16 Purses That Look Like Something Else [Gallery]
These 16 handbags look more like objects than purses – aside from how impractical they probably are – they’re sort of cool.
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!

Baggin’ Out: ALDO Decourcey
Since my last few picks have been “higher end,” I decided to stick to a budget this week! (I’m doing this as much for myself as I am for all of you. Trust me.)
Baggin’ Out: See by Chloe Poya Satchel
See is the diffusion line of Chloe, a chic French fashion house that is very popular with It Gals. Not only do they have a full ready-to-wear line of apparel, they also make gorgeous bags with the same street-style feel. While it may be hard to pull off a more couture Chloe dress for your day full of classes, a See by Chloe dress would be easy peasy.
Baggin’ Out: Cooperative Turnlock Tote
Urban Outfitters has been one of my favorite shops since I was a funky 15-year-old trying to spice up my Catholic school uniform. They specialize in quirky yet stylish fashions for the girl who wants to be a little bit different. Besides carrying great, vintage-inspired clothing, Urban Outfitters also has a phenomenal selection of purses to suit your every need!
8 Under $20: Clutches
When you go out, you need to be able to carry around all your stuff–money/cards and I.D., keys, phone, camera, lipgloss, etc.–but you don’t want to be weighed down by your usual purse. Which is why a clutch or wristlet is an absolute necessity for every college girl.
From CollegeFashion: For the Love of Cross Body Bags
Though I’m usually into spacious oversized bags, minimalist-inspired cross body bags have been on my radar for the past few months. Cross body bags are great for those times when you don’t need or want to carry a ton of stuff with you–think simple shopping trips, nights out, or house parties. And since you have to fit all of your things into that tiny space, you’ll make sure to pack only the essentials, right?

8 Under $20: Etsy
Once upon a time, my great friend showed me a little website she knew and loved called Etsy.com. “It’s Betsy without the ‘B’” she said ever so kindly as I typed it into my browser. She did however, fail to tell me I was going to lose an average of 3 hours a day digging into the website and dumping my very shallow money truck into the virtual Etsy ‘shopping cart.’
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.
From CollegeFashion: How to Buy a Premier Designer Handbag for Less Than Retail
In Sophie Kinsella’s Shopaholic series, Becky explains her obsession with Denny and George scarves. They’re super luxurious, super gorgeous, and every girl aspires to own one — and correspondingly, they’re super expensive. Accessorize, on the other hand, is a generic store that sells various accessories, much cheaper than the brand-name Denny and George.
The Cleavage Caddy: Greatest Invention Of All Time?
Ladies, it’s time to save some moolah to purchase the greatest invention since sliced bread: The Cleavage Caddy!
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
Fashion: When To Spend and When To Save
It’s really easy to get swept away by trends and brand names when you’re shopping. The stuff is just so pretty! Not pretty, though, is a closet full of overpriced clothes that are torn, tattered or out of style six months later. Before you hit the mall and load up on all that Spring cuteness, take a moment to assess the difference between an investment and an indulgence.
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.
8 Under $20: Victoria’s Secret
If I know one thing it’s that girls who only shop at Victoria’s Secret for the bras/panties/sexy lingerie are really missing out. That Vicki has a lot more to offer than lacy underthings that make your boobs look huge; Victoria’s Secret is also an awesome place to stock up on clothes, shoes and beauty products. They even have jeans that give your butt some lift!
