Yves Saint Laurent have gone out of control with all of these slim totes. This one, the YSL Queen, has a name that’s more suited to a luxury cruise liner than a handbag, but it’s got all the style and pizazz of a really wearable accessory. I love the unusual color combination – it’s not often gold, brown, red, orange and white team up, and when they do the results can be questionable. Here, though, it actually kind of works. This is a great bag for autumn. Its vivid hues paint a perfect picture of crisp, cool weather and colorful leaves. It’s constructed of denim, but that’s hardly noticeable since the stripes camouflage it so well. A good thing, if you ask me. Available for $560 at bluefly.com.
