The Large BagTrend - Where to Shop

Several times this year, I've read articles that talks about large handbags being on the "out" and smaller handbags being the "trend".    Well guess what?  If you didn't jump on that trend-wagon, you're still in the running of being fashionable!  Personally, I really don't mind carrying a smaller handbag when I'm going out on the town (aka doing anything else other than running errands)!  Even then I prefer to carry an envelope bag or a scaled-down (in size) handbag which often tends to be on the slightly larger side!  It just depends on what you like curvy divas!  It's great to follow trends, but even better when you make a trend your own!

With this in mind, I was perusing elle.com for their recommendations on larger handbags or totes that will be perfect for you!    Shop the Trend: Large Handbags


My favorite was a Louis Vuitton Lockit MM

Now that is one beautiful tote!  However because my dollars have to suit my needs, I went in search of other places for more budget-friendly choices, with good quality! I found an article on yahoo.com written by Melissa Raineri on Where to shop Trendy Handbags. She recommended three websites for trendy but quality handbags, including baghaus.com and handbag.com!


On Baghaus.com, this gorgeous Hello Kitty bag! At less than a hundred dollars, how devine!

On Handbag.com, the choices are more European inspired, found in the UK!  There inspiration was also a crossbody satchel found at Topshop!

So you see, here in the USA or on the other side of the pond, in the UK, anywhere in the world, you can find that large handbag which is still very much IN!

A writer's work is never done! Let me know which celebrity wore your favorite style! Did you watch last year's AMAs? Me too!  It was one of the best with my favorite Mr. Worldwide, Pitbull as host.  Did you catch the fashion that walked the red carpet?  No? Well, pull up a chair and I'll fill you in. At the 2012 award show, Christina Aguilera was beautiful in all her curvyness in a Pamella Roland dress, unfortunately, she went overboard on the suntan lotion.  Last year, she showed off a much leaner physique in a white Maria Lucia Hohan cut-out dress with a high split on the side.  Her shoes were Christian Louboutin peep-toe and I loved her pave jewelry.

According to Elle.com's Culture News, in an article by Rebecca Moss , the word Fashionistas was first created by Stephen Fried. In 1993, Fried, a young Journalist was writing a book about the Model Gia Carangi, who died very young, (sidenote-have you seen the [autobiography] movie of the same name, Gia? - I did and it is one to watch)!  Stephen met with people in the Industry and wanted a word that would represent who and what they were.  Because models and the Industry weren't p...
