Malini Murjani stepped into the handbag world of design in 2000, introducing us to a fusion of Indian heritage and the experience of living in various parts of Europe and America. Her handbag collection for Spring 2010 is split between two collections, Bespoke and Contemporary; filled with beautiful leathers and fine skins, as well as bright and metallic colors.  Gossip Girl's Blake Lively has already been spotted toting the Celine on set from her Spring Contemporary collection! 

Blake Lively, looking chic as always on set of Gossip Girl wearing Malini Murjani's Celine Tote in Cognac!  This girl sure knows how to look stylish anywhere she goes and doesn't disappoint with her metallic tote!

 Handbago was recently introduced to the supple leather handbags of MCS Leather.  The Collection is by Argentinian designer Mara Carrizo Scalise based in New York City.  She crafts beautiful, buttery soft Italian leather bags that are favorites of Lindsay Lohan and Blake Lively!  She also creates beautiful leather belts!  The best thing about this line is that most of the bags are under $500.  Bagistas on a budget can still have the same designer handbags worn by their favorite stars.  These gorgeous bags are sure to be seen around town!

Handbago has another BFF! She's the best friend any girl could ask for. She always lends her advice on fashion, doesn't hold out on where the bargains are or where she found that Diane von Furstenberg Millitette Coat last week and fills you in on all the must-have beauty products!!  Handbago bagistas, let me introduce you to Skinnypurse.com.

The last time I wore a fanny pack? I want to say never, but there is a slight possibility that that memory has been suppressed along with the Giga Pet craze of the 90s. However, the fanny packs that were worn two decades ago are being replaced by much more fashion forward styles! Our newest fave site, closetcravings.onsugar.com, features Blake Lively carrying the Alexander Wang Max Fanny Pack. Check out the story here.
