Bottega Veneta Ash Elongated Croc Clutch - 2012.

Bottega Veneta Ash Elongated Croc Clutch

If it has seemed that I have been MIA, it is indeed true.I am in full-force wedding planning mode,miu miu handbags, and the amount of details needed to go into a wedding are mind-boggling.Sure, I knew it would happen, but really, how many ways are there to fold napkins on a table and how exactly should I go about making my decision from the 38 options?

My outlet now is shopping.Yesterday I spent time online shopping for Halloween decorations.Late enough in October that everything is marked down, perfect! I am attempting to keep myself from looking into a new handbag purchase.My last was my Hermes Kelly Wallet, and really, that was my allotted amount for quite some time.

But I have a soft spot.A soft spot for exotic skins.A soft spot for Bottega Veneta.And a soft spot for this exact clutch which I have swooned after many times before.Let me introduce you to the stunning, the elegant, the timeless, Bottega Veneta Ash Elongated Croc Clutch.Made with genuine crocodile, which from BV is one of the most divine exotic skins out there, this clutch is topped with the signature knot clasp and flip closure.The color is natural, in hues of beige that will never go out of style or out of season.The inside is lined in suede and the dimensions are 9″ W X 3Â½"H X 1Â½"D.I could go on and on about Bottega Veneta.Fact of the matter is, when you ask anyone at Hermes who their competition is, the house of Bottega always seems to come up.Buy through Saks for $3, 900 (a much better buy than the Bottega Veneta Vibio Large Clutch if you ask me).

Christian Louboutin Studio 54 Bag - 2012

Vegas, what a city! I celebrated a friend's birthday out there this past weekend and was instantly reminded how much I love that city.The lights, the hotels, the restaurants, the shopping, the people watching - it really is like a playground for adults.I have to say, with all the glitz and glamor from start to finish, I couldn't help but notice some wonderful outfits and handbags during my stay.There really were some amazing handbags being sported around the city.With all the energy and excitement, I found myself yearning for a new hip and fun bag, kind of like the Christian Louboutin Studio 54 Bag.

Usually, I don't care for lime green handbag, but this one might actually work.The color is soft and in conjunction with the size of the bag, it isn't overwhelming.Zip detailing at the flap with magnetic closures adds dimension to the bag.One of the best things about this bag would have to be the removable shoulder strap.For me, this bag works much better as a clutch, but the shoulder strap could definitely come in handy.In typical Christian Louboutin fashion, there is something else eye catching about the bag, red leather lining.I've written about Christian Louboutin bags before and each one definitely had its own flare.This bag,New air jordans shoes, can definitely hold its own during a night out in Vegas or any city for that matter.Buy through Bluefly for $571.99.

Every now and then, Megs and I will both get totally obsessed with the same designer or piece at the same time, but without really telling the other about it.At some point, we then realize that we've both been spontaneously lusting after the same stuff, and we spend several minutes gushing about how much we want something, quickly followed by much whining about how much it costs for us to make those dreams a reality.

The other day, that happened with the Valentino Rockstud Collection.And not even one bag in particular? the entire thing.Shoes, bags,New air jordans shoes, whatever.Valentino came into the studs trend at the tail end, and since then, the brand has made the look into its own signature mix of edgy and ladylike.I didn't love these bags at first, but given enough time, they've grown on me in a huge way.My personal pick is the tote at top, which rings in at $2595 via Net-a-Porter, but we've got a whole selection for you to drool over after the jump.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Lovely Zip Clutch - 2012

