RSVP Anyssa Bridal Shoe; $75 at Zappos.com My ongoing hunt for the perfect bridal shoe is, admittedly, egocentric and totally obsessive. To relieve my guilt for putting so much weight on my shoes, I started researching traditions, superstititions, and the symbolism of shoes in weddings to help justify my quest. So after a little [...]

[click image to enlarge] Over the weeks we've managed to gather together some of the bags which divide opinion like no other. From the wacky Louis Vuittons and Fendi to the boring... zzzzz.... we've put the question to you week after week. And now the results are in. So will the final verdict be YAY or NAY?

I know we've featured Fuzzy Nation's bags before. And I know they're ridiculous. But I also really want that sausage dog. And I wouldn't say no to the pug either. (I would, however, draw the line at Paris Hilton's...

Okay, so the shoe situation is not entirely as the title of this post might indicate. However, this Seattle bride is currently wedding ceremony and reception dress shoeless, which you can imagine is a big deal for me. You see, dear readers, I am getting married at the end of August. Though I have browsed [...]

I’ve become some sort of a big fat snob regarding shoe brands. When you spend so much time with shoes or writing about shoes or thinking about shoes as I have, it’s inevitable. But rather than crave the high-end luxury brands everybody and their sister are coveting (Louboutin, Blahnik, Zanotti, the usual suspects), my lust [...]

This bag makes me think of Angelina Jolie, which suggests it's too sophisticated for me. I do think it would make a great summer work bag, though. Hand-crafted and fully lined, it costs just £25 from ALSO Home. Related: Handmade...

I have a sinking feeling about the shoes of this season, at least as far as posting about them goes. Because here’s the second week running where a number of the interesting shoes don’t seem to be available on Bluefly anymore. Take Suede’s fantabulous dress, which rocked the runway and deserved its win (well… wait till [...]

Ladies, what are your thoughts on the Chanel bulb shoe from the Paris-Londres 2007/2008 collection? Was this a lightbulb moment or did the lights simply go out? When asked about this creative heel, Karl Lagerfeld said “It’s a chic way to have your shoes shine – literally!” One thing is for sure. With the help of a [...]

Abi Silvester from Hippyshopper writes ... Ever wondered just how 'green' the longlife shopping bag you bought at the supermarket really is? Having asked myself the same question, I was encouraged to hear that unlike many fashion bags sold as 'green' items (including the Hindmarch bag itself) most of the shopping totes sold in supermarkets are now made under ethical and eco-friendly conditions.

It's testament to Matt & Nat's success in redifining the leather-free bag market in the past ten years that it now doesn't feel weird using the words 'vegan' and 'chic' in the same sentence anymore. In fact, most of their...

Within months of starting primary school I stole the only thing I've ever stolen in my life. It was a stack of multi-coloured felt squares. I had no idea what to do with them (and, in fact, never did do...

I'm constantly impressed by Big Buddha's bags. They manage to look sumptuous while being made from synthetic leather. But having just bought an actual leather bag that looked sumptuous on the web, but looks like plastic now it's in my...
