Moschino has teamed up with French blogger turned photographer Garance Doré for its latest Moschino Love advertising campaign. This is Garance Doré’s debut advertising campaign.

Using Doré, rather than an established fashion ad photographer, definitely gives these commercials a fresh feel. There’s a spontaneous energy about them, almost as if the photographer snapped passers-by rather than setting up shots with real models.

It also doesn’t hurt that the accessories and apparel items aren’t half bad either. I love the neutral Milanese cityscapes we see here, which add movement without distracting us from the fashions. These items come from the new Rossella collection, which is named after Moschino’s creative director Rossella Jardini. It was a meeting of the minds for Doré and Jardini, who spent time at Jardini’s apartment after the shoot wrapped.

“I immediately liked her refined style and her Italian humour,” Doré said of Jardini in her blog. “I loved the mix of elegance and sense of humour that can only be found in Rossella’s universe.“

Congratulations to Moschino for taking a risk rather than using the same old snappers. It looks like the decision is already paying dividends.

Baggallini never creates handbags which follow the trends or turn heads, but let’s remember that most of us aren’t all about arm candy. When your day demands substance over style, look to a purse like this Around Town Bagg.

It’s perhaps a bit harsh to suggest this bag is all about functionality. There’s nothing wrong with its styling; it’s just that there’s nothing too inspiring either. It’s got classic looks to suit any daytime situation, particularly if you opt for one of the neutral color options like mushroom or black. Personally though, I’d assert my individuality with a more playful shade like lime green or tomato red. These colors might seem too much on a more elaborate bag, but here they give the purse some flair.

The real drawcard about this bag is the way it’s put together. Nylon might not be an envied material, but it’s lightweight, resistant to tearing and stains, and appropriate for all weather conditions. The exterior pockets offer easy access to your cell phone, iPod, and keys, while the interior packs a real organizational wallop. A coin purse, pen slips, and credit card slots are just some of the extra perks.

My only real misgiving is the buckle closure. It’s definitely secure, but it’s also very fiddly for day-to-day use. The Around Town is also on the small side, but that can be both a blessing and a curse. It should be able to handle everything you really need, although if you’re a pack rat you might need to leave some of your favorite items behind. On the bright side though, it definitely won’t weigh you down.

At $74.95 this Around Town Bagg is an affordable way to carry the essentials you need when you’re on the go.

The Marc by Marc Jacobs line is the little sister to the Marc Jacobs collection. It brings the classic MJ design sensibility to a hip audience at a lower price point. At its worst, it’s boring or trendy, but at its best, the Marc by Marc line is a budget fashionista’s dream come true. The Natasha bag falls into the latter category with its hip, urban stylishness.

The pebbled black leather is soft, but has a durable toughness and a rugged look. The shape of the Natasha is what’s really working for me, though. It manages to be both small and slouchy, which seems like a pretty major feat. It means that the Natasha has a fabulous casual look, but isn’t a giant behemoth to carry around.

The large fold-over flap has an exposed zipper that opens onto a usable compartment, and the flap conceals the main compartment, which closes with magnetic snaps. The strap is long enough to wear across the body or over your shoulder, and is adjustable so you can take your pick. I’m not a big fan of giant cross-body bags that bang against your hip all day, but the Natasha is sized just right.

At $330, it’s also priced just right. There’s no way that this level of cool is going to stay on the shelves at that price for long, so if you love the Natasha, you better snap one up quick.

With its retro good looks and luxury materials, it’s pretty easy to fall for the Lovers Clutch from Rebecca Minkoff

Its slouchy soft leather body gives the Lovers the kind of relaxed feel that can work for daytime and nighttime use. That versatility is definitely something worth considering if the $295 price tag seems affronting at first. The leather is available in a range of colors and prints; there are eight in all including alligator embossed, tie dyed, and classic matte. It’s always lovely to be spoiled for choice, especially when we’re paying such a high price.

The soft, supple skin contrasts with the black wood which forms the handle and frame. The bean shaped hole seems a little small for all but the daintiest of hands though. I love its retro looks, but something tells me it won’t be functional. That could be a fatal flaw if you hope to use this purse during the day.

At least the interior is up to the job, with more space than the average and more pockets too. Each is trimmed in more of that luxury leather for style and durability. Just remember though, while there’s space to spare loading the Lovers up might not be the smartest idea. With a less than satisfactory carrying option, you don’t want to make life harder for yourself.

The Lovers isn’t the perfect daytime clutch, but its retro styling should still earn it a few fans.

Isabella Rossellini has unveiled the handbag she designed in collaboration with Bulgari during Paris Fashion Week.

