Classic Clutches [8 Under $20]
My absolute favorite accessory is the bag. My collection is ever growing, and it’s the first section I go to in every store. With a new school year underway it’s the best time of the year for a new bag! Out with the old and in with the new! With the season starting to be well underway, it’s optimal time to begin buying clutches for that night out or day event you have.
The Price is Right When It Comes to These Purses! [Budget Stylista]
I admit that I’m not a purse person. If I’m going on a shopping spree, buying a handbag is the last thing on my mind. Why? They’re so darn expensive!

Wardrobe Wish List: Steve Madden’s Bleigh Handbag
I love my big bags, but I love my sanity more and there is just no way I could deal with a 12 pound bag in the sweltering heat of summer. Which means a chic, easy-to wear and most importantly compact(!) bag is on the top of my wish list. And Steve Madden’s Bleigh handbag fits the bill perfectly.
Wardrobe Wish List: Deena & Ozzy Canvas Menswear Tote
I have an unhealthy obsession with handbags, but then again who doesn’t? It just seems like no matter how many you have thrown in the closet, an outfit always manages to emerge requiring a clutch or hobo that you don’t own
Budget Stylista: Wear The Rainbow
Let’s face it: in these wintery months looking somewhat presentable takes way, wayyy too much effort. When there’s 5 inches of snow on the ground and a 15-minute walk to class ahead of me, the last thing I want to do is think about cute shoes, cute pants… cute anything. And I know you’re all with me cause I’ve seen you walking around campus looking just as hideous and sloppy as I do…
The Two-Faced Bottomless Purse
If there is anything in this world I can rely on to be there for me (besides Dove Dark Chocolate) it is my big, bottomless, purse. Chapstick? Got it. $2.41 in all dimes and pennies? Got it. Four flattened Milk Duds? Got it. The Vegas Map and some Floss Picks? You’ve guessed it, I’ve got it.

Budget Stylista: Clutches Are, Like, So Clutch
The “going out top” has become an often-used phrase in the shopping vocabulary of college girls nationwide, but oftentimes we forget about the rest of the outfit. Like the bag. Stacy London will tell you that a bag is just important to a complete look as your top. It makes a statement and not just “I’m hiding this girl’s tampons.”
WTF Friday: This Purse Looks Strangely Familiar…
I. Love. Purses.
Love.
I have big purses, little purses, designer purses, cheap purses, leather purses, nylon purses…
But a purse that looks like a giant vagina?
Budget Stylista: Hottie Handbags
If Carrie Bradshaw was literally going to be the lady who lived in her shoes, then I will be the lady who lived in her handbags. I guess the upside is that handbags are a lot roomier and more cushion-y than those 12 million pairs of Manolos Carrie rocked on a season to season basis.
Leona Lewis Loves Her Pink and Black Deux Lux Ruffle Bucket Bag
Leona Lewis may be a rising star but that doesn’t mean she’s let her fame go to her head. Or to her wallet. The British pop singer was spotted on multiple occassions with a girly, ruffled handbag in pink and black. Was it a Valentino? Nope. A Be & D? Guess again.
Everything I Need to Know I Learned My Freshman Year
Now that I’m halfway done with my college career, I anticipate all the bright eyed and bushy tailed freshmen about to invade the dorms and use fake-id’s at all my favorite bars. Putting myself in their shoes, I wish that someone had been there to give me advice for my college career (all I got was my Mom telling me not to hook up with any fraternity boys until Spring semester).

Steal du Jour: Glam Noir Leather Zip Clutch in Black
With the economy flip-flopping more than John Kerry, it’s difficult to justify spending lots of cash on a bag. So the $95 Glam Noir Leather Zip Clutch in Blackicon is priced just right for a recessionista’s budget!
