I saw this photo of Blake Lively from the set of her Gossip Girl series, and I was instantly drawn to the handbag she was carrying. I think it was because I liked the subtle color combination of it, with its blue top handle, orange straps and a black and tan body. I also like the sturdy form of the satchel, which is another plus for me. It adds a lot to the bag’s functionality.
This is how a designer applies colorblocking to perfection. This handbag looks tailored and well-put together that the crazy but subtle mix of colors even highlights its style.
The Fendi Chameleon Duffle Satchel is available at Sak’s and also comes in different, but safer color combos. I love this particular combination best.

The simplicity of this handbag is not one to disregard. It actually makes the bag a lot more classy and perfectly designed for that woman who has a busy calendar and loads of tasks to do.
The handbag offers a lot of function as it is just the right size for files, folder and a small laptop to fit into. But at the same time, it’s also a great bag to carry around during weekend soirees and visits to the mall. Roomy, functional and still stylish, I think this is the perfect go-to bag and a must have. This can even be used during travels.
You get your money’s worth with this.
Available at Zappos.

The gorgeous Megan Fox was seen trotting the streets to go to work with this Alexander Wang zippered hobo. The actress matched this piece with jeans and a tight turtle neck top. But the bag stood out because of its unusual color and has complemented her sexy Louboutin heels.
The handbag appears like faded blue denim, and seems antique washed. Featured with zippers, this piece is rather edgy, but the actress wears this with ease and a whiff of sophistication and sexiness, that I guess, is inherent in her.
The bag can be purchased from Bluefly.

I have little love for fur or even faux fur. It’s the kind of fashion I don’t really know how to carry but since fashion is something that can be developed, I’m willing to try out wearing something with faux fur for the season, when it’s one of the trendiest. It isn’t easy to rock, but I guess I could start off with handbags lined with faux fur. Some of my choices for this are the ones below:
This fur satchel from Kenneth Cole is structured but hardly boring. It’s looks basic but comes with a twist. The combination of faux fur and leather makes this handbag more interesting. The handbag is also totally useful as it is filled with multi pockets and compartments inside. This keeps one stylish and organized.

I instantly love the style of this Mohair Garden tote from Prada. This piece has soft faux fur in light color, which I think looks clean and simple. The handbag also comes with a heritage tag.

Available at Sak’s Fifth Avenue.
This Forzieri wicker handbag with faux fur I think looks fun but classy at the same time. It would be perfect for daytime wear. Inside, the handbag comes with zip pockets. It’s closure is only a cord, though. It’s cute, but I think I’d like if it were more secure.

It was Chanel who made chain strap bags a classic staple in a woman’s wardrobe and today, the newest designs that are out come in really cool styles and variations of the original chain strap.
The handbags look more elegant with the chains for some reason. And here are a few other picks that give the chain strap a whole new vibe:
Rebecca Minkoff Camo Printed Leather ‘Mac’ at Bluefly
This bag comes in a combination of green and brown grained leather and is accented with goldtone hardware. To soften the style, a tassel pull was added which I think gives this bag a sexy and edgy vibe. The inside is lined with dash print fabric, with two trimmed pockets and a zip pocket.
Gold Coast Shimmer Evangeline at Kate Spade
I think this handbag could be a good alternative to a Chanel. It’s sleek and classy and definitely versatile. This is made from pebbled cowhide and the trims are coated in metallic. The hardware is gold plated. That it comes in a nude shade makes it wearable for any type of clothes.
Prada Light Blue Tweed Flap Chain Bag at Bluefly
This chain strap is sassy. It’s from Prada, so you basically have an idea of its craftsmanship. Featuring denim fabric with a contrasting stitchwork, this handbag is lined with suede inside. While it can look casual, with the right clothes this can also be a sophisticated addition to your wardrobe.
