It certainly doesn't look like it costs &lt;strong&gt;$625&lt;/strong&gt;. The luxe python-embossed exterior (done in a gorgeous and subdued neutral hue) gives the appearance of costing thousands, not hundreds of dollars. The softly pleated design and gold-tone top handle accented shoulder strap only add to the understated elegance of bag. The interior is spacious and practical measuring 17.5 x 13.5 x 6 and offers several interior pockets for better organization. If you've been searching for an expensive-looking bag on a working gals budget, this is definitely the bag for you.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;CC Skye Turner Python-Embossed Leather Hobo available via &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www1.bloomingdales.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=468614&amp;amp;CategoryID=16958&amp;amp;LinkType=PDPZ1"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;bloomingdales.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7916148221476854632-1726272117597974283?l=www.onabudget.senoracartera.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.onabudget.senoracartera.com/2010/03/cc-skye-turner-python-embossed-leather.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Dania Padron)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KQ9wdKWm-s8/S5FsYOI-GwI/AAAAAAAAJW8/MAlL1u4cjys/s72-c/CC+Skye+Turner+Python-Embossed+Hobo.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916148221476854632.post-4703119065347026866</guid><pubDate>Fri, 26 Feb 2010 00:25:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-02-25T20:25:14.955-05:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>handbags</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>totes</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>$100-$299</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Coach</category><title>Color Me Spring</title><description>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;I am a college student on a budget, a fashionista who dreams of owning a designer handbag. So when I got a check from an insurance settlement, I set out on a mission. I wanted to find a great designer handbag on a $200 budget. I shopped for days. I examined Gianni Binni bags, Dooney &amp;amp; Bourke, Jessica Simpson, Coach and more. I finally purchased this bag, and have no regrets!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_i9LvRXFAwg8/S4cTO4-ooJI/AAAAAAAABJI/vLqE9v4nDg4/s1600-h/180.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_i9LvRXFAwg8/S4cTO4-ooJI/AAAAAAAABJI/vLqE9v4nDg4/s640/180.JPG" width="387" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;[image via &lt;/i&gt;&lt;a href="http://stylemyhappiness.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Style My Happiness&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt;]&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;It's a Coach tote from the new Poppy Series. It's big, comfortable and colorful. Perfect for spring! I love large purses, and since I carry practically my whole entire life in my purses, &amp;nbsp;this bag fits the bill perfectly! I have received so many compliments on my bag since I bought it! I am quite proud of myself for stepping outside the box and buying a colorful bag. I tend to stick to black or neutral colored handbags since I find they go with more of my outfits. I was surprised&amp;nbsp;that&amp;nbsp;this bag also &amp;nbsp;goes with all of my outfits! I bought this purse at my local&amp;nbsp;Dillard's&amp;nbsp;for only $140 [On sale from $190].&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;So, click &lt;a href="http://www.coach.com/"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt; to visit the Coach website and see if there is something for you!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;xoxo,&lt;br /&gt;LenkaLovee&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7916148221476854632-4703119065347026866?l=www.onabudget.senoracartera.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.onabudget.senoracartera.com/2010/02/color-me-spring.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Yelena)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_i9LvRXFAwg8/S4cTO4-ooJI/AAAAAAAABJI/vLqE9v4nDg4/s72-c/180.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916148221476854632.post-799450889562381539</guid><pubDate>Fri, 05 Feb 2010 20:59:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-02-05T15:59:35.687-05:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>handbags</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>messenger bags</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>$100-$299</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>See by Chloé</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>crossbody bags</category><title>See by Chloé Cherry Mini Crossbody Bag</title><description>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KQ9wdKWm-s8/S2x-X-YrnvI/AAAAAAAAJM8/NYNxFQm2Ogw/s1600-h/See+by+Chlo%C3%A9+Cherry+Crossbody+Bag.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="375" kt="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KQ9wdKWm-s8/S2x-X-YrnvI/AAAAAAAAJM8/NYNxFQm2Ogw/s400/See+by+Chlo%C3%A9+Cherry+Crossbody+Bag.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Hannah MacGibbon, Chloé's creative director, is one of&amp;nbsp;my favorite designers. Her creations and those of the talented design&amp;nbsp;staff that currently reside at Chloé have been churning out some rather impressive designs for the moderately-priced See by Chloé line. The S/S 2010 collection is a vast improvement over their first offerings, and the chic &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: #660000;"&gt;Cherry Mini Crossbody Bag&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; is a great example of just how stylish the new crop of SbC bags truly are. