interior with zipped and open pockets sitting on the inside suede lining. To finish, this then has double adjustable buckle handles with 5 to 8½ inches drop.

You can invest on this Bottega Veneta Woven Leather Framed Satchel for $3,550 at Saks.

The Hills stars Lo Bosworth and Stephanie Pratt were spotted out and about in the streets while chitchatting and gossiping… talk about their favorite hobby. Another favorite hobby they do is dressing really fabulous and carrying designer handbags.

Well actually, these two ladies are seen in just their casual outfits, yet these are the types of casual outfits that speak a lot. What’s more is that their bags are as well very much luxurious. These are the bags that we actually see mostly on celebrities so it isn’t surprising if these two stars have such as well. Lo Bosworth grounded her outfit with Christian Louboutin heels and finished her entire ensemble with a Balenciaga City Bag; while Stephanie Pratt chose to carry a Chanel Flap Shoulder Bag.

Both choices of bags are indeed found probably on every lady celebrity’s cabinet; and that shouldn’t really be questioned for the fact that the classic Chanel bag and the Balenciaga City bag are indeed versatile, trendy, fabulous and simply luxurious.

Nancy Gonzalez designs are very predictable unlike those from other designers, who keep their consumers exciting. Not that Nancy Gonzalez’ creations are unexciting, but if she continues to do what she does, I guess it would turn out as that. But then again, we can’t deny just how lovely and very elegant her designs are and you know that she gets all her fame from what she does best—designing clutches and bags from crocodile skin.

Her designs do not seem to have any hardware at all, just plain and simple in exotic material. Somehow though, how she styles it up and chooses the color is what makes her design appealing. Take for example this Nancy Gonzalez Shiny Frame Crocodile Clutch.

This clutch is very much Nancy Gonzalez. It is plain in Caiman fuscus crocodile material, which may already be boring, but coming in such a striking pop of pink color definitely speaks a lot. This looks so girly so it balances femme glamour with exotic toughness. This then has a hinged-frame top with magnetic closure, which would show the interior in suede lining and with a zip compartment to add space to its 4½ x 9 x 1 inches dimension.

You can have this Nancy Gonzalez Shiny Frame Crocodile Clutch through Bergdorf Goodman for $925.

Givenchy may really have those plain yet eccentrically-shaped bag designs, which have been adored by many celebrities and ordinary women alike; yet they also have those that come totally rare and oddly designed ones. We’ve only seen a few of the latter, and obviously, this Givenchy Embroidered Metal Chain Evening Bag is part of it.

This bag is undoubtedly unique, but though women sometimes tend to look for something that’s one of a kind, I still don’t think they would opt for this Givenchy Embroidered Metal Chain Evening Bag. There’s no doubt that this would be an eye-catcher, but the thing is, people could praise it or criticize it.

Fringes are indeed in the vogue and it makes one totally chic every time, but then again too much of it isn’t nice and what you’ll get is this Givenchy Embroidered Metal Chain Evening Bag. Moreover, instead of having just leather fringes, this bag is designed with metal chain fringes, plus the same metal chains are also embroidered throughout the entire bag, from the flap to the body and even on the handle. What’s worse is that the chains come in gold-tone color, so imagine the cheaply gilded look it shows to this 5 x 10 x 5 inches-sized bag.

Now if there are any of you who like this Givenchy Embroidered Metal Chain Evening Bag, you can have it for a totally hefty $3,670 at Barney’s.

Carey Mulligan isn’t really the popular type of celebrity that paparazzi love following around, but we can’t deny just how great she looks, especially while in casuals. Take for example this shot, where she’s spotted wearing a combination of cropped skinny jeans and plaid shirt.

While there’s really nothing so new or totally fashionable about her ensemble, the Prada Soft Calfskin Tote that she’s carrying manages to pull a sophisticatedly chic and elegant look to her entirety. Well, I guess such a bag is what you can call a must-have in every woman’s closet. Not only is it chic, it is also large, very neutral, and definitely luxurious. It may actually look plain, but you know that that’s what makes it more versatile and elegant looking.

Such a Prada bag can surely transform every look and lift every simple casual ensemble to statement luxe effortlessly. And so that leaves me wondering what other designer bags does Carey Mulligan have in her closet.

For the dog lovers out there, you’d surely find this Judith Leiber Romeo Dog Minaudiere very much interesting. I myself am a dog lover and I prefer those cute little pet puppies that can stay with me on the bed; thus, there’s no denying how much I am stunned with this minaudiere.

Judith Leiber indeed shows how animals can be used as accessory, and it’s definitely not by using their skins (talk about fur and exotic skins). This Judith Leiber Romeo Dog Minaudiere indeed looks stunning. It is shaped to form a dog, particularly a dachshund dog, where it also comes fully detailed from head to body. Like any other Leiber minaudieres, this is also entirely hand beaded with black and multicolored Austrian crystals, giving this a totally sparkling look. Even the fur of a dachshund is illustrated on this bag, which makes it even more interesting.

This Judith Leiber Romeo Dog Minaudiere measures about 5¾ x 8¾ x 3 inches. It has a framed push-lock closure, which would show enough space on the interior for your evening essentials.

Available now on pre-order, this Judith Leiber Romeo Dog Minaudiere is being offered for $5,795 at  Judith Leiber Site .

Work classic glamour to everyday look by simply carrying this Bottega Veneta Woven Pockets Shoulder Bag. This indeed looks casual and it definitely defines what Bottega Veneta is with its classic, refined and sophisticated look, though sans the signature over-all woven design.

This Bottega Veneta Woven Pockets Shoulder Bag is made from smooth nappa leather in brown, which indeed makes it very much a classic and undoubtedly versatile to be paired with other outfits. What makes it more of a Bottega Veneta design, despite coming in dominant plain smooth leather, is the woven leather effect on the exterior zip pockets with flap style and on the handles. Indeed, such woven design is the brand’s signature, which then adds more classic style to its entirety.

This Bottega Veneta Woven Pockets Shoulder Bag then measures about 14 x 11 x 5 inches. It has a top zip closure, which would then show the interior in nylon lining and with a zipper pocket. The woven handles then have adjustable buckles and 7 to 9-inch drop to hold.

This Bottega Veneta Woven Pockets Shoulder Bag definitely looks smart and chic. You know this would be timeless, so it’ll certainly make of a worthy investment for $2,300 via Saks.
