It’s about that time of year again! Yes, I’m talking about Fall! And that means it’s time for all those animal prints to come out of the closet! What was once called a “trend” is now becoming a classic wardrobe essential for those months when the leaves begin to fall. Why? I think the reason this look keeps cropping up year after year is because it makes you feel kind of warm and fuzzy. And that’s just the feeling you want when the temperatures outside begin to drop. This look can also be a lot of fun, even a little bit quirky. But please ladies! If you decide to do the animal print thing this Fall… be sure to do it right! Just one piece, like a structured handbag, is all you need! There really is no need to pile it on!

Some bags just leave me frozen in my footsteps, which is exactly what happens everytime I come across the Yves Saint Laurent Roady in person, online, or in store. It’s one of my favorite styles by Yves Saint Laurent. I love the bags clean silhouette and memorable single top handle with gold toned hooks and rings. And now for a limited time it’s available in a roaring leopard print. Gosh, love it! Leopard is a huge trend for fall, and the Roady is my pick!

There’s something about the round puffy appearance of a pompom that seems to attract mass attention, and the House of Louboutin seems to agree as well. Of course, the pompon we’re eyeing is presented in a clutch form, not as juvenile shoe décor. Feast your eyes on one of the latest creations of C. Louboutin, the Eden Vision Fur Ball Clutch.

By just focusing on the miniature shoulder candy alone, you must admit that this little accessory poof is absolutely adorable. Dangling this around by its chained straps or by simply carrying at the palm of your hand, and you’ve got an instant cuddle-ball accessory that doubles as an essential possessions holder. Sure you’ll be lucky to get your cell phone to fit into the insignificant interior of this clutch, but while you attempt to jam things into it, take note of the bright red lining and the recognizable kiss-lock shoe sculptures.

The Rebecca Minkoff Lover’s Clutch is back by popular demand! As you may recall, I wrote about this clutch back in September of last year (check it out here: Rebecca Minkoff Lover’s Clutch). It was a highly sought-after style back then and it is still a highly sought-after style today! What’s different is that the Rebecca Minkoff Lover’s Clutch is now available in an alligator embossed leather. But wait just a minute! I hate to break it to you Rebecca, but that’s no alligator! As a biologist, I will tell you that your alligator embossed leather looks more like snake embossed leather. Just take a look at the belly “scales” running down the middle of the clutch. Oh well, I suppose I will forgive you this time. After all, this is one gorgeous clutch regardless of what the embossing is supposed to be!

It’s not too often that I can say a designer has thrown me for a loop. But I think, right at this very moment, Marni has done just that! Check out this Marni Goat Hair Bag and you will see what I mean. The bag features a black goat hair exterior, which is full length in the front and shaved in the back. Now I’m all for unique and unusual textures when it comes to handbags, but this bag looks downright shaggy.

I suppose though you could sport this bag if you were in the mood for something quirky. It is certainly something that would get heads turning in a crowded room. If you’re feeling brave enough to try pulling this baby off, then you don’t want to overdo it. Definitely pair this bag with an all-black outfit and let the texture of the bag do all the talking.
