I don’t know what I crave more - Leighton Meester’s leopard-print Louis Vuitton scarf or her cream Nina Ricci Besace Flap Bag. Eh, why not both? The “Gossip Girl” star bundled up in style, and the stylish A-list accessories really help her black winter coat take it up a notch. All she needs now is one of Blair’s headbands!

Kyoko Higa's collection for the Boutique Nicole during Tokyo Fashion Week reminded me of somewhat spooky, wide-eyed dolls I used to own as a child. The hair was a dramatic, extended version of the folk dancers I used see during trips to Europe. The clothing was a rich mix of dark jewel tones, feathers, fur and embellished motifs. The result was a collection of very pretty, edgy but wearable outifts that could actually still be flattering for many people. Read Full Story

I feel like there should be a sign reading, “Beware! Do Not Touch!” on this handbag. This Christian Louboutin Spike Studded Shopper certainly has a lot of bite, thanks to its spiky trim. It’s like carrying around a cactus for a purse. The purse also features suede trim and patent leather cutouts, plus woven handles. There’s a lot going on here, but I don’t think I’m a fan. In fact, it scares me a little. Available for $2,995 at Bergdorf Goodman. Read Full Story

 Now this is what I call a show-stopping purse. This Valentino Ricamo Macro Paillettes Tote is a hefty handbag completely covered with black and white paillettes. The purse has a sort of circus-meets-art deco appeal about it, though I might worry that those beautiful paillettes might easily get torn off. Still, if shimmying handbags are your thing, this might be right up your alley. Available at Bergdorf Goodman for $2,395. Read Full Story

Prefer your ladylike Dior with a girlish twist? Then you’ll likely fall for this ultra-feminine and flirty Dior Ruffled Flap Shoulder Bag, resplendent in a bright crimson lambskin. The purse boasts the signature hand-stiched Dior cannage pattern, but its the sweet ruffled trim outlining the handbag that gives it that girlish glee. A fabulous contender for those holiday parties on your agenda. Available for $2,050 at Bergdorf Goodman. Read Full Story

What would a Tim Burton tribute be without the Olsen twins? Er…don’t answer that. Nonetheless, the dynamic duo hit up a party celebrating the eccentric director’s MoMA exhibit with twin Hermes handbags - a Birkin and a Kelly (cause the girls are so different, you know). If I were a twin I would avoid carrying the same handbag as my sister, but that’s just me. What do you think? Photo from JustJared.buzznet.com. Read Full Story

Seeing Victoria Beckham without an Hermes purse is like seeing Crocodile Dundee without an animal skin, but I guess the starlet makes exceptions for Louis Vuitton. And apparently they make exceptions for her. Beckham’s massive (for her, at least) Louis Vuitton Fox Tail Fur Tassels Messenger Bag is from the label’s spring/summer 2010 collection, which means it’s not even out in stores yet. Though I envy Beckham’s pull, I’m not really that blown away by the handba... Read Full Story

With plum roles in “An Education” and “Wall Street 2,” which also stars her new boyfriend, Shia LaBeouf (hate her yet?), Carey Mulligan pretty much has it made right now. The young actress looked chic on the film’s set in a fall-appropriate pea coat and scarf, plus a deep garnet Burberry tote slung over her shoulder. I love the handbag, and I adore the mix of rich autumnal hues. So much more interesting than your basic black. Photo from JustJared.buzznet.com. Read Full Story

Like any good tourist, Rihanna hit up London wearing a love-it-or-hate-it fanny pack, though, if it’s any consolation, hers was a monogrammed Louis Vuitton version in oatmeal-hued leather. The tassled bag made a dramatic statement against Rihanna’s gray sweater dress, but that’s her style - it’s all about pushing the envelope. So what say you? Do you love it, or hate it?

OK, we know fashionistas around the world (and especially Goth-loving fashionistas) love black as a wardrobe staple. Can you truly keep things beautiful, unique and creatively interesting for each and every outfit with only one color? Answering this question with a resounding YES during last month's Tokyo Fashion week was Aguri Sagimori. Her looks for this season used the textures of black to cleverly reveal the body in different ways. The styling of the hair and models were reminscent of Dar... Read Full Story
