A fitting handbag to wear for the holidays.
This is a limited edition poppy leather handbag from Coach. It’s made of gunmetal metallic leather, the texture and color of which reminds me of tinsels and Christmas decorations. The handbag also features beaded leather flowers that lends a softer, feminine touch that tones down the metal leather. It also adds a whimsical style.
With its metal chain strap, this bag is an elegant accessory to any type of party dress you may want to wear for parties during these time of the year.
The Coach’s Poppy Leather Flower Party Handbag is pretty and complex, and it what makes this a unique standout.
Frame closure, fabric lining Strap with 5 1/4″ drop 5 1/2″ (L) x 4 1/4″ (H) x 1 1/2″ (W) Limited edition
You can get this from Coach.

I realize that spring is literally still seasons away but I can’t help but check out spring bags this early and my eyes are drawn to those gorgeous applique bags in cream or nude shades. I prefer them in that neutral color because the bag’s design, as it is, is already overpowering that I like something that can blend with the wardrobe.
There are two designs I’m eyeing. One is affordably low-end and the other is a designer handbag with a hefty price tag. Both bags, however, would look really perfect for the season as well as for wearing day and night.
First up in this SM Flower Tote from DSW:
The size, shape and style is ideal for everyday wearing. I love how functional and pretty this is. And of course, I love that it’s only $50!
Synthetic tote with flowers Top snap closure Rolled handles with 8″ drop Fabric lining with back wall zipper pocket and two slip pockets Dimensions: 19″ x 7″ x 12″ Imported
The drawback is because it’s synthetic, it’s the kind of bag that will only last you up to a couple of years, and by then, the piece would look worn out.
The ohter bag is this Valentino Sand Big Flower Appliqué Shopper:
Similar to the first bag, this is also chic and functional. Made from quality material, you know this piece is going to last for years.
Luxurious bag in beige leather Eyecatcher: embellished with an XL-leather petal at the front Classic shopper shape Roomy, very high quality Totally stylish, a genuine dream accessory A sensational upgrade for simple muted looks during the day and at night
The only downside to this is the price, which costs an arm and a leg.

Studs are still trendy this season and you will see many of it on tops, shoes, jeans, jackets…and of course, even handbags and clutches like this edgy Wicca Clutch from Alexander McQueen.
It does look edgy, as many from the House of McQueen’s designs are. But it’s also a cute piece I think would go perfectly well with a red dressy outfit.
I love how the studs form like a polka-dotted embellished style. This handbag can go from day to night, it’s pretty versatile, in my opinion. And it’s beig enough to hold sunglasses, a wallet and a cellphone inside.
Studded accents. Top handle. Flat bottom. Top flap with a sliding-lock closure. Interior lining. Made in Italy.

I found another piece to go with the fashionable color blocking trend.
This is the Lita Handbag and its hip design is something you cannot ignore. I like the choices of basic colors that come together in this piece. Its craftmanship is intricate and detailed, made of soft suede leather. I also love that the handbag is oversized but lightweight.
This piece is not only stylish and fashionable, it’s also very handy to carry anywhere all the time.
• Dimension – 13″H x 16 1/2″L x 5″W • Material – Suede • Closure – Top Zip & Magnetic Snap • Interior – Back Wall Zip With Two Additional Pockets
This is available at Bakers Shoes.
