Every year you can always count on the Metallic handbag trend around the Fall / Winter season. It’s one of those trends that refuses to die, it’s like stuck on a repeat schedule. Not that I’m complaining, I think it’s the perfect choice to match with a little black dress, especially around the holiday season. One that fits the bill, is the Juicy Couture Lady Lock. When it comes to Juicy Couture handbags, my opinion always falls to one side – either I like it or I don’t. And this one I definitely like (minus the chain).

I have never owned a Gucci handbag. For that matter, I’m not sure I’ve owned anything by Gucci. There have been some items I’ve admired in the past… like that darling high gloss crocodile handbag I saw in the New York flagship store back in 2003. I’ve kicked myself for not purchasing it at a reasonable $2,000. (Similar bags are now $15,000) But I am seeing so much more about the line to love. I’ve always admired the horsebit detail and I am loving it on the Gucci Techno Horsebit Cellarius Metallic Medium Hobo!

Sophisticated in it’s clean lines and sleek styling, this bag has taken the traditional Techno Hobo to a much higher level. I would have to classify it as a classic bag as you would be able to carry for year’s to come. There’s just enough detail to keep it from being boring. An interesting leather luggage tag, sumptuous tassle with bamboo detailing and gorgeous knot detail wrapped around the horsebit detail. Softly gleaming silver-tone details finish the look perfectly. There are no rough or unfinished details to this bag. Each design element flows seamlessly from one to the other.

If Disney’s Princess Ariel can have any clutch she desired, this one would probably be it. Judith Leiber and her amazing collection takes inspirations from the sea with her Clam Shell fine-crystal Clutch. It’s pretty self explanatory and being a piece by Leiber, you know how incredibly stunning this piece is in real life. Pay attention to the exquisite detailing of this clam clutch and you’ll see how each multi-hued crystal creates this colorful and dazzling piece. Some cluster lines even feature miniature pearl detailing within the Swarovski crystals. Whether this clutch would fit your lifestyle or not, you cannot deny the fact that this piece, and like most Leiber accessories, is hands down stunning. This exquisite piece is not for the average pocket book as a whooping $4,395 is the asking price for this clutch. With that said, I’ll just take a look and nothing more.

The Chat: clam shell!

If you’re looking for a bag that’s artistic and feminine, a great path to discover is the stunning collections of Valentino Garavani. The Houses elegant pieces are quite charming, even if they’re not your style; you’re sure to admire them. I believe I have officially run into the most elegant Valentino handbag I’ve seen. It’s the Alice Glam sequin and feathers Tote, and by all means take your time and stare, as there is a lot going on in this piece. The simple concept of a nude leather doctor’s satchel is then adorned with an array of textiles. A complex design of beads and sequin creates this grand swirling appearance and then an array of multi sized rhinestones gives off the last finishing touches to this ultra shining piece. Simply turn this piece to its opposite side and you’ll discover a dangling tail of feathers, a more exotic attempt to Valentino’s common florals and ruffles.

Marc Jacobs has designed one of the cutest clutches I have ever seen for him Marc By Marc Jacobs line. The clutch if called the “Party Girl” Heart Appliqué Clutch and it’s adorable!

I’m not sure if I would actually use this clutch, but it would be a cute accessory to have. It’s available in black and purple, and it looks way better in black. You can see the hearts more on the purple clutch, but black is more ideal to match with your wardrobe than purple. I also think the gold tone hardware looks much better on the black clutch than the purple. Gold always pops out more on a dark color, and it shows on this clutch.

Whether it’s purses or shoes Christian Louboutin is one of my ultimate weaknesses. Unfortunately, I don’t own any Christian Louboutin pieces but the accessories definitely make me drool. The shoes have always been eye candy to my eyes. I absolutely love heels, and to own a pair of black high heeled Christian Louboutin heels would complete my intense shoe collection.

Even though I can’t purchase any Christian Louboutin pieces at the moment, it doesn’t mean I can’t admire them. When I spotted the “Lolita” Wristlet my mouth dropped. Yes, it’s not as pretty as a pair of shoes, but it is adorable!
