The latest incarnation of the Michael Kors Zuma Leather Satchel finds it sporting its shiniest and most intense look to date. Done in a sharp, crackled gunmetal leather, it’s definitely the purse to carry if you are: 1) seeking a can’t-miss sort of work bag that will hold all of your essentials with ease or 2) sick of the basic metallics and want to reinvent your wardrobe with something flashy and glamorous. This is definitely both, and while it’s also quite functional, it won’t serve as a go-to bag for everyone. You be the judge. Available for $995 at Nordstrom.

Whether he’s doing Project Runway or dressing the First Lady in something stunning, Michael Kors can always bank on his penchant for luxe-casual fabulousness. His sharp Patent Clutch falls more in the former category, uniting the sleek, refined preeminence of shiny leather with the edgy, asymmetrically placed zipper. Try this runway-worthy clutch with an outfit equally befitting its rock star-vibe. It’s definitely a statement piece. Available for $995 at Nordstrom.

Looks like summer’s neon trend is going to seep into autumn, at least if Michael Kors has his way. The designer is delivering three neon versions of his sleek Runway Clutch, in neon pink, acid yellow, and day glo orange. The combo of bright patent leather and futuristic silver hardware surprisingly works, and I’d love to pair one of these babies with a slinky little black dress…or even a chunky black or charcoal gray sweater? What better way to bust out of the cold weather blues? Available for pre-order at Neiman Marcus for $595.

Since red can easily be considered a fundamental neutral nowadays, it’s not surprising that styles like this could easily fit into many wardrobes. The Zuma Small Satchel by Michael Kors is downright “knotty” (sorry) and is actually quite cute. The knotted leather accents don’t take away from the bag’s versatility - instead they add a charming touch to an otherwise simple carryall. I love the textured appearance that results from the leather’s super-slouchiness, and despite being “small” it’s still fairly spacious. Also in black and white. Available for $1495 at Nordstrom.

Though this style is nothing new, this incarnation of the Michael Kors ID Chain Python Hobo definitely is. Regardless of how you may feel about python purses (I’m personally not a fan), you have to hand it to Kors for creating something so brilliantly striking and enigmatic that it makes even the biggest haters take notice. A designer normally recognized for his attention to detail and classic pieces, Kors takes a different approach with this wildly unexpected version of his famed ID Hobo. As versatile and spacious as ever, it’s made with genuine python and accented by thick chain details along the sides. I’d never carry this, but I do admit to being slightly intrigued by that great color scheme. Available to pre-order for $2895 at Neiman Marcus.

Purple is on the fast track to becoming the upcoming season’s hottest color, so you can bet this luxurious MICHAEL Michael Kors Patent Drawstring Tote will garner some attention. If it’s not because of the sharp color, it will definitely be down to the glossy shine it exudes for miles. The belt details are unmistakably Kors, but the trendy color and material are much more updated and playful than what we normally see from the designer. I love it! Available for $398 (a steal, as this is incredibly roomy) at Nordstrom.

I don’t know about you ladies, but me and my pocketbook are big, big fans of the summertime sales that are happening right now. It’s letting me stock up on lots of fashion goodies for the upcoming months without having to suffer through a year on the diet du Ramen. Right now I’m hooked on Shelly Steffee’s slinky slip dress (on sale for $170, down from $240), which comes in cobalt blue, black, and magenta - soooo hot with a studded black belt and layered necklaces. I plan to wear it avec this eye-catching Watchband Clutch from Michael Kors (on sale for $418, down from $695); I love the mod-meets-modern style…not to mention the big discount.

Right now, save up to 50% off Michael Kors merchandise online, or at any of the boutiques. Kors is known in the high end fashion world for creating luxe caftans, slim trousers, and driving shoes, while for the masses he creates affordable versions of the same. I almost TRY not to like a lot of his stuff simply because I don’t like the guy’s personality as seen on Bravo’s Project Runway, but some of it is so beach-chic that I can’t help but love it.

Your animal magnetism will go through the roof with this wild number swinging from your shoulder. Suffice it to say that gray cheetah is definitely more unique than the usual animal prints, which makes Michael Kors’s Drawstring Satchel stand out a bit in a crowd. Like the untamed animal it pays homage to, it’s sure to turn heads (but hopefully won’t frighten people away). A roomy handbag with easy day-to-night transition potential, it’s great if you need something new to spice up your accessories closet. Available for $1995 at Nordstrom.
