A bold streak of cobalt is just the thing to beat the winter greys, and this Ann Taylor Cafe Leather Purse is the perfect shade. Punch up your neutral wardrobe by adding this crossbody to the mix.

Lately I’ve had a Proenza Schouler fever that I can’t seem to shake, and this breathtaking Proenza Schouler Python PS11 Tote is only going to make it rise. This astonishing Italian-made bag features two-tone python with contrasting rolled leather handles and trim, a signature gold-tone/platinum inverted stud detail on the front, a jacquard-lined interior with buckle closure, a top zip closure, one interior compartment, and a leather-trimmed zip pocket. It’s been a long while since I’ve seen a purse as perfectly polished and crisp as this and I must admit, I’m now aching to own it. Pick one up for yourself at Barney’s New York for $2,250.

Thinking about Kate Spade usually conjures up colorful handbags and cheeky accessories for me, and I tend to forget that perfect subtle neutrals in polished proportions are also Kate’s bag. This Kate Spade Mansfield Lottie is a stunning example of how sophisticated doesn’t need to be dull and neutral doesn’t mean just plain black. Well done, Kate. (Yes, we’re on a first name basis.) Available at Kate Spade for $425.

Perhaps Kate Spade is trying to inspire some innovative New Year’s resolutions for those who are tired of the usual weight loss nonsense. And honestly, Eat Cake for Breakfast Terry kind of has the right idea – especially if the cake is yellow and topped with fruit and cream! Available for $248 at Kate Spade.

I know the eighties aren’t often looked back on as a decade that spawned lots of timeless fashion. The Designers Guild Miami Beach Bag is very eighties, and yes, very Miami, but I think its bold mixing of patterns and bright colors still looks modern. If you’re beach-, resort-, or cruise-bound this spring or summer, it’s a fun and unique way to punch up the color with a solid sundress or swimsuit. Get it for $120 at Burke Decor.

I understand that when it comes to leopard print purses, maybe it isn’t best to invest in an expensive designer bag — unless you are really committed to the leopard lifestyle. For those who aren’t, there’s no better buy than the Bueno Frame Charcoal Purse; this shoulder bag is hip and funky — it looks like something from Betsey Johnson’s goth twin — but the dark grey keeps the bag from being too loud. Better yet, it’s only $10.48 on clearance at Target.

The first thing I thought about when I saw this purse was a peacock feather. Burberry is best known for their plaid designs, but the Printed Cotton Canvas & Leather Shoulder Bag sure is a nice change of pace! Besides the inspired look, I love the roomy interior (I don’t like huge totes but I do like my space). This sharp shoulder bag is a sweet break from the croc-embossed, animal print, burgundy leather satchels from the fall and winter seasons. You can pre-order yours now at Saks.com for $650.

Red isn’t my favorite color, but there’s something irresistible about bright red patent leather — or in the case of the Merona Red Clutch, bright red faux-patent leather. This simple wristlet looks nearly candy-coated, and this shade of red instantly dresses up any outfit. Add a darling dress and equally shiny red pumps for an instant Valentine’s date get-up. It’s $12.99 at Target.

If you need a quick animal-print fix to transform your little black dress or basic jeans and tee ensemble into something more appealing, take a peek at the Coach Kristin Occasion Haircalf Willow Small Shoulder Bag. All you need is this petite purse to boost any look, actually, because it’s so captivating. In addition to the wildcat-printed haircalf, there are also a luxurious chain strap and a standout clasp to add to its elegance. You can’t go wrong with this. Available for $598 at Coach.

Planning to hit the road soon? Whether you’ve got a winter getaway lined up or are already making plans for a springtime excursion, you’ve got to at least take a peek at the new lineup of Nancy Gonzalez Custom Travel Bags. No, these aren’t exactly what one would consider practical travel gear – they’re intensely colorful and cost a pretty penny (as all Gonzalez bags do). However, they’re definitely worth an ogle and a little drool.
The Medium Crocodile Trolley is available in dark eggplant, orange, turquoise, hot pink and black, and all are composed of glossy, heavily textured crocodile skin. Though it’s pretty darn gorgeous on the outside, the interior is ultimately what matters most; it’s thoughtfully designed with multiple interior pockets and features both a telescoping handle and top handles for hand carrying.
Need something more spacious? Go for the Large Crocodile Trolley, which is available in light camel, hot pink and black. Designed just like its medium-sized counterpart, it’s ideal for packing up your tropical getaway gear – everything from sunny floral dresses to breezy blouses.
