What are your thoughts on this multi-colored patent leather tote? Is it funky and edgy or does it look like a water color train wreck? The Jimmy Choo Malena Tote shows off a seemingly changing patent leather coloring on the east west tote along with contrast suede panels. Double handles along with a zip fastening top finishing off the top, while brass hardware adorns the outside. Through Net-A-Porter for $2300.

Unless your stuck in the hazy and cloudy Midwest, then you may be enjoying the sunshine that is in full swing due to summer. Something about summer just makes people happy, whether it is being outdoors, getting a little tan, going on vacation, but it is a happy time of year. The light and fun colors of the Louis Vuitton Damier Azur pattern are a perfect summer compilation, sporting a grey/ivory combination. In July my family is headed to Key West for a week, and I would love to travel in style with the Louis Vuitton Damier Azur Keepall which in my mind is a perfect summer travel bag. Available online in the 50 and 55, this keepall boasts natural cowhide trim, red edge dying, shiny golden brass hardware, rolled leather handles, and a removable cross body strap. Put on some shades, a light white cotton tee, sexy shorts, and you are good to go. LV adds an address label and the measurements of the Keepall 55 are 22″ x 12″ x 9″. Price is $1130 and, of course, available via eLuxurys exclusive LV boutique. Read more about Louis Vuitton Handbags.

Sure many people have had work done, but not everyone that has had some ‘alterations’ turns into a total wax doll with absolutely no facial expression, movement, or charisma. So welcome empty Ashlee Simpson to the scene, the younger sister of Jessica Simpson, in which both sisters seem to still be trying to find themselves. Closely resembling a wax doll or robot, the living in the shadow not really a singer merely a sister of a celebrity stepped out in LA sporting a stunning YSL Patent Tribute Tote. Ashlee is a huge fan of YSL bags and has been seen carrying a few before, but now she has switched to the YSL Patent Leather Tribute Tote. At least the bag is chic. This version sports a crocodile like quilted patent leather with gold tone hardware. Available via Saks for $1195.

Typically a striped ivory/black pattern could scare me away, but for some odd relentless reason, I am completely and totally drawn to this clutch. Valentino has released the Valentino Striped Bow Clutch which shows off an oversized bow that doubles over as a wristlet along with the black/ivory satin that I am now fond of. A zip closure with satin pull tabs finish off the outside, alongside black satin lining on the inside. There are no pockets, just one compartment. The measurements are 5″H x 10″W x 1/2″D. In a larger bag, I would most likely give it a nay, but in this smaller clutch, it provides the perfect va-voom. Pre-order via Bergdorf Goodman for $850.
