We caught up with Tracy at the show's opening night on Thursday and spent some time enjoying her unique work: the show is open to the public at Gallery Different in London until tomorrow.

Feathers are big business in accessories at the moment, but if you can't stretch to River Island's other piece of plumed arm candy (that being the bag we all lusted over at Fashion Week) these miniature semi-naturalistic bird bags are a fun alternative. http://www.thebaglady.tv/2011/10/owl-face_purse.html http://www.thebaglady.tv/2011/10/owl-face_purse.html High Street owl-bag River Island Thu, 27 Oct 2011 10:11:57 +0000 We've all heard of the designer rental services that allow you to hire a luxury dress or accessory you could never afford to buy outright, and handbags are becoming an increasingly popular item to hire. These services make sense on a number of levels: it avoids the folly of spending a fortune on an item you'll wear for just one special occasion, and allows us to elevate our style to a level that's way beyond our usual reach. But the prices can still be extortionate, you run the risk of being fined for staining or damaging the goods, and there is always the risk of being mocked for impersonating those who can really afford the designer swag. What do you think: would you rent a designer handbag for a limited time? http://www.thebaglady.tv/2011/10/yay_or_nay_rent.html http://www.thebaglady.tv/2011/10/yay_or_nay_rent.html Daily Features Yay or Nay handbaghire hire-designer rent-designer-bags rental-handbags thebaglady.tv Wed, 26 Oct 2011 15:23:27 +0000 Toronto Fashion Week has just wrapped up, and we've seen some exciting new pieces from its home-grown designers - particularly in the accessories section of the shows! The mad handbags pictured above are by Cydelic by Choryin; the label of designer Choryin Choi, and a newcomer to The Bag Lady. But if these imaginative pieces are anything to go by, we can imagine we'll be keeping a close eye on what Choryn does next!Choryin uses feathers, beading and what looks very much like randomly-sourced foliage to decorate his bags, which are slightly animal-shaped and remind us a little bit of armadillos. They are the perfect accompaniment to his futuristic garments, and his models' sci-fi styling shown here on the Toronto runway.[Images: GETTY] http://www.thebaglady.tv/2011/10/crazy_handbags.html http://www.thebaglady.tv/2011/10/crazy_handbags.html Fashion Shows News crazy-bags cydelic-by-choryin toronto-fashion-week weird-fashion weird-handbags Wed, 26 Oct 2011 12:42:20 +0000 http://www.thebaglady.tv/2011/10/louis_vuitton_a_1.html http://www.thebaglady.tv/2011/10/louis_vuitton_a_1.html Designer Bags Hobos Louis Vuitton louis-vuitton-artsy Wed, 26 Oct 2011 05:08:27 +0000 TV presenter Laura Whitmore opted for a leopard luxe look when she rocked up at the Q Awards last night, and her arm candy of choice was from Boden. http://www.thebaglady.tv/2011/10/laura_whitmore.html http://www.thebaglady.tv/2011/10/laura_whitmore.html Celebrity Fashion Tote Tote bag Tuesday boden laura-whitmore q-awards thebaglady.tv Tue, 25 Oct 2011 15:02:09 +0000 http://www.thebaglady.tv/2011/10/va_archive_coll.html http://www.thebaglady.tv/2011/10/va_archive_coll.html New Bags Radley champagne-bubbles Radley-V&A thebaglady.tv V&A william-morris Tue, 25 Oct 2011 12:45:24 +0000 Topshop is doing a good line in decorative laptop cases at the moment, which is great news for anyone who doesn't want to pay more for the sleeve than for the gadget itself - or resort to a computer-shop standard carrier! http://www.thebaglady.tv/2011/10/tech_tuesday_ba.html http://www.thebaglady.tv/2011/10/tech_tuesday_ba.html Daily Features Tech Tuesday laptop-bags Tue, 25 Oct 2011 09:43:26 +0000 http://www.thebaglady.tv/2011/10/bloggers_want_t.html http://www.thebaglady.tv/2011/10/bloggers_want_t.html News competition aigua-media competition launch-party VIP Mon, 24 Oct 2011 15:58:15 +0000 If I spotted this little trinket on someone's finger, I'd assume they'd got their folksy little Twitter bird ring from a local craft fair, or perhaps even knocked it up at home. It certainly wouldn't enter my mind that they could have spent a grand and a half on it, or that it was made from 18-karat gold.But all of that would be true, as the premium accessory has been fashioned from seriously heavyweight materials by Solonge Azagury; a designer we generally admire. There is definitely room for quirky jewellery out there, but this one just doesn't hit the spot - and all the gold in the world isn't going to change our minds! £1,540 at Net-a-Porter http://www.thebaglady.tv/2011/10/over-priced_acc.html http://www.thebaglady.tv/2011/10/over-priced_acc.html Jewellery most-expensive-ring-in-the-world Mon, 24 Oct 2011 12:33:24 +0000 Ray Ban Clubmasters and traditional aviator styles continue to be a massive hit, echoing our obsession with all-things retro when it comes to glasses frames and shades.
