05 Feb A Bag For Every Girl: Handbags That Fit Every Personality
Growing up in a household with four other women taught me many lessons. One of the most fun: women’s tastes don’t always agree. Naturally, as we grew older, my mom, three sisters and I developed very different tastes in music, food, men and fashion. As we all grow stronger ties with all our friends and family, it’s not uncommon to start naming articles we find at stores or traveling after our loved ones. Inspired by the (very different) personalities of some of the closest women in my life, here are some beautiful handbags in 6 different flavors, one for every style.
The Fashionista
Bright, bold and provocative, this handbag was made for hip girls who like to stand out (and don’t mind getting tons of compliments). While forest green breaks out of the expected black and tan, its sexy gold accents make it a sleek little number. Shop for this Leather Handbag by Bostanten
Rugged Madam
Distressed leather is a perfect ingredient for this recipe of laid-back refinement. It says “I’m busy, I’m dynamic and I’m also stylish.” It’s a handsome bag for gals who mean business. GET THE LOOK: Brown Synthetic Handbag
Tailored Sophistication
At YSL they don’t make handbags, they dictate refinement. For women who are serious about timeless design and want to make a statement of elegance, this bag speaks volumes. Structured, uniquely textured and in can-do-no-wrong black, this is a bag for chic women who kick ass and aren’t afraid to invest in a piece that will last forever. Get the Look: Sac de Jour by YSL

The Sweetheart
Some may find it too cutesy, but admit it: there is something very special about the Barbies in your life. If you, my dear, are one of those extra perky gals that loves pink, all things frilly, and used to cheer in high school, thank you. You make the world a bit sunnier everyday. Petite, feminine and uber cute, this clutch was designed around you. Shop for the Y Ligne Clutch Bag in Blush
Crafted, Practical Beauty
It’s practical, it’s simple and sure enough, it does the job. It’s capable of taking a beating running around town with you on your errands. This particular beauty from Cuyana is designed for women who can appreciate the art of having fewer (and nicer) things but don’t need the extra flash factor. My airport-day favorite!

The Free Spirit
Colorful, spontaneous and creative, Clare Vivier has designed a bag for women who like to march to the beat of their own drum, but love to shine in the spotlight as trendsetters. With this cute combo of fuchsia calfskin, tan leather, and gold highlights, color blocking is translated into a fun clutch for year-round use.
