Jessica Stroup and the Mystery Military Messenger Bag

Erika — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 08:37:39 +0000

Jessica Stroup was seen filming for “90210″ with co-star Michael Steger somewhere in LA on July 29th. I wish there were more pictures from a different angle because we can’t quite see the messenger bag she’s using.

These are the best from the set:

I have to admit I don’t watch “90210″ so I don’t know the character Jessica Stroup plays. For those who do follow the show, could you please explain what Jessica is wearing?

I see that the show’s stylists are trying to mix floral boho chic with the military trend. Does this have anything to do with her character? As a non-watcher, all I really see is a hodgepodge of unrelated clothes and accessories.

I’m going to separate Jessica Stroup’s messenger bag from everything else because by itself, it looks like it could be a really cool bag. Like I said in a previous post, I love beat up bags and military-inspired canvas bags like Jessica’s are one of the few things that look even better after being worn out.

As it’s difficult to identify Jessica Stroup’s bag with just these pictures, here are my 5 guesses as to which bag Jessica Stroup is carrying:

Fossil Men’s Octane E/W Messenger, $78.00
Fossil Men’s Voyager E/W Messenger, $88.00
Fossil Men’s Troop E/W Messenger, $78.00
Wabags Grant Messenger, $124.00
KAVU Slung Low, $79.00

Nearly all of ‘em from Fossil, nearly all of all men’s bags, and nearly all of them from eBags.com.

It’s a good idea to check out military messenger bags and more at eBags right now because they’re currently holding a Campus Style special.

Vanessa Hudgens Loves The Fringed Crossbody

So how much does Vanessa Hudgens love the fringed crossbody? Why don’t we let the pictures below speak for itself:

Miley Cyrus and that Gray Fur Messenger Bag

Okay, this is getting harder and harder to ignore.

We thought it was just a one time fluke, but Miley Cyrus is dead set on using that gray fur bag as much as she can. She debuted it the same day she wore that cobweb t-shirt so it took a backseat to that, but it looks like she really wants us to notice that gray fur bag. She’s been seen carrying it around about 3 times in a row now, and it feels like there’s no end in sight:

Miley Cyrus loves fur… on that dog and on that bag

(Yes, she’s also always seen carrying around that adorable puppy, but that needs a post entirely separate from this one. We’ll just focus on the gray fur bag for now.)

No one has ID’ed that bag yet and we haven’t found the designer responsible for this. The fur is fake and it looks really soft, we’ll give ‘em that one, but poor fashion choices like this made by a celeb who has real influence over young and not-so-young kids can result in disaster. This could mean a comeback of the 90s fur that we really don’t want to see again, possibly mixed with current 2010 trends like digiprints, military, and (dun dun dun) BRIGHT COLORS.

So if you see furry, fuzzy bags in eyeball-wrecking colors and prints crowding the shelves of your favorite stores in the near future, then you know who to blame.

It’s difficult to find a fur bag that doesn’t look childish but if we had to choose, it would probably be something similar to the Wabags Yvette Fur Handbag:

Although the chocolate fur is questionably somewhat green, the exquisite mango wooden handles and the leather straps let you know that this purse should be taken seriously. It’s also available in a cow patch pattern, but it looks too much like real cowhide that you almost expect the bag to look up and blink at you.

The part we like the most about this fur bag? You can use it as a handbag or a crossbody shoulder bag when you attach the adjustable strap.

The Wabags Yvette Fur Handbag retails for $155.00 but if you purchase it within the next 24 hours at eBags.com, you get 20% off of the listed price.

Britney Spears Goes Shopping in a Fringed Crossbody Bag

Roselle — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 03:13:42 +0000

Just recently spotted this January was Ms. Britney Spears, out and about shopping in Beverly Hills. And on her was this black fringed crossbody bag from CC Skye. The bag looks good, but unfortunately, I can’t say the same thing about Ms. Spears. I think it’s her dark hair, or maybe her hairstyle. It doesn’t flatter her face. I guess I prefer her blond wavy locks.

If you’re into the bag though, as mentioned earlier, this one is from CC Skye. CC Skye bags cost around US$300 to US$600. But for those on a tight budget, here are equally appealing alternatives below US$100:

Jessica Simpson Woodstock Hobo, US$83 at Zappos.com

Lucky Brand Foxy Lady, US$80 at Zappos.com

Wabags Texas Fringe Messenger, US$95 at Ebags.com
