If you’re a fan of the furry look, but you’re not quite ready to go all out for those Yeti-like F/W 2011 Uggs, check out the Aldo Hess Bag. It’s a little boho, a little snow bunny and a whole lotta cute wrapped up in one package. With a bag this voluminous, you’ll need to make sure you’re not wearing anything too flowy and competitive. Statement pieces like this are best paired with slim, tight-fitting bottoms. Available at Zappos for $39.

Here is a beautiful gift for someone who cares about the environment, but still wants to keep her chic on. The Envirosax Floral Bloom Market Bags are the most recent design in this eco-bag line, and they provide a feminine and flowery way to transport your goods. They’re also the best answer to the paper or plastic question that I’ve seen. You get five bags in the set, plus a matching pouch; each bag can carry about 44 pounds (equivalent to about two plastic grocery store bags). There are other designs available – even a Muppets set! Order a batch and give one each to five friends – with baked goodies inside. Check them out at RedEnvelope – $39.95.

A roomy tote in bold black and white python trimmed with chains and neon pink fabric? I am so in! This Stella McCartney Falabella Python Print Big Tote is the type of accessory I love: It goes with everything because it’s not too colorful, but it also adds a much needed injection of punchy color to my neutral outfits. Available at MyTheresa for $1,265.

Now, I’m actually a fan of the faux-fur look, but this might be taking it to places it doesn’t need to go. Behold the Stitches Detailed Eiderdown Green Bag. It’s not a bad color — and green is relatively rare for handbags — plus the quilted effect is quite nice. But what on earth is that tail doing? It seems oddly out of place, and it actually sort of looks like there’s a live animal shoved inside the purse. But maybe that’s the effect it’s going for? What say you, PursePage readers? Would you buy this bag, which is available at Romwe for $71?

Be still, my beating heart. Seriously. I’m about to faint at the sight of this Jeffery Campbell Romero Purse. The combination of pale pink and orange suede with a leopard print flap is so fresh and sweet that I can’t pass it up. If you’re swooning too, have a seat and catch your breath. Then you can snag it at Lori’s Shoes for $139.

Whether you want to call this kelly green or emerald, the Marc by Marc Jacobs Fresh Grass Take Me Tote is well prepared for Christmas and beyond. Especially appreciated is a feature oft overlooked in tote bags – a zipper closure! This classic purse will last you many seasons, and I’m not just talking about past winter. But if green isn’t for you, it’s available in a playful purple and an undeniably timeless black as well. It’s $358 at Shopbop.

Fitting snugly under our arm, this Fontanelli Quilted Leather Shoulder Bag would be a great partner in crime for our last minute holiday shopping. The giant tassel and quilted graphite leather would add texture to our gift shopping uniform of jeans, a cotton tee, flat shoes, and a cardigan, and it’s big enough to hold our phone, wallet, keys and a snack for shopping energy! Available at Forzieri for $730.

Now, I know some of you may disagree with me, but I am crazy in love with this Diane Von Furstenberg Mini Harper Shoulder Bag. I love everything about it, but mostly I love that divine shade of blue. The structure of the purse is fantastic as well, although I can already imagine some people saying the chain grommets look like little frog eyes, which they totally do. But it just makes the bag that much cuter to me! Available for preorder at L’Inde for €268.

This Bryna Palisade Clutch has personality for miles and a texture effect to die for. Bands of croc-embossed leather are sewn together for a striped look, and then the whole thing is dyed a rich deep hue. I love it in blue, but you can also order it in Red or Saddle. Available at Bryna for $199.

Appropriately named, this sassy little Lanvin Happy Pop Clutch makes me truly happy. Have you ever had the joy of coming across a purse that makes you feel sincere and utter excitement? For me, it happens all the time, but not quite so intensely as now! This sensationally sleek and sexy Lanvin clutch may ring in at nearly a grand, but I’d be almost willing to trade a limb for it! You can bet I’ll be saving every extra penny I can so I can get my hands on one! Pick up yours at Barney’s New York for $990.
