Introducing Angel Jackson
Katie and Millie Smith are two British born designers with big dreams. They once dreamed of naming their children Angel and Jackson, and creating a chic line of handbags for the contemporary woman. And when they were convinced by friends not to do the former, they bestowed their unused baby names upon their burgeoning collection.
Each of their bags, which have been featured in Vogue, Elle, Nylon, and Instyle, possess a sassy, vintage charm. For a fun neutral carryall I suggest the Mercer; grab a Chandra clutch to instantly glamorize any outfit, or give 'em something fierce and out with one of the new jaguar bags.

Burberry Unveils the 'Knight' Bag
As I mentioned previously, Burberry's fall collection is studded with, well, studs. The look is much harsher than the benevolent check pattern that has been a Burberry staple for so many years. The Knight bag (pictured above) is one of the collections central pieces. I must say that this handbag looks just as lovely in a beige studio as it did on the runway. Get your Knight bag for an astounding $2995. BTW this also counts as my designer lust of the day.
What do Grace Kelly, Jane Birkin, and Naomi Campbell Have In Common?
In the near future each will have their very own eponymous Hermes handbag. Naomi Campbell is reportedly in Paris designing what will undoubtedly become a celebrity must-have. I love Naomi and all her craziness. Who else would show up to community service wearing a Dolce and Gabanna Gown? Gotta love it.
Eyesore of the Day
The fashion police have deemed this Prada fringe bag a crime of fashion, and I would have to agree. I just cannot imagine what the normally brilliant designers at the famed design house were thinking when they came up with this monstrosity.
Fabulosity on a Budget
Let's be honest, we all want to dress like the rich and fabulous. But unless you run in the circles of Tinsley Mortimer or Julia Restoin Roitfeld, buying all of those designer must haves is simply out of the question. Well, fashionistas fret no more, because new websites like Borrowedbling.com, Bagborroworsteal.com and LoveMeandLeaveMe.com let you rent--yes i did say rent--that which you desire. Here's how it works. You can borrow luxe handbags, jewelry, and other accessories for a monthly fee (ranging from $9.95 to $175) .Vanity aside, these sites are incredibly practical for special events. What's the point of buying that super expensive evening bag that you can only wear once? Why drop $2,000 on the newest LV bag when it will be obsolete next season? This, my friends, is why we love the internet.
