While doing my yearly holiday shopping I came across the Diane von Furstenberg “Zip Around Python Wallet” and instantly fell in love.

The exterior is made of python-embossed cowhide leather, that’s right, no adorable little snakes were hurt in the process. But what really first caught my eye is the gorgeous turquoise green color called “Reef” – it’s the same color as my Essie “Turquoise & Caicos” manicure. The color is so pretty!

I’m sure it comes as no surprise when I say my favorite handbag of 2011 was by none other than Michael Kors. In the past two years I have went from loving multicolored handbags to being obsessed with black leather handbags that feature gold hardware. Every time I see any type of handbag in this color combination I literally squeal!

When Michael Kors released the “Joan” satchel, I was instantly in love. Yes, it wasn’t my typical color combination of black leather and gold hardware but it was truly a beautiful bag. I’ve always been one for satchels and the style of this one was impeccable. The “Joan” really gives off a classy and sophisticated style and because of that I fell in love with it.

I don’t deny that I love classic handbags. I love the sleek lines, tailoring and the never-go-out-of-style security that when I buy a quality bag, I’m going to carry it for years. So, it was incredibly difficult to narrow down my choices for classic bags for giving. These are some of my favorites and they show that classic isn’t boring!

A beautiful classic bag featuring Gucci’s timeless bamboo handles features this striking cobalt blue. I’m completely obsessed with this color and don’t think I will stop for a long time to come. Another season-less color that goes with more than you think! For the special girl who loves classic style but with a fashion forward sensibility, this is the perfect bag! $2,150 at Saks Fifth Avenue

A couple years ago, the color “cobalt” was everywhere. Every designer got in on the trend especially when it came to handbags. I don’t own anything cobalt, as it doesn’t match my wardrobe at all, but I will admit it’s a gorgeous color.

It seems that cobalt is back when a vengeance. Just today, I spotted a bunch of Michael Kors clothes in cobalt and now I see Clare Vivier has designed a simple but stunning “Fold Over” clutch in the popular color. I always agree with the saying, “Less is more” and that’s exactly what Clare Vivier did with the “Fold Over” Clutch.

Fendi has been producing some beautiful bags lately and the new Duffle Satchel is a striking bag that stands out from the crowd of satchels. More fashion forward designs are available and Fendi has even embraced the color block trend in a more subtle way that isn’t quite as trendy as the bold colors we have been seeing lately. There are several options of colors to choose from so that you can go from subtle to bold!

It is never too early to start thinking about your holiday shopping list! Who is the most “difficult” person to buy for on your list? For some, it is the tween or teen on their list. After all, they are going through a very special time in their life when they change their mind every 10 seconds. Oddly enough, it is also a time when many girls start to take notice of handbags… and (gasp) designer handbags. But we all knew that! We were all tweens and teens ourselves at one time! So it only makes sense that the perfect gift just might be the perfect handbag. Below you will find some of my top handbag picks for tweens and teens. So whether you’ll be shopping for someone who falls into that category, or you happen to be a tween or teen yourself, then be sure to check them out!

1. Juicy Couture Sequin Crown Day Dreamer
You can never go wrong with the classic terry velour Day Dreamer! Plus it is available in a variety of colors. What I like about this bag is that it appeals to the younger crowd, but it isn’t too kiddie (just keep the colors neutral). So depending on how youthful you feel yourself, you might find yourself wanting to borrow this bag from your daughter/sister/niece/whatever!

The petite and massively structured clutch has had its share among various designers. It must be a popular style if many have presented their own version of the squared clutch, just never really thought it came so handy with such minor dimensions. The latest adaptation of the structured clutch comes from Diane von Furstenberg. The Tonda clutch features a rectangular shape, wrapped around in fine leather, with a metal frame that gives it the extra stiff structure.