This past holiday season I gifted many clutches to my friends and relatives. Clutches are the perfect gift to give to just about any girl. Throw a great lipstick in and you have a bag that is ready to be taken out. For many of my friends that are still into the bar scene, I opted for a bag which would look cute and provide perfect usability. My sister received five handbags from me; one of them being the Marc by Marc Jacobs Lovely Zip Clutch which is perfect for happy hour after work. Most of us have been to a bar (I went to one of the largest universities in the country, I know bars very well by now) and have seen the sticky bar tops. Not only have we all seen the dirty bar top, but we have leaned on it, put our elbow in it, spilled on it, heck, even slept face first in it. So between the bar top and the spilled drinks,www.cheap-air-jordans-shoes.com, you never wear your nicest outfit to the bar and you never carry your nicest bag. This Marc Jacobs clutch is perfect for a bar; it is cheap, it is cute, and it will hold the essentials for a night out. I picked rose for my sister, which offers a nice pop of color, and is offset nicely with white topstitching and silver hardware. There is a logo plate detail on the front that breaks up the clutch and a touch of gathering on the leather. I patted myself on the back for this pick, it is perfect for the gal who loves to go to the bars or good for a younger gal who wants to begin a collection. Buy through Saks for $188.

Marc Jacobs Misfit Top Handle - 2012

Sometimes, there's nothing I love more than a really terrible idea. Another huge slice of pizza? Great! Another shot before last call? Bring it on! I want to be a redhead today - so what if I have a ton of black dye in my hair already? It's a miracle of massive proportions that I've somehow yet to end up with a tremendously ill-advised tattoo at this juncture in my life. There's something beautiful about having the willingness and opportunity to occasionally act in defiance of all logic and good sense.

And that's exactly what the Marc Jacobs Misfit Top Handle is - a bad decision that ultimately proves how sublime it can be to occasionally make them. Nothing about this bag should work - the dueling neon colors, the pattern that they don't match at all, the quilting on top of said pattern. And a lot of people will probably disagree with me, but I think the combination of so many ridiculous ideas into one bag is actually sort of fantastic. I wouldn't necessarily wear it (ok, maybe I totally would, but I don't think I could bring myself to buy it),Cheap Mbt Shoes, but the fact that a major designer has the chutzpah to make something so terrifically weird and in defiance of traditional aesthetic standards makes me love this bag in despite of itself. Buy through Luisa Via Roma for $1728.

Fendi B Mix Baulotto Handbag - 2012

Fendi Spy HandbagFendi & Moncler Spy HandbagFendi Pebbled Leather Hobo HandbagFendi Spy Fur Handbag.

Oh Fendi,Cheap chanel handbags, why do you do some of the things you do? Do you not realize that your bags are becoming overly laughable.So what, you went out on a limb.Your limb is hanging over a river infested with piranhas and your branch just broke.There you are, getting eaten alive by the man-eating-fish.Time to sit out.Take a season off.Regroup.Then come back and give us something better.There was no need to also release the Fendi B Mix Baulotto Handbag with the faux-camo and Zucca print.Big F's take over the camo while small F's appear in the background.Take about Zucca overload.Even the handle is slathered with F's.Ok, we get it, this is a Fendi bag.But to me it is nothing more than a fug bag.This is not even fugtastic, merely fug.You have a group of followers that believe in you, so now make something to believe in.We don't need this overly logoized bag that does nothing but make our eyes burn.If you need to get back to basics, do it.But help yourself!

Kooba Daniela Studded Leather Bucket Bag - 2013

I have yet to add a bucket bag to my handbag collection. You have to understand something about me. I love handbags, but, I tend not to splurge very often. If you ask Megs or even Vlad, they will both agree. I stare at things I think about buying and make virtual pros and cons lists. This being said, I've never been able to justify the purchase of a bucket bag because I can't really imagine where I would carry it. That is where I need you to weigh in.

The black leather is topped off with just the right amount of studding on this small bag. With just a few studs along the top of the bucket bag, the studding is not overwhelming. The 24″ drop means that you can wear this bag on your shoulder or as a crossbody bag without much hesitation. There are also just the slightest hint of tassel detailing at the sides of the bag - also not too overwhelming. So,Chanel Handbags outlet, I like the bag, but what's your advice - rock it or don't? Buy through Bloomingdale's for $345.

So, today I am a bit stumped. I actually like this Kooba Daniela Studded Leather Bucket Bag, but I don't know how much use it would get. Although this bag might not work for me, I can imagine several people, including another PurseBlog writer, Anna, rocking this Kooba bag.

