In some cultures in the East, wearing of anything with polka dots for the New Year supposedly rings in good luck. Polka dots are shaped like coins or money and this represents abundance. I take inspiration from that belief and search from a few polka dotted bags that would look great when you welcome 2011 with a bang.
Juicy Couture Luxe Day Dreamer Polka Dot
Juicy Couture has a collection of polka dotted bags that I’m sure you would find really fancy.
This particular piece is designed with metallic polka dots, which makes it so fitting for this holiday season, as metallic lends all these shiny details. The handbag is made of suedes and quilt with the quilt ensuring it’s durability. The item is also accented with a bow and some hardware detail. Dimensions: 13″ wide x 6″ deep x 9″ high.
Felix Rey Polka Dot Frame Clutch
This bag brings a great combination of playful elements and glamour, as polka dotted prints and shimmering mesh is combined. The bag comes with a crossbody strap which makes it so chic and trendy as well. Inside, you can see its sexy leopard print lining, which makes this piece even more gorgeous, inside out. 7.5″W x 6″H x 1.5″D.
Pretty Tate Tote, Polka Dot
This bag doesn’t have any gold or metallic on it, but it would be ideal for carrying or wearing to an afternoon New Year’s tete-a-tete with your friends. The bag is meant for casual wear and there’s quite a selection of it in navy, white or black dots. 14 3/4″H x 18″W x 4 1/2″D. That it comes in red is also a bonus, since the color also is regarded as the color of luck.

When I think of New Year, the most prominent image that comes to mind is that giant ball dropping on Times Square. Taking inspiration from that, you can welcome the New Year as brightly as that with these selection of handbags.
Betsey Johnson ‘Get Your Glitz On’ Sequined Bow Clutch Best worn with your cocktail dress or your LBD. This bag comes with a chain strap so that you can easily dangle it on your shoulders. But you can also choose to carry it by hand. I think this exudes classic grace, with a touch of the fun side.
Ipa-Nima Sequin Bucket Tote Perfect for casual New Year’s dinner at the family house, and everyone is just dressed in jeans. And the sequins for polk-dotted gold, which actually may bring you good karma and good luck this coming year!

When you reach a certain age and become a mother, shopping sometimes poses a challenge. You have to find age-appropriate stuff to avoid getting those disapproving looks from other people. Like, I’d like to wear a tutu skirt, except that it only looks great for thirteen years old.
The problem, I find, is that sometimes, age-appropriate stuff for mothers and those nearly in their 40′s may mean matronly and old-looking. They may also mean safe design and boring colors.
Although there are a lot of choices for handbags these days, one style or design isn’t always going to work for some types of people. I mean, I love those Juicy Couture and Betty Johnson pieces, but some of it do not seem to be the right kind of bag to bring during PTA meetings. You know what I mean?
I notice that most mothers my age always go with the basic black or brown bags as their everyday bag. And usually, these bags come with the most unimaginative designs. A pocket here, one or two gold hardware pieces there…and that’s about it.
Which is why I’ve set my sights on anything Kate Spade offers, when it comes to handbags.
Kate Spade bags come in colorful shades and cute design. It isn’t so colorful that you would have a hard time matching it with any other outfit. And it isn’t too cute, you would think it’s better for a nine year old to use it. The come in the right sizes, too. You can put most of your crap in it, and no one would suspect because from the outside, the bags look gorgeous.
Kate Spade bags are classy classics. For moms out there, these bag brings volume of style and functionability.

Ruching and feather printed canvas toe with multicolored cords as handles….this bag is definitely tops when it comes to style.

This kids hobo bag is still something I would carry around as an adult. I think it’s pretty charming and I love the pom pom ornamentation. It does add a cute touch. With the way this bag is styled, I doubt moms wouldn’t keep this for themselves or let alone have their young girls carry this exclusive. It’s just too cute not to have.
