Jenna Dewan’s Loopy Moni Moni Cascade Bag

I like it when celebrity gossip sites identify the clothes and accessories celebrities are wearing in paparazzi pictures because it makes things a whole lot easier. Jenna Dewan for example, was seen shopping with husband Channing Tatum last Sunday while carrying a Moni Moni Cascade Bag:

This is Jenna Dewan’s bag by the way, in “Fauve”:

Jenna Dewan’s exact color isn’t available anymore but they do have it in black. This bag retails for $550.00 at MoniMoni.com.

Although finding a similar alternative to this bag is a bit difficult, it does remind me of a few bags we’ve featured here on Fringe Handbags before.

First is the Cleobella Alive Fringe Tote Kim Kardashian is modelling in this post. It’s got the similar taupe color and the same all-over fringe placement.

Second is the flap fringe bags from Bulga Handbags. The Bulga Handbags don’t have fringe loops, but they do have swathes of fabric covering the front and back of the bags.

Lastly, it reminds me of the Latico Le Cirque Leather Fringe Clutch but ONLY because of the fringe loops and nothing else. The fringe loops on the Moni Moni bag look buttery soft while the fringe loops on the Latico Le Cirque clutch looks like they’ve gone haywire.

Fringe loops on handbags is starting to grow on me but I still have that fear of them getting caught on door handles and what not while I’m using one. Maybe if they were shorter like on this Betsey Johnson Looped Together Drawstring Bag:

But I guess you lose the beautiful cascading effect.

The Betsey Johnson Looped Together Drawstring Bag is $332.00 and comes in black, pink and white at Zappos.com.

Dainty Taylor Swift with the Dainty Gerard Darel Floral Besace Pom Bag

I’ve seen the Gerard Darel Besace Pom Bag on other celebrities before, but I only took notice of it when I saw it on Taylor Swift. Other celebs have it in plain black, brown or grey, but Taylor Swift, sweet as she is, chose the floral version. It looks like it was made just for her:

I adore Taylor Swift in these looks she paired with her Gerard Darel Floral Besace Pom Bag. I love that she also wore floral dresses with her floral bag. The floral on floral look would be serious overkill on other celebs, but floral prints on country cutie Taylor Swift? The two go together like peanut butter and jelly.

The Gerard Darel Besace Pom Bag retails for a whopping $710.00, not to mention that it’s sold out everywhere. Good thing that there are tons of pretty floral bags available online, and here are five I chose that are just as dainty and as sweet as Taylor Swift’s:

Clockwise from top: Betsey Johnson Glitzy Floral Large Shopper, $160.00 (was $302.00). Lucky Brand Hightime Embroidered Leather Tote, $159.00 (was $198.95). Roxy Petticoat Shoulder Bag, $45.00 (was $50.00). OGIO Tote Handbag, $74.00. Lucky Brand Sand Play Tropical Shadow Canvas Bag, $78.95.

Mother’s day is already next week you guys! Have you bought a gift for her yet?

If you’re procrastinating and haven’t even thought about it yet, then a handbag is your best bet. Think about it: you don’t have to fuss about size (unlike clothes), you don’t have to worry about whether it fits or not (unlike shoes), and you don’t have to be concerned about whether it’s good for her skin type or it’s going to make her break out in rashes (like some lotions, creams, or certain types of food do)!

A handbag is a surefire gift for mother’s day. And of course, because we are Fringe Handbags, we’re going to recommend that you gift her with a clutch, a purse, or a tote with our favorite embellishment.