Pauric Sweeney Overnight Bag

Many handbag lovers, including Lindsay Lohan, have been fans of the Pauric Sweeney Python Overnight Bag. Yes, I liked it,Chanel Designer Handbags, but I did not yearn for it. Something about it did not catch my attention and keep it for enough time for me to flip out my credit card and buy it. The metallic python was really too much, but the matte black python (as seen at Lux Couture) has really been growing on me. As I started to enjoy the Pauric Sweeney Python train, I ran into another overnight bag in leather. This one gets my vote! Typically I am not drawn to bags like the Pauric Sweeney Embossed Leather Overnight Bag, as it just seems a little bland. Simple is good, bland is not. But there is this part of me that keeps looking at this bag, and keeps liking it a little more each time. The leather features corn check embossing with silver hardware and brown adjustable leather shoulder straps. Brown is the perfect option, as black would have too much of a contrast and make the bag start to resemble a bumble bee. The inside is lined in suede and has a zip pocket. The shape is square, the bag is simple and sturdy. It is the hardware and shoulder straps that really seal the deal, giving this bag the extra oomph that it needs. Buy through Net A Porter for $1425.

Marc Jacobs Rana Pouch

So now I need your help; Fab or Drab?

I have kept this Marc Jacobs Bag as a tab on my browser for weeks now, contemplating my thoughts on the bag.The thing is, I spotted it on Victoria Beckham in hot pink and thought it looked ok.Then again, Victoria Beckham (love her or hate her) can typically pull anything off and is Marc's muse right now, sporting his clothing daily and bags here and there.Over the weekend Vlad and I ran into the Marc Jacobs Rana Pouch and I actually still felt ehh about it.A big ole ‘ ehh'.While the Marc Jacobs Rana Pouch gives off a different appeal,louis vuitton wallets, pairing smooth kangaroo leather with an oversized golden frog accessory, the bag has not set me off one way or another.What I do know is that I most likely would not wear this pouch; I mean,Louis Vuitton Handbags online, where would I wear it to? It could be pulled off in South Beach, and really South Florida of all places, but it does not call to me.Fact of the matter is that many parts of the pouch make sense.The shape is ideal and hard to come by, making it an easy accessory for a night out with a removable rolled leather wristlet with a leather loop attachment.In fact, this shape is so little seen and so needed,Cheap Louis Vuitton, for evening events and the like.The frog itself (rana in Spanish), is a quirky addition.And if any of you know why Marc choose to put a frog on this bag let me know, for I have no idea.Dimensions are 8″ x 5.5″ x 6″ and the bag is available in an eye-catching acid yellow or a simple black.Buy through eLuxury for $795.

De Couture Metallic Shoulder Strap Handbag - 2012

Through Luisaviaroma for $920.

I find that many women obsess over sizing.‘ Good gawd this is an 10, I don't wear a 10! I'm not buying this' or ‘ seriously I am going on a diet and once I get to my goal these 6′ s will fit'.Ladies, for years I had a closet full of ‘ once-I-get-to-the-size-I-like-clothes.They inevitably never fit, and at times (a long time ago I tell you), I would pull those pants up, lay ont he ground, do lunges, stretch and squeeze, until the pants would fit.BAD idea.The fact that the pants could ‘ fit' was not a good sign, because they were so far from flattering that it was gaggable.Learn from this ladies, buy clothes that fit,replica louis vuitton handbags, don't look at the sizes! This happens in the handbag realm also, not ALL handbags look good on everyone.A huge bag could look really overpowering on a small framed person just as a really tiny bag can look ridiculous on a tall/larger framed person.If you look in the mirror when trying on a handbag, and you are not sure, do not buy it.This is exactly the thought that came to my mind when I saw this De Couture Metallic Shoulder Strap Handbag, well that, and actually that it is completely fugly either way.Simply put, metal and leather are combined in an Medieval like manner,www.louisvuittonnus.com, with a thick shoulder strap of metal, and a ring that connects to the small compartment bag.Totally not for me (since I am 5'10),Louisvuittonreplicahandbags4s.com, and totally not for me even if I were 4'10.

