Bulgari's Dalia bag has been spotted on the arms of Jessica Alba, Eva Mendes, and Frieda Pinto. But it's not hard to see why. The relaxed hobo-like slouch of buttery soft leather combines with the simple, sophisticated design makes this Bulgari purse the ideal day-to-night accessory.

This is one bag that gives us options, although none of them are exactly cheap. This ebony calf leather Dalia is one of the most affordable at $2100. If your budget can stretch further you may consider the Dalia in buffalo leather or even python. Our alternatives aren't limited to fabrics either, with Bulgari releasing many different colors of this celebrity favorite.

I love the Dalia's sexy curves and soft, sensual pleats. The hardware is kept to a minimum; small buckles on the side and the logo embossed double ring in the center give a flash of metallic gleam while keeping the bag's classic looks intact.

This is an enormous bag, make no mistake, but as it doesn't dwarf the frame of its celebrity fans us mere mortals should be able to handle it. I'd have appreciated more than a the tiny zippered pocket and cell phone slip to keep such a large space organized, but I think carrying such a delicious piece of arm candy would be worth the extra effort!

I've seen so many woven handbags from Bottega Veneta that they're almost starting to get boring. So I was excited to see this very different looking purse from the Italian fashion house.

It's not just a new look for Bottega Veneta. The Cushion Bag looks like no bag I've ever seen more, and when you see as many handbags as I do that's really saying something. There are many different Cushion Bag styles in Bottega Veneta's catalog, but the one that's really won my heart is the Mosaico Cervo. The name comes from the embroidered leather finish which looks like tiny mosaic tiles. The tiles sit close together on the sides of the bag, before becoming scattered haphazardly along the top. The texture makes it hard to look away, so don't be surprised if you turn a few heads carrying this baby.

The bag opens with two zips positioned between the rolled shoulder straps. I wish the zipper didn't extend quite so far, as it interrupts the purse's sexy curves, but it does mean you can open the cushion bag wide. A leather trimmed zipper pocket and an open pouch help keep your girly goods in order.

Bottega Veneta purses never come cheap, and this stunning cushion bag is no exception. At $4,380, this is one expensive piece of arm candy, but that shouldn't come as any surprise to those who worship at the Bottega Veneta alter.

• Suede lined interior
• Dual rolled handles with a 6.5 inch drop
• Measures 17 inch diameter and 4 inches tall

High School Musical star Ashley Tisdale should be able to afford most trinkets that catch her eye, but the 24-year-old star is still working on her Christmas wish list. Her most wanted item this year? A new purse of course!

"I love handbags, so I'm hoping for a new handbag," she told media at Bauer Publishing's M magazine Hollywood Halloween party in New York City recently.

She added that her strict parents, who wouldn't let her own a designer bag until she was 19, fueled her love of expensive labels like Louis Vuitton.

"I got my first Louis Vuitton at 19 from my parents. I usually get those kind of bags from my parents. It's not like I can just go shopping and buy all the designer bags I want because I don't think I'm at a place where I can do that." She added that, "I think it's more special when you get it as a gift."

I'll be scouring the fashion pages after Christmas to see whether Ms Tisdale is sporting a shiny new piece of arm candy!

Candy Wrapper Bag

[Image Source]

This bag was made from candy wrappers that would have ended up in the landfill, which makes it not only super cute, but eco-friendly as well. It reminds us of the Capri Sun bag, but in a cute, pocket-sized coin purse version. It looks like there are many kinds of candy wrappers to satisfy everyone's preferences, and there are fun colors to boot!

Saddle Bag

This may possibly be the only saddle bag any woman wants. It's great for showing off a western flair and the perfect bag for true cowgirls. It also looks durable, which is definitely a plus. We just want to know how much it stores and how you carry it. Maybe you can just hold it by the horn. And don't we all wish it came with a free pony attached?

Although I'm a big proponent of the eco-friendly movement and am all for the practice of using unexpected recycled products in fashion, I've never been a huge fan of the Harveys seatbelt bags. I can appreciate the product for a clever use of the material. However, like the Nahui Ollin candy wrapper bags, I can't help but sometimes see the original material staring back at me when I look at them.

There are a few exceptions to my slight distaste for the brand, though, with one such style being the striped Harveys Rugby Satchel. Now I can add a new one to that short list. This Seatbelt Wristlet from the brand is definitely all seatbelt but on a smaller, more palatable scale.

Perhaps it is the vibrant red hue of the wristlet that attracts me as well. I actually like the way that the weaving on the bag brings out different tones within the color.

Like most practical wristlets, this Harveys design has a detachable wrist strap allowing you to either wear it on your hand, carry it as a clutch, or tuck it in a larger bag for extra storage. The price tag of $78 is a little steep for such a casual wrist bag, in my opinion, but it's not an uncommon range for an eco-friendly line.

More Features of the Seatbelt Wristlet

• Measures 8.75 x 5 x 0.75 inches
• Zip top closure
• Woven seatbelt material

Its name might suggest a bright red and white purse ready for the holidays, but the Laurel and Sunset Candy Stripe Tote is a much more vampish bag.

