Miu Miu St. Cocco Tote

Miu Miu brought out the big guns for its latest handbag collection, and I for one salute them. I think this Miu Miu St. Cocco Tote - which comes in a tasteful and very autumn-appropriate dark brown black - is a wonderful option for working women who want to inject some high fashion style into their career while still looking professional. This luxurious croc-stamped leather handbag is a roomy, gorgeous alternative to a boring briefcase. Little details like silver buckles, double leather handles, and a front zipped pocket up the fashionista street cred.

Jessica Biel's Carrie Valentine Bag Jessica Biel's Carrie Valentine Bag

While the boys are ogling Jessica Biel’s, um, smile, the girl’s are drooling over her tried-and-true Carrie Valentine Relaxed Chic bag. The versatile black leather bag has a drawstring top, gold rings on the straps, and sophisticated suede patches. And considering that Biel never seems to leave home (or the gym) without it, it’s safe to say that it’s a great everyday bag for any occasion.

Fendi Raddica Boston Bag
Avert your eyes, people! This Fendi Raddica Boston Bag is the epitome of an eyesore. I’m not sure what the Fendi people are trying to pull with this hideous patchwork purse featuring tobacco Zucca printed canvas and brown vinyl trim. Ugh. The handbag also converts into a clutch, which makes it a repeat offender of good taste. I’m starting to think that the emperor has no clothes - this is just a mess!

Paris Hilton's Chanel Purse
It’s not often that I say this, but I totally dig what Paris Hilton is wearing (minus that silly hat). My favorite part is the quilted black leather Chanel purse she’s carrying. It’s stylish and classic, but the chain link strap gives it a youthful, modern edge that suits Paris’s style. Jessica Alba has the same Chanel bag in a bronzey metallic. Once again Chanel has shown that it’s no longer for ladies who lunch.

Gryson Jesse Handbag
It’s not easy being green, is it? Yet this Gryson Jesse Handbag has all the makings of a true blue, bona fide star. It’s not glamorous, but the Jesse bag is cool as a cucumber (how fitting), the perfect accessory for a laid-back day and an equally low-key ensemble. This adds a little intrigue to the mix, with a hint of vivacious color, plenty of space to hold your daily essentials and a relaxed design touched with upscale details, like deliciously soft Italian leather and a thick suede lining. Color shy? The purse is also available in chocolate. Available for $725 at Tobi.
