Stella McCartney, Matt & Nat, and other fashion forward designers are proving that eco friendly handbags can look rich and luxe. I love this unique Japanese paper across body bag. What’s cool about japanese paper is that it’s handmade from long fibers. The fibers are such that its lightweight and yet durable. Also, the wrinkle effect of this matt and nat grandmaster bag gives it that wonderful worn leather look the eco friendly way.

Spring 2008 handbags are going to be colorful, eye-catching, and the focal point of your ensemble. I am especially excited about Spring 08’s candy colored handbags. Check out this hot pink Micheal Kors Satchel! Classic chain handles and a small frame makes this a perfect evening bag for a night out.

Sale, Sale, Sale - A girl’s favorite four letter word! January’s full of great sales & deals. But, the secret to finding the best deal is searching online for items that you know will be in style 3 or 4 seasons from now. That’s why I love this oversized Cole Haan Satchel. It’s an incredible 30% off the original price and the details are superb - fine haircalf, beautiful camel leather trimming, and a compartment that opens up on bottom! Not only would this make a classy weekender but it could work as a stylish briefcase alternative. Most of all, this is a sale item that will remain in vogue 4+ seasons from today. Unlike the bright pink lantern sleeve top you found on sale. I know, I have done it too…

I am so excited Fall 2007 brought cleaner, sturdier, more sophisticated handbags back in vogue. Let’s hope this lady like glamour is here to stay through spring! Recently, I fell in love with this structured Amici Accessories Satchel. It’s trend forward, sophisticated, roomy, functional, & affordable. You will never believe how much this satchel is - $50!!! Can you believe it? All this detailing for $50. The only fault is that it doesn’t come in more colors so I can buy them all!

With all the new stylish briefcases out there for women, I refuse to carry a boring black one any longer! I love the new handcrafted Wabags Bond Briefcase Messenger. The details are simply gorgeous! It’s beautifully handmade and handcrafted. The exterior is a beautiful deep dark red and the pockets are lined in a funky croc. This Wabags briefcase is great for everyday. It’s funky and yet roomy - the perfect marriage between style & function. Arrive on Monday in some serious style!

Ladies, how many times do we switch our handbags and forget something important? Our debit card, cell phone, or worse yet, keys! I recently discovered the perfect solution - amazing handbag liners called Very Intelligent Pocket by Tintamar. The liners have nine pockets and get this, washable! Now, that’s brilliant! These handbag liners are trendy, cute, and oh so affordable. Colors range from an adorable pink to cafe noir. I personally am pining over the yummy cafe noir. Thanks to these liners, changing handbags has never been easier!
