Rebecca Minkoff's Fall 2010 handbags meld form and function while still managing to be exciting. They have that "yummy" factor girls crave from their favorite handbag, a loyal companion which, when effortlessly slung over her shoulder, makes her feel pulled together and ready to conquer the world.
From quilted evening bags and zipper-embellished cross-body bags to slouchy hobos and sturdy totes, in supple leather, Minkoff has created a versatile collection of bags to suit every situation, transitioning from day to night. Chic shoppers can choose from classic black and brown or venture into brights territory with eye-catching bags in pink, blue or red (all of which integrate seamlessly into her clothing collection).

The only problem? Deciding which one to get: Unless Minkoff does a collab with Target (I'm speaking hypothetically here), many shoppers will find her bags priced just out of reach. But the savvy shopper will set her sights on one favorite, save up, and buy it on sale (I speak from experience!)

Studs, spikes, feathers and chains are popping up everywhere in jewelry these days. From earrings to necklaces, on cuffs and rings, jewelry designers are feeling a bit more rock & roll than sweet & prim. I personally love my jewelry to be loud, bold and with a little edge.
If you pop into any store, mass or boutique, you'll see tops with ornate details on the shoulders (even Forever 21 has them). A brand called Babette Epaulette has taken the detailed shoulder to the next level by creating jewelry specifically designed to be worn on your shoulder.
While I love the idea in theory, I'm not sure the cross-body style would be flattering on anyone other than a twig. The pieces are beautiful and definitely make a statement - but, what I want to know is:
Would YOU wear it?
These days, if you were to mention Guinness in fashion circles, people might instantly think of fashion icon Daphne Guinness, but there's another fashion Guinness that has been making quirky accessories since before the magic of the internet introduced us to Daphne Guinness.
Lulu Guinness is a designer best known for her signature clutch - a pair a bright red, lacquered lips. Her style is equal parts quirky, charming and delightful, with whimsical elements like flowers, birds, silhouettes and other feminine details. On top of producing darling accessories that any girl would be lucky to own, her line is affordably priced, making it accessible for almost everyone who wants a piece of Guinness.
My pick for this Holiday season are the Red Pave Crystal Lip Earrings. These studs pack a punch, lacqured & studded with red, they're sure to spice up any outfit that is needing that extra touch. Pair them with a classic red lipstick and you've made the quite the "read my lips" statement.
The Red Pave Crystal Lip earrings retail for about $65 at Lulu Guinness stores & LuluGuinness.com.
There are some designers whose signature is unmistakeable. Brazilian designer Carlos Falchi, known for his use of skins, feathers and color, is bringing his unique sensibility to the Target customer November 1st through December 27th. For $19.99 through $49.99, you can own handbags with unique color combinations that beg to be carried. In addition to color, the collection also features reptile skin patterns and stitch detailing.
