Must..have..this..bag!

I'm in love with this Cole Haan bag featured on ilovetypography. But, at $450...I will be admiring from afar!

Hot off the presses: Love your bag!

My recycled newspaper tote has received more attention-at the grocery store, the doctor's office, paying for gas-it's crazy. You can buy them from Green With Envy and choose from New York Times or Los Angeles Times newspapers. 

I actually worked on the Calendar section on my bag while I was a designer at the L.A. Times! My friend Diann bought it for me and she didn't even realize where it was from at first. What are the chances?

A Project Runway fan blogs here

Anyone watching the new season of Project Runway? One of my faves! So far I'm liking Kenley-her dress got my vote tonight. She's got a cute retro thing going on too-she should give Katy Perry a call.

The 'I don't get it moment' of the night? Suede's dress. Sorry, but the fit on top was all wrong. What did you think?

P.S. Top Design comes back on Bravo September 3rd!   

Renting designer bags

If you haven't seen 'Sex and the City'--go and have a good time. If you have, then you'll recall Jennifer Hudson's character renting designer purses. It's a real thing, folks. Check it out: www.bagborroworsteal.com

The Vintage Hermes Birkin Bag is $1690 a week! I'd rather go to Target...

No more bag lady

Cute shopping bag from Nigella Lawson's Living Kitchen collection at Bliss.

Love her description:

"I have a terrible habit of walking around town with tatty plastic bags and this is my attempt to rehabilitate in style. I can get a spare pair of shoes, books, magazines, emergency rations and the usual rubbish in here, and it actually looks good on the arm too: no more bag lady."
