What a wide range of beauty bag we'll have this coming season. They range from an assortment colors - the most common among all designers being pinks, greys and various shades of brown.

The designers seem to have an eye for detail this coming Fall - from Anna Sui's Embossed Clutch to Burberry's Corrugated Alligator Pleated 'Lowry' Bag right down to Valentino's Fango Rose Tote Bag.

Framed and structured bags are very in this season and exotic leather is still favored. We're looking at luxurious pieces like Tod's Alligator Took Bag and the Valextra Crocodile Prelude Bag, both, with gold hardware.

Of course, there are also colors like purple (Michael Kors Studio Top-Handle Bag), gold (Anna Sui's Embossed Leather Frame Bag and Diane von Furstenberg Abstracted Minaudiere) and my favorite among all - in blue - the Salvatore Ferragamo Tiered Mesh Fringe Frame Bag with Resin Barrel Closure which is absolutely fabulous. It's fun, it's classy yet not over the top! Perfect for an evening out..

Watch out for the upcoming season as they've got more than what's recommended here. Check them out at Style.com today.

Splurge of the Week!

Ostrich Flap Shoulder Bag cum Tote by Ferragamo

I'm a big fan of Exotics, and yes, Ostrich in particular. I usually don't take notice of Ferragamo's bags because it seems as if they cater to a more mature consumer base, BUT...the moment I laid eyes on this Ostrich Shoulder Flap Tote, it was love at first sight. In a beautiful shade of Cream, this Ostrich Tote by Ferragamo from its Spring-Summer Collection 2007 is the epitome of what an understated bag should look like - utterly timeless! And easy to match too! It's big enough for you to tote to work, and also for casual daily use. But the downside is that along with the Tote comes a hefty price tag - a whopping US$7,900!! Get this at your nearest Ferragamo boutique, or via Shop Vogue

Something fun to add to your bag collection, perhaps?

Salvatore Ferragamo Fiera Print Tote Bag

If you're looking for something bright, colorful and a lil more fun, consider this Fiera Print Tote by Salvatore Ferragamo. It comes in their signature carnival print, smooth leather trimming and silvertone hardware.

Available at Saks Fifth Avenue for a price of USD 840.00, the bag is perfect for your day out.
