With the start of a new decade is anyone seeking to replace some of their beloved everyday accessories for more current and newer styles? I personally am in search of a new cosmetic bag and I know just were to go if I want the luxurious designer piece, but sometimes cheap thrills find their way into your collection, especially when they retail for no more than $50. If you seek you shall find, and I spotted these cute name brand pieces carrying extra affordable price tags.

I’ve been looking for quite some time, for a designer travel bag. I love the Louis Vuitton “Keepall” bags, but I kind of wanted something black. Using a bag as a travel bag can get dirty very easily especially if you travel a lot. My travel bags are notorious for getting fifty, so I knew a Louis Vuitton “Keepall” was definitely out of the question for me.

I have a black travel bag now, and you can’t even notice the wear and tear on it. I use it constantly, and for it to still look brand new is amazing.

When I spotted the Burberry “Weekender” Bag, I was in love! It was everything I was looking for in a designer travel bag! It was black, the perfect size, and came with a shoulder strap. I tend to carry a lot of shoes in my travel bags, so a shoulder strap is always a must.

It doesn’t look like you would be able to fit much in this bag, but I do think it would be a great carry on bag. Face it, nowadays you can’t have a big carry on bag to bring with you on the plane. If you can find a bag that can hold some clothes, shoes, and personal items then you got a winner. When a travel bag can do all that, plus be made by one of your favorite designer’s then that makes it all the more reason to buy it! Right?

The Burberry “Weekender” Bag can be purchased at Nordstrom for $795, which I believe is a great price for this bag. It’s not very often you can find a designer travel bag below $1,000 and that is a fact! It’s pretty, simple, and does justice for what you need it for. I give Burberry a “thumbs up” for designing this beautiful piece!

Juicy Couture always has the cutest totes, and the “Set List Embellished Cotton Canvas Tote” is no different. Juicy Couture’s tote’s are usually on the large side and have an open top. It’s nice to see the designer brand come out with a smaller tote that indeed has a zipper closure.

I’m not sure if I would never use this tote, but I won’t deny the fact that it’s super cute. It reminds me of something a younger girl would use as a purse or gym bag for school.

What I like most about this tote is jewel-embellished logo. I would consider this bag to be fairly simple, but the jewels give the bag that touch to make it look a little flashy.

The quirky sayings accent the bag well. It’s like when you look at the bag, you can’t help but read them. My favorite ones are, “Juicy loves drama” and “I love night in the city.” I don’t know about Juicy Couture loving drama, but a lot of Juicy items I would say are on the dramatic side, which makes the designer brand so fabulous.

Juicy does go way over the top with anything they come out with and I do believe that is what makes them stand out in the crowd. Everything is always: pink, outrageous, and definitely stunning.

The Juicy Couture “Embellished Cotton Canvas Tote” can be purchased at Saks Fifth Avenue for $88, which is a steal for a Juicy bag. Juicy Couture bags are pretty high priced, so to see one under $100 is amazing! If you have a younger daughter, grand-daughter, or niece you may want to check out this tote for them!

Halloween is coming, and skulls seem to be everywhere. Some designers, like Ed Hardy and Alexander McQueen, have been known to put skulls all over their stylish goods. Betsey Johnson has came out with the “Tote-ally Reversible Skull Tote” and it would be super cute to use during October.

I would probably only use this tote in October. When I think of Halloween, I immediately think of bats, vampires, witches, and skulls. I’m a huge fan of skulls, but I’ve never had a handbag that had one on it. Then again, I suppose if you wear a lot of black, or love skulls in general you could use this handbag whenever you wanted.

I would classify this tote as edgy. I don’t think anyone would use this bag when you’re going somewhere fancy, or to a special occasion. This bag would look great with any outfit that features black. Whether, it’s leggings, skinny jeans, or just by wearing some sort of black top this bag would look great.

The coolest part about this bag is that it is reversible. If you ever get sick of having a skull on your bag, you can always reverse it and use the side that features tons of roses. It’s a clever idea because that way you can never get sick of the bag!

The Betsey Johnson “Tote-ally Reversible Skull Tote” can be purchased at Nordstrom for $110. $110 is a steal for this bag, especially if you are looking for a fun bag to use during October. It’s not too expensive, and goes great with the whole Halloween theme.

I have never been a fan of Ed Hardy’s handbags, but I think I may have actually found one that I would purchase. The Ed Hardy Genesis Rebel Luella Tote can pass as “cute” and would be a great school bag. If you aren’t in school, then this bag would be perfect for those days you have a lot of things to carry. If you are in school, this bag would be amazing to carry your lap top, books, notebooks, and supplies in. I always love when I can carry all my school supplies in one bag, instead of lugging around two or three bags with me.

The Ed Hardy Genesis comes in two colors: Cream and Purple. To be honest, I love both of the colors! Cream is very light, and the Purple is very colorful! If I were to purchase this bag, I would probably buy it in purple. When I think of Ed Hardy, I think of something with lots of color, and pizazz not something with hardly any color like the “Cream” version of the bag.

The only thing I hate about this bag is the price! The price is way too high for bag that doesn’t have much to it. For $364, I rather put my money towards a handbag I really want like a Louis Vuitton.

I’m not sure if I would call this tote a day or night bag. I personally would only use this bag when I have to carry a lot of things around. For me, this would act as like a bag to carry all my heavy things in but I would still carry a purse with me. In a purse I would carry all my personal essentials, and I would put all my important work stuff in a tote much like this one.

All in all, it’s definitely a cute and stylish tote to use for just about anything.

Juicy Couture wants to keep its fans to the minute with the latest trendy handbags your Couture bucks can buy. Check out the latest tote bag to hit the Velour section, the Day Dreamer Floral Tote. Yes, most Day Dreamers do sport flowery charms and trinkets, but this Day Dreamer has a slightly different aspect. This tote sports a bohemian chic look that would compliment any casual day summer look. I’d never been one to turn down black velour and the fact that the overall color is black is a plus in my book. Looking further into the details, I’m really digging the double braided leather handles; they fit in with the theme, perfectly. Multicolor floral embroidering and a discreet embroidering among the flower stems read Juicy. Crowns, butterflies, a leather tassel, and a giant flower charm all found among the clutter as well.

This would make the perfect bag for girls of all ages. The fashion staff over at Net-A-Porter prove this with their mannequin, as you don’t necessarily have to be in your teens to rock this tote!

It’s time to tuck in your fall/winter handbags and bring out the bright ones. Here’s a perfect candidate for World’s Most Colorful Handbag.

Just take a look at how cheerful and fun this is, it sort of reminds me of a piñata or of the cheery background page of a scrapbook. Shopbop (dot com) claims this is the ultimate resort bag, what do you ladies think? I can’t really argue with that statement as I can see why they would refer to it as that.

This bag is composed of woven dyed sea grass and colorful crochet raffia overlaps the grassy texture. My favorite feature found on the Ile Ste. Marie Tote would have to be the double squared wooden handles although they do look really uncomfortable.

This earthy bag would make a great companion to your trip to the beach and would look great with any summer dress this season.

More features include a straw interior, a patch pocket, and a button closure to keep your essentials private from its open top. This imported summer bag measures 11” x 17” x 8” and currently retails for $85.
