I know the Neiman Marcus + Target Holiday Collection was not a hit. If it was the collection wouldn’t have been marked down to 70% off. However, I was absolutely obsessed with the collection. I was in love with the Alice + Olivia black and white suitcase but I did wait for it to hit 70% off before buying it. To my surprise, it was great quality and I the bags it came with inside were so cute! Black and white are two of my favorite colors but now I’ve been trying to find other bags that match the suitcase so I can travel in matching style!

When it comes to handbags, Milly isn’t normally on my radar. Designed by Michelle Smith, the brand attempts to bring together vintage and modern elements. Originally intended for the younger woman, Milly has developed quite the following among celebrities. Yet when I think of this brand, I still think of clothing… not handbags. Well that might be changing here soon. Over the years, there have been a few Milly handbags that caught my eye. Perhaps there is more to Milly than I had previously thought. That is why I decided to write about the bag you see here. Introducing the Milly Lola Canteen Bag! This one definitely caught my eye!

Crossbody bags were a big trend in 2011. I remember last Christmas, all my friends wanted a crossbody bag as one of their gifts. A lot of my friends even gave crossbody bags to their girlfriends as gifts. I have to admit I hated crossbody bags last year. The fact that everyone was in on the trend and that they were so small was not appealing to me. Fast forward to 2012, and now I’m in love with them! I’m definitely someone that has always loved bigger handbags because I tend to carry half of what I own in my bag! It’s that serious! Crossbody bags are on the smaller side and give me a break from carrying a five pound bag around with me.

There are a lot of cute crossbody bags out there right now but one I really like is the Marc by Marc Jacobs “Katie” Bracelet Crossbody Bag. It’s very small but I absolutely love that the chain strap is versatile! Whether you decide to wear the chain long, doubled or tucked inside the bag it will always look adorable! Being able to style a bag in three different ways is kind of like buying three different bags and it gives you the ability to accessorize it with an array of outfits.

Obsessed: Marc by Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran Bag

Grey is my favorite neutral when it comes to handbags. It’s a terrific color that goes with everything. And more importantly it’s a shade that will look awesome no matter the season.

Pair it with: anything! In the picture the model is wearing a Giles & Brother Skinny Cortina Cuff, Current/Elliott The Ankle Skinny Jeans, Boy by Band of Outsiders Shirt with Leather Trim and Rag & Bone Newbury Booties

Well, at least they are different enough for me to take notice. One style in particular really caught my eye. Meet the Foley + Corinna Exotic Cadeau Bag!