Into the python trend Do it correctly with Carlos Falchi - 2012

Snakeskin has been a staple of Falchi's line for years, and the Carlos Falchi Single Strap Hobo Bag demonstrates exactly what I wish more designers would acknowledge:Python is a design unto itself.It doesn't need much help to be beautiful, just stand back and let the leather shine.After all, that's why customers are willing to pay a premium.

See, folks? Python.It doesn't need to be colorblocked or overdyed or tricked into being beautiful and full of texture and visual interest.It just is.It's the magic of nature and we shouldn't fight it, because fighting it just means that nature is about to smite us.(See this post for proof if you don't believe me.) Pale, blue-undertoned grey and a simple shape give this bag an opportunity to show off the lush texture of the skin, and if I'm going to pony up for exotics, that's exactly what a design should do.Buy through Saks for $1750.

As we've discussed in these parts in the past, almost every major handbag brand showed some kind of python or snakeskin bags on its Fall 2011 runway, no matter whether exotics are a collection staple for a particular line or not.Predictably,www.chaneldiscounthandbags.com, that lead to some mixed results; while I saw some exotic bags I'd love to have for fall, I saw far more whose designers could have used a remedial course in how to work with python.Carlos Falchi should be the person teaching that course.

The Lauren Merkin Bella Stud Tote is a fabulous tote which uses the right color and a bit of studding to stand out. Being a tote, this bag is on the large side but doesn't seem to be too overwhelming. Another thing that I like is that the bag is a bit structured without being rigid or uncomfortable. Golden hardware adorns either the black or taupe leather. I really appreciate the placement of the studding around the trim of the bag. This is a fantastic option for both daytime and nighttime use. Buy through Bergdorf Goodman for $575.

Each time I see designer name,Louisvuittonnus.com, Lauren Merkin, I think - clutches. I have become so accustom to checking out Lauren Merkin clutches that I almost forget that she designs other handbags too. So, each time I come across something other than a clutch of hers, I am pretty pleased. I've been a fan of her clutches for quite some time now, so by default I expect something great from her other bags as well. Luckily,Louis Vuitton Replica Handbags, she rarely disappoints me.

While some parts of the world dress up more than the folk in the USA, I find the casual wear perfectly fitting for my lifestyle.Chasing a 3 year old around means I need to be able to move quick and not worry about any dirt, food, spit, etc stain.So many think that we as Americans are sloppy, but I prefer to label us business attire challenged.I keep throwing on jeans, a tee, and sandals, and my dressy bags need to stay home.I have been sporting my Gucci Horsebit Hobo, but really want a bag that has a long shoulder strap so I can wear it across my body.Funky yet fresh, the Chloe Bay Shoulder Bag is also a perfect laid-back contender.Sporting a creamy camel color with gold hardware and an adjustable shoulder strap,Cheap Louis Vuitton Handbags, this Chloe Bay is a perfect version for a woman on the go.Chunky oversized zippers, a large front zip fastening pocket,Buycheaplouisvuitton4u.com, and beige canvas lining, finish off this hip member of the Bay family.I really dig it.Via NAP for $1600.

MICHAEL Michael Kors Camden Leather Hobo - 2012

I've said it before and I'll say it again:MICHAEL Michael Kors gives buyers some of the best bang for their buck on the high-end bag market.The brand uses good materials in neutral colors that will incorporate easily into the average wardrobe, and they pair them with shapes that will give their buyers plenty of opportunity to wear them.

Having said all that, I do have a few criticisms of the MICHAEL Michael Kors Camden Leather Hobo, but I don't think that they're enough to mark the bag off of anyone's potential to-buy list.

The whole things just seems like it could be a tad more? rich.The body of the bag appears to be plenty soft and slouchy, but I would have appreciated it if the flaps and straps had been made out of the same material - they appear to be more stiff and shiny than the rest of the bag.Unless the construction is impeccable,New air jordans shoes, stiff and shiny almost always look cheap, and you can't get perfect construction at this price point.

What you can get, however, is an attractive, functional bag.That's exactly what the people at Kors have created here, and I'm willing to overlook a slight quibble with their materials.I would have appreciated a few more visual elements, though.Buy through Bloomingdale's for $348.

