Vintage Handbags

This Marc Jacobs Colorblock Pochette is one of those bags were you either love it or hate it. With its conflicting colors, it is on trend; however I can’t help but feel this is one step too far. Instead of looking like a high-end fashion bag that you’ve just got to have, it kind of looks like Marc Jacobs got the left-over parts from his other, more beautiful bags, and threw them together to make this. With the mix-match materials and colors, coupled with the braided style strap, it just doesn’t work for me. Clearly it is popular amongst fans of the bag designer, and where Victoria Beckham goes, others are sure to follow. But for me even the always on-trend Mrs. Beckham can’t make this look like a to-die-for piece of arm candy, but rather like a school project designed by one of her boys.

Rihanna is one of the most beautiful pop-princesses to appear in the charts in recent years, and her music, fashion and hairstyles are always trend setting and make us girls green with envy. But one trend she will not be setting is for this Gucci Darwin Large Backpack. It is not only unsightly but perhaps one of the hardest bags to work out how the heck you are meant to carry it! It looks like a backpack but the strap makes it an over-the-shoulder, and the size and shape of the bag itself doesn’t help to solve that dilemma either. Although the exposed zips are in this season, even they can’t help safe this bag. And with that jacket, it seems Rihanna needs to call ‘SOS’ and hope for a new stylist!

Paris Hilton has it all – money, fame, the devoted boyfriend, and even a sister who is a handbag designer. But it seems that even she can get it wrong. Paris is always seen with couture handbags on her arm, and is a big fan of Fendi, Balenciaga and Hermes. But with its oversized flower and chunky strap, this bag looks like Paris wanted a bit of sister Nicky’s empire and fixed a flower to a beach bag. While this bag might go down well on the beach, it just doesn’t work on the red carpet.

Vanessa Hudgens has an army of young fans and quite a few male admirers, but she has tried to give herself a bit more credibility by becoming a bit of a fashion icon. But it looks like she has got it wrong here. Whilst the numerous exposed zips on this JJ Winters suede zip bag are definitely on trend, the suede just ruins the look and kind of makes it looks like a badly repaired bag. This look would have worked if it was a black leather bag; however this is more like Pocahontas meets Edward Scissor Hands.

Beyonce has always been considered the queen of cool, and in her days since Destiny’s Child she has definitely come into her own in the fashion stakes. However, if this Fendi Multicolored ‘To You’ bag is anything to go by, even the bootylicious Beyonce gets it wrong. Although she can pull of most trends, this one just isn’t for her.

The Hills star Heidi Montag is on of those girls you either love or hate, and together with her new husband Spencer, it's more than likely going to be the latter! The latest news from 'Speidi' is that Heidi intends to have another boob job. The wannabe pop star was reported as saying that a boob job would help make her body look more in proportion with her 'curvy butt' in her quest to be an iconic sex symbol. She underwent her first operation in 2007, but has since said that she wants to go bigger again, from a C cup to a DD.

But if her co-star Audrina Partridge is to be believed, that status could have to be put off for a while as she claims Montag wants to be the next 'Octomom'. Although both Montag and Pratt have spoken out in the past about the fact they are not ready for children, Partridge claimed that Heidi wanted to be like Nadya Suleman. At least if Heidi does have kids she will have a little girl to pass her fabulous handbag collection on to.

Whilst her taste in fashion may not be the best, she has a handbag collection to be envied with items from Balenciaga, Chanel and Valentino.

Megan Fox has been in the headlines quite a lot recently for her increasingly bizarre and outlandish comments on everything from shoe fetishes to her sex life. However some of her comments have come back and bit her in the behind over the Transformers movies. Megan famously likened director Michael Bay-Helmand to Hitler and said that the role gave her limited acting opportunities. Bay retaliated by saying the actress was prone to saying 'ridiculous things' and the cast called her 'dumb as a rock'. But it seems the actress has done a 180 with her comments. The Jennifer's Body star told the Spike TV awards that she was completely grateful to be involved in the films, dismissing what she called false reports. The actress then went on to say that she was simply 'an ordinary part of an extraordinary film', admitting that the film 'took her out of obscurity and gave her a career', for which she was extremely grateful. Perhaps this was a result of Bay hinting recently that she would not be a part of the next Transformers movie.

Whatever the reason, here's hoping we keep seeing Megan as she is definitely one-to-watch when it comes to fashion as well as film. Here she can be seen showing off her own style and one of her favourite pieces of arm candy. Megan's pink 'Hobo' bag by Giorgio Armani is one of her staple items from her wardrobe, often seen adorning her arm.

Agyness Deyn is hot property in fashion right now, and although her style is sometimes questionable, she does seem to be able to pull off anything. And now it seems Agyness has decided to try to pull off a career in acting. Following in the footsteps of the likes of Cindy Crawford and Milla Jovovich, the British model has been signed up by film director Peter McGough to star alongside 'Law and Orders' Linus Roache in his new film. The details of the film are currently under-wraps; however it has been thought that a change in career has been on the cards for Agy for sometime now.

However one thing that hasn't changed is her love of handbags. Her particular favorites seem to be anything by Rebecca Minkoff with her own collection of the designer's bags. Here she is with one of the designers embossed Lizard Mini Satchel that perfectly represents her style. She is quirky yet cool, and while not everyone could pull of this bag, she makes it look easy, and makes it a must have (if you can afford it that is!). If only her taste in men was as good. Rumor has it her on/off boyfriend Albert Hammond Jr of British band 'The Strokes' was admitted to rehab last month for an apparent row with the model. But who needs men when you have as much handbags as Agy does!

Have you picked out your festive attire this year? You could spend a fortune, grabbing up a ready to go costume that isn’t made out of nylon. Another option is to make it yourself with items from the thrift shop and potentially spend hours getting it just right.

Is it really worth the hassle? Perhaps you should consider stealing Lindsay Lohan’s brilliant idea. Skip the costume all together! “It was actually a really good Halloween,” Lindsay said of last year’s holiday. “My friend Christie and I went to dinner with Karl Lagerfeld and the gang that he was with… I didn’t dress up, I just wore Chanel!”

We are hoping Lindsay actually puts in some effort this year. After all she did a great job of dressing up a like a hooker in the past, complete with a corset, fishnets and stilettos. If you fix your eyes on Lindsay’s Twitter page long enough, you may find the answers. Then again, you probably have a life.
