Beirn (pronounced “burn”) is known for bringing us brightly colored, exotic handbags at an affordable price point. Created by Rita Overzat and her two daughters, the brand first became famous when their Jenna Hobo was spotted on the arm of Sarah Jessica Parker (AKA Carrie Bradshaw) in the Sex and the City movie. Recently, however, it appears as though Beirn has been going for a slightly different look — Metallics! Introducing the Beirn Metallic Meg Tote. And since metallics are not just for the fall/winter months anymore, this genuine watersnake tote would make an excellent investment all-around. The gentle pleating really softens the silhouette of this oversized tote, making this the perfect accessory for day or night.

When it comes to handbags, 2-in-1 styles are always cool. Who doesn’t like the versatility? Or, for that matter, the fun? So when a 4-in-1 style comes along, you know it has to be super cool! And the Katherine Kwei Amber Switch Bag is just that — super cool! All cheesiness aside though, the Amber Switch Bag is like nothing I have ever seen before. At first glance, you would never guess that this is a 4-in-1 bag. From the modeling pictures, it is obvious that this bag can be worn as either a crossbody bag or a clutch (thanks to the detachable shoulder strap). Is this something new? Of course not!

Alright ladies! Raise your hand if it reached 50 degrees outside for the first time since December 1st in your area? It has here! Wow… all that snow out there if finally melting, the birds are singing, and it even rained (yes, rained) last night! I have been suffering from an extremely bad case of Spring Fever since, well, since Thanksgiving. And now, finally, I think I may have been cured!

So now it’s time to start making those summer plans! To start, I think a new beach tote is in order. What about this new Juicy Couture Sunrise Tote?

Saks Fifth Avenue has a slew of Prada handbags available for Pre-Order and one of them is the “Nappa Antique” Tote. When I first laid my eyes on this tote I was in love. Everything about this bag is stunning but the price of course. I’ve been looking for a cream colored handbag for quite some time now, and this is definitely one of the prettiest ones I have seen out of them all.

What I love about this bag is that it has that “old” look to it. I suppose that’s why “Antique” is featured in the name of the bag.

Most of us Bagista’s are quite familiar with Christian Dior’s spacious shopper totes and throughout the seasons, we’ve seen the modification of the different textures and colors on these handy totes.

For S/S ’10, Dior presents a quilted coated canvas in the stunning shade of fuchsia. I could settle with quilted coated canvas, but when it comes to this Dior style, rich leather would have been my pick.

Normally, I only carry large handbags that don’t give me a limit to what I can carry on a daily basis, but recently something small has caught my eye.

These new clutches presented by Diane von Furstenberg are indeed, très belle! Just take a look at how lady like and elegant these pieces appear to be.

The soft, lighter toned version with its oversized gunmetal hardware seems ideal for that holiday formal event, and seriously, how stunning is the color combination.

Glancing at this hobo for the first time, I would have never imagined this odd ball belonging to Foley + Corinna. It’s pretty different from the usual accessories the All-American brand tends to release.

Actually, this is the first time I run upon the moto style hobo’s that F+C has introduced this Fall/Winter season, and frankly, I like them.

From the looks of this, it’s not your typically structured handbag, as you might need to take a few to figure out what’s where on this slouchy hobo.

Tis’ the season to throw sequins onto pretty much everything you can get sequins onto. From ornaments to sweaters, you can buy all of your accessories and wants glamed and ready for the holidays.

I myself fell victim of a black sequined skinny scarf; it’s cute, can get uncomfortable every once in a while, but I can see myself hanging it up after winter for the next year to come. But what about a sequined handbag, could it possibly last you the season plus the following year? I’d say yes, especially since I’d say the glimmery trend is to wear every so often, not necessarily everyday.
