I spy with my little eye…ooh: a fabulous Yigal Azrouel leather jacket, Jimmy Choo for Hunter patent leather wellies, and a massive black Balenciaga handbag. Well done, Hilary Duff — you’ve scored a fashion hat trick. The fedora-wearing starlet hit the streets in her high fashion get-up, looking perfectly polished and stylish without being too “look at me, I’m wearing head-to-toe designer gear.” Nicely done.

Pssst. Did you hear about the “Gossip Girl” bad girl with a fabulous handbag? Michelle Trachtenberg hit the airport with a beautiful rich green Balenciaga purse. Sure, every starlet and her mom has a Balenciaga, but the emerald hue really sets this one apart. Bonus points for the cute striped scarf.

The design of this tote bag is simple and practical, and I like the calm Prussian blue color.

This Square Classic bag of Balenciaga’s 09 Spring collection is low-keyed and modest, compared with other eye-catching bags of Balenciaga bags . There is nothing especially dazzling about this tote bag, but it is the simplicity and practicality that attract me, and the tassels save it from being boring, a good try.
