thiswinter is thedoctor bag. Itwas
seen all over the runways, andevery
major designer has a version.”
For a special occasion, such asNewYear’s Eve,
I definitely recommend theAlexanderMcQueen
knuckle-duster clutch [above left] for daring
trendsetters. If classic chic ismore your style,
then a crystal-encrusted Judith Leiber clutch
[above] is amust-have to add some sparkle for
theholidays.”
Jewel-tone colors such aswine, plum,
andemerald are favored this season,
somake sure you include at least one
of these colors in yourwardrobe. The
PradaSaffiano tote in aubergine is a
gorgeous shadeof eggplant and is an
amazingly versatile tote that takes you
from theoffice todinner.”
TheCélinemini luggage tote is this
year’s ‘It’ bag, and is awardrobe staple.
BagBorrowor Steal has a varietyof col-
ors, including color-blocked versions.”
