Tod’s Softy Messenger

Tod�s Softy Messenger

There’s nothing like a beautiful blue purse and this particular one from Tod’s is just so very lovely.

Going by the oh-so apt name of the Softy Messenger Media, this bag is made of a soft smooth grained leather with polished silver hardware and very cute little ruched sides.

The braided leather strap is just the crowning touch on what is a delightfully blue bag from Tod’s.

Try teaming this purse up with Diesel jeans and a Juicy Couture top!

The Dior Jazzclub Bag

Dior Jazzclub Bag

Straight off the runway comes the Dior Jazzclub Handbag Collection. I don’t love these bags, but they are definitely unique and worth taking a peek at. Made of lambskin and available in black, beige, white, zebra and leopard, the jazzclub collection is recognizable by its unique large logo-engraved toggle closure and slouchy shape. The hardware is polished silver, which is refreshing after a few seasons of gold. Available on eluxury.com for $1,950.

Croc-Stamped Boston Bag from Versace

Croc-Stamped Boston Bag from Versace

This striking purse is the Croc-Stamped Boston Bag from Versace, a wonderfully kooky addition to the season.

Made of gorgeously croc-cy leather, this bag has silver hardware, a soft satin lining and patent leather trim.

The key (hanging from the purse) and a Medusa mirror on the front complete this very noticeable and covetous bag.

We’ll definitely be seeing this one for more than a while!

Posh Turnlock Convertible Tote from Marc by Marc Jacobs.

Posh Turnlock Convertible Tote

As lovely as this little purse is, we will be the first to admit that the main reason we are featuring it today is because it has the word “posh” in it’s name.

The full name is the Posh Turnlock Convertible Tote, from Marc by Marc Jacobs.

It’s a tote/clutch hybrid, made of soft, crinkly Italian leather with a twist-lock closure and gold hardware.

A great purse for everyday wear and tear!

Leopards for L.A.M.B

Leopard Chateau Clutch

This rather unusual-looking purse is the Leopard Chateau Clutch from L.A.M.B, Gwen Stefani’s oh-so-hip fashion label.

The reason this purse is being featured is that every once in a while, ArmCandyGirl likes to shake things up a little by featuring a bag that not everyone is likely to, shall we say… appreciate.

So what’s nice about this clutch, then? Just for starters, it has a secure magnetic buckle… and then there’s the removable chain… and of course we can’t forget the gold hardware and lovely leather trim.

The leopard design itself is very fresh and unusual — all in all this is a very unique and daring way to greet the Spring.

Nice one, Gwen!

Celine Buffalo “Day On” Tote

Celine Day On Tote Bag

This beautiful bag is the Buffalo “Day On” Tote from Celine, a lovely purse to take you through spring into summer time.

Made of a lovely soft leather, the Buffalo Day On is one of the sturdiest bags you can carry this season - not only does it have a fold-over top but it also has weighted corners for a more secure feel.

Silver hardware and a decorative ring on the front top off this very feminine, luxurious purse!

Katie Holmes Oversizes Her Hermes Birkin bag

Katie Holmes Oversizes Her Hermes Birkin bag

Alright so we’ve already had the whole oversized bag debate and regular readers will know…I love big bags! But even I have to admit that in the past couple of months or so, I’ve had to downsize ever so slightly. Searching for my phone…actually searching for anything became so tiresome that I accepted defeat.

But still I do have a fondness for supersized handbags, and evidently so does Katie Holmes as she left the ABC studios in New York sporting the most beautiful and the most massive red Hermes Birkin bag.

The thing is…I never thought I’d ever say this, but this is a case of the oversized trend gone too far. Her arms must be aching. Although there is the possibility that there’s nothing inside it and carrying the Birkin was for publicity purposes only. It is a gorgeous bag!
