I remember when I was in 9th Grade the biggest craze was messenger bags. Literally every girl, out of the 200 of us, had a messenger bag. It was odd to see someone actually hauling around their books in a book bag. The boys used book bags, the girls used messenger bags that’s just the way it was. My aunt had taken me to Macy’s and let me pick one out. I picked out one by Guess? and it was $32. In reality, hardly any of my books fit in it but boy did I feel stylish. I think 2 books fit inside it and I had to carry the rest in my arms.

I know what you’re thinking. Why would I pick such an “ordinary” handbag as my favorite of 2011? Let’s face it, I absolutely love bright colors and unusual designs when it comes to handbags. Or at the very least, some funky hardware (Hello, Alexander Wang!). I write about them all the time. Sure they are fun, but truly loving a handbag long-term requires a little bit more than just bells and whistles. It has to be timeless and practical enough to wear with just about anything. This is why I chose the Proenza Schouler PS1 Large Satchel as my top pick for 2011!

Clutches are amazing especially oversized ones. When you’re as unorganized and messy as me a clutch is perfect. You can only fit so much in a small pouch and it keeps you organized. Probably not a good thing to admit I’m messy but I am. I’m so unorganized it’s pitiful but at least I an promise that my hygiene is amazing. I just have a struggle with keeping things neat and together but after a while I do get the urge to clean it.

I haven’t been paying much attention to Pippa Middleton, younger sister of the Duchess of Cambridge. But when I stumbled across this photo of her, I immediately stopped in my tracks. It wasn’t her outfit that caught my attention. Although I will admit she looks great dressed head-to-toe in light denim blue. Her top is adorable, I love the ruffled bib and satin covered buttons! No, it was the gorgeous handbag held firmly in her hand that drew me in. But who makes it? I had to do a little digging to find out. It’s from a London-based designer called Modalu.

Thirty-year-old Brazilian model, Alessandra Ambrosio was spotted the other day while out and about with some friends. I’m not going to lie, I absolutely love her style! For the occasion, she wore a turquoise strapless maxi dress. She completed her look with some tan/nude accessories, including a leather belt and flat sandals. What caught my attention most, however, was the nude handbag she was toting! It’s the Loewe Ostrich Amazona Bag and, wow, it is gorgeous!

Selena Gomez spotted at the 2011 Teen Choice Awards held at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, California. In hand is M.C.L. By Matthew Campbell hot pink Art Deco inspired Laurenza Miniaudiere from the Gold Crest Collection.

The Laurenza Miniaudiere is dressed in snakeskin and Italian leather and adorned with a starfish sterling silver detail.

Locating this clutch may be a little tricky. All the major department stores like Bloomindales, Saks, Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman carry this designers jewelry online no bags though. However there are dozens of stores listed on the website.

I am normally a fan of Reese Witherspoon’s style. Her everyday look is casual and care-free, sometimes with a little bit of boho mixed in. When I saw this photo, however, I was taken aback just a little bit. I suppose the blue and white woven top isn’t so bad by itself. It is those white jeans that are throwing me off. The outfit looks too matchy-matchy, as if the pieces came together as a set. But I suppose I can forgive her. After all, her taste in handbags appears to be completely unaffected. Check out that gorgeous bag on her arm! It is the Chloe Marcie Hobo!
