Angel Jackson is my new handbag crush straight out of the UK!  Launched in 2005 by sisters Katie and Millie Smith, they set out to create a fashion label that is glamorous and stylish, yet ethical.  The label has been highly received for their luxurious style and has just been shortlisted for the BFC/Vogue Designer Fashion Fund for 2010.

With their expertise in styling French celebrities, decorating Riads in Marrakech and traveling around the world, sisters Leona and Hasna Erziak has brought to life their dreams of creating their own handbag line. Their line Lena Erziak is sure to leave a lasting impression on fashionistas everywhere.

 Shana, designer of SML bags is bag obsessed!  She designs shoulder bags, totes and gorgeous one-of-a-kind clutches!  All of the bags are handmade in Brooklyn, New York.  Some of the bags are even hand painted!  Stunning!

The life of a fashion blogger can be a glamorous one; after all, there aren't too many jobs out there that require you to attend VIP parties, annual product sales, and designer showcases. It's hard work, but somebody has to do it. However, in my opinion, out of the dozens of invitations a fashion writer may receive, those that truly excite are the personal invitations from a designer to visit his or her private showroom to view their newest pieces--or if you're lucky, pieces that have yet to be released.

Rebecca Minkoff introduced her pre-fall collection in a recent YouTube video. For those that love her brand, you won't want to miss this exciting debut. She highlights some of her new handbags along with revisions to favorites such as the Tiki pouch and the Devote. Some of the highlighted colors include wine, red lizard and lavender.