Urban Outfitters Sequin Box Purse - 2012

Has anyone noticed a general preponderance of double-sided sequin bags lately? I think Chanel was the first one to popularize the trick a few seasons ago,Cheap Louis Vuitton handbags, but now it seems that every store with a bag line has some version of it available. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Survey says: good thing!

We all know that my feelings about sparkly little evening bags are almost universally positive, and the ones with the color-changing sequins have the capacity to be more or less three in one. The Urban Outfitters Sequin Box Purse, for example, can be purple, silver or some combination of the two to create a "multicolor glitter" sort of look, except that you won't end up with the glitter still stuck to your hands the next morning. Since this is such a trendy piece, I wouldn't necessarily spend a lot on one of these clutches. Luckily, the Urban Outfitters iteration is just the right price. Buy through Urban Outfitters, $38.

Project Runway- “Life isn't fair, why should Project Runway be-” - 2013

The fashion business relies to heavily on editorial exposure in order to gets its wares in front of consumers' eyes, and getting your brand on the cover is the holy grail of editorial. So I have to ask again: why haven't we had this sort of practical, realistic challenge before? Isn't this essentially the constant challenge of working in the fashion world? Even if the producers couldn't have previously promised a magazine cover, they could have at least put forth the idea as a challenge, right?

As a result, I'm going to dub this the Second Universal Rule of Project Runway: always listen to the challenge rules, even if you don't like them. Your personal feelings about the rules are not relevant or interesting to Nina Garcia. As long as you speak reasonably good English and you're awake during the rules portion of this whole shindig, there's no reason not to follow them.

Anthony and Ben were the only designers that made passable cover outfits, with the addition of Emilio after he hacked off the twee little straps on his red dress (did anyone have visions of the judging during America's Next Top Model when Tyra is always making the wannabe models change their hair and outfits?). Really, I would have lumped Ben in with the rest of them - his modernist Madame Butterfly routine was too dark for spring, and the vertical color changes would have been difficult to write on in any color except white (and even then, white on yellow is not a good look). Plus, I mean, the belt. Don't even get me started on that atrocious faux-leather, weathered-gold-hardware'd belt. It might have given me brain damage.

Next week, it looks like we're going to be dressing children. I'm not great lover of kids, but how much the designers are going to crap themselves over this challenge has me looking forward to it nonetheless.

But for some reason, a lot of them didn't. Marie Claire EIC Joanna Coles told them to stay away from pattern, so Amy made a patterned dress. She told them to make a spring look, Seth Aaron made a grey pantsuit. She said that she preferred bright colors, and Jay, Maya, Janeane, and Jesse all made things that were either the color of faded bedsheets or so dark that they might as well have been black. Anna made a pair of pinstriped hip-hugger shorts with a shapeless tank and a vest, showing no awareness of modern fashion OR the fact that she was going to be dressing Heidi Freakin' Klum. Inexplicably, Mila made something that looked like a flesh-toned onesie with vagina arrows, but was somehow just a badly colorblocked dress. Jonathan actually did make a onesie.

The rules for cover clothes are fairly simple: no black, bright colors are preferred, patterns are difficult to print over, detailing should be in the upper part of the dress because mid-thigh and below will probably be cropped out. The producers also added the minimally challenging additional rule that Heidi would be the one wearing the winning dress on the cover of a spring issue. All of these things are guidelines that the average magazine reader could have figured out, given a little time to think, but about half of our designers had some serious problems listening.

Personally, I loved this challenge, even though I didn't love all of the results. It was a great ode to us journalism school hacks and anyone who has ever designed a cover, which I've done a handful of times, even if they were only for my student portfolio. And, well, it's a lot harder than it looks. Finding a font color that's appropriate for writing over a multicolor picture? Surprisingly difficult.

Not that any of this is entirely relevant, but this seemed like such a perfect challenge and several of the designers failed so spectacularly that I'm kind of peeved. Getting clothes into good editorial positions is one of the main business goals of a designer - if our designers can't do that, then they're sunk.

