As I grow older, I see that I’m more into fashion that’s classy but yet sophisticated at the same time. I do love my rocker chick look, but a majority of the time I love to dress to the 9′s and look glamorous from head to toe. I guess a woman reaches a point in her life where she realizes she has to go for more of a grown up look.

I absolutely love when I can find handbags that look as if you are on your way to the office. By that I mean, purses that look very business attire or even like a briefcase. Best part is though, is that you aren’t on your way to work and more on your way to having a stylish high fashion day.

Expecting star Jessica Alba was spotted out and about looking gorgeous as ever after hitting the nail salon in Beverly Hills yesterday. She’s wearing Heartloom’s printed Desi maxi dress and carrying Anya Hindmarch’s amazing new Huxley Tote in classic Nude.

The Huxley is new to the family for Autumn / Winter 2011 and is available in a bunch of different variations from basic leather, stingray trim, croc-embossed leather, but my favorite version hands down is Jessica’s black Shagreen and nude “Velvet Calf” – smooth and buttery in feel; leather in its most natural form. Its gorgeous.

The Huxley features hand-stitched detailing, oversized maxi zip and hand-rolled shagreen tassel. Interior features pockets for “Bits and Bobs” and “Phone.” Shagreen inlay handles with gold bow logo to front and Anya Hindmarch logo lining. Includes detachable shoulder strap.

Shop the Huxley’s at Net-a-Porter!

I have always loved Gryson handbags. I think it was my Gryson Skye Satchel that got me hooked on the designer. But recently, Gryson handbags seem to have fallen off the face of the planet. What the heck happened? Oddly enough, there doesn’t seem to be a lack of Olivia Harris handbags out there. This is Joy Gryson’s other handbag line, which is named after her daughter. It is known for being a little younger and edgier than the original line. How Olivia Harris compares to Gryson, I don’t know. But after seeing the Olivia Harris by Joy Gryson Oversized Collar Stud Messenger, I am definitely eager to find out!

Tory Burch is currently one of my favorite designers. Anything the brand styles exudes sophistication and class. The brand also does an amazing job at pairing up black leather and gold hardware, which happens to be my favorite color combination when it comes to fashion.

At the moment, I’m absolutely loving the Tory Burch “Audra” Mini Bag. Before I even took a glimpse at it the name caught my eye. In my handbag collection, I have a Louis Vuitton Multicolor bag that was also named “Audra”, so it was interesting to see a bag by a different designer with the same name. When I took a look at it, it looked nothing like my Louis Vuitton in fact it looked like the total opposite! It was as if the handbags could be “Audra” the night and day collection.

I love Marc Jacobs! And I love his diffusion line, Marc by Marc Jacobs! His designs are always so fun and quirky. Season after season, I love checking out his latest creations. Nothing really surprises me anymore and very rarely do I see something I don’t at least sort of like. What can I say, his quirkiness kind of grows on you! Unfortunately, this appears to be one of those rare occasions. Yes, I definitely found myself raising an eyebrow when I gazed upon the handbag you see pictured here. Meet the Marc by Marc Jacobs Regine Velvet Drawstring Bag.
