I'm still a big fan of Rebecca Minkoff, despite her superstar status in the handbag world. (I tend to go for up-and-comers when selecting a new satchel, but Rebecca has kept me interested season after season.) This time it's the wine/burgundy suede Matinee bag that has me wanting more RM. The stylish silhouette is already a classic in the line, running a close second behind the Morning After Bag. This particular color combo is a web exclusive, further proving the rarity and fabulousness of this bag. So, while you might see it in People mag on the arms of Hollywood starlets, you won't see it on every Rebecca Minkoff fan in your town (only the die-hards and lucky shoppers with insider info, like you). If you want one for yourself you must pre-order now for November 21st when they become available.

I've raved about SoCal handbag line Deere Colhoun before because the bags are simply gorgeous. These stylish satchels are super-luxe, with classic good looks. This allows you to indluge your handbag addiction with the knowledge that you'll be carrying the beautiful bag for many many seasons to come. My current obsession is the Nikki Tote in grey washed lambskin with patent trim. And by obsession I mean that I can't stop thinking about it and I even dreamt about having it slung over my shoulder. The side pockets are perfect for easy-access items like lip gloss, and the exterior zipper pocket is where I'd stash my iPhone. Like me, you probably have loads of other stuff to tote around town. Good news: this is an exceptionally roomy bag so you have plenty of space for whatever you need to take along with you. 

Longing for a stylish fall handbag? I'm thinking something ultra-luxe and classic is the way to go this season—a bag that will be a good fashion investment, one that will last for many seasons, and years, to come. This is it! Stylist Arianne Tunney, my fashion buddy, is an expert in the fashion biz and she has a stellar portfolio to prove it. Her new line of leather handbags is comprised of cool silhouettes with classic good looks. A glimpse inside reveals Tunney's signature boating striped linen lining, and you can't miss the unique bronze boat hook closure—both nods to her family's east coast nautical history. The Bristol Bag is my personal fave but there are eight tempting styles to choose from.
