Well, there is something I like about this bag yet I can’t quite put my finger on it. I do like the tan leather color and the gold hardware. So, that’s a start. The West/Feren McCoy Bag is a versatile bag that can be carried by someone young or someone a bit older. Yes, I think that is what has pulled me in with this bag, the versatility.

Can you tell that my thoughts have already turned to the holidays? It’s not that it’s feeling particularly wintery here yet (thanks for the monsoon winds and rain yesterday, Hurricane Ida), but at night, even in the Deep South, there’s still that bit of crispness to the air, isn’t there? Even in early November, in a part of the country that never gets all that cold anyway.

And with the holiday season comes the necessity for sparkly, festive outfits and bags that are equally so. But do you go with silver or gold? What if you need a bag to wear with several different outfits that feature different metallics? The Felix Rey Greta Bow Clutch has you covered.

Oh, for the love of Pete, YES!

Now, this is just absolutely clever. In fact, coming across the Kate Spade Par Avion Airline Cosmetic Case today was perfect timing because I really need a new cosmetic case. I’ve had the same one for a few years now and it has held up really well. As it gets dirty, I clean it, but I am thinking it is just time to pitch the one I have and replace it with a new one. When it comes to cosmetic cases, I don’t like to go too fancy because, let’s be honest, it is just going to get super dirty super quickly.

Oddly enough, I was attracted to this Tory Burch Nylon Ella Tote because I am wearing an outfit that consists of the exact same colors on this tote: grape and Egyptian teal. That aside, the tote practically screams cutesy and fun to me. It has that signature Tory Burch shape and style, but with a few minor quirks.

I first thought this bag would be perfect for the beach or pool, but the model shown carrying it is wearing the usual New Yorker outfit of black boots and parka. Surprisingly, the burst of color works very well with the outfit; perhaps Tory is suggesting that we infuse more color into our winter wardrobes? Whatever the case, it’s a playful mix of sophisticated and fun.

Last time I talked about a Juicy Couture bag, I actually had nice things to say. I was as shocked as everyone else about that, believe me. However, it’s almost comforting to see that things have returned to the status quo: the Juicy Couture Lock it Want It Shoulder Bag is just as bad in just the same ways that you would expect of the brand.

I guess that means I have to give them points for consistency, but let’s consider all the things for which I intend to subtract points:

If there’s something that I consistently love, it’s a big metallic clutch. Clutches are reasonably priced and therefore less guilt-inducing to buy, and a metallic clutch in particular is glamorous and versatile in a way that precious few other fashion items are – I would equate them to a really great pair of sexy black patent heels. Mix ‘em, match ‘em, they’re always in style as long as you wear them with confidence. And with a clutch as cute as the MICHAEL Michael Kors Large Clutch, there’s no reason not own your look.

Could it be true? Has Marc Jacobs heeded by advice? A few weeks ago, I wrote about the excessively plain and utterly un-Marc Marc by Marc Jacobs Computer Sleeve. And now, my friends and (perhaps) fellow laptop owners, we have a new case from Marc, this vibrant Marc by Marc Jacobs Pretty Nylon Laptop Case.

All right, so it’s not the cat’s pajamas of laptop cases, but the color and quintessential nylon Marc style make it quite worth it. Plus it’s padded on the inside- so it looks like Marc, but with all the protection your delicate laptop requires. Sorry, that kind of sounded like an ad… ah well. You see, while bright blue isn’t my all-time favorite color, I still harbor a slight obsession with the shade. So while this case doesn’t have super-fun doodles dancing on the sides, the blue does make up for it.

Alright, seeing as though it is November, I am actually confused as to why the Kate Spade Bow Tote is being offered over at Saks. It doesn’t take a handbag guru to look at this bag and realize that it does not fit into the season at hand. However, I am going to try and move on from how out of place this bag seems during this time of the year and actually just focus on the bag itself.

If Alexander Wang is going to insist on continuing to make non-black and non-leather iterations of the super popular Alexander Wang Coco Duffel, then he’s going to have to do better than tan.

The only things that I can think of when I see this bag are the faux nubuck jackets that you see in the men’s department at Wal-Mart every year and that are, presumably, purchased only by middle aged men that count huntin’ and workin’ on their truck among their main hobbies (note: I’m from the South, so I’m allowed/qualified to make jokes about redneck Wal-Mart shoppers).
