The Perfect Handbags For You

By Stacy Wells — September 26, 2012

When ranking our favorite accessories many women would choose shoes but for several of us…it’s all about the handbags. What does your bag say about you? ~ Practical, polished, flashy, fun? No matter what your style we’ve got so many handbags for you – mom, working girl, glam gal – we’ve got ya’ covered (and most styles less than $35)!

Moms on the go practically need a suitcase for the cherrios, character bandaids, juice boxes and more! Lucky for the modern mom, the BIG purse and even the dreaded diaper bag have evolved into trendy totes! Celebrity moms like Kourtney Kardashian, Alyson Hannigan, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jennifer Garner, & Heidi Klum all sport hot styles big enough for all the tot must-haves but fun and even fashionable. Kourtney Kardashian’s diaper bag could be a big designer or something as practical as Target’s Baby Essentials Satchel Diaper Bag (A for only $24.99). Boho moms might prefer something like the Sak Indio Leather Large Tote (B for $79.20). Organization is a must for moms on the go. The best handbags for you have not only loads of room, but lots of individual compartments where you can zipper in the binki, bottle, bunny or banana. Choose a fun color like this Donna Sharp Jenna Bag (C for only $30) or something more traditional like the Aurielle-Carryland Portofino Tote (D for only $33.60).

Working girls, the handbags for you are simple and functional. From 50′s legend Marlene Dietrich to modern marvel Kim Kardashian, professional women have long chosen the classic style of a black clutch. It has just enough room for necessities and makes a subtle, but capable statement (C from Mundi for $28). As Pippa Middleton shows us, practical and pretty do not have to be mutually exclusive. Choose a black briefcase with feminine touches such as the Case Logic 11.6″ Netbook Attaché (A for only $11.99) or a shimmering (Bailey) Leather Tablet Case (B for $49.99). Pam from The Offic, seems like she’d want something fun yet functional like the Mellow World Acacia (D for $33.60). On the opposite spectrum, Christina Hendricks’ character from Mad Men would want more of a competent, strong style like the R & R Collections Tote (E for just $23.99).

Glam gals, as you can see from the star-studded Emmy night pics of Ashlee Simpson, Mindy Kaling, Hannah Simone, & Ashley Judd, the clutch is one of the most essential handbags for you! Grab your lipstick, your ID & debit card in your gold ($26.98), silver ($34.98) or colorful ($49.99) clutch and hit the big time!
