Michael Kors is one of my favorite designers. Almost everything the man comes out with, I fall in love with. I especially love his shoes and handbags. When it comes to any designer, I’m not into the logo-print handbags too much but I can honestly say I love Michael Kors’ leather handbags. I love that Michael Kors designs both hip and classy handbags. At the moment, I’m in awe with the MICHAEL Michael Kors “Bedford”. It’s classy, timeless and a stunning bag to carry around all year long.

Halloween is just around the corner! It is such a fun holiday, especially the dressing up part! But you don’t have to dress up to get into the spirit of this holiday. It is actually a great time to experiment. My suggestion? Give a Halloween-ish style handbag a try! What’s so fun about this idea is that you can carry something somewhat outside of your comfort zone without feeling silly. It is Halloween, after all! Need help finding something to fit the bill? Simply check out my list of suggestions below. There are four categories and an example for each one. Enjoy!

Halloween-ish Category #1 – Gothic-inspired

House of Harlow 1960 Rey Bag
What is more gorgeous than a bordeaux velvet pouch? I love the Victorian-esque flower pattern on the antiqued frame closure. Plus the extra-long chain strap is perfect for cross-body wear. Definitely gothic-inspired! But don’t worry, this piece is tame enough so that people won’t think you’ve been shopping at Hot Topic.

Halloween-ish Category #2 – Furry

Michael Kors Hutton Box Frame Bag
Still not feeling the fur trend that has invaded practically every nook and cranny this season? This cute little box frame bag is a great candidate for testing the waters! It sort of reminds me of a furry little monster on a chain, perfect for Halloween! I absolutely adore the box chain strap, it’s so unique!

The Louis Vuitton “Speedy” has always been one of my favorite handbags. It’s perfect, classic and goes with just about anything wardrobe wise. One problem with the “Speedy” is that they are pricey especially if they come out in limited edition collections.

Other designers have taken the design of the “Speedy” and put their own little touch or flare to it. One of those designers is Michael Kors. The MICHAEL Michael Kors “Grayson” is fabulous all on its own and is a fraction of the price of a Louis Vuitton “Speedy”.

As the Fall season draws nearer, I’m finding myself becoming more and more depressed. I can’t help it, I’m just not a Fall/Winter girl. What I need is a little pick-me-up. And I know exactly what will do the trick! Rather than switching to an all Fall color palette, I propose adding a pop of the unexpected. My eye is on hot pink at the moment. It is so not a Fall color, but I think it looks great paired with all the browns, oranges, and burgundies of the season. That’s why I am loving the Michael Kors Ostrich Embossed Gia in Neon Pink!

I’m still enjoying pool side relaxation this time of year, so perhaps it’s a bit to soon to consider what accessories to get for Fall 2011. Even if we’re months away from the next season, a sneak peek into the future of what’s trending this Fall isn’t technically a bad idea. Plus, can anyone possibly deny a glimpse of what’s heading our way?

Designers have been pouring their designs out months in advance, and one attractive piece that caught my attention is from the Michael Kors Collection. If you’re not a fur type of gal, perhaps this is the first step closer to adjusting to animal hides in the wardrobe, greet the Gia Haircalf Satchel.

“My Mother travels constantly and loves the idea of a bad that’s both utilitarian and luxurious, so I created the Joan bad for her. I hope you enjoy it as much as she does!” – Michael Kors

Those are the exact words hanging from the MICHAEL Michael Kors “Joan” bag. I know, because I fell in love with this bag today and bought it today at Bloomingdales. I’ve been looking for a new black handbag for a while and this one instantly caught my attention. I would like it a tad bit better if it was available in gold hardware but the silver hardware is good enough.

By just looking at this bag on the display, it looked very simple. When I had the sales associate take it down for me it was far more than simple. The “Joan” bag screams classy but sophisticated, which is not my style at all but I love it. I’m more into edgy handbags that catch your eye but when I held this bag in front of the mirror I was sold!

I’m obsessed with Michael Kors. His purses are reasonably priced and sometimes they are as drop dead gorgeous as any other designer out there. When I laid my eyes on the MICHAEL Michael Kors “Jewel” Clutch I was instantly in love. Not only was it an affordable price but it was way different than anything Mr. Kors has ever done before. It’s not your typical Michael Kors bag and I think that’s why I love it so much.

I’m not sure if I would classify this purse as an evening clutch or a fancy handbag. It’s not too over the top that it can be only used at night and it’s not casual either. I would say this is the type of handbag you can carry around whenever you want. I suppose that gives it an edge over other bags. It’s great for the daytime and it’s dressy enough for night.
