Nichole Richie’s House of Harlow has released its 1960 Handbag Collection. With these bags, the celebrity has really proven herself to be an instigator of style and a truly fashion forward person.
The 1960′s collection features luxury handbags with a hint of boho chicness. The collection is now up for sale at Shopbop and it looks like they are selling really fast.
Here are just two samples from the collection which I personally prefer as two of the brand’s best pieces:

House Of Harlow Fall 2011 Collection
Military inspired style is such a big hit with fashion. It’s always something that goes in and out of the trends and for this coming fall, I’ve got a feeling that it will be so in again.
There have been lots of designer handbags that have come out styled so perfectly fitted for military inspired wear, in its structure and colors. Below are just some examples:
Halogen® ‘Military’ Leather Satchel
This handbag is featured with cargo flap pockets and belted straps in a classic khaki colored leather. It’s a very functional and compartmentalized bag which can be carried via its double handles or crossed over the body with the straps. I love how perfect this is for everyday use, especially if I get tired of carrying a tote with me.
Available at Nordstrom.
Proenza Schoule PS1 Pouch
PS has several variations and I also like that they have come with this smaller, more compact size. This is made of military leather and as this is the PS1, it has its foldover flap and belted straps, plus brass hardware. This handbag is available at Kirna Zabete.
Nicole Lee Military Purse
Featuring buckle straps and side cinch tassles, this Nicole Lee Military purse takes a different twist to military inspired fashion. This handbag, however, is made of dyed PU material and may change its color over tome. It still looks funky and stylish, as well as fashion forward. You can get this at Buckle.
Michael Kors Satchel Shoulder Leather
Michael Kors does away with subtlety and really comes up with a handbag with the military camouflage. Despite the lack of compartments, this doctor-shaped bag is roomy and spacious inside. This is available at Michael Kors or at Lord & Taylor.

What is not there to love about an Elly Clay handbag? Just take a look at some of what she has to offer. These are some of the edgiest and trendiest designs I’ve seen from handbags and they look absolutely great!
This is called the Billy Jean Clutch, which is a cross between rocker chic and urban chic. The handbag comes with a fold over design and the flaps are zippered down with a few tassels. It looks totally cool and radical. The style is a stand-out and looks even better with all the choices of prints and colors or it.
This clutch is oversized, thus making it more utilitarian than regular clutches. It also comes with a strap, so that it can be worn as a shoulder bag.
For $220, this handbag is worth the price!
Elly Clay’s textured satchel in bright, almost turquoise blue, is probably my favorite in her collection. This also comes in fuchsia, black and pewter but I really love the blue best. I especially love the size, it’s the kind I need from the bag.
This satchel is designed in glazed calf leather and embossed python. The surface is textured and oh, so gorgeous! Brass hardware complete its style.
Lastly, this is Elly Clay’s Boyfriend Hobo and its the edgiest from this selection. The handbag has an unusual strap, which sets it apart. I’m not so thrilled about the studs but I can live with it. The handbag is made of elephant grain calf leather and it’s really spacious inside.
Elly Clay is designed by Crystal Haylett, who is based in New York. As a new player in the handbag scene, her designs have really become much sought after by celebrities and socialites. The handbags make use of a lot of hardware and fringes, as you have seen and the best way to describe Elly Clay’s style is that is truly fashion forward.
