Why aren't you wearing this? Botkier for Target Wristlet

Filed under: Handbags, Accessories, Style in the News, Must Haves


One of the best ways to finish off an ensemble for a big night out is with the right purse. Generally, if we're doing the club scene and getting all dolled up, we like a fab little clutch with enough personality to hold its own. However, we're not going to carry it all the time -- just on certain occasions -- so we don't want to spend a ton of money on it.

The categories for this competition are Best Student Made Handbag, Best Handmade Handbag, Most Socially Responsible Handbag, Best Green Handbag, Audience-Selected Handbag, and Best Handbag in Overall Style & Design. There are some great prizes up for grabs for the winning designers, including a free booth at the MAGIC accessories tradeshow in Las Vegas this August, an apprenticeship with the Henri Bendel accessory design team and more.

Okay, okay, so chances are that you're probably not a handbag designer, but maybe you're just a lover of purses? Handbag Designer 101 is still a great resource you can use to read interviews with up and coming bag designers, stay up to date on the latest trends in handbags, chat about your handbag must-haves, get your celebrity bag watch fix and find out about handbag related events and deals.

Speaking of deals on handbags, I just got word from my friends at Accessory Bug about their special discount offer for spring. Get 10% off on any order through April 30, 2008 by using coupon code spring08 at checkout. They've got the infamous "I'm not a plastic bag" handbag in four different color choices, plus a huge selection of clutches, hobos, totes, wristlets and other accessories.

Marketa New York wristlet is jewelry

Filed under: Handbags, Accessories

marketa new york wristletI don't know why the "wristlet" is suddenly now becoming so popular, as if the convenience of carrying "just enough" in a tiny satchel attached securely to one's wrist was some great innovation. I have been stashing cash, credit card, ID, a tiny Sugar lipgloss, and my cell phone in a slightly oversized changepurse to which I have attached a handy little matching strap for years.

But I suppose my makeshift wristlets just won't do anymore with gorgeous ones like the selection from Marketa New York. The lovely feature of these wristlets is the use of a bangle, rather than just a simple loop of matching material as a strap. Jewelry is hardly ever a functional accessory, but now it is! My favorite it the antique gold, perfect for this season's love affair with metallics.