Celebrity collaborations rarely inspire us, but Isabella Rossellini is no ordinary celebrity. The always stylish actress has created a head-turning handbag which is available in pony skin, carved patent leather, and two more materials. Each has a different art deco styled clasp made from enamel and semi-precious stones. The designs are said to represent the different sides of Rossellini’s personality.

“I wanted to combine simplicity, practicality, from my Swedish side, with the warmth and the elegance of Italy – and humor, that’s my personal touch,” said Rossellini, referring to the playful snail print on the inner lining. This playful touch is a nod to her recent ecological work. “We chose the snail, just because my bag is a little bit like my home.“

The Isabella bags arrive in Bulgari stores later this month, with prices ranging between $1700 and $2600.

Its name suggests this clutch is ready for the discotheque, but this Mirror Minaudiere from La Regale would look just as comfortable at your next black tie do.

This is a really a stunning clutch for a comparatively small amount of money. Of course in the handbag world affordable is a relative term, but to pay a little more than a hundred dollars for such a stylish purse seems like a bargain to me. Its mirrored mosaic finish makes the most of the metallics; these shiny tones all too often look gaudy but here they appear rich and lustrous.

Of course, minaudieres are never the most practical of purses and this La Regale one is no exception. It’s tiny with hard, unforgiving walls which will never tolerate overstuffing. Its clasp will simply pop open if you try. I never begrudge a chain strap, but it’s a shame this one isn’t detachable as it clutters up an already small interior when it’s not in use.

But anyone who loves minaudieres will be used to dealing with such irritations. They’re the kind of people this purse is made for, the ones who prize its head-turning good looks above all else.

Prada made us swoon with its ruched Gaufre handbags in 2006, but it seems the lush textured handbags disappeared almost as quickly as they arrived. If you didn’t get your hands on one of these It bags last time, or you simply want to update your accessories, you’re in luck. The Italian fashion label is reviving the look for its fall/winter handbag collection.

The new Gaufre handbags feature new colors and shapes. The new tones are still as neutral as the original run though, a smart move which should make this new batch of bags instant classics. You can choose from three traditional silhouettes: the east/west tote, the east/west satchel, or the shoulder bag.

The Gaufre handbags are available now through Prada retailers and high class department stores, including Saks Fifth Avenue. But you might need to save a little bit before snapping up yours, as the bags start from $2100.

Lucky Brand shows us that we can have bohemian style without the tassels and feathers with this Voodoo Leather Shopper.

In fact, this carryall bag is happily unadorned. Without extra embellishments it relies on its unique shape and unusual seam details to get the message across.

I love this bag in this deep brown shade called black coffee. Here the curved seams are subtly alluring. If that look seems too gentle for you, consider the bag in ocean blue. Here the stitches are rendered in contrasting brown to really stand out. It’s a little too obvious for my tastes, although the aqua blue shade is perfect for summer.

As all good shoppers should, this Voodoo bag is made to carry your daily essentials and some new purchases. There’s so much space, but the walls are packed with pockets so it never feels daunting. An interior key fob and two handy side pockets also make this generously sized bag a little easier to manage.

At $229 the Voodoo is one of Lucky Brand’s most expensive models, but I also think it’s one of its best.

If you are looking for something smart and affordable, this work-friendly Trokey tote from Aldo should meet the requirements.

Firstly, the price. This has to go first, because it is rare to find anything with even a semblance of style for just $29.98. Let alone a bag that has cute handles and a traditional classic design! Although you obviously don’t get leather for the price, I wouldn’t mind, because the butterscotch tan satchel more than makes up for it on looks.

Inside, you can tell the price point of this work bag. After all, a posh lining and range of organizational compartments would be a nice addition for something this functional, but would push the cost up. You have to sacrifice something, and at least in this case it hasn’t been space.

Smart and elegant, I am very impressed with the looks of this simple Aldo satchel.

If you want a clutch that is both beautiful and affordable, then can I point you in the direction of J. Renee? The Tashia clutch is the latest in a long line of purses that don’t break the bank but which are pretty without fail.

The combination of pink and patent red in this clutch is somewhat controversial. Like brown and black or black and navy blue, these colors are apparently not meant to be worn together. However, I think that the clashing colors actually set each other off beautifully, although I accept that perhaps they aren’t the subtlest colors known to man! Still, with a black outfit and some coordinating accessories, I think this J. Renee purse could only look gorgeous!

The clutch shape is more like a wallet, giving you plenty of space. With the shape in mind I would perhaps have preferred a couple more compartments or pockets, but to be fair this is a purse with a handle and couldn’t be expected to be anything else. Plus, it is spacious enough for most evening belongings, and that is always a bonus!

With a beautiful design, the J. Renee Tashia purse is the perfect thing to brighten up a dull outfit.
