We found three top handle bags from Aldo that looks chic enough to be carried from day to night.

The bags all have the same silhouette and tassels on the flap, but they come in different colors and textures. The first bag is the ideal work bag because of the versatility of the color.

Aldo Cyphert Bag

It is made of synthetic leather. It has a flat bottom, a flap, and a top handle. The flat has tassels hanging from gold tone hardware. The bag closes with a magnetic lock.

This is the kind of bag that doesn’t just work as a trend, it’s a bag that transcends seasons and trends.

The bag can also be carried like a crossbody bag with the removable strap:

Aldo Cyphert

The two other bags from Aldo have the same shape but they are considered different models because of the materials.

Aldo Brisbois

The Brisbois is also made of synthetic leather but it has soft shearling along the trim. It is $ 13 inches wide at the bottom, 12 inches wide in the middle and 12 inches wide at the top. It is 9 1/2 inches high. This bag is slightly bigger than the Cyphert.

Aldo Opdyke

The Opdyke has the same size as the Cyphert but it has a faux fur on the flap.

The bags are not exactly $40 as we put on the title, they are $ 40.50 from 6PM. Aldo bags are also available in Zappos.

Jessica’s bag does not have fringe all over it, but it does have very long zipper ...]]> Jessica Alba dresses nicely for the most random activities in her life. The actress went grocery shopping with her family earlier this month and she wore a great pair of boots and carried a nice leather bag to the store.

Jessica’s bag does not have fringe all over it, but it does have very long zipper pulls that also serve as the bag’s accent.

The following Alexander McQueen Shopper bags from Zappos have the same shape as Jessica’s bag. They also have long zipper pulls which we’d be happy to consider as fringe detailing just so we can feature them here on the blog. LOL.

The first bag is a simpler version of Jessica’s bag.

Alexander McQueen Folk Small Shopper

The bag is now on sale for $ 1,077.99 . It is a relatively small shopper bag that is made of leather.

Here are the bag’s dimension:

• Bottom Width: 13 in
• Middle Width: 14 in
• Top Width: 15 ¹⁄₂ in
• Depth: 5 ¹⁄₄ in
• Height: 9 ¹⁄₂ in

The bag has two top handles and an attachable long strap so you can carry it without using your hands.

The next bag is the same bag but with stud detailing.

Alexander McQueen Folk Shopper with Studs

Despite the additional stud detailing, this bag is now cheaper than the plain shopper bag. It is already heavily discounted and is available in Zappos for 1,022.99. This bag is slightly smaller than the first one.

• Bottom Width: 13 in
• Middle Width: 13 ¹⁄₂ in
• Top Width: 13 ¹⁄₂ in
• Depth: 5 in
• Height: 9 ¹⁄₂ in

Both bags have external zipper pockets.

Because the event was the hottest ...]]> Once again, this year’s Fashion’s Night Out held last September 8, proved to be a thrilling collaborative event. The annual global shopping party had hundreds of retailers, celebrities, and fashion labels staging events and participating. It was a night to celebrate fashion, and boost brands, as well as the economy.

Because the event was the hottest one this season, celebrities and non-celebrities attended the festivities in their most interesting fashion choices.

Here are five fashionable fringe clutches that are very pretty, they would’ve made great Fashion’s Night Out accessories:

1. Motif 56 June- this chic woven clutch made of luxurious leather is from Zappos. It retails for $187. The clutch can hold all your basic necessities such as lipstick, credit card, keys, mobile phone, and cash.  It’s a versatile piece with flap closure that can work in both day and night.

2. Christian Audigier Twiggy Clutch- the clutch is available in 6PM for $117. It’s a clutch made of synthetic leather with a bit of an edge with the fringe and the metal details. The clutch can also works as a chic shoulder bag. The front of the bag has a pocket with flap closure. The top closes with a zip.

3. Whiting and Davis Vintage Look Chain Fringe Bag- This cute clutch with a short strap is lightweight at just 8 oz. The bag is made of plated brass mesh. It exudes a vintage vibe. You can get the clutch from eBags for just $114.50.

5. Badgley Mischka Debbie Beaded- this last fringe clutch is definitely not the least attractive among the five. It is from Zappos. It sells for $375. The bag is made of silk with beads all over. It can be converted into a crossbody bag with a sleek strap. The bag has fringe on the sides.

