Purse #1: The Silver Bohemian Metallic Sequin Purse.
Yeah these were huge this summer it's true. But they are still around and popular. It the perfect bag for the girl who need to take half her world with her no matter where she is headed. It can be a great holiday party bag, offering a little splash of funk to any outifit. Or it can go with your favorite, no-fail outfit. Purses of this style differ greatly. We suggest you try it on over your coated arm to make sure it easy to carry as a shoulder bag. And a zipper is always a nice feature to stop things from falling out.
Purse #2: Black Street Chic Satchel Purse.
This is totally the purse for your friend who carries everything but the kitchen sink in her purse. On the streets we have seen this purse in classic colors like black and brown but also in muted flourescent colors of green, blue, pink, purple, white. The straps are too small to fit over your shoulder so be ready to carry this bag in your hand or let it ride on your arm. If the shoulder carrying is a must, just look for the ones that sell with a strap enclosed.
Purse #3: The Ultra-soft Pink Scallop Purse.
This cute little clutch will fit the necessities for a holiday party, phone, little wallet, and tiny digital camera. It's scallops add a unique flare to the purse that makes it more party appropriate. We especially like the silver mettalic inside! A shoulder strap can come with, but if you are prone to losing or forgetting your purse, this probably isn't the one for you.
Purse #4: The Large Camel Brown Tote Purse.
We love this tote bag that's all there is to say about it! The saddle-type style is really popular now and the silver hoops are a great accent. It comes in other colors but the camel is the most flattering. Yeah, we just love it!
Purse #5: East-West Snake Purse in Burgundy.
This purse has a funky shape, not usually seen out on the streets. The owner of this purse needs to like purses a lot. She needs to like making a statement with the bag on her arm. This one makes a statement. Like the style but not the color or snake-skin pattern? We've seen round purses all over! This weekend one of our Fashion Forum girls was in a NY boutique where round purses made out of old lisence plates were being sold! Talk about making a statement!
Purse #6: Moderna Women's Breifcase.
Who said a bag for work needs to be boring and old ladyish? NO ONE!!! There are a lot of bags out there. This is our pick for fuctional, practical, and still on the fun side of life. Yeah the bag sells in black, but everyone's briefcase is black. Red is unique, but not abrasive so that it would jar a jotential employer. The handle with the silver base adds a little more funk to the tote. We suggest the use of the shoulder stap only if absolutely necessary. This bag swinging from your hand will look much better than slung over a shoulder.
Purse #7: Studded Suede Black Hobo Purse.
In case you didn't know the country look is big this year, aka you need a purse to go with those killer western boots you bought a month ago. This one is subtle-country! The studs and hanging fringe give the purse the western feel although the suede makes it suitable for almost any winter outfit. (Ok you really can't use this purse if you are going to a black-tie affair, but hey with almost anything else this purse is fair game!)
Purse #8: Celebrity Purses.
Ok the trick to buying and working a celebrity purse of your own, or buying the perfect one for your friend, is originality! Practically everyone has the purse of the WWII soldier kissing that nurse (admit it, your's is probably buried in the back of your closet now!) Ok so origniality... this takes some real searching. Online there are a lot of places that sell purse, if you live in a major city you can check the random tourist stores or street vendors (although those are more likely to sell the typical, unoriginal purses) This one of Elvis is an original. We haven't seen another like it out there on the streets.
Purse #9: Cream Zoe Hobo Purse.
Ok this purse wins big points for that originality we talked about above. We LOVE it and that's all there is to it!

So true about the importance of originality for celebrity purses! I didn't want one that everyone else had and searched for months before I found one of Clark Gable that is just the best!! I have never seen another person with the same purse and I get so many compliments on it (usually by old women)!
