I think I’ll need to throw a fancy party just so I have an excuse to carry around this gorgeous Inge Christopher Sabrina Clutch. This little dazzler would be an absolute dream bag for New Year’s Eve, but I just don’t think I could wait that long to show it off! It features double-faced silk, Swarovski crystals, a top zipper, an interlocking link chain shoulder strap, and satin lining. Find it at Handbags.com for $174.99.
When I saw the Dual-Compartment Satchel at Neiman Marcus I wasn’t surprised. But I found it funny that it was in a section called The Statement Handbag. When I look at it, the statement I hear is “I want to go bowling.” It has two compartments, so you could put one shoe in each side and then you wouldn’t have to rent those nasty bowling shoes that a bazillion people before you have worn. Or you could fill it with some yummy snacks so you don’t succumb to the irresistible but greasy fries at the concession stand. Of course, since it’s priced at $1995, you may not want to bring this little Burberry bowling at all. If this suede satchel strikes you, place your order at neimanmarcus.com.
“Pretty, pastel, and perfect” is the only way to describe this fantastic Guess Cayenne Shopper. And did I mention that it’s also impeccably priced? This little gem features dual shoulder straps, logo hardware accents, a zipper closure, a spacious lined interior, and multiple organizational pockets. Pick one up for $96.60 from 6pm.
On top of all of its coppery goodness, the Fleur Delight Adele Bowler is emblazoned with an Eternal Love heart surrounded by colorful flowers. Sequins normally make a bag too dressy to carry on an everyday basis, but not so here. In fact, the color of this purse will let you carry it through the fall and winter seasons without a worry. Best of all, this baby is on sale – Labor Day at Macy’s is a good thing! You can now get this designer bag for just $62.99 instead of $168.
My golden birthday is coming up, and as a result I’ve been drawn to any and all things gold – and let me tell you, there’s a lot of gaudy stuff out there! This Milly Andie Satchel is so much more sophisticated than many of its compatriots. Its gold color is soft and pleasant, without any brassy or yellowy tones, and despite being on the large side, it doesn’t seem overwhelming. It’d be a nice pizzazz-y complement to an everyday outfit, and it won’t make you look like you’re heading to Vegas by way of the grocery store. Available at Piperlime for $465.
I’ve been bombarded with so many other trendy details — studs, sequins, chevrons, leopard — that I forgot all about the good old scallop. As such, I was delighted to run across the ASOS Leather Scallop Edge Shopper, a fabulous everyday bag that is completely classic, but still a little quirky, with that fun scalloped edge. Will scallops reappear on the scene as one of fall’s big trends? I can only hope. It’s $127.73 at ASOS.
I usually wait until I have an evening dress on until I search for a sweet little bag to carry. Well, no more. I am gathering cute little clutches to add to my stash and the Satin Rosette Evening Clutch is the first inductee. This vibrant satiny red flower wristlet is sure to see some use over the holiday season. You can pick this pretty purse up at the Labor Day Sale at Macy’s this weekend for just $26.99 (originally $40) when you enter the code FALL at checkout.
The colors and funky geometric pattern of this Milly Geo Print Market Tote caught my eye. This nice summer-to-fall option is large enough to hold a sun hat right now and a light wrap in a few weeks. The teal is great for sunny weather, but the bag as a whole isn’t too bright for autumn, especially with those darker accents. Plus, it’s on sale! Available at Piperlime for $206.
The purse market is overflowing with leopard print totes, and while I personally am not complaining, I’m sure there are many of you out there who will find a breath of fresh air in a leopard bag of another shape and size. Enter the Tiffany & Co. Mia Shoulder Bag, a luxurious calf hair and leather bag that of course sports that bright Tiffany blue on the inside. It’s my instinct to declare this cutie the perfect bag for travel, with its comfy strap and spacious yet petite interior, but at just under $900, I’m not really sure I can endorse it for getting shlepped around all over creation. It’s $895 at Tiffany.com.
I’m not often one for snakeskin – it’s always seemed a little too vampish or edgy for my girly sensibilities. However, I was completely struck by this Danielle Nicole Sienna Satchel. I wouldn’t have expected to like a combination of python and aqua with brown accents, but these three disparate elements come together to make such a lovely handbag that I’m seriously considering it. The reasonable price is certainly pushing me in that direction. Available at Piperlime for $88.
