Balenciaga may not be a fan of French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld — she was reportedly banned from their Paris show — but relations with Sarah Jessica Parker seems to be on the up and up. The actress headed out with a beautiful Balenciaga handbag on her arm, adding a nice designer accent to an otherwise ho-hum outfit.

Life is pretty good for Miranda Kerr these days. She’s dating Orlando Bloom, she just walked the Prada show, and — whoa nelly! — she’s rocking a fabulous blue Balenciaga Croc Bag that I would kill to own. I love the shot of color, and the chunky silver hardware gives it a youthful edge. Well done, Miranda!

Vanessa Hudgens Goes Casual With Balenciaga

Even stars have to slum it once in a while, and Vanessa Hudgens is definitely slumming it in these pink and black sweats. Of course, carrying a black Balenciaga purse isn’t exactly super-casual, but a designer status bag is practically an extra limb to any Hollywood starlet. Love the handbag, but let’s work on those sweats, shall we?

Beyonce Looks Sharp with Her Balenciaga Purse

You can look, but you can’t touch. No, seriously, don’t touch. Beyonce’s sharp studded gloves made a strong (and very Rihanna-esque) statement on a recent outing with hubby Jay-Z. Her blue Balenciaga handbag is less threatening, adding a much-needed dash of color to Sasha Fierce’s rocker ensemble. You just can’t go wrong with Balenciaga.

Model Hyoni Kang gives us her secrets for hair, makeup and fitness on Elle.com. "Everything I use is Kerastase," says Kang. She's also a fan of the Lumiere Nutri-Sculpt. (I just started using that a month ago and it keeps it from drying, especially when I use the flat iron!)

A Few of My Favorite Things: All-Time Favorite Bags Edition

Posted on on Thu, 02/11/2010 - 08:46 by Designer Handbag Reviews At Señora Cartera
Back in December, I began a series of personal posts entitled "A Few Of My Favorite Things" with the goal of sharing with my readers the things that I love. From my obsession with reality shows to a penchant for Hershey chocolate bars to my favorite person and all of her favorite things, I've provided a glimpse into what Señora Cartera favors. Now I'm closing out this series by sharing my all-time favorite bags with you.

When Sarah Jessica Parker's Carrie Bradshaw made the Fendi Baguette the "it" bag to have, I loved it and had to have one. Back then, I was single and favored smaller bags. The 'Baguette' was the perfect companion. I had quite a few, but, sadly, ended up selling them all to fund my next bag obsession.

My Favorite Bags

This leads me to the Balenciaga City Bag. I've bought many of them as well, but only sold away a few. For me, the 'City' provides the look and feel I prefer to use on a daily basis. I can bang up my City bags without worrying because the quality of the goatskin leather on these designs is beyond comparison. I love that I can have the same bag, but switch things up with different colors. It's change done in small doses, and that's how I like my bags to evolve.

Now that you're familiar with my past and present bag obsessions, it's time to know what I hope lies waiting for me in my future. While the handbag loving world fawns over the Hermés Birkin, I long for a sweet, demure Kelly Bag. Even though a croc Kelly is pictured here, my heart desires an Hermés 32 cm black lizard Kelly. This bag is the epitome of timeless sophistication. I want to grow old with that bag. I want to attend my son's weddings carrying that bag, and I'd want to be buried with it. If I'm lucky enough to go to heaven, then I want my black lizard Kelly bag with me for eternity.  My hubby promised I could get one on our 10th wedding anniversary. Only four more years to go.

There you have it, folks. I hope you've enjoyed learning a few things about me from knowing what my favorite things are. I'd love to know what your all-time favorite bags are. Please feel free to share!

Balenciaga's Blue Bag

Much has been made of Balenciaga's new Nightingale travel bag.



But I'm still on the smart little bag kick. There's something wonderful about Balenciaga's blue bag that caught my fancy and won't let go!

Mary-Kate Olsen Bags a Balenciaga

Posted on on Wed, 02/10/2010 - 13:07 by Erin D.

Now that’s a daring look. Mary-Kate Olsen raised eyebrows in a spotlight-stealing red coat paired with statuesque black boots and a brown Balenciaga purse. Personally, I prefer the traditional Balenciaga with a plain finish, but MK didn’t become a fashion icon by playing it safe, that’s for sure. The look isn’t one I’m likely to replicate myself, but it is guaranteed to get people talking.
