Marc Jacobs Casey Quilted Bag
Marc Jacobs always makes beautiful handbags from season to season, and for the 2009 Resort collection he did not disappoint. One of the handbags in the Marc Jacobs 2009 Resort Collection is the Casey Quilted Bag and I love it so much! I’m probably drooling over this handbag because it comes in Fuchsia, I pretty much love any handbag that comes in pink, but the black is also fabulous too. My absolute favorite part of this bag is the leather belt that wraps around the back to the front of the handbag. To me the belt is what can make this handbag pop out in a crowd. It’s not everyday that you see a belt wrapped around a handbag, and the belt gives the handbag that extra pinch of fabulous-ness. The push lock on the bottom of the bag in Nordstrom’s words, “Provides a touch of charming whimsy” and I couldn’t agree more. I think it’s super cute and definitely ads a little bit of cuteness to the bag. Another added bonus to the handbag is that it is actually quite roomy. The Casey Quilted Bag has a width of 15 1/2 inches and a height of 15 inches, pretty roomy for a handbag but would we expect anything less for a high-priced handbag?

The Marc Jacobs Quilted Bag is priced at $1,295 which is pretty normal for a Marc Jacobs handbag. Although, with goatskin leather and the handbag being made in Italy, the price comes as no shock. My favorite is the Fuchsia, but the black is also very tempting. Beautiful, but expensive.

3.1 Phillip Lim Erego Clutch
What little girl didn’t fantasize about her very own pony? Mine would have been a chestnut brown one with a white strip down his face. And, of course, I would have rode him every day. As a grown up though, we tend to fantasize about owning other things — like handbags. So instead of a pony, how about a pony (calf) hair handbag? I, personally, have mixed feelings about pony hair handbags. If done right, it can actually look pretty cool. But if it’s not done right, then it can be a total fashion disaster. So how about this 3.1 Phillip Lim Erego Clutch? It consists of Camel calf hair and Black leather trim. I actually find the color combo very interesting, although I don’t know if I could actually pull it off. I also like the hardware, I think it adds a really cool antique-ish touch. However, I don’t think that this little clutch is worth what it says on its price tag. Maybe this is one of those bags that needs to go on sale first before I would consider buying it.

The 3.1 Phillip Lim Erego Clutch is available in Camel/Black. It is a little smaller in size, measuring 10″ x 7″ x 2″. It has a zip-top closure and two interior pockets. Find it for $451 over at Pink Mascara.
