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!

I recently won a Samsung Galaxy 10.1 Tablet and I’ve been on the hunt for a case for it! I’ve always wanted a touch screen computer and now that I got one for free, you better believe I’m going to take care of it. It’s hard to find a case that is labeled for the Galaxy so I figured I’d look for one that fits the iPad. Maybe my tablet will fit in a case for the iPad if I’m lucky. If not, the hunt continues. I probably should check the measurements, that would probably be a smart thing to do.

It’s no surprise that I love clutches, especially evening clutches, as I write about them often. One that really caught my eye was the Rebecca Minkoff New Studded “Fling” Clutch. It’s fierce, fashionable and definitely edgy. It’s a great bag to carry to a really fun event or even a party.

I just attended my Alma Mater’s homecoming game. Getting dressed for it is always a chore as I’m not a big “fan” of team gear. I typically wear basics and add a spot of my team’s color. Ironically, I have very little of either color in my wardrobe. The second big fashion issue with attending these games is bag related. Taking my big satchel, hobo or other style I own in my closet invariably involves sitting the bag below my seat…or holding it the entire game. Neither is too appealing. With today’s abundance of small cross-body bags and color options, it should be a snap finding a suitable bag for these events! Here’s some great ones for you to consider on game day!

Marc by Marc Jacobs Classic Q Karlie Bag
If your team is a mean green fighting machine, this is the bag for you! 9″ x 5.5″ x 1.5″ with credit card slots, will keep your belongings perfectly with ease for game day. Striking name plate on the front says you’re a fashionable fan. $258.

Rebecca Minkoff Mini Zip Clutch
Edgy zippered clutch with cross body strap measures 9″ x 7″ x 1″. It’s perfect to show you ar a seriously tough fan and it will take you into a night out as well! And it doesn’t break the bank either! $195.

Every now and then I think everyone in this world needs a little pick me up. It’s hard to be happy and act like everything is OK everyday, especially when they are not. For me, when I’m down I love to read positive quotes. On my computer I have a document saved of all my favorite uplifting quotes, it’s like they are a reminder of why you should continue to be positive. They give me hope and help me to strive forward.

When I saw the Rebecca Minkoff “Positive Change” Cory Pouch, I instantly fell in love. I’ve always like the messages featured on the Cory but this one made me smile. This year has personally been a struggle for me, and the pouch was a reminder for me that a positive change can always happen in your life at any given moment.

Gosh darn it! I am still dreaming of a 3.1 Phillip Lim Edie Bow Bag. They sure are impossible to find now, aren’t they? Oh well, I suppose this will cheer me up. I stumbled across a bag that sort of reminds me of my dream bag today. It’s the Rebecca Minkoff Sweetie Bag!

Rebecca Minkoff never ceases to amaze me. Everything she designs is flawless, amazing and oh-so-fashionable. She really is becoming one of the fastest iconic brands out there and there isn’t a true fashionista out there that doesn’t know what the “Morning After Bag” is. I currently own one “Morning After Bag” and I look forward to the day that I can add more to my collection. It’s definitely one of the best handbags a collector can ever add to their collection.

When I spotted the Rebecca Minkoff Woven “Apache” Slouch Bag on Shop Bop my mouth dropped! I thought it was beautiful and looked very different than anything Ms. Minkoff had ever designed before. The whole wrinkled effect on a bucket bag is brilliant! It makes the bag catch your eye and want it even more! Even the gold hardware compliments this bag well and gives it more of a classic look! I’m a fan!