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The crossbody/messenger bag is the bag style to have for spring. If you're not into large bags and want something roomy enough to put a few personal essentials inside, this bag might be just what you're looking for. The shimmery &lt;em&gt;black&lt;/em&gt; metallic leather exterior is subtle enough to work both day and night, and the decorative tassel on the front of the pouch-like bag adds a touch of whimsy to a utilitarian style like the crossbody. The 6.5 x 6 x 4.5&amp;nbsp;dimensions might seem too small to prove functional, but think again. You can snugly fit a small wallet, compact, fold-up hair brush, lipstick, keys and slim cellphone inside, and edited contents like that are exactly what women-on-the-go are opting to carry nowadays. Since we're always concerned with finding our readers budget-friendly bags, the See by Chloé Cherry Mini Crossbody Bag is priced at &lt;strong&gt;$295&lt;/strong&gt;. So, ladies, feel free to jump on the crossbody bag bandwagon since it's one trend that won't actually break the bank.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;See by Chloé Cherry Mini Crossbody Bag available via &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524446249666&amp;amp;FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=282574492713547&amp;amp;bmUID=1265400549874&amp;amp;ev19=2:17"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;saks.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7916148221476854632-799450889562381539?l=www.onabudget.senoracartera.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.onabudget.senoracartera.com/2010/02/see-by-chloe-cherry-mini-crossbody-bag.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Dania Padron)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KQ9wdKWm-s8/S2x-X-YrnvI/AAAAAAAAJM8/NYNxFQm2Ogw/s72-c/See+by+Chlo%C3%A9+Cherry+Crossbody+Bag.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916148221476854632.post-6912349105596891026</guid><pubDate>Wed, 27 Jan 2010 21:47:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-02-25T20:59:29.048-05:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>handbags</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>clutches</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Tory Burch</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>$300-$499</category><title>Tory Burch Relaxed Frame Clutch</title><description>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KQ9wdKWm-s8/S2C0qjNr-qI/AAAAAAAAJJ0/ucJjSBEiTOs/s1600-h/Tory+Burch+Relaxed+Frame+Clutch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="196" mt="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KQ9wdKWm-s8/S2C0qjNr-qI/AAAAAAAAJJ0/ucJjSBEiTOs/s400/Tory+Burch+Relaxed+Frame+Clutch.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KQ9wdKWm-s8/S2C0zuemFwI/AAAAAAAAJJ8/NVFJBPN7Tx8/s1600-h/Tory+Burch+Spriong+2010.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" mt="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KQ9wdKWm-s8/S2C0zuemFwI/AAAAAAAAJJ8/NVFJBPN7Tx8/s320/Tory+Burch+Spriong+2010.jpg" width="214" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;This clutch should become a part of every woman's bag collection. The simple framed design with whipstitch detailing and gold-tone closure will work any time of day. The two colors available, &lt;em&gt;branch brown&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;purple&lt;/em&gt;, are sedate enough to appeal to almost anyone. I hope they come up with a black and red version for fall to make us budget-conscious shoppers happy. The clutch measures a roomy 13 x 7.5 x 2 and has several interior pockets to keep your essentials well-organized. I know suede is not for everyone, but this bag almost looks and feels like regular leather. The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: #660000;"&gt;Tory Burch Relaxed Frame Clutch&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, priced at &lt;strong&gt;$395&lt;/strong&gt;, is now available for pre-order at &lt;a href="http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/catalog/prod.jhtml?itemId=prod98070094&amp;amp;parentId=cat13030735&amp;amp;masterId=cat000141&amp;amp;index=701&amp;amp;cmCat=cat000000cat000141cat13030735"&gt;neimanmarcus.com&lt;/a&gt;.

Ask Monica Botkier and her design team. They've managed to crank out design after design, all with the same edgy yet classic vibe. The Noa Tote is my favorite from their current collection. While the comfortable top handles remind me of the Chloé Paraty, the front zippered pockets with tassel pulls are all Botkier. Botkier has the young, urban aesthetic down to an art form. In fact, they seem to improve season after season with not a dud of a design in sight. That, ladies, is a nearly impossible feat to achieve in the designer handbag world. Be sure that the 'Noa' is not only chic but also quite practical with a roomy 13 x 18 x 3 interior and plenty of storage options. Antiqued nickel hardware and a magnetic snap closure round out the bag's features. &lt;a href="http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/catalog/prod.jhtml?itemId=prod92550043&amp;amp;parentId=cat13030738&amp;amp;masterId=cat14210731&amp;amp;index=18&amp;amp;cmCat=cat000000cat000141cat14210731cat13030738"&gt;Neimanmarcus.com&lt;/a&gt; has the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: #990000;"&gt;Botkier Noa Tote&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; available for &lt;strong&gt;$575&lt;/strong&gt; in &lt;em&gt;black&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;coral&lt;/em&gt;, but I prefer the coral for something with more color to it.