I can understand why maybe Elle wouldn't want to promise a cover spot to a reality show contestant, because Elle is a magazine with a fashion reputation and all. Marie Claire,www.buycheaplouisvuitton4u.com, of course, still has quite a reputation,Chanel Discount Handbags, but not so much as a strictly serious fashion publication. There's less at stake for them in putting an unknown on the cover, and I guess that's exactly how this dear little episode came to be. The request was practical, it still allowed for individuality, and it promised a big reward - this would be great, right? Well, not so much, but let's talk about it anyway.

Why in the world did it take so long for Project Runway to come up with the challenge that we had this week? Why hasn't anyone ever thought of forcing the designers to create a cover look before? They've always has a partnership with one magazine or another, right?

Initially, I was worried that Anthony may not be long for this show, but his progress has been steady and entertaining. Hopefully a win will keep him around for at least a few more episodes. Whacking Jay with his Bible? Pure comedy gold, and I'm not even religious. He's just so endearing, and I find myself wishing they'd give him more and more camera time with each episode. I totally love him, down to the jaunty little blazer he wore for the runway show. I think the overjoyed response to his win from the other designers was a really interesting contrast to how everyone felt about Mila's second-place finish last week. One of these people is well-liked?

Thankfully, Anthony won with his kicky little modern cocktail dress. It had an asymmetrical strap with lots of draping that was somehow also structured, and all of the interesting stuff happened on the part of the dress that will be featured prominently on the magazine cover. Plus, for a blond, blue-eyed supermodel, is there anything better than a curve-hugging, tailored dress in bright turquoise? I think not. His was such an obvious choice that I was surprised that any of the other designers were even seriously considered.

Project Runway: "I blame BeyoncÃ© for everything that goes wrong in my life."Project Runway: "If this was called Project I Didn't Mind It, then he would win."Project Runway: "Yes, I know,www.nfl-jersey.org, I'm always intriguing."Project Runway: "You're really cute, and I like your pants and your sneakers." Project Runway: “Life isn't fair, why should Project Runway be?” - 2012

Now, on to things I loved less - namely, the half of the designers that didn't follow instructions. Mila, Anna and Janeane were the final three, but it really came down to Janeane's mother-of-the-bride under the sea look and Anna's shorts and a tank top. In the grand scheme of fashion editorial, it's more of a sin to dress Heidi Klum like a frumpy teenager than a bridesmaid, so Anna was out. After her red abomination against god that she called a dress last week,NCAA Jersey, I can't say that I disagree with the decision - we've seen all we need to see from her. I predict that Janeane will not last much longer,Louis Vuitton Replica Handbags, but her dress was the lesser offense this week.

Wait, I need to slow my roll a bit. Mila. Speaking of her, she also complained that no one congratulated her on second place the previous week and posited that they were all jealous of her success, but really, it just seemed like she's a bit of a hag to be around and she didn't win anyway, so no fake happiness on the part of the other designers was really required. Maybe she made her horrible dress this week in protest, I'm not sure. Moving on.

I'd like to give a round of applause.I am beyond thrilled to see a new Linea Pelle bag.No, it's more than that.I am so happy to see a new LP bag AND I am equally happy to see a bright and bold color being used!

A single shoulder strap with a 16″ drop is exactly what I think when the term hobo comes to mind.I never understand how a bag is called a hobo with say, a 7″ drop.But, that is neither here nor there.Using silver-tone hardware was definitely the right choice with this shade of blue.I really appreciate the long top-zip closure.This will make it easy to access anything you might have stored in this fabulous bag.Linea Pelle bags are not about bells and whistles.The bags are about fashion,Louis Vuitton Replica Handbags, durability and versatility.I am glad to see the brand sticking to what it is good at while trying some new colors and shapes,Cheap Louis Vuitton handbags! Buy through Bloomingdale's for $345.

Frankly,www.louisvuittonreplicahandbags4u.info, I've never found fault with Linea Pelle bags.I've seen way too many of them and have been pleased each time.But this time, this brilliantly gorgeous blue color has me absolutely fixated and saying "mommy wants".

