Even though they were always on the pricey side, I’ve always loved the Juicy Couture lap top sleeves. Anytime I find designer accessories that has to do with technology in some way, shape or form I usually fall in love. Some designer “technology” accessories I have eyed have included the: Ed Hardy and Juicy Couture flash drives; Marc Jacobs lap top sleeves; Coach mouse pad; and Louis Vuitton iPod cases.Some people may think it’s absurd to spend so much money on a designer accessory that simply “dresses” up any of your technology pieces. I on the other hand, think it’s amazing. Fashionista’s love designer purses, clothes, and shoes and to be able to get designer goods that make technology look more stylish is always a plus.Juicy Couture has always designed the cutest but yet prettiest lap top cases. I’ve never saw one that I would actually purchase, but I’ve always thought they were adorable. When I came across the “Daydreamer” Velour Lap Top sleeve I instantly thought about purchasing it. I’m about to buy a brand new lap top and what better way to celebrate my new gadget then with a flashy case for it.What caught my eye the most about the sleeve was the bow. For some reason, the bow stole the show for me. I could be wrong, but I don’t recall ever seeing a bow on a Juicy Couture lap top case. I thought the bow made the case look that much more adorable and stylish. It’s the perfect lap top sleeve for the ultimate fashion lover!The Juicy Couture “Daydreamer: Velour Lap Top Sleeve can be purchased at Nordstrom for $158. You spend so much money on a lap top that you might as well by a gorgeous case for it right?

MM6 by Maison Martin Margiela Perforated Leather Hobo

Architecturally inspired, clean and modern lines are the design hallmarks of a Margiela handbag. While the primary line generally sells for $1,000 and up, this is a much more affordable choice for most of us. MM6 by Maison Martin Margiela is the brands diffusion line. This brand provides the Margiela style at a much lower price point. At $495, this bag makes a big statement for spring and summer!What caught my eye about the perforated Hobo is the sleek and modern triangular design of the bag. Clean and simple, it offers a lot of visual impact. I can see this with so many of today’s contemporary clothing designers. The imported, perforated leather is the second aspect of this bag that really catches your eye. It looks light and airy and fresh for summertime! An added benefit of the perforation is the overall light weight of this bag. Carrying it would be like having a cloud on your shoulder! The final simple detail is the wrapped leather at the handle. It finished and grounds the design of the bag. My only concern about the bag is whether the handle would stay clean. While there are products that can help protect it from getting dirty, it would be my primary concern. But, at that price, you could easily wear it a season and buy something new next year!The shoulder strap features a 10″ drop and the bag closes with a snap. Full-lined with an inside open pocket. The bag is an extra roomy 20″W x 12″H x 1″D. Throw in a swim suit and flip flops and you are ready for a quick jaunt to the pool!Find the MM6 by Maison Martin Margiela Perforated Leather Hobo at Saks Fifth Avenue.The Chat: MM6!

It’s no secret that Rebecca Minkoff is one of my favorite handbag designers. There are several Rebecca Minkoff styles that have been holding special places in my heart for some time now. And I always enjoy checking out all the new designs season after season. But all of this seemed to fly out the window when I stumbled across the new Rebecca Minkoff Cherish Studded Canvas Tote. I mean, it’s not like this bag is completely horrid or anything. I am just a little bit disappointed, that’s all. The Rebecca Minkoff Cherish Studded Canvas Tote is made of white canvas and it is trimmed in black leather. The front of the bag is adorned with black, square-shaped patches and centered within each of these patches is a flattened, over-sized stud. To me, this just doesn’t seem like a Rebecca Minkoff bag. Maybe if this bag was leather? Or perhaps black with white patches instead? I am so up in the air about this one! But I suppose you could rock with bag with a pair of skinny black jeans and one of those new slouchy tees. And hey, it does have that cute birdie lining that I happen to love so much!Check out the Rebecca Minkoff Cherish Studded Canvas Tote at Bloomingdale’s! It measures approximately 20″ x 12″ x 3″ and it retails for only $165.The Chat: Cherish!

Anya Hindmarch Available/Unavailable Canvas Tote

In an ideal world, men would know exactly what women want. Just think, never again would you have to hint to your man that you would really like said handbag for your birthday. He would automatically know exactly which one you had been eye-balling for weeks, allowing him to totally surprise you! But what if men could read your mind in other ways? Like whether or not you are “available”? Well never fear all you single ladies out there because Anya Hindmarch has come out with a bag that will give men all the visual clues they need!Introducing the Anya Hindmarch Available/Unavailable Canvas Tote! Ta-da… instant psychic powers! But you have to be careful here because you don’t want to bestow these powers onto any old Joe walking down the street. See, this is how I think this should work. Carry the bag around with the “unavailable” side facing out. Then, when you see a cutie that you would like to strike up a conversation with, simply flip the bag around to the “available” side and give him a wink. With any luck, he will have just read your mind and will come over to say “hi”. And if he turns out to be a creep, simply flip the bag back to the “unavailable” side again. Haha! Okay, okay… seriously though, this actually is a cute tote bag. And who knows, maybe Mr. Right will see the humor in this playful bag as well.Find the Anya Hindmarch Available/Unavailable Canvas Tote at Net-A-Porter! It is currently available in Red and it retails for $230.Shop for it: Anya Hindmarch Boutique @ Net-a-Porter!The Chat: avail/unavail!