Although the tote is far more expensive than the clutch version (pictured), the clutch was still outside our price cut-off. Now &lt;a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/48786#"&gt;Net-A-Porter&lt;/a&gt; has placed the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: #990000;"&gt;Marni Wave Clutch&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; on sale from the original $865 price tag to a more affordable &lt;strong&gt;$519&lt;/strong&gt;. The white leather exterior and black contrast piping accentuate the clutch's geometric shape beautifully. The bag is over-sized and measures a generous 14 x 7 x 6. It has a gold-tone twistlock closure as well as dual zip top fasteners. Nothing is falling out of this clutch.&amp;nbsp;The 'Wave'&amp;nbsp;is an ideal day-to-evening bag for any time of the year. Brighten up a dark winter coat with this lovely clutch or save it for spring and use it to dress up a maxi dress and light cardigan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7916148221476854632-7957438422186771394?l=www.onabudget.senoracartera.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.onabudget.senoracartera.com/2009/12/deal-of-day-marni-wave-clutch.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Dania Padron)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KQ9wdKWm-s8/SzIgi9mdJFI/AAAAAAAAI8Q/Ba3yVhoSR2I/s72-c/marni-wave-clutch.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916148221476854632.post-3327709199877205875</guid><pubDate>Tue, 22 Dec 2009 14:00:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-12-23T09:03:11.771-05:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>accessories</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>$500-$699</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Nancy Gonzalez</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>cosmetic bags</category><title>Nancy Gonzalez Crocodile Cosmetic Bag</title><description>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/catalog/prod.jhtml?itemId=prod89290004&amp;amp;parentId=cat13030738&amp;amp;masterId=cat14210731&amp;amp;index=37&amp;amp;cmCat=cat000000cat000141cat14210731cat13030738" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ps="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KQ9wdKWm-s8/Sy_b4WheG5I/AAAAAAAAI7g/tGf9sVBA5xQ/s400/Nancy+Gonzalez+Crocodile+Cosmetic+Bag.JPG" alt="Nancy Gonzalez crocodile cosmetic bag"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;You all&amp;nbsp;know I couldn't possibly feature a Nancy Gonzalez handbag on &lt;strong&gt;Señora Cartera On A Budget&lt;/strong&gt;. The exotic handbag designer is way off limits around these parts with the exception of the occasional accesory. Enter the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: #990000;"&gt;Crocodile Cosmetic Bag&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; done in a stunning matte &lt;em&gt;red&lt;/em&gt; color. I suppose you could get inventive with this bag and use it as a clutch, but it measures only about 6 x 4 x 2. That would be a bit of a stretch even by my standards. As a cosmetic case, however, it's perfect. Dual zippers with bead pulls reveal a lovely suede-lined interior, and there is the amazing crocodile exterior to consider. For those of you that are unwilling or simply unable to get your hands on a Nancy Gonzalez bag, her croc cosmetic bag is the next best thing. I know $600 for a cosmetic bag is very expensive, but sometimes accessories are worth the splurge when you can use them inside any bag you own. Just imagine what your friends will say when you whip out this&amp;nbsp;vibrant make-up&amp;nbsp;case from your budget-friendly handbag. I'll bet they'll be pea-green with envy. I know I would be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Nancy Gonzalez Crocodile Cosmetic Bag available via &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/catalog/prod.jhtml?itemId=prod89290004&amp;amp;parentId=cat13030738&amp;amp;masterId=cat14210731&amp;amp;index=37&amp;amp;cmCat=cat000000cat000141cat14210731cat13030738"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;neimanmarcus.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7916148221476854632-3327709199877205875?l=www.onabudget.senoracartera.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.onabudget.senoracartera.com/2009/12/nancy-gonzalez-crocodile-cosmetic-bag.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Dania Padron)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KQ9wdKWm-s8/Sy_b4WheG5I/AAAAAAAAI7g/tGf9sVBA5xQ/s72-c/Nancy+Gonzalez+Crocodile+Cosmetic+Bag.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916148221476854632.post-3698576313022763199</guid><pubDate>Mon, 21 Dec 2009 18:00:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-12-21T13:03:34.220-05:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>computer sleeves</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>giveaway</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Lucky Brand</category><title>Lucky Brand Computer Sleeve Giveaway</title><description>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KQ9wdKWm-s8/SyaW0N_6VGI/AAAAAAAAI4g/yeXTvyP9G4c/s1600-h/Lucky+Brand+15+inch+Computer+Sleeve.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" rs="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KQ9wdKWm-s8/SyaW0N_6VGI/AAAAAAAAI4g/yeXTvyP9G4c/s400/Lucky+Brand+15+inch+Computer+Sleeve.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"&gt;UPDATE!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zarka A. is the winner of our Lucky Brand Computer sleeve giveaway.

From the&amp;nbsp;hexagonal body to the hexagonal cut-out handles and&amp;nbsp;detachable shoulder strap with rectangle-shaped gunmetal chain links, this Tory Burch&amp;nbsp;design is a geometry lover's (and handbag lover's) dream. Let's not forget to mention the gorgeous &lt;em&gt;black&lt;/em&gt; metallic leather exterior and well-appointed interior that boasts a main compartment with zippered center divider and smaller pockets to store cell phones and tiny knick knacks. Measuring 13 x 14 x 3, the Hexagonal Tote is roomy enough to hold all your essentials.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All in all, this is a fun, budget-friendly&amp;nbsp;handbag option for those of you that like to think outside the box, or hexagon, as the case may be.

