The Hills star Stephanie Pratt, the younger sister of Spencer, has become one of Hollywood's most popular style icons. But have you ever wondered what's inside her lustworthy accessories? Us Magazine recently lifted the lid, asking Stephanie what five items she always keeps inside her favourite Miu Miu studded leather purse.

Stephanie's love of designer labels is as evident inside her purse as it is out. She carries a Balenciaga wallet, which is always stuffed full of cards and cash. Then there are the Marc by Marc Jacobs sunglasses for beating the Los Angeles glare. Then there are dozens of lip glosses and miniature scents from Jacobs and Stella McCartney because "you never know what boy you're going to meet" and you "have to smell good." I guess it pays to be prepared! Stephanie's final must-have item is her Blackberry for Tweeting on the go.

Stephanie loves her handbags so much, she's begun to design her own. Three of the purses she carries in the current season of The Hills are Stephanie Pratt originals. Tune in to The Hills on MTV on Tuesday nights to see them for yourself!

Rose McGowan is clearly besotted with her Louis Vuitton Epi Soufflot, even if she's a little confused about its name!

When asked about her “fashion essentials,” the actress told Stylehive about her love for the “log” bags.

"Well I have about eight I don’t know what they're called, I call them 'the log,'" she admitted. "The Louis Vuitton bag that looks like a log with straps."

I'd never really thought of it that way before, but I suppose the iconic wooden texture of the Epi collection, and the long barrel shape, do make the Soufflot resemble a log! I'm sure Louis Vuitton will be disappointed that the proper name slipped the star's mind though.

Rose was spotted shopping in Beverly Hills this weekend carrying the mandarin orange variety. She's also been snapped toting the distinctive purse in black, red, and emerald green. So that makes four. I can't help wondering what other colors the Charmed star keeps in her collection!

They say one man's trash is another's treasure, but it's almost certain that the person who donated a Betty Boop purse to a Goodwill store in Kettering didn't realize the rare gem they were giving up.

The jewel-encrusted minaudiere was one of only 2,500 handcrafted by Kathrine Baumann Beverly Hills. The designer is a favorite with stylish celebs including Madonna, Cher, Jennifer Aniston, and Brooke Shields.

"Someone recognized right away that this purse was very unique," said Mari Jo Sellers, marketing/communications specialist for Goodwill Easter Seals Miami Valley. "We have a process whereby anything deemed valuable or collectable is sent to headquarters and processed there. Most of those items go to shopgoodwill.com but because the purse had a collector’s number on it, we decided to harness the power of eBay."

It's anyone's guess how much this limited edition purse will fetch, as the designer's regular accessories ordinarily cost thousands. If you'd like to add it to your collection though, click here to find it on eBay. But be quick, there's only a little over a week to get your bids in!

Every wardrobe needs that little black dress. The simple statement item for use in emergencies or when inspiration heads for the hills. The challenge is always in finding a LBD that has that something special, that je ne sais quoi. A generic and multi-purpose item with a spark of individuality and creativity.

The same concept applies to handbags. A sexy black clutch will always look good and bring a dash of sophistication to any outfit. The only question is which Little Black Clutch to buy?

This designer purse from Laura Darrah and Shelia Nazarian is a good place to start. It's simple, subtle and sexy. Even better, it actually comes with little interior compartments and has just the right amount of storage. Fabricated out of (as always) wildly luxurious leather, it even has a sexy luxury lining and bullet gray trim.

Now for the the special bits, that really set it apart from the herd. This bag is definitely different, featuring an embossed skull design all around. "How macabre!" I hear you cry, but it isn't really! The pattern is subtle enough to be edgy emo-chic rather than encourage dodgy graveyard capers! I feel that the unusual design really gives you a chance to look different and individual, and covet a celebrity look sans being in-your-face.

Of course, conservative dressers may find this sort of statement bag too obvious for their liking, and if that is the case then there are many black or patent clutches out there that should do the trick. If you pride yourself on trend-loving and bravery, however, this is a tongue-in-cheek statement that does all the hard work for you.

Versace has a new joint effort in the works directed specifically at male car enthusiasts. They've teamed up with Lamborghini to create a special, limited-edition line of men's travel accessories.

The line is supposed to be the ideal companion for one of the Lamborghini/Versace car collaborations: the Murciélago LP 640 Roadster Versace. I can guess what you're probably thinking now - one of the companies' car collaborations? Maybe it's just me out of the loop, but I was previously unaware that such any such thing existed much less in plural form.

Nevertheless, the sleek Roadster Versace is a thing to behold and evidently only required the ideal travel bag to complete the perfect picture. These new, and equally luxurious, bags are all black and made from soft calfskin leather with just a hint of silver hardware.

The prices of this limited-edition line will range from $395 to $5,500, which should be pocket change for someone who owns the corresponding car. If you've got your eye on one of them, you'll have to visit Versace's New York or Beverly Hills boutique location where they will be offered exclusively.

