A favorite among celebrities, CC Skye has always made good looking handbags! My all time favorite style from this designer is probably the Turner Hobo (as seen on “Gossip Girl” Katie Cassidy). But I stumbled across a new CC Skye handbag that I think will become a very close second! Introducing the CC Skye Lady Bag!

Just like its name implies, this bag is very lady-like. The simple name is complemented by a simple trapezoid shape, which starts larger at the bottom and tapers up toward the top. I love the flap front and classic “mademoiselle”- like twist lock closure. I also like the croc-embossing adorning the flap, which adds an little extra hint of luxe to this style without taking over the entire bag.

While thinking about the idea of a gift guide for the working woman, I immediately thought of Zappo. Zappos has a huge selection of brand names with more high end designers added all of the time. Items are received so quickly, you will swear you just completed the order online! Shipping is free both ways and returns can be made within 365 days of purchase. So, easy and convenient for the working woman if the gift isn’t quite what she was needing!

Zappos has so many items to choose from, but I immediately went to the satchels. A working woman needs to put her life into her bag to meets the needs from 7am to 7pm. Let’s face it, does 9 to 5 really exist anymore? It should be roomy but have lots of compartments for organization. If she can slip in her laptop or ipad, it’s a huge bonus. File folders – perhaps. The bag should be ready for the job she wants and fulfill the needs of the one she has. And stylish? A must!

The Botkier Haven Satchel is a slim option that will hold your business items nicely. At 13 1/2″ x 11 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ there’s room for your laptop, cosmetic case, wallet and other essentials. Made of Italian leather for a luxe feel. It has a 16″ drop shoulder strap and a handle. This bag will take you places for $549!

Katie Cassidy was shooting a new episode for Season 4 of Gossip Girl with co-star Chace Crawford at Columbia University last Wednesday. Her outfit consisted of a light gray ruched dress topped with a navy blue pinstriped blazer. Her look was accented with a multi-strand pearl necklace. Classy! But what is that pop of color I see dangling from Katie’s hand? It’s the CC Skye Turner Hobo in a delicious shade of red! Yummy!

The CC Skye Turner Hobo is the perfect everyday bag. I love the classic hobo shape and the gentle pleating detail. The leather is super soft, but lightweight as well. The gold tone hardware and studs are understated, drawing the eye in and holding your interest without taking away from the overall look of the bag. It isn’t classic, but it isn’t trendy either. What a great way to update your look! Katie did a great job picking this beauty out! Or was that the handy work of the Gossip Girl wardrobe staff?