We know that, but who knew &lt;strong&gt;Rachel Bilson&lt;/strong&gt; did too? The actress/fashionista, known for wearing stylish frocks and carrying killer designer handbags, is sporting the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: #990000;"&gt;MARC by Marc Jacobs Petal to the Metal Sasha Shoulder Bag&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This &lt;strong&gt;$500&lt;/strong&gt; design is urban chic and totally utilitarian. There are a slew of pockets and storage options on the 'Sasha' not to mention the sumptuous leather exterior that rivals the leather used on the bags from its' high-end sister label. For those of you that have kept up with my MARC handbag reviews on Señora Cartera, you won't be surprised by my utter distaste for the stupid decorative bird hardware on Jacobs' latest batch of bags. I know everyone loves them, but I think they're ridiculous. Other than that, this bag is golden. The Sasha Shoulder Bag is sold out on-line, but &lt;a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/am/product/60945?cm_mmc=LinkshareUS-_-ProductFeed-_-Marc+by+Marc+Jacobs-_-Shoulder+Bags&amp;amp;siteID=J84DHJLQkR4-wVpleBNteQ6HM7ZkqAgUYg"&gt;net-a-porter.com&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and &lt;a href="http://madisonlosangeles.com/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=10828"&gt;madisonlosangeles.com&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;have the &lt;em&gt;cement&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;(light grey)&amp;nbsp;version of Rachel's bag in stock so hurry and scoop one up if you're interested.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Rachel Bilson photo: justjared.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7916148221476854632-3135158312058146775?l=www.onabudget.senoracartera.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.onabudget.senoracartera.com/2009/12/celebrity-style-rachel-bilson-and-marc.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Dania Padron)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KQ9wdKWm-s8/SyqnDrPSIuI/AAAAAAAAI5w/sPS-E3v0Zqg/s72-c/rachel-bilson-africa-instyle-05%5B2%5D.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916148221476854632.post-1047739858524465938</guid><pubDate>Tue, 15 Dec 2009 18:28:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-12-15T13:29:44.837-05:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>handbags</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>totes</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>$300-$499</category><title>Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent Dunaway Tote</title><description>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KQ9wdKWm-s8/SyfVEDa8Z_I/AAAAAAAAI5I/E4JHx2UElvo/s1600-h/Twelfth+Street+by+Cynthia+Vincent+Dunaway+Tote.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ps="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KQ9wdKWm-s8/SyfVEDa8Z_I/AAAAAAAAI5I/E4JHx2UElvo/s320/Twelfth+Street+by+Cynthia+Vincent+Dunaway+Tote.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I came across this bag a few weeks back, and was instantly smitten. The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: #990000;"&gt;Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent Dunaway Tote&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; is a very large bag, and certainly not for the faint of heart. However, if you love big bags as much as I do, this design is an appealing and budget-friendly option. The &lt;em&gt;bronze&lt;/em&gt; metallic leather exterior is surprisingly supple, but that's not the best part of this design. The tote boasts three carrying options - a 6" attached top handle as well as two detachable straps, 12" and 20" respectively. In case you can't appreciate the bag's details from the photos, the bottom corners fold in giving it a modern, geometric-inspired look. I love this color. It's versatile enough to pull off year-round. If you're looking for a resort bag, but can't afford thousands, look no further than this roomy tote to accompany you on your travels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent Dunaway&amp;nbsp;Tote available for $495 via &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-3485302-10456099?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.shopbop.com%2Fdunaway-tote-twelfth-st-by%2Fvp%2Fv%3D1%2F845524441858484.htm" onmouseout="window.status=' ';return true;" onmouseover="window.status='http://www.shopbop.com';return true;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;shopbop.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7916148221476854632-1047739858524465938?l=www.onabudget.senoracartera.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.onabudget.senoracartera.com/2009/12/twelfth-street-by-cynthia-vincent.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Dania Padron)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KQ9wdKWm-s8/SyfVEDa8Z_I/AAAAAAAAI5I/E4JHx2UElvo/s72-c/Twelfth+Street+by+Cynthia+Vincent+Dunaway+Tote.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916148221476854632.post-6014168013158638259</guid><pubDate>Thu, 10 Dec 2009 22:19:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-12-23T09:10:40.459-05:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>handbags</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>$500-$699</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Rebecca Minkoff</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>$100-$299</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>$300-$499</category><title>SCOAB Loves Rebecca Minkoff</title><description>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KQ9wdKWm-s8/SyFzXOlz5NI/AAAAAAAAI2A/jlX5N6KjH8E/s1600-h/Rebecca+Minkoff+bags.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ps="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KQ9wdKWm-s8/SyFzXOlz5NI/AAAAAAAAI2A/jlX5N6KjH8E/s320/Rebecca+Minkoff+bags.JPG" alt="Rebecca Minkoff budget-friendly bags"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;With many of&amp;nbsp;their bags coming in under our $700 price range cut-off, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: #990000;"&gt;Rebecca Minkoff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; is our pick for the most chic, budget-friendly accessories label. From its famous MAB bag, to newer styles like the Stud Fling Clutch and Loveletter Satchel, Rebecca Minkoff has a bag to suite every style and taste. The leathers and hardware on these designs are comparable to many high-end designer bags. Edgy designs, quality materials and budget-friendly prices are exactly what savvy shoppers look for in a handbag.&amp;nbsp;So to all our Señora Cartera On A Budget (SCOAB)&amp;nbsp;readers, keep Rebecca Minkoff on your radar at all times.

