The holidays are just around the corner! I know this is supposed to be a happy time of year, but for some reason I have been feeling a little depressed. Perhaps it is because there is less sunlight right now. I always feel gloomy when it is gloomy outside. So I was thinking I needed a little spring added to my step. And what better way to do that than buying a new handbag? Now there is a holiday trend that I think will make the perfect fit. Any guesses? Nothing screams holiday spirit more than candy apple red! I have been wanting a new red handbag for a long time, so what better time than now? And if you happen to feel the same way I do, then I suggest you take a look at this trend. After all, red handbags are A LOT of fun! To get you started, check out the styles featured below!

Tory Burch Bow Envelope in Lobster Red. $275
Nothing is more beautiful than patent candy apple red. It is so slick and shiny, just like a candy apple. I absolutely love it on crossbody bags! The small size is perfect for such a flashy color. Plus I love the sweet little bow on this particular piece. It is just too cute!

Obsessed: Tory Burch Megan Mini Bag
Have you guys seen Tory Burch’s latest logo? I’m such a fan.

This latest addition is part of the Megan collection. Made of smooth lamb leather and topped off with the new ‘T’ logo. Pretty fab! The best part? You can wear it two ways — long across the body or in-hand with its short chain link top handle.

Available in Parisian Blue, Black, Peruvian Opal and Sahara (so pretty!).
Retails for $365

Pair it with this gorgeous silk blue Joie Karelle Sweater and a pair of Current/Elliott black lace Skinny Jeans.

What is it about the crossbody style that I love so much? I’m a huge fan of hands free. Whether I’m going to a concert or on a shopping binge, it’s a weekend favorite of mine.

Wondering what to look for? Bags that are crossbody should have an ideal length of 20″ + which all of these bags do.

1. Marc Jacobs Quilted Little Stam. $995
MJ Stam’s lil sister, the petite version is one of my favorite crossbody bags. It’s a popular style so it’s available in so many different colors. This bag has also been around for some time, so if you’re looking for a deal you can find the previous season for a great deal on eBay {Stams Page on eBay}.

2. WGACA Vintage Chanel Mini Bag. $2,730
Go vintage! I don’t have to tell you this, but Chanel is one of those labels that has looked amazing since the beginning. It’s passed the test of time. It’s a classic by every fashionista’s standards.

Late summer release or early resort? Whether the timing was accurate or not, you have to agree that the Baja Bags truly stands out amongst the crowd of fall accessories. I love the blacks and gloomy items of the season but Tory Burch successfully blended carnival stripes onto a durable canvas bag and we’re digging that as well.

Colorful prints are trending this season, but it’s the absence of fall inspirations on this creation that allows this piece to stand out even more. Muted orange, blues, and berry hues are mixed into this colorful palette, while the golden textured rope pulls this handbag together. Without dark cosmic colors, faux furs or hints of sparkle appliqué, we wonder if this tote is a style savvy accessory for the season.

At the moment, I’m a proud owned of a Mac Book Pro by Apple. It’s literally my baby and the best computer I’ve ever bought. I haven’t had one problem with it, knock on wood, and I’ve had it for two years next month. I’m not a technology person at all and to me, Apple is more user friendly than a PC. Now I’m eagerly waiting till the iPhone 5 is in my hands. After the iPhone 5, my next purchase will be the iPad. I’m currently attending two Acting Schools and school books can be pricey. It’s much easier to download an e-book and pay half the price for the same book.

I’m craving to buy a new black handbag. However, I’m very picky and it has to look perfect. I see handbags as investments because if I’m going to pay a large amount of money for a bag I better get a lot of use out of it. The only way I would get a lot of use out of a bag is if I know I’m going to use it non-stop. So for me, a black handbag has to be structured beautifully and have gold hardware. Both are crucial for me and if a bag doesn’t meet my criteria it’s an automatic, no.

Obsession: Tory Burch Michelle Bucket Tote

Could the big bag trend be returning? In recent seasons I’ve chosen to opt for the smaller, petite shapes but I’m going to make an exception here. I’m obsessed with the new Michelle Bucket Tote.

What I love most about this Michelle everyday carryall tote is the clean profile, spacious bucket size and how the body of bag can easily be transformed with a few snaps into a trapezoidal shape.

Pair it with the Wilt Open Back Top and alice + olivia Dawn Haircalf Flats

Tory Burch is one of my favorite designer brands at the moment and I’m craving to have a handbag by the coveted brand. I was able to score some Tory Burch flats at Nordstrom Rack a few months back and I’ve been eying handbags by the brand ever since. Obviously, I want a larger handbag to hold all the stuff I carry around on a daily basis but I can’t help but love the Tory Burch Robinson “Shrunken” Satchel.