Studs are everywhere this season, and Rebecca Minkoff is right on trend with an entire line of her fabulous handbags outfitted with the edgy detail. Some of the designer's most popular styles, like the Morning After and the Devote, have been given a rock-and-roll makeover with studs.

Some of us can only drool over these Minkoff's lavishly priced bags let alone purchase the newest versions of them. That's where the glorious designer handbag giveaway comes in to save the day.

The latest one I've come across is from BagSnob.com. They're giving away one of Rebecca Minkoff's studded Crush bags that regularly retails for $295.

This mini but versatile little number will take you from day to night with its black leather, shiny hand-plated studs, and pretty chain link strap. It's got that perfect combination of masculine and feminine that's hot right now. I can almost picture Kate Moss with something like this draped across her body.

To enter the competition, you merely answer a one-question quiz that asks you to name a Rebecca Minkoff-carrying celebrity from a picture. Thankfully it's an easy one to guess (hint: someone who recently transitioned from The Hills to The City).

Head over to the giveaway page soon to enter your answer, though. The quiz ends this Friday, April 10, at midnight and is open to U.S. residents only.

The Donna hobo by Alexander Wang reminds us that there's more to the current 1980s trend than colorblocked fabrics and glitz. Its more Pat Benatar than Pointer Sisters, with its black leather finish and rock and roll edge.

Your eyes are instantly drawn to the dual pockets up front, which combine practicality with style. The wraparound zips offer more security than regular slip pouches, while the silver hardware adds to the punk vibe. There are another two slip pockets above, but with their complementary suede trim they’re designed to blend in. It's refreshing to see a purse where all the elements don’t try to compete for attention.

We see another zip running from the top to the base. At first glance it looks like just another style decision, but it's so much more. Open it up to increase the hobo's storage capacity from large to luxurious.

I could probably be happy without the extra room, but in a world of oversized bags many will appreciate a little more space to spread out. I only wish the Donna came with the organizational features we need in oversized mode. The zippered pocket is roomy, but it's still not enough to keep everything in order.

The leather strap ties in a knot, so is size is completely adjustable.  It's also long, making it versatile enough to wear over your shoulder or slung across your body. That casual cross-body look is perfect for the Donna's edgy and slightly dangerous style.

Big Buddha bags are perfect for getting the trendy designer looks for significantly less. Though they are usually constructed from man-made materials, these purses can often pass for the real deal. Fun, runway styles are easily accessible with Big Buddha's affordable prices.

The Denise Satchel shown here instantly reminded me of the Botkier Bianca with its ruched front pockets. The features are so similar that one might assume the Denise was inspired by the designer bag. However, other details that are unique to the Big Buddha purse set the two apart.

In addition to the ruched pockets, the Denise handbag has a drawstring that loops around the top. It's all about the appearance, though, since this bag actually closes with magnetic snaps. However, don't let that make you assume it isn't practical. The roomy interior will hold plenty of everyday items plus extra.

I love the unstructured, slightly bohemian feel to this faux leather purse. Big Buddha generally creates items with a California-chic, laid-back vibe, and this one is a great example of their signature style. It will have you feeling like Lauren Conrad from The Hills in no time. At only $90, the Denise Satchel is an inexpensive yet versatile handbag choice for your wardrobe.

• 13.5 x 17.5 x 6.5 inches
• Double handles with 6.5 inch drop
• Leather-like material

When Lauren Conrad is seen with a handbag, you know it's going to be popular. The reality star from The Hills is just one celebrity who has become a fan of Treesje bags. Jessica Szohr, television starlet of Gossip Girl fame, has also been photographed toting the brand. Although Treesje is young as a company, its popularity has grown exponentially thanks to some famous fans.

The specific handbag seen on both LC and Jessica (a.k.a. Vanessa Abrams) is the Treesje Asher. This satchel comes in two sizes: oversized and uber-oversized. Okay, those terms might not be entirely accurate, but that's how I perceive them. The regular satchel version is plenty big for everyday use, but the Asher Grande is overdoing it a bit, in my opinion. You only need to see one picture of Lauren Conrad nearly dwarfed by the enormous size to see what I mean.

Grande version or not, the Asher is very stylish handbag. The curved zipper details on the front have a cool rocker vibe, but the braided leather handles and pleated accents tone it down a little. If you're thinking that a braided strap doesn't sound particularly comfortable, no need to worry. Treesje also included a detachable strap with a wide leather piece that sits easily on your shoulder.

The price for the Asher handbag runs anywhere from $595 to $698 depending on the style you choose. This might seem a little high to some, but considering the intricate details of the purse and the sheer size of it, it doesn't seem like a bad deal.

More Features of the Asher Bag

• Regular satchel measures 15 x 4.5 x 10 inches
• Grande satchel measures 18 x 6.5 x 12.5 inches
• Braided leather handle with 7 inch drop
• Fully lined interior
