Hold Everything!

The bag that's been with us every day for the past six months? Not to sound ungrateful, but lately it's started to bore us a bit. And while we're not saying we're ready to blow it off entirely, we've decided it's time for us to take a break. What attractive newcomers are turning our heads? We've got a major crush on Jack Rabbit Collection's vintage elegance and Muxo's luxe hippie look, and new posh yet practical styles from established favorites Cynthia Rowley and Rebecca Minkoff show it's possible to carry everything but the kitchen sink and still look stylish. Ready for a new bag BFF? Get yours, right here at shopbop.

I Spy: shopbop Fashion Sighted

It happened with the music featured on The O.C. Now? It’s the fashion on Gossip Girl. For some reason (Aliens? Vitamin boosts?), Josh Schwartz’s hit TV shows inspire some intense trend-spotting. I still have Imogen Heap and Death Cab CDs laying around, but nowadays I’m having a blast spotting shopbop looks on the fictional Upper East Side.

Recently, the GG girls have been all about Foley + Corinna handbags. Check out the fuchsia City Clutch that hung on Jenny’s arm as she planned her first party and learned the truth about her boyfriend in the episode “All About My Brother.”

You know you love it.

XOXO!

Bold Shoes + Bags to Bring Your Summer Look Together

Much as we love the ease of summer dressing - little tees and tops, flirty frocks, and pedicure-baring flip-flops - sometimes we start to feel a little, well, bored by it all. And that's where brilliant bags and shoes from the likes of LeSportsac, Lauren Merkin, and L.A.M.B. come to the rescue. A quirky-sweet floral tote and patent flats add polish to an easy daytime look, while a structured clutch and retro-chic sandals take the little sundress to a chic new level. Bold shoes and bags that take your summer look from "meh" to magnificent? Find them right here, at shopbop.

First Fashion: The Best of What’s New

Countless examples of modern chic arrive at shopbop every day, and we’d be doing you a disservice if we didn’t tell you we find a few eye-catching standouts to covet each and every one of those days. That’s why we’re bringing you First Fashion, your morning look at our favorites in What’s New. Have some style with your coffee.

Today, three equally snazzy pieces have caught my eye:

As I’ve mentioned before, I’m a little handbag obsessed or, more specifically, ridiculous-to-the-point-of-embarrassment obsessed. I embrace it, and this little wonder is a perfect example why. The subtly distressed leather will wear so well, and it’s even big enough to carry my laptop. (Foley + Corinna Savvy Tourista Bag, in Dark Brown)

This year has marked a real movement toward eco-friendly fashion, and I hope it turns into a long-term trend. Signs it’ll stick are good when big names like Theory take on the cause. Their organic linen line is as fantastically classic as it is earth friendly, which translates to very. (Theory Organic Linen Tendreil Dress, in Natural)

The first suede item of the pre-fall season has arrived at shopbop, and I’ve been waiting for this day since the fall shows in February. I’m already working on figuring out a way to work these gorgeous pumps into my current repertoire. Oh, and the deep plum color? Divine. (Kate Spade Karolina Suede Pump, in Plum)

Bag Obsessed

We admit it: We're handbag junkies. Leather, canvas, nylon, we love them all. Our closet is neatly divided with clothes and shoes on one side and gloriously beautiful bags on the other. The brand fueling this obsession? Marc by Marc Jacobs. Because from wallets to clutches, shoulder bags to totes, weekenders to wheelies, Marc has the bags we live to wear. So go ahead. Indulge your desires with Marc by Marc Jacobs and shopbop.

Summery Canvas Bags with a Chic Sensibility

We've always liked the idea of a summery canvas bag in theory, but in practice? We're often disappointed. This one's too beachy and that one's too boring, too cutesy, too casual, too geriatric, and so on. But this season designers are putting a sophisticated spin on canvas. Witness Foley + Corinna's smart, patent-trimmed canvas Jetsetter Jr., Kale's brilliant marriage of burlap and metallic, the Palmer bag, and MICHAEL by Michael Kors' sporty-meets-posh Hamptons tote. Summery canvas bags with a chic sensibility? Get yours right here, at shopbop.

What Does Your Bag Say About You?

Who am I? Some study the works of ancient philosophers for the answer to this age-old question, but if you’re like us, you prefer a shortcut. So here it is: if you want to know who you are, you need only look as far as your handbag. What does your bag say about you? Find out in the latest edition of the Style File.

You’ll also find...
* The best bathing suit for your bod.
* Anna Sui, now at shopbop.
* Our staff is ga-ga for Golden Goose.
* Summer sunglasses in the Designer Boutique.

It’s all in the Style File. Check it out today.

Stunning Handbags to Define Your Style

The bag you choose to carry defines your style. Silver clutch? You've got party-girl sass on the mind. Bright yellow satchel? You're feeling a little playful. Basic black tote with a few embellishments? You want classic yet unique. It's an important choice, but it doesn't have to be a difficult one. We've made it easy by putting the hottest totes, clutches, duffels, and shoulder bags from Mayle, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Foley + Corinna, and more all in one place. And if you're looking for the uber-chic (what girl isn't?), we've got luxe creations from Temperley London and Derek Lam, too. There's nothing left to do but shop. Find your handbag chic, at shopbop.
