While a select few people indeed enjoy going to work, many that have the 9-5 job would love to find a way out of work. They get and they are jumping for joy (at least that is what I have done in the past). At least if you have to go to work, be able to take a stunning bag so you can stare at it while your boss mumbles some sort of lame and tedious request. Another understated elegant bag from Tod’s which is especially perfect for the work place is the Tods Restyled D-Bag Shopping Media. This supple grained leather tote would be able to fit a modern day lap top (dimensions are 15.5″x 11″x 5″) and still has room for two interior zip pockets on the inside. I am a huge fan of silver hardware, and this bag sports just that along with rolled leather handles and an open top. This would make me smile as I walked to work, despite the fact that there would be 1 million other places I’d rather be. Buy via eLuxury for $1550.

I have been a huge fan of this clutch from the get-go. It is hip, young, and practical. So a new color and a new leather can make its way into my heart. Totally sultry and sexy, the Jimmy Choo Plum Patent Clutch will add a little vavoom with the shining patent leather, rich gold hardware, and perfect plum color. The clutch is a double zip and there is a brass logo plate and stud accents. From shocking blue, to understated gold, to this patent plum edition, I am confident that Jimmy Choo is onto something. This of course is a foldover clutch, with a magnetic snap closure and suede lining. Dimensions are 10½”W x 7″H x 1″D. If you loved this clutch before but wanted something a little more sophisticated, try this option. Via Saks for $975.

Seen roaming the streets with pizza in one arm and a chic pink designer handbag in the other, Sarah Jessica Parker was spotted in NYC last week. I have always loved SJP for her laid back style, and she shows off just that again when spotted in this picture. The pink handbag really sets her outfit apart, so can you Name that Bag!

Many of my friends seem to all be engaged and planning their weddings. I keep receiving ’save the date’ cards and keep wondering what I will wear and what I will buy for their gift. Better yet, I ponder what I will want from them at my not-planned wedding. Call me sick, but I enjoy thinking about my own wedding gifts in my sometime-in-the-hopefully-near-future-wedding. A gift that would have me bowing down at the givers feet would be a Louis Vuitton Trunk. I am determined to own an LV trunk and by-golly if I do not get one as a wedding gift I will use part of the gift money to buy one! Style.com had a mini idea section for good wedding gifts, and my eye got stuck on the Louis Vuitton Steamer Case. This case was first invented in 1901 as a smaller piece of travel luggage to be kept inside of the coveted LV Trunk. Gasp to the most perfect inside addition to the LV Trunk. The price is $3,050. So anyone who will be invited to my wedding, keep this post in mind! As usual, shop Louis Vuitton exclusively at eLuxury and this piece is available at select Louis Vuitton boutiques, (866) VUITTON. Try the lovely folks at Louis Vuitton Bal Harbour, Florida.

The sales are still going on and I keep hoping to find something I have to have. Typically, I find something that is priced so well that I figure I have to have it, but it sits in my closet until it is given to Goodwill. I am a really awful bargain shopper, the worst kind, but I find it totally justifiable to shop when an item is marked on ’sale’. Now I truly believe if I went for this Prada bag, I would actually use it. The Prada Canvas and Leather Tote combines a canvas body with saffiano leather trim and golden hardware. I love the simplicity of this bag with the elegant touch. It is like a plain vanilla cake with a delightful chocolate butter cream frosting. Ok, I lied, it may not be that good, but it is still a great tote nonetheless. The only aspect that could hold me back is the double handle drop, which info is not given on Saks. If this tote did not have enough wiggle room, the large dimensions (15″W X 12¼”H X 5¾”D) would end up being far too heavy just to carry by hand, completely defeating its original purpose in my handbag mind. There is an optional shoulder strap, but I find this bag to appear far more elegant over the shoulder on in your hands than across your body. I may be completely off my rocker and wrong though. Marked down at Saks for $940.
