Get More Value with a Convertible Handbag!

kate napleton on Aug 11, 2009 2:21 PM PDT

Handbags are my true weakness. Okay, and shoes, and accessories, okay FASHION. But handbags, I love. To get more mileage out of a bag purchase, I've been looking to buy one of the fall's convertible bags. You know, something that goes from shoulder to tote, or hobo to hip-slung with a quick switch of a strap. I love the color, texture and bohemian simplicity of the Kooba tied convertible hobo bag. And I feel like I could honestly carry this Foley + Corinna convertible small leather tote in red almost every day. It goes from shoulder to tote so flawlessly, and the scale is just adorable. Check out my slideshow for lots of other handbags that work hard for you!

After a refreshing first two months of summer sun, celebs and fashionistas alike are taking every opportunity to show off their sun-kissed shoulders, whether on the red carpet or just on a typical night out on the town.

Cold Feet? Try A Chilly Weather Wedding Wrap!

Amber Fijolek on Mar 18, 2009 1:24 PM PDT

The last thing you'll want on your wedding day is to be cold, so if you're tying the knot in fall, winter or spring, you may want a nice, warm compliment to your gown. It's true that you'll want to flaunt your lavishly conditioned skin and hot bod that you've been working on during your pre-nuptial planning, so your gown may be missing a few pieces here and there -- probably in vulnerable areas such as the neck, back and shoulders. Depending on how harsh your location will be, someone's thought of something to make the temperature of your big day an afterthought. In lace or feather, there's a shrug, wrap or jacket for any weather. See the slideshow for some of our favorite picks!

Travel Style: Carry-On Bags You Won't Want to Stow

Pauline Montupet on Aug 12, 2008 7:51 AM PDT

Celebs have made flying fashionable again with their designer luggage, oversize shades and even more oversized luggage. But now that some airlines are charging you for even your first checked bag, it might be time to start packing light and carrying on your luggage. One of my favorite carry on bags is the 22 Carry On Case by Le Sportsac. They have been making great carry on size bags for years, but really hit a fashionable note when they paired up with Stella McCartney; and now you can get her Spring/Summer collection for Le Sportsac for 50% percent off on there website! Not only does it look snappy, its convenient too; with a shoe compartment at the bottom, and 2 mesh pockets inside to store smaller items. This bag is big enough to fit everything you need and yet fits perfectly in the overhead, it wheels and handle keep you from breaking your back at those long gate changes, since unlike celebrities most of us don't have personal bag carriers! Check out the SLIDESHOW for other great carry on picks for your summer jaunts.