I know some of my designer handbag loving friends scoff at the idea of buying Cole Haan as if they were settling for sub-par quality construction and cheap materials. Nothing could be further from the truth. I have several Cole Haan bags. The leather on these bags is comparable to many designer labels, and I have yet to find a stitch out of place on any of them. But, heck, don't take my word for it. Celebrities, who have boundless resources and equally bottomless bank accounts, love Cole Haan bags too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;Twilight&lt;/u&gt; star &lt;strong&gt;Ashley Greene&lt;/strong&gt; really has a thing for Cole Haan bags. She's been photographed carrying various CH designs. Most recently she stepped out to shop for sweets with a friend and the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;Cole Haan Prudence Hobo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. The woven pattern on the Prudence Hobo is the main attraction. In contrast to other woven bags from labels like Bottega Veneta where the tightly woven pattern is comprised of thin leather strips, the 'Prudence' shines with thick strips that give the bag a more casual feel. The cute tassel pull adds some interest without appearing out of place. This budget-conscious shoppers dream is priced under $500 and comes in several colors including Ashley's lovely &lt;em&gt;dark grey&lt;/em&gt; version. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KQ9wdKWm-s8/SnyTE1e245I/AAAAAAAAIdw/6N0H0kh0cDc/s1600-h/Cole+Haan+Prudence+Hobo.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 285px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367326567204053906" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KQ9wdKWm-s8/SnyTE1e245I/AAAAAAAAIdw/6N0H0kh0cDc/s400/Cole+Haan+Prudence+Hobo.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Buy Ashley's exact bag via &lt;a href="http://www.colehaan.com/colehaan/catalog/product.jsp?productId=285787&amp;amp;categoryId=321802&amp;amp;productGroup=285789"&gt;colehaan.com&lt;/a&gt; or choose between &lt;em&gt;chestnut brown&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;zinfandel red&lt;/em&gt;, two colors perfect for fall, at &lt;a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=0RqjEkv6Fgs&amp;amp;subid=&amp;amp;offerid=170313.1&amp;amp;type=10&amp;amp;tmpid=2174&amp;amp;RD_PARM1=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.&amp;amp;RD_PARM2=saksfifthavenue.com%2Fmain%2FProductDetail.jsp%3F&amp;amp;RD_PARM3=PRODUCT%253C%253Eprd_id%3D845524446236919%2526FOLDER%253C%253Efolder_id%3D282574492709323%2526ASSORTMENT%253C%253East_id%3D1408474399545537%2526bmUID%3D1249430296143%2526ev19%3D1%3A8"&gt;Saks.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Ashley Greene photo via ashleygreene.net&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7916148221476854632-4691618300761655281?l=www.onabudget.senoracartera.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.onabudget.senoracartera.com/2009/08/celebrity-style-ashley-greene-and-cole.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Dania Padron)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KQ9wdKWm-s8/SnyPQD8APRI/AAAAAAAAIdo/3yRIEa1l8_g/s72-c/004~25%5B1%5D.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916148221476854632.post-1620396030786028843</guid><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jul 2009 17:42:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-07-31T14:10:27.381-04:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>handbags</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Bulga</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>totes</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>$300-$499</category><title>Bulga Blesk Stud Tote</title><description>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KQ9wdKWm-s8/SnMxv6tzraI/AAAAAAAAIZ4/7yhvNwXdFa4/s1600-h/Bulga+Blesk+Stud+Tote.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 314px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364686280413392290" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KQ9wdKWm-s8/SnMxv6tzraI/AAAAAAAAIZ4/7yhvNwXdFa4/s320/Bulga+Blesk+Stud+Tote.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I've been eying the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Bulga Blesk Stud Tote&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; for some time. I couldn't quite make up my mind if I liked it or not, but after careful consideration I'm giving it my stamp of approval, with one caveat. Let me talk about all the aspects of this bag that I like. The large size makes it an ideal carry-all while its &lt;em&gt;grey/taupe&lt;/em&gt; color is a soothing alternative to all the black bags we're seeing for the fall. The large top handles that are attached to the body of the bag give the design added comfort and stability, but I've left the best part for last.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't even think I've forgotten to offer up my thoughts on the randomly placed studs. I love them to death. They're large, clunky, shiny and are the perfect accents to such a large bag. The fact that they decided to place just a few of them on one side gives the 'Blesk' an asymmetrical look that's refreshing to see. My only bone to pick with this design is the lack of a detachable shoulder strap. It's impossible to carry this bag over the shoulder due to the minuscule 4" handle drop. An additional carrying option for such a large tote should be a must, but I can't dismiss the 'Blesk' for that omission. Its overall design is just too fabulous to even consider doing that. You'll have to suffer a bit to carry this tote, but we're used to suffering for fashion's sake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Bulga Blesk Stud Tote available for $398 via &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a onmouseover="window.status='http://www.shopbop.com';return true;" onmouseout="window.status=' ';return true;" href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-3485302-10456099?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.shopbop.com%2Fblesk-stud-tote-bulga%2Fvp%2Fv%3D1%2F845524441848113.htm%3FfolderID%3D2534374302044007%26fm%3Dbrowse-brand-viewall-shopbysize" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Shopbop.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7916148221476854632-1620396030786028843?l=www.onabudget.senoracartera.