Sure the FNO is already finished, but we’re sure you have parties and other interesting places to go to. A good fringe clutch can be a great addition to your closet because of the appeal they add to a look.

Not very surprising, really, considering that they seem to have been painting Paris red these past few ...]]> What better place to show the world that you’re in love than in the romantic streets of Paris? Isn’t that right, Ryan Seacrest and Julianne Hough?

Ryan Seacrest and Julianne Hough are pretty much in the news these days. Not very surprising, really, considering that they seem to have been painting Paris red these past few days. Ryan and Julianne spent the Thanksgiving holiday season touring the streets of Paris with Ryan’s mom, dad, and sister. Check out one of the many photos taken of them:

Julianne Hough and Ryan Seacrest with Ryan's Family in Paris during Thanksgiving 2010.

Looks like love, isn’t it? Moving on… Let’s now focus our attention on Julianne’s ensemble .

Nice, eh? Yes, I think she looked quite chic here, like a true Parisian fashionista. My personal favorites are the coat, fedora, and the gorgeous fringe handbag. They all look fashionable. I’m especially digging the fringe handbag, which I’ve learned is a Hugo Boss Boho Fringe Shoulder Bag by Boss Orange. It’s a little bit on the pricey side, though, because it currently costs $657.00. So if you want a more affordable version of Julianne’s fringe handbag, check this out:

Hype Black Leather 'Natasha' Fringe Hobo, $164.80

This is the Hype Black Leather ‘Natasha’ Fringe Crossbody Hobo, which sells for only $164.80 at Bluefly.com. It’s so affordable since Bluefly.com is currently having a 10-20% off that lasts until today only. So grab yours now before the day ends.

Another alternative is this Hype Black Leather Fringe “Ellie” Large Tote, also available at Bluefly.com for the same price. It’s very trendy and also available in grey.

Hype Ellie Large Tote, $164.80

If you love Julianne Hough’s coat and fedora, here they are:

Elie Tahari Drew Coat and Bop Basics Small Brim Fedora

The coat is an Elie Tahari Drew Coat, which you can get at Zappos.com for $648.00, while you can grab a Bop Basics Small Brim Fedora at Shopbop.com for only $78.00.

Australian supermodel Jessica Hart was spotted out and about in West Village in New York City last August 29, 2010. She was dressed down in a plain grey maxi dress and Converse sneakers but check out what she was toting around – a super cute pocket-sized dog! :

Too cute!

Jessica Hart’s other accessory, her tie-dye bag with fringes, isn’t half-bad either:

Jessica Hart’s tie-dye fringe bag

I like that the short fringes are limited to the flap of the bag. The bag is tie-dyed already so if the fringes were longer or placed all over, then the bag would be bordering campy.

Jessica Hart’s bag hasn’t been ID’ed yet but check out these 3 tie-dye fringe bags to wear this end of summer:

Clockwise from top: Big Buddha Coachella, $82.95; Rebecca Minkoff Blue Rocker Tie Dye Zipper Detail Shoulder Bag, $117.00; Lucky Brand Drifter Small Tie Dye Fabric Crossbody Pouch, $47.40

These would be the perfect way to kiss summer goodbye!

Their most recent QT (quality time) activity together was shopping up a storm at Neiman Marcus where the pair perused the collections at the shoe department:

Interesting mix of the mustard yellow pants with the red bag Miss Duff! I’m personally not a fan of putting those two colors together but at least Hilary Duff wore them with solid blacks and whites.

Let’s take a closer look at that bag:

At first I couldn’t place Hilary Duff’s red bag but the gold triangular zipper pulls helped ID it.

Hilary Duff is carrying the Cherry Large Slouchy Leather Bag from See by Chloe:

You can purchase this bag for $655.00 at Net-A-Porter.com.

You can get the smaller and shallower version of this bag at Zappos.com:

Zappos also has the cross body style:

It looks like they had a great time relaxing, learning how to surf and spending time on the beach and all, but what was that tan cross body flap bag ...]]> Anyone who follows celebrity gossip websites would know by now that long time Hollywood couple Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens spent last week vacationing in Hawaii.

It looks like they had a great time relaxing, learning how to surf and spending time on the beach and all, but what was that tan cross body flap bag Vanessa Hudgens was seen using all throughout their Hawaii escapade?

Vanessa Hudgens before and after vacation photos with a tan cross body flap bag

I did some sleuthing again and thanks to another hi-res photo from a Vanessa Hudgens fan site, a close-up of the tag on Vanessa’s bag revealed that it’s from Cole Haan.