Instead of the traditional red and white candy combo you might expect, this tote features wide burgundy and black stripes. It might not be very festive, but the pairing is perfect for this wintery weather.

As with most bags at this price point, this tote isn't made from real leather. But the synthetic does a good impression thanks to its distressed treatment. It may not last as long as the more luxurious fabric, but in the short-term I can't fault the look.

At just $39.95, this tote delivers all that you'd expect. It's massive, so you'll always have enough space for everything you want to carry. There's a zippered pocket, a cell phone pouch, and an open slip inside to keep things organized. I'd probably appreciate more than this standard configuration to help my essentials stay in order, but in a bag of this price I certainly don't expect it.

This Laurel and Sunset tote is a good looking tote which will serve you well while it lasts. However at this price, don't be surprised if it falls apart within a year or two.

More Features of This Laurel and Sunset Synthetic Tote

• Gold-tone hardware
• Cotton/nylon blend fabric lining
• Top zipper closure
• A single shoulder strap with a 6 inch drop
• Measures 18 x 13 x 4 inches

Many of Nahui Ollin’s cute candy wrapper purses are for girls who travel light. This Barhandle Satchel shows the eco-friendly designer is just as skilled at working on a larger scale.

Larger is a relative term though. Packrats shouldn't pick this up expecting a substitute for their well-worn oversized carryall. It's a medium-sized satchel, but one that probably holds a little less than the average. The woven candy wrappers are surprisingly strong, but you don't want to test them by overstuffing. Besides, with no pockets to keep the interior organized, extra luxuries will only create clutter.

Like any Nahui Ollin, the greatest drawcard is that adorable candy wrapper finish which makes each one a true original. This floral print is perfect for girls craving spring, while the barcode pattern has a chic monochrome look. The straight leather straps give the Barhandle its name. They look so striking, but they mean you will have to carry this satchel by hand. Thankfully the candy-wrapper fabric is more lightweight than leather or PVC.

The Barhandle has its limitations, but green girls looking to upsize their Nahui Ollin collection will probably find a way to work around them!

Chloé is one of my favorite lines. It always seems to come up with something totally unique and chic. Unfortunately, this Joy Rider tote doesn't bear any resemblance to the Chloé I've come to know and love.

The puffy metallic nylon and the generally slouchy design of the bag make it look almost completely shapeless. That, in combination with the fluffy lamb keyring (which, thank God, is detachable), makes it look like an oversized child's lunchbox.

I think this bag will mostly appeal to teenage ravers. In 1995. It's seriously that ridiculous. But throw it together with some baggy jeans, a baby tee, and oh, I don't know, a candy pacifier, and you basically have the perfect throwback costume.

On the plus side, it's only $195, so if you're super desperate for a designer bag, then this one is quite affordable. Frankly, I'm not even sure I would use it as a gym bag. If only it weren't this ostentatious color, I think it could be salvaged as a tote, but in blue, eww.

Since I really can't think of anything nice to say about this bag, I think I'll quit while I'm ahead.

Get ready for the media frenzy and paparazzi obsession. The infamous gals of Sex and the City are back to filming for the newest installment in the movie franchise, and the first images of filming are quite promising.

Expect more luxurious fashion and over-the-top outfits from the quirky and lovable character Carrie Bradshaw. Although we still don't know in what direction the writers are taking Carrie for Sex and the City 2, we can definitely expect that the wardrobe department will be draping her in all kinds of designer clothes, bags, and shoes.

One of the first images from the filming to hit the web shows Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie taking a jaunt down a New York City street wearing an ensemble that women everywhere will covet. Out are the beloved Manolos, and in is a nice, little combination of Christian Louboutin shoes and handbag.

The shoes are gorgeous, but the bag is quite an eyecatcher. The rather enormous (as in, SJP could probably curl up inside of it) Sylvia Large Drapey Hobo is hard to miss in what appears to be a bright pink color. There's nothing subtle about it, but it sure is stylish and quite a far cry from her Timmy Woods Eiffel Tower bag in the first film.

Christian Louboutin Handbags on eBay

Forget hemp and candy wrappers. The latest eco-friendly fad is handbags made from billboards. Previously these purses were exclusive to green labels like Artecnica and GG2G, but now some big name designers are cashing in on the trend. The latest to don their eco-warrior hat is Chinese Laundry.

It makes sense to recycle billboards for bags. Their PVC finish is durable, so the purses will last for season after season. The fabric is also affordable. You can nab this Chinese Laundry tote for just $27. They're also bright and bold, and as each one comes from a different billboard each tote is completely unique. And if that wasn't enough, the smooth fabric also wipes clean with a damp cloth.

The generous interior is fully lined, but it lacks the organizational features a space of this size needs. I guess Chinese Laundry had to make some sacrifices to keep the price down! At least there's a magnetic clasp to keep your girly goodies kept safely inside.

This Billboard Tote is a great way to advertise your green credentials without sacrificing style.
