I normally do not like white bags. I currently only own one white handbag and that is the Louis Vuitton “Multicolor” Speedy 30. Even though it’s not fully white, it’s pretty close to being an all white bag. Yes, it has a lot of color on it but my gosh is it hard to keep clean. I have to constantly clean it because you can easily see when it’s dirty. White bags can be very annoying but they are just like white cars, very beautiful and hard to say no to. One of the most gorgeous white bags I’ve seen in quite some time is the Alexander Wang “Pelican” Satchel.

Obsessed: Anya Hindmarch Scrooge Wristlet

This season Anya Hindmarch’s Holiday bag collection is so amazing and adorable. So many festive pieces perfect for the holiday season. There’s the “Murano” Music Box Clutch (yes, it actually plays a tune!), the “Candy Coin” Purse (looks like a jumbo piece of wrapper candy).. now there’s this piece, the “Scrooge” Wristlet.

Dressed in a metallic gold crinkled leather and topped off with a bow.

Pair it with the Rachel Zoe Arielle Silk Dress and Jimmy Choo Margy Sandals.

Hello Fall! It’s that time of year when heavily structured, quilted leathered handbags are re-introduced and certainly craved. Amongst the crowed there’s always that one black sheep that stands out above all. Over at the House of Burberry, it’s the truly unique Orchard Satchel.

Fall is just about to be here and the stores are already covered in Fall fashion. To be exact, I’ve seen Fall fashion pieces at the mall since about the end of July! Fall has always been my favorite season when it comes to fashion because I love boots, coats and hats! It’s too hot to wear them during the Summer in Florida so when it gets a bit cooler I always take out my Fall gear.

Whenever I see tweed, I instantly know Fall is here or about to be here. Tweed and houndstooth are always big trends during the Fall. With that said, the Diane von Furstenberg “Harper” Charlotte Bag says Fall all over it. This is the type of bag that I would see a woman up north carrying around. I can picture it in my head a woman walking around New York with her beautiful boots, her warm coat and carrying this bag.

Trends usually come and go. It’s like they are the one hit wonders of the fashion industry. They are here for maybe a season or two and then they vanish. However, sometimes they make another appearance a few years down the road. Let’s not forget to mention though that, not very often but definitely sometimes, a trend comes out and never seems to leave! Whenever that happens, I just hope it’s a trend I like! If I like the trend then I don’t care how often I see it in the stores at the mall. One of those trends that has been non-stop for the past couple years is the stud trend. Studs have been very popular and seen non-stop the fashion world for a while now. Looks like the stud trend is here to stay and doesn’t plan on going anywhere anytime soon.

If you’ve seen my blogs before, I’m sure you’ve read about my obsession with black and gold combinations when it comes to fashion. I think those two colors look absolutely fabulous on handbags and shoes. In my opinion, the colors look classy, flashy and gorgeous when paired together. Michael Kors is always the king of making beautiful fashion pieces featuring those two colors but other designers have also succeeded like Monserat De Lucca.

Alexander McQueen is one of my all time favorite designer brands. McQueen designs and releases fashion pieces that are incredibly different looking than anything out there at that moment. The brand is definitely unique all around and that’s what makes people love it even more. I’ve been a huge fan ever since I laid eyes on the “Skull” box clutches and I hope one day I have a closet full of McQueen pieces.

The Alexander McQueen “Heroine” Bag is one of the more stunning bags I’ve seen in a while. I don’t normally like camel colored bags. In fact, I don’t own a camel colored bag and I never intend to unless the bag looks like this. The structure of this bag is simple but yet timeless.

It’s my dream to one day own a Alexander McQueen “Skull” clutch. Judith Leiber has the most beautiful evening clutches but the “Skull” box clutch is right up there too. What I love the most about the “Skull” box clutch is that every season Alexander McQueen makes them look 100% different looking than the last. They maybe the same shape but the pattern is always different. One day, I will own one or two, I know it!

At the moment an Alexander McQueen “Skull” box clutch isn’t in my budget but when I saw the Serpui Marie “bergman” Skull Minaudiere, I screamed! It reminded me of the coveted clutch by McQueen but it was priced a lot less! This is the type of minaudiere that I would use non-stop. It’s gorgeous and would look amazing with my wardrobe. Most of my evening outfits are black and based on the stock photo above, this clutch looks stunning against black!

I’m craving to buy a new black handbag. However, I’m very picky and it has to look perfect. I see handbags as investments because if I’m going to pay a large amount of money for a bag I better get a lot of use out of it. The only way I would get a lot of use out of a bag is if I know I’m going to use it non-stop. So for me, a black handbag has to be structured beautifully and have gold hardware. Both are crucial for me and if a bag doesn’t meet my criteria it’s an automatic, no.