Ji36y Choo Manda Suede Bag - 2012

In general, I hate being called by nicknames.Mandy.Manda.All kind of annoying,NFL Jersey, all not my name.There have been very few people in my life who have gotten away with calling me either, and no one currently has the privilege.I'd like to keep it that way.I don't mind calling other things by those names, though,Louisvuittonnus.com, and I'm completely fine with the Jimmy Choo Manda Suede Bag.

Navy is dark, but my favorite color to wear in spring and summer is white, and nothing looks better with white than navy.As a result,chanel for sale, it works as a spring bag, even though it's dark and partly suede, and I think that the folks at Jimmy Choo have pulled off a very clever trick by realizing that.Of course, navy also works really well for fall, meaning that a bag like the Manda is one of the few purses I've seen lately that will actually work year-round.It's a bit expensive, but if it's wearable beyond a few months of the year,Chanel outlet, it's money well-spent.Just don't call me Manda.Buy through Net-a-Porter for $1595.

In fact, I can't believe I haven't written about it already.I've expressed previously that I like the way that Choo has mixed leather and suede in many of their recent bags,louis vuitton handbags outlet, and I think a deep color like navy blue demonstrates the difference between the two fabric types to great effect.

[NEWS]Hermes Croc Birkin

The Hermes Birkin is the holy grail of bags. While I feel lucky to own my Hermes Birkin in Blue Jean, it is evident that many are hugely ahead of me when it comes to collecting Hermes bags. As I dream of owning a croc Birkin someday, I find pleasure in drooling over others croc bags. Hermes does crocodile like no other designer, showing perfect attention to detail in every stitch and using the best exotics. A member of our forum, WhiteBirkin, has an astounding Hermes collection. Her two new editions have my heart. She picked up a 30cm Rouge Vif Nilo Birkin and 30cm Blue Jean Porosus Birkin. The Porosus crocodile comes from Australia while the Niloticus crocodile comes from Africa. These crocodiles meet Hermes standards and go on to make the most stunning bags. My only problem is deciding which of these bags I love more, I am stumped!

[NEWS]RHOC- -Big fake diamonds! Maybe Alexis can use one when her ring's in the safe.-

[NEWS]RHOC: "Big fake diamonds! Maybe Alexis can use one when her ring's in the safe."

I've often complained that seasons of Real Housewives have felt interminable in the past, but season seven of Real Housewives of Orange County might be the first run of the show that's actually interminable. Last night's episode was number 18, and it looks as thought we have at least a two-part season finale (and then a reunion, which will surely be at least two parts) before we can stick a fork in this one. It hasn't been a bad season – average-ish, I'd say – but 22 episodes seems excessive, to say the least.

Last night's installment was also sort of average-ish, with no big fights among the Housewives, and in fact, no scenes involving more than one of them at all. That might be a first for the series, actually. Everyone went their separate ways, mostly to deal with their men in one way or another, all the way from getting engaged to buying new teeth. In the grand pantheon of phrases I've written about Real Housewives, I'd say that "buying new teeth" is up there with the weirdest.

We opened at the dentist office, and as it turns out, Brooks is missing teeth. Even if I hadn't disliked Brooks before, I would dislike him now for living up to that very embarrassing southern stereotype, and the fact that he does only makes me more irritated with him. I, for the record, have all of my own teeth, and they are spectacular. And white. And straight! Not all southerners are like that, y'all, and there's absolutely no reason that a grown man with the means to fly himself to California on the regular to see his reality star girlfriend can't deal with his own grill. Unless Vicki's paying for all the flights, of course...

Thankfully, things quickly moved on from Brooks' four remaining yellow teeth to a dinner with Tamra and Eddie to go over the Alexis Intervention in Costa Rica. Tamra halfway feels sorry for Alexis and halfway can't stand her, which more or less sums up my own feelings about Jesus Barbie. After the standard smack-talking, Eddie announced a trip for the two of them to Bora Bora. Tamra seemed genuinely surprised, although I doubt she was, and then she broke what is surely a Housewives production rule and started whooping it up with random restaurant patrons who were enjoying meals at other tables. I like Tamra, but you can't take the trailer park out of the girl, you know?