It was easy enough to find after that and I’ve ID’ed Vanessa Hudgens’ tan cross body flap bag with side fringe tassels as the Cole Haan Raleigh Whipstitch Small Crossbody Flap:

Cole Haan Raleigh Whipstitch Small Crossbody Flap in Woodbury Nubuck

This luxe crossbody flap bag is made out of pebbled nubuck and the whipstitching was made entirely by hand. It’s a perfect match for Vanessa Hudgen’s boho chic style and would be great for travelling or for just running to the store like how Vanessa uses it.

If you want the exact color of Vanessa Hudgens bag, Endless.com has it for $298.00. If you want other colors, Zappos.com has three and they’re also offering better deals on them. They have the Black color which is going for $238.40, the Postman Blue Nubuck for $183.45, and a nice bright Lemon color priced the cheapest at just $169.00.

Looks like Vanessa Hudgens has found a new favorite handbag brand in Cole Haan!

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden stop by at Fred Segal in LA to pick up a ...]]> Nicole Richie was seen out with husband Joel Madden for a shopping trip in West Hollywood, CA  last Sunday. She looked like a 70s flower child in her flared jeans, an embroidered silk jacket and carrying a suede fringe bag:

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden stop by at Fred Segal in LA to pick up a few purchases on August 15, 2010

Nicole Richie may look vintage but her outfit actually consists of some of the latest releases from expensive premium brands and designer labels. Nicole is wearing the $78 Clementine Camisole and the $215 Himalaya Jacket from her own Winter Kate Line, a pair of $190 Paige Premium Laurel Canyon Jeans, and is carrying – hold on to your seats – the $2,200 Thomas Wylde Ibiza Suede Bag.

What she’s wearing in these pictures costs more than my entire wardrobe put together!

Here’s a closer look at the Thomas Wylde Ibize Suede Bag:

It’s an exquisite fringe handbag, but do you think using that many embellishments (beads, metal plate, suede fringe, silver fringe and god knows what else) make this bag worth $2,200?

If Nicole Richie paid full price for this bag then she’s really getting her money’s worth out of it: she’s been seen using this bag since last year, around the time she was still pregnant with her second child, Sparrow James.

Here are 4 fringe cross body bags that would give me Nicole Richie’s look and they don’t go anywhere near the $1,000 mark:

Clockwise from top left: Hurley Venue Shoulder Bag, $32.20; Lucky Brand Get Laced Fringe Crossbody, $99.00; Wendy Nichol Elk Fringe Satchel, $628.00; Minnetonka Cross Body Fringe Bag, $49.95

I could’ve gone lower with these and said none of these hit the $100 mark, but I just couldn’t resist the Wendy Nichol fringe satchel! Too cute!

Ke$ha and new boyfriend Alex Carapetis at the Music Cafe at the Hard Rock Hotel in Chicago during the Lollapalooza Music Festival on August 6, 2010

Ke$ha and new boyfriend Alex Carapetis at the Music Cafe at the Hard Rock Hotel in Chicago during the Lollapalooza Music Festival on August 6, 2010

It also looks like Ke$ha has got herself a new fringe bag at the event too and that we got ourselves another fringe handbag celebrity fan:

Ke$ha poses with her new tan fringe bag while getting her hair did

I’m a bit confused though. The picture above clearly shows that Ke$ha has an embroidered tan fringe sling bag, but this next picture shows that it’s also a pouch bag with a furry white tassel keychain:

Another view of Ke$ha’s bag or another one of Ke$ha’s fringe bags?

Is Ke$ha’s bag a mishmash of two handbag styles or is Ke$ha carrying two totally different bags?

I’m going to need more pictures and I will be looking for more, but before I do that, let me leave you with these 4 boho fringe bags that could be Ke$ha’s own bag if they were all mixed up together:

1. Lucky Brand Get Laced Fringe Crossbody, $98.95
2. Free People Festival Beaded Pouch, $168.00
3. Free People Suede Medicine Bag, $68.00
4. The Sak Freebird Spirited Small Drawstring, $35.99

Ke$ha’s sure got a knack for wearing clothes and accessories that are hard to identify!

July 25, 2010 – Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan go ...]]> 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:

July 25, 2010 – Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan go shopping at La Maison de Fashion in Los Angeles, CA

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

Moni Moni Cascade Bag

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.
