Even George Clooney has “ugly” days.
Okay, gorgeous George is not ugly, but he is looking a little rough around the edges, right? He showed up at the Venice Film festival with this beard and those bags. Methinks he needs to hit his home in Lake Como for some R&R after he’s done promoting Michael Clayton.

Your shoulder is begging for a much-needed break. Considering your idea of packing light could use a little work, give it a rest and your wrist a little workout with this slick Dior Vinyl Cannage “D” Clutch. This swingy bag does double duty - it’s part wristlet, part clutch. I love the look of the leather bands weaving their way through grommets and adding some contrasting decoration to the shiny leather. The purse is just spacious enough to hold a few basic essentials, which means you’ll have to make do without your usual load. All the better to get your shoulder back in working order. Available for $530 at eLuxury.

Whoa, Fergie - easy on the bright yellow, green, and purple color combinations. Some of us have sensitive eyes here! PopSugar has posted more photos of Fergie’s new handbag line for Kipling, including this purple tote with black trim and the blue and green checked bag underneath. Thoughts? I guess Fergie’s target audience is a lot younger than I am, because the bold colors and materials are too young and funky for me - I’m suddenly reminded of The Joker from Batman. The bags are punchy and trendy, but not what I’d call chic.

Everywhere I look there’s a photo of some celebrity carrying a Gustto purse, and looking at this Large Cala Bag, I can see why the label is quickly becoming one of the new “it” handbag designers. In a word, this oversized black leather carryall is edgy. The gold logo disc hanging from the front adds a nice, exotic jolt of brightness (makes me think of ancient Greece), and the leather pleating and braided handles show impressive craftsmanship. We’ve seen a million black leather bags, but somehow this manages to stand out on its own.

Gwen Stefani’s secondary line inspired by the funky fashions of Japan’s Harajuku district now has bags. This small Juku Bag collection features black and white graphics of little fashionistas with a lot of attitude. The handbags are sporty, with a retro 80’s slant. Hate the word ‘retro’? Don’t worry, most of this label’s fans are probably not old enough to remember the trends of the 1980’s, so this is all fresh and new.
