The Best of the Best Bag at eBags.com

Erika — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 16:31:45 +0000

What’s been voted as the “Best of the Best” bag at eBags.com? Like what I said about the eBags Piazza Day Bag, is it even a surprise that the best bag out of all the bags is a cross body?

EBags’ Best of the Best bag is the Big Zipper Bagg from Bagallini:

Bagallini Big Zipper Bagg

Don’t be fooled by its spartan appearance because this bag is the perfect mix of form and function. The numerous zippered compartments on this bag keep your things secure, help you stay organized and look good while doing it. The crinkle nylon material that the bag is made out of is tasteful and is also waterproof. The 52″-long shoulder strap lets you fashionably wear the bag as a cross body and keeps you comfortable while you carry it.

Check out what 3 people out of the 195 who have bought and reviewed the Bagallini Big Zipper Bagg have to say about it:

“This is a great bag. Most important are the zippers, which do not jam, and have big handles that are easily found and opened…” - Diana from Staten Island, NY

“Went from a larger bag to this due to all the organization! Easy to find what I need quickly… everything fits, everything has a home and I never lose things at the bottom of the bag due to the individual pockets & zippers. I’m buying another one in a different color for spring!” - Colleen from Everett, WA

“Just got back from vacation using this bag for the first time. I’m very hard on purses – this stood up to the wear of traveling and still looks brand new! Comfortable to wear even though it was stuffed to the gills… it holds more than it looks like it would. I will use it for my daily bag.” – Alice from Ottumwa, IA

Personally, I think this IS a great choice for a daily bag. Plus it has 10 colors to choose from. You got the basic neutral colors and a couple of bright ones for spring:

Top row: Bagallini Big Zipper Bagg in Black, Dark Olive, Espresso, Khaki, Leaf Green Bottom Row: Mushroom, Pewter, Steel Blue, Tomato, Navy

Do you think this bag deserves to be called the best of the best or do you have something else in mind?

The Bagallini Big Zipper Bagg is $54.95 but is now on sale for $49.99.

Ashley Olsen’s Crossbody Style

Roselle — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 07:00:40 +0000

Here’s a picture of Ashley Olsen taken just recently.

Ashley Olsen (NYC)

She was spotted leaving Generra in a very casual outfit, save for the lovely pair of high heeled platform sandals on her feet. Both her sweater and shorts were oversized. Thanks to the leather jacket she tied around her waist, the outfit didn’t look as big. To cap off her outfit, she chose a black crossbody as companion for the day.

All in all, though I do not entirely approve of the whole oversized clothing, she carried the outfit pretty well. I think her shoes did the trick. It elevated her casual look and created some balance, negating a bit of the outfit’s “frumpiness”.

If you like this Ashley Olsen style, you can make it your own by borrowing your boyfriend’s sweater for that oversized look, but do scrunch up the sleeves to your elbows.

IZOD Solid V Neck Sweater, on sale for only US$15 (6pm.com)

Also, be sure to wear a pair of good fitting shorts instead of Ashley’s loose ones.

And of course, never forget to wear a pair of sexy heeled platform sandals.

DSQUARED2 Strappy Elastic Band Sandals, US$554

Last but not least, finish it with a nice black crossbody like the ones below:

Isla Fisher: Mommy in a Studded Crossbody

Roselle — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 07:00:24 +0000

Here’s a picture of Isla Fisher and her daughter Olive Cohen.

Isla Fisher and Olive Cohen (April 1, 2010)

The Confessions of a Shopaholic star was spotted taking her baby girl to a ballet class in LA, last April 1st.

Though we may not see any resemblance of the Shopaholic fashionista in Isla (save her face, of course), the celebrity mommy sure does know a thing or two about choosing the right shoes and purse to wear.

I love the toe ring gladiator sandals on her feet. It elevates her mommy look a few notches up and gives it a sexier appeal. Of course, forgetting to strap one on is a sign of just how busy this mommy is.

It is just as well that she is wearing a crossbody purse to go with the outfit. We all know crossbody purses are ideal for busy mommies because it frees both hands to do other things; kind of like, using the baby carrier or baby sling.

I like how she chose to wear a studded piece; it adds spunk to her ordinary look. The size is also just perfect for her tiny 5’3” frame; and the neutral coloring makes it versatile enough to be paired with other outfits.

If you like Isla Fisher’s studded crossbody style, here are great studded options for you to choose from:

Rafe Michelle Small Crossbody, US$350 (Ebags.com)

B. Makowsky Olympia Crossbody, on sale for US$97 (Zappos.com)

Volcom Hear Throb Purse, US$32 (Zappos.com)

Cole Haan Britney Mini Crossbody, US$198 (Zappos.com)

6 Fossil Cross Body Bags For Crossin’ Over to Spring

Erika — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 16:44:42 +0000

I love shopping for bags at eBags.com because they always have special features on their current handbag stocks. The features save you time when you’re searching for something specific and they also show you the other bags on other parts of the website where you wouldn’t normally look.