Suddenly, Tamra and Eddie were in a car to the airport, trying to fend off questions from Gretchen about what they were doing that weekend. Tamra didn't want to tell anyone that she was going on a trip because everyone would assume that she was going to get engaged, and then if she didn't, she'd seem like a giant jackass. And she was right, that's how female friends would react to that news; when our marketing director Hilary got surprised with a trip to Paris last month, the first thing out of my mouth when she told me was that her boyfriend was going to propose. And he did! Of course, when she announced it, instead of saying congratulations, I said "I told ya so." That's sort of the same thing as "congratulations, right?" Sorry, Hilary.

While Tamra braced herself for a proposal coming at any minute, Heather was meeting with an event planner to talk about throwing a name-changing party, which seems kind of contrived to me. Not that all of the parties on this show aren't completely contrived, because they absolutely are, but it still bears saying. The party planner was about as stereotypically OC as you can get – obvious highlights, suggestions about turning Heather's new initials into a Louis Vuitton monogram, a package of edible diamonds in her purse that she wanted to use to bedazzle Heather's cake. Thankfully, Heather vetoed about half of it, but the edible diamonds made the cut. You can't win ‘em all.

We then checked back in with Tamra and Eddie, who had just arrived to an absolutely bonkers villa on stilts in the most beautiful turquoise waters ever. I'm generally jealous of the trips that the Housewives take because they never seem to appreciate how amazing it is to get to go to the places they're going, but Tamra seemed genuinely moved that Eddie (read: the producers)(side note: rumor has it that the trip was originally planned for Slade to propose to Gretchen) had planned such a nice vacation for her. Tamra doesn't think she deserves nice things, and reality TV aside, I think that's a self-esteem issue that a lot of women with similar romantic and familial histories have, and that is sad. Everyone deserves nice things every now and then, and Tamra's one of the only Housewives to express any kind of genuine appreciation for getting to go to places like Bora Bora.

And then, suddenly, things got a little less fairy tale-y, both in Bora Bora and back home. Gretchen saw a text on Slade's phone between him and the jeweler, and she immediately called her dad to interrogate him about whether or not Slade had mentioned a proposal during their bike rides. Dad kept his mouth shut, but that didn't stop Gretchen from confronting Slade directly, because she is a lot of things, but she is definitely not dumb. Also, she is not looking to get proposed to, and everyone knows that.

I'm also aggravated on Tamra's behalf, because at this point, she has cleared the hurdle that Eddie had mentioned to their engagement: she got the tattoo removed from her ring finger. And dudes, if you have a lady who does that for you, you can't plan a surprise trip to a tropical locale shortly thereafter, take her to a romantic, private dinner on the beach and then tell her that you think she's too traditional and that you two should move in together without a ring, even though she told you she didn't want to do that because of her kids. That's just not fair, and it's what motivates your girlfriend to secretly key your car and blame it on neighborhood teenagers. Buy the ring, you jackass.

Tamra gave herself a little pep talk and was feeling like a human being again in time to go scuba diving and look for pearls in clams (sigh), and I caught a little bit more vacation jealousy. The water is just so BLUE, you guys. So blue. Do you know when the last time I went swimming was? The last time I lived in an apartment complex with a swimming pool. So, approximately July 2010. Why can't the American fashion industry be centered in, like, San Diego or something, so I can live there? (Note: That would only make me happy for, say, two months, and then I'd be complaining about wanting to come back to New York where I don't have to see grass.)

And then, of course, we got what we pretty much already knew was coming: Tamra got engaged! Eddie had stuck the ring inside some kind of fake clam for her, and then made her shuck a bunch of other shellfish before he let her have it. And it was a nice ring, too, suitably big for a woman who stars in a reality show about asinine consumerism. Still, though, the rumors that they stepped in to get engaged when Gretchen and Slade bailed on the idea (giving some credence to the thought that Gretchen's trepidation about getting married is genuine and not just a plot point) were a little distracting, even if I am generally happy that Tamra's with someone who is not a total bag of dicks. That's another thing that we all deserve.
