    Don't Be A Square, Get Your Hands On A Boxy Handbag!

    As if you needed another excuse to splurge on a brand-new purse, there's a new fall bag trend that's bound to take the season by storm. Boxy handbags are cute, compact, and provide for maximum storage with their dimensions, unlike flatter square satchels that hardly allow any real room for your loot. Usable for both day and night, they can be vamped up with stud embellishments or look fun and fall-festive like this bright pumpkin-colored purse. While these boxy bags may not lie flat against your side like your other trusty go-to shoulder bag, their short handle and packed shape are the perfect fit for tucking under your elbow! Flip through the slideshow for my favorite boxy handbags for fall!

    Handbags are my true weakness. Okay, and shoes, and accessories, okay FASHION. But handbags, I love. To get more mileage out of a bag purchase, I've been looking to buy one of the fall's convertible bags. You know, something that goes from shoulder to tote, or hobo to hip-slung with a quick switch of a strap. I love the color, texture and bohemian simplicity of the Kooba tied convertible hobo bag. And I feel like I could honestly carry this Foley + Corinna convertible small leather tote in red almost every day. It goes from shoulder to tote so flawlessly, and the scale is just adorable. Check out my slideshow for lots of other handbags that work hard for you!

    If you've got everything else on your Prom list, it's easy to forget one of the most important components to your outfit. You don't want just any bag to do the trick for your touch-ups (and yes, that includes the device you currently use for your everyday toting). A cute clutch is the perfect companion on a night to remember like this. Style-wise, there are many different trendy takes designers can create for an evening bag: there are colors, patterns, textures, and shapes that outweigh your wildest clutch imagination! You don't even have to mirror-match your bag to your outfit, as finding a suitable compliment to your gown can mean that an eye-popping contrast is the perfect touch! Also, don't be daunted by your idea of a clutch's size: these handy pieces are made both big and small to accommodate your desired degree of prom preparedness. Start your search soon this spring to cling to a clutch that's just right for you!

    Stylehive's Stylescopes Make Sure You Have This Week In The Bag!

    Let's face it -- your week is only going to go well if you're in the right mindset. And what better way to put yourself in the best mood possible than to equip yourself with a brand new bag! Pretty much any excuse for a new purse purchase is a good one in my mind: promotion at work, nothing matches your wardrobe, some extra cash lying around, a sudden change in weather -- whatever makes you feel better and helps you justify a splurge in the name of fashion (and practicality, of course). The bottom line is that your satchel, clutch, tote, or whatever the stars have in store for you, can really make or break an ensemble... and personally I'd rather break the bank than break my outfit (just kidding... sort of)! Having a hard time choosing what carry-all will carry you throughout the week most successfully and stylishly? Let the stars be your guide (and you can add "Stylescopes" to your lists of reasons for making the big purchase)! If you're a Sagittarius, you may be best suited to keep it compact yet girlie with a ruffled Betsey Johnson clutch, and Cancer girls will get to go bright and springy with a teal basket-weave shoulder bag! Check out the slideshow to see which kind of handbag you're destined to get your hands on this week!

    Mixing Hip And Retro With Stud Embellished Staples!

    Lately, I've been noticing a particular trend going around today: studs. Whether they are on bags, shoes, apparel or accessories, studs are a timeless accent that can be worn on virtually anything. Studs are chic, retro and bad-ass. Even if you're not into the whole punk rock scene, you can be reassured that studs have become a very popular staple in the fashion world. Following this trend, I have found some of my favorite studded products on Karmaloop.com. Perfect on shoes, studs add that extra detail that make your feet look hip and fly. Keep it simple and dainty with The Hayley Stud Flat in Pewter by Jeffrey Campbell, a buttery leather ballet flat with studded bow detail on toe. For a chic, feminine look, try The Iman Shoe in Gray Suede by Shoes for Lovely People, a suede studded strappy sandal. If you're going for a sexier style, check out The Mel Shoe by Jeffrey Campbell, a strappy leather platform heel with silver metal stud details on criss-cross straps. If you want to expand your stud collection, adorn yourself with all the studs you can imagine! Check out the slideshow for more of my top studded finds!

    Our Favorite Big Bags Under $100!

    I can understand that you might have a hard time parting with your faithful old backpack you've been using daily for ages for work or school, but you have to admit that it's probably seen better days. True, it's comfy, it's convenient, and it's got all those nifty pockets for all your junk and knick-knacks... but is it really all that stylish? It's easy to assume that in times like these you can't afford a new bag other than a cheap-quality canvas tote you'd get for free with the purchase of some other necessity, so you may be surprised to know how many sleek, sturdy, and over-sized bags can be found for less than $100! Urban Outfitters has a huge variety of leather totes and satchels of all styles and sizes for super-reasonable prices -- some even have just as many zippers and buttoned pockets as that ratty old backpack did, so you can stay just as organized, but this time in style! Nordstrom and other department stores also carry more high-end high-quality brands that go on sale so you can snag them for up to half off! Check out the slideshow for some more big bags you can use for school and work to load up all your loot for less!