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.onabudget.senoracartera.com/2009/07/bulga-blesk-stud-tote.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Dania Padron)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KQ9wdKWm-s8/SnMxv6tzraI/AAAAAAAAIZ4/7yhvNwXdFa4/s72-c/Bulga+Blesk+Stud+Tote.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916148221476854632.post-59735386530162205</guid><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jul 2009 17:10:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-12-10T14:39:42.408-05:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>handbags</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>$500-$699</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Lauren Merkin</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>duffles</category><title>Lauren Merkin Ostrich Paige Duffel Bag</title><description>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KQ9wdKWm-s8/SnMoZz0ewFI/AAAAAAAAIZo/yjgv8WFDj7Y/s1600-h/laure2013717884_p1_v1_m56577569831765030_254x500%5B1%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364676005000560722" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KQ9wdKWm-s8/SnMoZz0ewFI/AAAAAAAAIZo/yjgv8WFDj7Y/s320/laure2013717884_p1_v1_m56577569831765030_254x500%5B1%5D.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Lauren Merkin is best known for charming clutches rather than full-blown handbags, so I was a bit surprised when I was drawn to this bag and realized it was, in fact, a Lauren Merkin design. I happen to like the ostrich-embossed leather on the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Paige Duffel Bag&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; because it's the easiest of all the exotic skins to mimic. The &lt;em&gt;grey&lt;/em&gt; exterior and &lt;em&gt;navy&lt;/em&gt; trim on this duffel-style bag compliment each other beautifully. What a great work bag this would make. It has slit pockets on either side as well as interior zipper and patch pockets. Measures a roomy 14.5 x 9 x 6. What I like most about this design is the fact that the feminine yet modern quality of Lauren Merkin's handheld bags is quite evident here. I've seen a few other Lauren Merkin handbags, and I'm just as much a fan of them as I am of this bag.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Lauren Merkin Ostrich Paige Duffel Bag available for $575 via &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a onmouseover="window.status='http://www.shopbop.com';return true;" onmouseout="window.status=' ';return true;" href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-3485302-10456099?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.shopbop.com%2Fostrich-paige-duffel-bag-lauren%2Fvp%2Fv%3D1%2F845524441848451.htm%3FfolderID%3D2534374302024667%26fm%3Dother-viewall-shopbysize" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Shopbop.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7916148221476854632-59735386530162205?l=www.onabudget.senoracartera.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.onabudget.senoracartera.com/2009/07/lauren-merkin-ostrich-paige-duffel-bag.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Dania Padron)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KQ9wdKWm-s8/SnMoZz0ewFI/AAAAAAAAIZo/yjgv8WFDj7Y/s72-c/laure2013717884_p1_v1_m56577569831765030_254x500%5B1%5D.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916148221476854632.post-6006979536609723278</guid><pubDate>Fri, 24 Jul 2009 16:58:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-07-24T13:25:57.039-04:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>handbags</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>totes</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>celebrity style</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>celebrity fashion</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Anya Hindmarch</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Under $100</category><title>Celebrity Style: Sarah Michelle Gellar and the Anya Hindmarch 'Shopping' Canvas Tote</title><description>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KQ9wdKWm-s8/Smnt71z4RuI/AAAAAAAAIUo/TlZdjNzfm78/s1600-h/SMG+and+the+Anya+Hindmarch+%27Shopping%27+Canvas+Tote.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 243px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362078443674027746" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KQ9wdKWm-s8/Smnt71z4RuI/AAAAAAAAIUo/TlZdjNzfm78/s320/SMG+and+the+Anya+Hindmarch+%27Shopping%27+Canvas+Tote.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Do I need an excuse to feature Sarah Michelle Gellar on &lt;u&gt;Señora Cartera On A Budget&lt;/u&gt; again? She is one of the most adorable pregnant women I've ever seen (I looked like a beached whale and NEVER had that "glow" everyone always talks about). Baby bumps aside, SMG makes her second appearance on SCOAB because she's being a bit more frugal during her gestational phase. Sarah has been seen around L.A. sporting the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Anya Hindmarch 'Shopping' Canvas Tote&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. I featured these canvas totes &lt;a href="http://www.senoracartera.com/2009/06/anya-hindmarch-dry-cleaning-canvas-tote.html"&gt;on Señora Cartera&lt;/a&gt; last month, and now I see one of my favorite actresses recognizing what practical and chic shopping bags these Anya Hindmarch designs really are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KQ9wdKWm-s8/SmntF8E--aI/AAAAAAAAIUg/DnliSrvJ6QI/s1600-h/Anya+Hindmarch+Canvas+Shopping+Bag.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 233px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 263px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362077517643446690" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KQ9wdKWm-s8/SmntF8E--aI/AAAAAAAAIUg/DnliSrvJ6QI/s400/Anya+Hindmarch+Canvas+Shopping+Bag.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My personal pick was the 'dry cleaning' theme, but this 'shopping' version is ideal for running errands. The shoulder straps are crafted from sturdy tan leather looped through gold-tone, square metal rings embossed with the AH logo. The green-colored print features everything from a bottle of wine to a tube of toothpaste. How kitsch!

