Deux Lux Luella Bags: Affordable Luxury

If you can’t afford the iconic woven Bottega Veneta, what bag would you buy in its place? I think I might just have the right answer for you. Check out these woven bags from Deux Lux.

They have the look of a Bottega without the price of one. Although, I honestly don’t  know if they will feel as expensive as a Bottega because the bags are made from faux leather. But hey, so what, right? They look expensive and they serve the same purpose. Besides, a piece will only cost you a fraction of how much a Bottega would normally cost.

Now if it’s a Bottega you want and you have the money for it, then you shouldn’t be reading this article. You should be checking BlueFly.com‘s inventory of Bottega bags or visiting BottegaVeneta.com for the latest styles.

Celebrity of the Day: Kate Bosworth

Here’s Kate Bosworth looking perfect for the July summer weather.

The picture was taken when the stylish celeb was spotted heading to a 4th of July party last Sunday (July 4).  You know what I like about Kate? She always looks effortlessly stylish, even if it’s just a casual get up. Always. She also exudes grace, which is something I really admire.

If you look at the pieces she is wearing, they’re not that extraordinary. But together, they work. The dress is quite simple, but looks great against her skin and hair (not to mention, very appropriate for the season). The necklace is a nice touch; the shades make her look extra cool; and the woven bag is simply perfect. It completes the whole look like it’s meant to be.

Guess which bag made a cameo appearance in Jennifer Lopez’s recent movie, The Back Up Plan? It’s the Diane Von Furstenberg Stephanie Slouchy Bag.

JLo’s character, Zoe, was spotted wearing this woven baby in these scene stills.

I initially thought she was carrying the Stephanie Shoulder Bag version but after seeing the side view angle (first picture), I realized she was carrying the Stephanie Slouchy Bag.

The Stephanie Slouchy Bag is a slightly larger (14″x20″) version of the Stephanie Medium Hobo (12″x17″), which we spotted on Sophia Bush a few months ago (click here to read article).
