If you regularly consume celebrity media, you’re probably aware that Katie Holmes has been in New York City for about a week. There’s no sign of Tom, but Katie, Suri and Katie’s mom have been up and down this tiny island what seems like a million times. On the five-block trip home from my grocery store last Tuesday, I got caught in their paparazzi scrum on 3rd Avenue. It was something to behold, and I felt a little bit bad for Suri. That’s why I’ve chosen some pictures of Katie [...]

After writing for this site for a couple of years, I’ve gotten used to what kinds of handbags most major stars carry. Some choose things that are obvious and trendy, others choose more restrained options that are still clearly from a major designer, and others still totally stump me. Usually Kate Holmes falls into the middle category – her bags are usually well-tailored to her personal style, but anyone who follows the accessories world closely would be able to tell you what she was carrying at any given time. As [...]

I’m not a personal fan of Valextra’s handbags; they may be well-made and luxurious, but I’ve often felt that for the same money, you can get something of the same quality that has a more interesting (and equally timeless) design. Of course, I’m not Valextra’s target customer, so that might have something to do with my lukewarm feelings toward the brand’s products. Katie Holmes, on the other hand, is much closer to Valextra’s ideal audience and has a very notable admiration for the brand’s products. In these photos, Katie’s carrying [...]

Back in my middle school days, I would have never guessed that the young actress I loved on Dawson’s Creek would grow up to collaborate on a high-end handbag line that I’d eventually write about, but I guess life is funny that way. Katie Holmes has done quite a bit of growing up since then, although it bears mentioning that she doesn’t look like she’s aged a bit, and she has a brand new fashion line with stylist and friend Jeanne Yang that is called, appropriately, Holmes & Yang. This [...]

Is the Balenciaga Matelasse Satchel coming back? I’m not aware of any impending return, but we all know that Katie Holmes is not one to carry a bag from years gone by, so seeing her out and about with her family and a several-years-old quilted brown Balenciaga is enough to make me ask the question. The bag isn’t the only thing that struck me as odd about these photographs, though. First, that’s some awkward hand-holding, you guys. Not a great way to shrug off the arranged-marriage rumors! Second, the outfit. [...]

Oh, dear. As much as I think Katie Holmes’ hair and makeup look kind of cute in these photos from the New York premiere of The Extra Man, I can’t heap much praise on the rest of her look. Her navy and red Celine shirtdress might have been adorable for a quick run to the grocery store with some fun flats, but for an evening event in New York City involving a red carpet and photographers? No way. Not even close. Not only that, but she didn’t even take a [...]

Despite the wonky crotch situation happening in a few of these photos, doesn’t Katie Holmes look kind of…fantastic? High-waist, wide-leg jeans with a tucked-in plaid shirt and 70s style sunglasses isn’t a combination that I would recommend to, well, anyone, but somehow she’s making it all work. If you ignore the crotch issues, that is. She’s got a serious retro look going on here, and I think that she picked her grey Lanvin Quilted Happy Shoulder Bag to coordinate with it perfectly. The zigzag quilting is reminiscent of the same [...]

I have no great love for either Kate Holmes or Tom Cruise (in fact, I kind of hate Tom for various reasons that aren’t particularly well thought-out, just like most celebrity hatred), but if I could get some sort of promise from the universe that if I had a child, it would look like Suri Cruise, I would start trying to get pregnant tomorrow. I don’t even like kids, but this little bambino makes my uterus ache to have children. That’s no small feat. As a consolation prize for not [...]

Ok, so we’ve been sitting on these images of Katie Holmes for a while now – thus the snow. But, part of the reason I haven’t shared these yet is because I just can’t seem to figure out what the heck Katie is carrying here. Even readers on the PurseForum were stumped and usually at least one handbag guru can ID when we can’t. So, please, HALP, what’s Katie carrying? While I don’t know what Katie carried, she certainly looked rather fierce while attending the Sundance Film Festival. There is [...]

Now these pictures are a breath of fresh air. I love when I get to see a super popular and well known family looking and acting, “normal”. We all know that Katie Holmes, Tom Cruise and Suri Cruise can’t go anywhere with out the paparazzi following close behind. Tom is one of the most highly sought after actors and Katie is not only an actress she is also quite the fashionista. Speaking of fashionistas, Suri is becoming one too! Katie recently reported that Suri picks out her own clothes… even [...]

My goodness! When did Suri Cruise get so big? When did her hair get so long? How old is she now? I think that the last time I saw her, she was legitimately a toddler, where have they been hiding her? Or, rather, where have I been hiding myself? Mom Katie Holmes is also looking slightly less like a prisoner of war in these photos than she usually does, perhaps because Tom is nowhere to be found. But, hey, that’s just a theory. She’s carrying a Valextra Babila Tote, which [...]

This is the second time we’ve covered Katie Holmes toting her beloved Valextra Slim Shopping Bag in white pergamena, but this time her outfit has turned a swift 180. Last time we covered Katie, the bag served to fancy up her simple sweater and American Apparel sweatpants ensemble. Here, though, we see Valextra in its element. The brand is synonymous with minimalism in its extremely well made, sleekly leathered bags and accessories, and this getup totally showcases that. The black of her dress and pants, cream of that gorgeous coat, [...]
