1. Be&D Genesis

We saw the Be&D Garbo back in the day, now give way to the Be&D Genesis bags all over New York Fashion Week. Drama Fashion blogger Bryan Boy had one and so did Olivia Palermo.
Things to know about Be&D – They now make shoes!

2. Chloe  Marcie Handbag

Rachel Bilson has been strutting  around to casting calls in  LA with her new BFB – BEST FAB BAG – the Marcie by Chloe.

3. Mulberry Alexa Handbag

The Mulberry Sachtle has been made famous by MTV VJ Alexa Chung, for goodness sake she has shoes and now bags named after her. I tihnk the thing we love most about Alexa is that she wear what she likes and makes her comfortable and that shines through as being real and confident – even if its a vintage $10 dress with a $1000 handbag.

4. Rebeca Minkof  Morning After Handbag

Rebeca Minkof has a knack for embellishing bags that makes a statement to any ordinary pair of jeans and t-shirt outfit. No wonder she’s a steady staple to the jet setting stars that carry her purses – but with prices that normal folks like you and I can afford.

5. Alexander Wang Coco Handbag

Now if theres ever a bag thats flying off the shelves this spring/summer its the COCO – the ultimate cool bag for 2010. So hot that people are searching hard to buy even the fake Alexander Wang!  Rihanna , Mary Kate, Ashlye Tisdale  are just some of the people who’ve been spotted….the Coco has an hard rock and roll edge that many can get with for an everyday bag.

Whats your favorite it bag for 2010, is it one thats not on the list?

Colette has done it again – another fresh sneaker exhibition. Paris is heating up with these French Macaroon, Macarons color inspired sneakers from Nike.

The kicks are a completely monochrome dedication to the French pastry delight thats so popular right now in the US (which coincidentally is funny because as my friend Jess just pointed out Cupcake shops are popping up here in Paris) in colors such as raspberry and pistachio.

The Nike Air Royal Mid Macarons Pack release date is set for April 1st at Paris’s Colette.