How about a Cheshire cat! OK, it's not an actual living, breathing cat, but who wants one of those pesky pets anyhow. Marc Jacobs has decided he's not entirely done with inserting rather kitschy accessories into his MARC by Marc Jacobs line, and proves it with the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Cheshire Cat Wristlet&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. It's cute in a creepy sort of way, like his "Miss Marc" bags are. I suppose it's an appropriate gift for, let's say, a 12-yr old, but a full grown woman? (Yes, the question is rhetorical). &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KQ9wdKWm-s8/SmdBQKjR-II/AAAAAAAAIRw/5n8da08eSB8/s1600-h/images%5B4%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 71px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 127px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361325627373910146" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KQ9wdKWm-s8/SmdBQKjR-II/AAAAAAAAIRw/5n8da08eSB8/s320/images%5B4%5D.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I'd recommend looking into similar coin purses from other labels that are executed in a much more refined manner than this line of wristlets. There's an actual collection of these, and the "mouse" and "owl" (equally creepy) are also available. BTW, this is what a Cheshire cat should look like - nice, wide grin. Marc's version is, well, just a cat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;MARC by Marc Jacobs Cheshire Cat Wristlet (as well as the rest of Marc's menagerie) available via &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a onmouseover="window.status='http://www.shopbop.com';return true;" onmouseout="window.status=' ';return true;" href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-3485302-10456099?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.shopbop.com%2Fcheshire-cat-wristlet-marc-jacobs%2Fvp%2Fv%3D1%2F845524441848355.htm%3FfolderID%3D2534374302024667%26fm%3Dother-viewall-shopbysize" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Shopbop.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7916148221476854632-4725253221507404135?l=www.onabudget.senoracartera.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.onabudget.senoracartera.com/2009/07/marc-by-marc-jacobs-cheshire-cat.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Dania Padron)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KQ9wdKWm-s8/Smc_pBuqwXI/AAAAAAAAIRg/PbwiHIAxv7k/s72-c/marcj2174527047_p2_v1_m56577569831761584_254x500%5B1%5D.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916148221476854632.post-2121609072481301868</guid><pubDate>Thu, 16 Jul 2009 17:38:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-07-16T13:53:44.868-04:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>handbags</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>hobos</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>BCBG</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>$300-$499</category><title>BCBG Max Azria Femme Fatale Leather Hobo</title><description>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KQ9wdKWm-s8/Sl9o7SYWDoI/AAAAAAAAIOk/NuqA7oMswVY/s1600-h/BCBG+Maz+Azria+Femme+Fatale+Leather+Hobo.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 218px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359117449349697154" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KQ9wdKWm-s8/Sl9o7SYWDoI/AAAAAAAAIOk/NuqA7oMswVY/s320/BCBG+Maz+Azria+Femme+Fatale+Leather+Hobo.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Don't you just love it when your designer bag comes with an attached lipstick case? Not me. The addition of such a gimmicky accent on the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;BCBG Max Azria Femme Fatale Leather Hobo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; seems unnecessary considering this is an enormous bag and not a clutch where such a item might come in more handy. This cavernous &lt;em&gt;black&lt;/em&gt; leather hobo (it's actually a "tobo" - part tote, part hobo) has a nice shape and comfortable shoulder drop, but it's size will only work on larger frames. At 18 x 16 x 6.5, it would be out of the question for a petite woman. I suppose only big and tall gals will sport the "Femme Fatale' without looking ridiculous. Sorry my petite readers, this one is just for us tall ladies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;BCBG Max Azria Femme Fatale Leather Hobo available for $498 via &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524446233217&amp;amp;FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=282574492704173&amp;amp;ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=1408474399545537&amp;amp;bmUID=1247406256553&amp;amp;ev19=1:4"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Saks.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7916148221476854632-2121609072481301868?l=www.onabudget.senoracartera.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.onabudget.senoracartera.com/2009/07/bcbg-max-azria-femme-fatale-leather.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Dania Padron)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KQ9wdKWm-s8/Sl9o7SYWDoI/AAAAAAAAIOk/NuqA7oMswVY/s72-c/BCBG+Maz+Azria+Femme+Fatale+Leather+Hobo.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916148221476854632.post-1471887723406704884</guid><pubDate>Wed, 15 Jul 2009 13:34:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-07-15T09:46:05.423-04:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>handbags</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>clutches</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Tory Burch</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>$300-$499</category><title>Tory Burch Hadley Clutch</title><description>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KQ9wdKWm-s8/Sl3dNjJFktI/AAAAAAAAIM8/O4J3aW3cneQ/s1600-h/TB_20099837_CHOCOLATE-GOLD%5B1%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 290px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358682356482151122" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KQ9wdKWm-s8/Sl3dNjJFktI/AAAAAAAAIM8/O4J3aW3cneQ/s320/TB_20099837_CHOCOLATE-GOLD%5B1%5D.