Zac Posen’s Attache Madison Purse is surprisingly chic even once you open it and see that the interior resembles an accordion file folder. The tan and white color combination might be neutral, but it stands out for miles. Consider this a strictly work-appropriate handbag; you could carry it around elsewhere, but it’s far too straightlaced and structured for a casual environment.
Available for $1200 at Saks.

If you need a bag with more room than you can even imagine, the new Odessa Goatskin Satchel by Chloe is right up your alley. Measuring 23 inches high by around 16 inches high, this spacious handbag balances its heft with a lovely, ladylike structure. The black goatskin is just slightly pleated to add some texture, while the gray frame complements it perfectly. Neutral, smart, roomy and versatile: What more can you really ask for from a bag?

Though there’s a lot going on with this dainty purse, it somehow manages to pull it all off with ease. Pretty and perky, Prada’s Vernice Sfumata Small Hobo takes advantage of the super-trendy ombre wash by pairing a gloriously springy shade of peony with white. The effect is bright and fun, with a sassy appeal thanks to the shiny patent leather. The Prada print lining is also very pretty. It’s a great choice if you want an everyday purse to ...

One photographer I've had my eye on for a little while now is central Virginia based photographer Casey Templeton. Casey won the 2005 College Photographer of the Year award and shot for National Geographic as part of an internship in 2006.
Since that time he has been shooting weddings, and even though he's a relative newbie to the whole wedding scene I can see how talented he is, and how much more talented he's becoming with each new wedding ...

Eager to put in as much face time as possible for her show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kim flew across the country to attend a Party at Harrah’s Resort in Atlantic city on Saturday night. She came dressed in head to toe black - body hugging knit dress and thigh high boots. Her rhodoid (read: plastic) chain Chanel completed her ensemble. Her companion (sister? but which one?) is dressed similarly to Kim in all black and ...

Fergie kills me with some of the get-ups she calls outfits. Of course all black is always the way to go, especially when you’re hanging with the fashion crowd. Backstage at the BCBG show, Fergie sported black relaxed trousers, a tough black leather jacket, and the superstar favorite: pitch black shades that keep you from going blind when the photogs are after you. That leaves us with Fergie’s monstrous black bag (a bit big for toting into a show, no?). ...

There’s nothing edgy about the Botkier Vixen Ruched Dome Satchel. With a name like that, I’d expect to see some chains, some hardware, something to elaborate on this so-called vixenishness. There’s nothing here, though, except for a few lame studs and the usual black leather. It’s also available in white, which, let’s face it, is hardly a vixen’s favorite color, is it?
Available for $600 at Nordstrom.

If you’ve just about had it up to here with the old check print and could do with something a bit more edgy, you might be intrigued by the new Burberry Debossed Hobo. It’s equal parts glamorous and classic, boasting the brand’s signature logo crest at its center and a wonderfully slouchy, grainy leather. Whether you pair the purse with your jeans, gladiators and relaxed floral top for a trendy springtime look or wear it to the office with your ...

The unusual Kooba Roni Asymmetrical Pleat Hobo is certainly aptly named - just check out that unexpected shape. As far as I’m concerned, it’s a welcome change from the seemingly endless supply of black leather handbags that dominate our little world. Just like the essential Little Black Dress, the black bag is something all women need. The difference? We don’t need hundreds of them. One classic and one unusual, like this interesting piece, should do just fine. Also available in ...

Designer Tracy Reese is one of my favorites, but for some reason her handbags have never quite lived up to the greatness of her clothes for me. Her Robin Filigree Convertible Tote is a prime example. Though it boasts gorgeous textured leather, it’s still far too somber and plain for my taste. The immense mother-of-pearl accent on the front flap doesn’t help matters; it lends the handbag an old-fashioned kind of vibe. There’s a distinctively western flavor about it, though ...

Perfect for your spring getaway or a little weekend excursion, the roomy Gustto Estiva Leather Shopper gives you an excuse to carry your usual everything-but-the-kitchen-sink load in style. The grommets are few and far between on this tote, but the pieces that are there act as a focal point without taking away from the bag’s unusual shape - and it’s definitely a little extraordinary. Though the shape sacrifices some room at the top, there’s plenty of space at the bottom ...

While I freely admit to being a purse lover, if you were to peep inside my closet, you’d find that my collection is very edited and streamlined. Every single bag purchase has been thought out and considered very carefully. Each one fills a niche and a function that no other purse does. It’s a general rule that I have so as to not get carried away. But I’d love to rewrite those rules to include the ...

Burberry deserves so much credit for never abandoning its classic print, yet still making each creation look new and fresh. I’m constantly impressed by that, even if I don’t always happen to love the bags. This Cutout Drawstring Shopper is a prime example of doing something unconventional to keep the check print from appearing too staid. The diamond-shaped cutouts reveal a gleamy underlay of shiny calfskin, and the gold trim helps to amp up the metallic appeal.
Available to pre-order ...

So how long would you have to dig around in this thing to find, say, some change as a long line begins to form behind you? I guess practicality wasn’t exactly a concern when this Tracy Reese Tangiers Tote was designed. Chic yet sort of ridiculous at the same time, it’s a tall, somewhat narrow handbag that doesn’t really lend itself well to small items. However, it’s awesome for larger essentials, and it would really suit a busy professional who ...
