I always love a nice messenger bag, but I have a hard time grasping what to put inside such a sleek and skinny bag. Most people don’t have only flat things that go in their purse. I suppose this would be super chic to put your school books in and lug around campus. The traditional Gucci G’s are embossed in the “guccisima” leather style which looks absolutely gorgeous in violet. The strap is ample enough to actually put on your shoulder and the D-rings give it a touch of style. Available at Bluefly for $796

This Fendi bag looks like something you would pick up at a tourist shop in Arizona and not something that you would drop almost three grand for. The color is garish and looks cheap. The genuine stone adornmnets scream D.I.Y. and not deisgner. And the front has “wolf fish skin” detailing. What exactly is a wolf fish? Do I even want to know? Whatever it is, I am sure PETA would not approve. The shape of the bag is cute, and the strap gives it functionality like the other Fendi Secret Code bags, but I think this one is a big miss. Available at eluxury for $2,450

When did Gwen get all swanky on us? This green leather bag really veers away from all the cutesy “kawaii” stuff that former No Doubt-er has brought to her L.A.M.B line in seasons past. This bag still brings a funky punch with its bright green color, fun yellow stripe down the front and a kicky little tassle. But the soft quilted leather is plush and gold logo on the front. With all this new-found luxuriousness comes a higher price than we’re used to seeing from this line, too. Available at eluxury for $595

Marc Jacobs never fails at adding fun to his bags. This Graffiti change purse could not be anymore urban or just plain cool. The coated canvas exterior is covered in the MJ logo as well as kooky “spray-painted” words like “Miss” and “toot.” This pouch is a perfect for storing your change or make-up or even using as a wallet. When you pull this out of your bag, everyone will see that you’ve got style. Available at eluxury for $58. For that price you can pick up the matching tote.

Are the designers behind Louis Vuitton every going to run out of ways to reinvent the mongrammed canvas? I certainly hope not! The latest line mixes the classic LV mongram with a quilted look. It does remind me too much of the staple Chanel quilted bags. But the LV versions are so sleek and sophisticated and that mongram gets me every time! Available at eluxury for $3,500

Maybe, it’s because I’m pms-ing but the peanut butter cup colors on this bag are making me want to eat it. And carry it around, because its fabulous. Brooklyn based, Hayden-Harnett bring us this little bag with lots of design. The v-shaped stripe pattern on the bag is visually interesting and the color combination can go with almost anything.

It’s such an interesting piece and it’s sure to make you stand out! Available at Bluefly for $148

This bag is so gorgeous that I almost just drooled all over my desk. Oops. But seriously, it’s a must have for me. Treesje does an amazing job of combining the shiny fuscia leather with just the right amount of ruffle. Who doesn’t love a girly touch like that? The gold buckle gives a little pop in themidst of all that pink. This bag is perfect for everyday use, its not too small and its not too glitzy but it still packs lots of charm! Available at Bluefly for $429. For that price, you can grab one grey, too!

Veering away from their usual color palette of pink, Juicy Couture brings us this patriotic little handbag. It kind of screams Dynasty, but at the same time I am loving it. The gold chain detail is funky and fun. While the sublte logo and the leather trim and handles give it a classic vibe. I love the dainty little pleat on the front and the sweet little terriers at either side of the gold chain. This bag is sure to hold all your necessities and look cute doing it! Available at eluxury for $165
