FENDI'S ICONIC DR B BAG

Like me-you probably fell in love with the Dr B in this fall's ad but then I saw it in mustard(not to mention cranberry). But it was the mustard that defined this season's color palette for me-its perfect for my new MK brocade skirt and varsity sweater. Gorgeous. I love the way the purse opens-carrys everything. I love, love, love it!!

COMMON SENSE

I've always been a fan of Common-the multi-talented lyricist, hip-hop artist turned actor but when I read his interview in the August 2008 edition of ELLE in which he said the first thing he noticed about a woman's clothes was her purse, I realized he understands women. "If a woman's purse is wack-she's wack". I couldn't agree more.

ANKLE BOOTS RETURN FOR FALL

..WITH A SEXY, POLISHED EDGE IN A VARIETY OF HUES THAT COORDINATE WITH THE IT COLORS-PURPLE, GRAY, CHOCOLATE, TRUE RED, OLIVE AND GOLD. I'M IN. CAN I SEE A SHOW OF HANDS?

BEYONCE 'S GREAT LOOK

Beyonce styling around with her Fendi "To You" bag- she is shown here in head-to-toe black allowing her gorgeous bag and it's beautiful colors to eloquently speak for itself. Kudos-to you-Beyonce.

DOESN'T SHE OWN HER OWN PURSE COMPANY?

Nicki Hilton spotted all around town-many days, many outfits but always the same purse lately. Seems she can't get enough of her Fendi B bag. She's got "Fendi-itis" for which, alas, there is no cure. Except to buy more. I should know.

FAMILY REUNION FOR THE 4TH IN JACKSONVILLE

We had a fabulous time in Jacksonville which has come a long way as a city in the last few years (hmm..time for a Fendi store?). I got a chance to use several of my Fendis...everyone loved them. Here I am with my cousin Ryan (who I love!) and we celebrated his graduation (he's off to medical school!). My zucca "Chef" bag hit just the right note with the college crowd!

RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU LOVE SAMANTHA'S FENDI

When I saw this gorgeous red Fendi ' Bag du Jour' in the movie trailer I know I would love it(the movie and the bag!). My hat's off to SJP and Patricia Fields..both of whom LOVE Fendi just like I do.

CARRIE LOVES FENDI

I saw the SATC movie 4 times and I was still spotting Fendi's..purses, shoes and belts. SJP has been very upfront in her love of Fendi..helping to make the Fendi baguette the IT bag 10 years ago..she is proving why she is so loyal. Fendi simply steals the show!

WHY BUY ONE?

• 

It's timeless yet modern..classic yet flirty. The Fendi baguette that is..first I bought the light pink..then the hot pink. By July I bought them all. The way I see it-it is an investment that never goes out of style..I can dress it up or down.
