The most distinctive aspect of Marc Jacobs' Spring-Summer 2010 line of women's wallets are the deep, rich leather colors concocted by the celebrated designer. From the vibrant blue and red violets of the Totally Flap Turnlock Wallet to the stylish mustard yellow of the New Q Solid Long Wallet, the goal is to boldly accent the rest of a gal about town's warm-weather wardrobe. Even the crocodile print black patent leather Key Pouch offered up by Jacobs for the Spring-Summer season is embroidered with a striking, center-stitched purple brand-name tag.


A more playful mood imbues some of Jacobs' Fall-Winter 2010 women's wallets. For example, the Dove and Cloud Key Pouch features a simple yet striking collage of red, gold, beige and purple cut-out shapes, while another Untitled wallet presents the rounded shape of a cute kitten's head, complete with pointy ears and mismatched, gold-accented eyes. Think of it as Jacobs' cheeky take on the Hello Kitty line.

Very few men look to carry their cash and credit cards in something with a feline theme, so - as is to be expected - the Marc Jacobs men's wallets embrace more traditional colors and shapes. It is hard to go wrong with the Simple Leather American model, a four-and-a-half-inch wide, two-ounce waxed leather classic that comes in Nero black.

That same sort of simplicity is something women often look for when selecting a travel wallet. A Marc Jacobs favorite in this realm are the very affordable Color Block Billfolds; although shaped like a standard rectangular wallet, they come in a kaleidoscope of kooky two-tone colors such as aquamarine blue with yellow interior accents.

Jacobs' flair as a designer is evident throughout this corner of the wallet catalog, right down to the product names. The Shiny Punk Wallet, made from a black PVU-PVC blend, comes with the choice of a strap in neon pink, orange, purple, blue or green. The Mirror Heart Small Pouch meanwhile is an adorable, leather-lined carry case with a zipper along the top. Along with signature MJ initials, this item can once again be had in an array of arresting colors, including metallic gold or silver.

It is important to remember that fashion should be fun.  There are a lot of people who get pretty serious about their fashion.  Of course, some people invest an awful lot of money into staying on fashion's cutting edge too.  Whether it is designer purses and handbags, designer clothing or some other area of fashion, you never really know what you are going to get next.  Seriously, look at what the 80's brought.  Who ever would have predicted THAT?

I found this fun old video showing some predictions for fashions of the future.  They were trying to guess what things would look like in the year 2000, and they made a couple of pretty good guesses to be honest.  Not much mention of purses.  I wonder if they thought they'd be obsolete.  I hope you like this!

It's a big deal when Fashion Week comes.  This is a video that was recently posted from Chic.tv about Fashion Week 2010.  I figured some visitors might like to take a look at some of the newest and hottest fashions.  I don't think these really will fit in to the budgets of anyone looking for "cheap" anything, but hey, it can still be fun to watch!

Simon Doonan also offers his Fashion Week survival tips.  You can take that for what it's worth.

I've got to admit that I have been spending a lot of time checking out things on Youtube more than I did previously.  I started finding a lot of really great fashion show videos while I was looking at videos about purses and handbags.  I thought I'd show off a few as I found them just to give readers a look at the hottest fashions.  Of course for most of these you'll want a fabulous purse or handbag as an accessory, but just have fun enjoying the videos if you like!

This is a video of from Nylon TV about Fashion Week.  It shows off the Preen Spring and Summer fashion show for 2010. The title of the video says 2009 and the video itself says 2010 in its title shot.
