Handbag Haven

Handbags, clutches, shoulder satchels and hobo's.  Studs, animal prints, ruffles, ruching, oversized, and exposed zippers. What look, or "few", will you fashion this fall? The selection is broad this season so do a wardrobe remix with some hot statement handbags.

Ruffled bags add lots of texture to an outfit. Add some sass to a casual ensemble with a ruched or ruffled companion that has lots of character. Go structured with a ruffled style made out of leather or softer with a bag finished in a suede material for drapier, more feminine looking ruffles.  



One of my favorites this season is Jessica Simpson's Runway Satchel. Choose from four different colors, including a snakeskin print so you can fashion animals and ruffles in one style. These vertical ruffles make the look more feminine, even with faux leather material.





Add in some pretty-punk by fashioning a studded clutch or handbag. Steve Madden's BStudley is sleek and stylish. With its bowling-bag look and studded punk edge, you'll be going from day to night in high fashion style.




The Michael Kors Berkley clutch has a cut-out handle for easy toting. With its patent leather exterior and magical magenta color you'll be sure to turn heads and rack up some compliments!  This is a great way to throw in some pizazz and incorporate your berry for fall.  Get out of your comfort zone and play around with your color palate by pairing this magenta bag with a terracotta top.



I adore the risk of the Exposed Layer Zipper Clutch from Arden B. The structured frame of this clutch is softened by layers of exposed zippers which are draped to give the feeling of being slightly ruffled. Equipped with three interior pockets and an oversized toggle top, this clutch is not only functional but screams high trend.  For only $39, this is a great style steal!