Today, their feature is on “Pretty Prints and Lightweight Fabrics”. The feature not only directs you to fabric handbags but also lists the cutest colorful prints that are just the thing for spring. How’s that for a topic-specific search engine?

I’ve gone ahead and picked out the cross body styles from the lot. There are many beautiful designs on there but I found myself drawn to the bag designs from Fossil. I think Fossil has done a really good job on their spring collection and all the prints they’ve created and the colors they’ve chosen are attractive and soothing to the eye.

So without further ado, here are 6 Fossil bags in cross body styles to help your wardrobe cross over to spring:

Fossil Camden Top Zip, $88.00. This one is the tomato color.

Fossil Marlow Large Top Zip, $88.00. The print on this bag can lighten your mood.

Fossil Capri Crossbody,$78.00. This is a little smaller than the first two (maybe that’s why it’s cheaper), but how much more springtime can you get than butterflies?

Fossil Camden Crossbody, $78.00. Similar to the first bag on this list except this one has an extra zipper on the side.

Fossil Talita Crossbody, $78.00. Don’t like butterflies? How about birds?

Fossil Marlow Small Crossbody, $58.00. Looks small but this holds a lot. Just the right size to keep you organized.

Orlando Bloom Wears a Scarf and a Messenger

Roselle — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 07:00:48 +0000

Lord of the Rings star Orlando Bloom was spotted arriving in LAX last March 19 after a flight from New York.

Tell me what you think of his attire:

Orlando Bloom (March 19)

(photo care of Just Jared)

Personally, I think the outfit is very loungy, like he just came from the house and didn’t bother to change. I guess he likes traveling comfy. But honestly, don’t you think he could have done better? I mean, I’m sure there are more presentable comfy clothes out there than a pullover and lounge pants.

I do love the goatie and mustache though, it’s very sexy.

Now as for that scarf around his neck, I have mixed emotions about it. Not many men wear scarves, and when they do, it is usually the thick and more masculine-looking kind. Orly’s scarf on the other hand, is quite thin. Maybe he just borrowed it from his girlfriend. Nonetheless, it seems to go with the whole outfit he’s wearing.

As for the bag, it looks like Orlando likes traveling in a messenger. And I think with this one he made the right choice. On him is a canvas messenger with leather trim, just the perfect piece to pair with casual outfits.

A canvas messenger bag is very versatile and is considered an all-around man-bag by most guys. It can be used for school, traveling, work (if the dress code permits), and going to the beach. Even Brad Pitt is a fan of canvas messenger bags (click here to read articles on Brad Pitt and his messenger bags).

If your husband or boyfriend is in the market for a canvas messenger bag, ask him to check out the following:

Bedstu Sobel, US$94

Bedstu Hawkeye, US$64

The Drawstring Bucket Bag is Back!

Roselle — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 07:00:12 +0000

Ladies, the drawstring bucket bag is back! And why not? It’s the best accessory to tote around this season, especially if you’re off to the beach.

Take a hint from Alexander Wang’s Diego Bucket Bag for spring. This one sold out so fast some of us didn’t even notice it was released. Just by looking at its luxurious leather material and beautiful detailing is already enough to explain why this bag sold out like it was just a dollar.

Alexander Wang Diego Bucket Bag (S2010), US$825

The Alexander Wang Diego Bucket Bag retails for US$825. You may try shopping for it via Shopbop.com, that is, if they still have it in stock.

In the meantime, if you’re not up to spending US$800++ on a drawstring bucket bag, we have some good affordable alternatives for you ranging from a low US$59 to a mid US$398. That means there’s one for every budget so enjoy shopping!

The Sak Spirited Small Drawstring, US$59

Charlize Theron is Perfection in Paris

Erika — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 17:59:29 +0000

We’ve always known Charlize Theron as a statuesque classic Hollywood beauty, but I was still completely blown away by how stunning she looks in these pictures:

These were taken last March 2 while Charlize Theron was at the airport in Paris waiting for her luggage. Which took an hour to arrive. After a long flight. That was delayed for two hours.

After an ordeal like that, who’s got the time look this good? Apparently, Charlize does. Not only did she wait patiently with the rest of her fellow travelers (sans the famous celeb attitude), but she also still found humor in the whole situation and actually laughed when their luggage finally arrived.

Charlize Theron is just absolute perfection in these pictures. The trench coat, the super skinny jeans, the high-heeled pumps, the dark sunglasses, and that bag – everything is just perfect! She looks just like the A-list celeb that she is. Other lesser celebs or even her equals could learn a thing or two about candid paparazzi shots from her.

Anyway, I specifically chose the pictures above because they focused on the exquisite bag that Charlize is carrying. Still haven’t ID’ed it, but that’s not stopping a search for a lookalike!

Here are buckle bags that are also made of soft, supple distressed leather in our favorite style – the cross body:

The Sak Silverlake Leather Flap, now only $159.20

Fossil Milo Crossbody, $118.00

Fossil Milo East West Crossbody, $98.00
