Katie Holmes for Miu Miu

I'm loving Katie Holmes as the fabulous new face of Miu Miu in their Spring 2009 ad campaign. See for yourself.

Tous

Tous is a Spanish luxury brand that's now being endorsed by Kylie Minogue. I loved their heart pendants that were being advertised everywhere for Valentine's Day. Different from the everyday plain jane heart pendant giving it a unique je ne sais quoi! You can find items at their online store and there's a store in Yorkdale mall.

Matt & Nat

Montreal company, Matt & Nat, provides stylish vegan handbags. Designed by Inder Bedi, these handbags are eco-friendly with entire collections having been made from recycled plastic bottles. However you would never know it, since some look very much like leather. Jorja, one of their most popular handbags, was named after Jorja Fox, a well-known celeb vegetarian from CSI. You can find these handbags at Holt Renfrew, Mendocino, Browns and I've seen them at Winners occasionally.

Messenger Handbags

I'm all about European style messenger handbags right now, preferably in black or brown leather. These bags are very functional and good for everyday use. I've been seeing them everywhere and wanted to share my findings. The following are from Fossil, Matt & Nat, Coach, Roots and Danier.

Jessica Simpson Collection

I am all about the Jessica Simpson Collection, especially the handbags. These are some of my picks that I found at Amazon. Can't wait to see more of her designs to come and hoping these products will become available in more retail stores.

Juicy Couture Day Dreamer

I have been completely lusting over the Juicy Couture Day Dreamer Velour Tote's for quite some time now. Especially the nardels (pink) / depp (brown) color combination. These bags are made with velour and leather trim. I love the big bow and charms attached. This 2008 version has Juicy Couture and fairy-tale embroidery on the front.

mark Magalog

You can get the mark. brand through an Avon rep and now Lauren Conrad is creating accessories with mark. I like the connecting the Hook Ups for products like mascara, eyeliner and lip gloss, but you can connect lots of face, lips or eye products. The Flip For It's are great too, with eyeshadows, blush, glosses and lipsticks. You can also customize the eye shadows in the Snap To It Color Palettes.

Guess Handbags

The Guess store is one of my fav places to visit on Boxing Day for the great sales! This year there's 25% off everything and up to 50% off sale items in store and online. I'll be looking for these black handbags today.

Fringe Benefits

Speaking of Matthew McConaughey's baby mama, Camila Alves, it's worth noting that her and her mother design the handmade leather handbag line, Muxo. These bags give off a bohemian Brazilian vibe, some styles have fringe, and many come in a variety of colours. A little pricey for my liking, but I'll be looking for something similar.