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I absolutely love this fierce clutch from Tory Burch. Not exactly what I was expecting from the TB design team, but if this clutch is any indication of where their focus is shifting to, I'm beyond on board with it. The framed silhouette and &lt;em&gt;chocolate brown&lt;/em&gt; resin exterior are modern and edgy. Factor in the gold beetle decorative accents, lush suede trim and adorable kisslock closure, and there really is no need to debate how fabulous the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Tory Burch Hadley Clutch&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; really is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Shop the Tory Burch Hadley Clutch for $435 thru the Tory Burch &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.toryburch.com/toryburch/browse/productDetail.jsp?icProduct=20099837&amp;amp;icSort=&amp;amp;icCategory=cat70012"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;website&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7916148221476854632-1471887723406704884?l=www.onabudget.senoracartera.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.onabudget.senoracartera.com/2009/07/tory-burch-hadley-clutch.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Dania Padron)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KQ9wdKWm-s8/Sl3dNjJFktI/AAAAAAAAIM8/O4J3aW3cneQ/s72-c/TB_20099837_CHOCOLATE-GOLD%5B1%5D.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916148221476854632.post-1289771742734792921</guid><pubDate>Thu, 02 Jul 2009 13:09:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-07-02T09:26:56.014-04:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>handbags</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>clutches</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>$100-$299</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>FRYE</category><title>Frye Softy Clutch</title><description>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a onmouseover="window.status='http://www.zappos.com/bin/zapposset?src=cj&amp;amp;ref=comjun';return true;" onmouseout="window.status=' ';return true;" href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/7c103lnwtnvAEFJGEBDAHHIDJKI?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.zappos.com%2Fproduct%2F7528623%2Fcolor%2F14" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 166px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KQ9wdKWm-s8/Sky1V5fHZdI/AAAAAAAAIG0/_V-kdS6rMOQ/s200/10757-883191-p%5B1%5D.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353853444849886674" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;This &lt;em&gt;off-white,&lt;/em&gt; oversize clutch from FRYE is the perfect summer hand-held bag. Measuring 11 x 8 x 4 with a 6" attached wristlet strap, the Softy Clutch is large enough to store your keys, small wallet, cell phone, sunglasses and lipstick. What else could a woman want to bring along with her on a lunch date with friends or brunch with that special someone? If you need more space, this clutch provides front and rear expandable pockets to store anything else you might require. The buttery soft leather, cool off-white color and gold-tone hardware are made for one another.

From their popular soccer-mom staple, the 'Le Pliage', to Kate Moss' favorite, the 'Légende', Longchamp has carved a niche for itself by creating moderately-priced, durable handbags for women with high-end designer tastes. The French label is having a great on-line &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;summer sale&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. Everything from handbags to wallets and luggage are on sale up to 50% off. The large (14.5 x 10 x 5.5) patent leather Légende Satchel in &lt;em&gt;pomegranate&lt;/em&gt; (&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;pictured&lt;/span&gt;) has been reduced from &lt;s&gt;$900&lt;/s&gt; down to &lt;strong&gt;$450&lt;/strong&gt;! The cowhide leather versions are available in &lt;em&gt;white&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;beige&lt;/em&gt; and have also been reduced from &lt;s&gt;$1075&lt;/s&gt; to &lt;strong&gt;$600&lt;/strong&gt;. There's no excuse now, ladies. We can all look perfectly polished with a Longchamp Légende Satchel for $600 or less.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Shop the Longchamp summer sale &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.longchamp.com/en/home-e-shopping/e-shopping-showroom-soldes-491.html&amp;amp;genre=femme#detailsContent"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7916148221476854632-4708552420637648024?l=www.onabudget.senoracartera.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.onabudget.senoracartera.com/2009/06/sale-alert-longchamp-on-line-summer.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Dania Padron)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KQ9wdKWm-s8/SkpW1w2KCTI/AAAAAAAAIF0/zDc30QyKR04/s72-c/1746173854_0%5B1%5D.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916148221476854632.post-3818327956701882830</guid><pubDate>Tue, 23 Jun 2009 14:06:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-06-23T10:52:37.356-04:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>handbags</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Deal Of The Day</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>totes</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Linea Pelle</category><title>Deal Of The Day: 25% Off Any Single Item at eBags.com</title><description>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KQ9wdKWm-s8/SkDqVzBLg4I/AAAAAAAAIDs/QsLerJfnBqM/s1600-h/Linea+Pelle+Alyssa+Tote.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 176px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350534017509458818" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KQ9wdKWm-s8/SkDqVzBLg4I/AAAAAAAAIDs/QsLerJfnBqM/s400/Linea+Pelle+Alyssa+Tote.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;center&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Linea Pelle Alyssa Tote&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;: Reg. $495 Sale $445.50 Additional 25% off $334&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-2334111-10677968"&gt;Get 25% Off a single Item at eBags.com - valid 06/23 Only!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's a chance to get a fab bag at a great price.
