Bulga delivers a glitzy glamourpuss of a purse in the Misa hobo.

While it's called a hobo, it doesn't have the crescent shape or boho feel we associate with these type of bags. Sure it's slouchy, but so are a lot of purses. In fact, the Misa bears a striking resemblance to the De Beber satchel! But while the De Beber is smart and sensible, the Misa is a party animal. Snakeskin is never a shy print, and the shiny silver color only adds to the effect. It's safe to say this will be too loud for many, but it's still bound to have its admirers.

The thing I love most about the Misa is that, unlike many other showy bags, it doesn't forget about the practical perks. Two round zippered pouches sit side by side, giving the purse that motorcycle feel it shares with the De Beber. The addition of pockets to that loud fabric could easily have become confused, but by keeping the satchel's shape simple and the embellishments at bay it works well.

The zippered entry with its braided pull opens to reveal a space which is generous, but not overwhelming. It may have been considered large once upon a time, but today it's probably regarded as medium. Whatever the case, it's big enough to carry your daily must-haves without weighing you down. That's a good thing too, because the stiff too-short straps don't make carrying easy.

If you're a disco queen this glittering hobo may be right up your alley.

Eco-Friendly Purse

Some people rinse and recycle plastic bottles, but an Austrian Industrial Design had another idea. Miulein cut the bottoms off of two bottles, connected them with a zipper and made this sweet little green change purse. It's cute and you do your part to save the planet! When I think of this purse though, I remember of how easily plastic two liters are crushed.

Cops and Donuts

This purse appears to be a part of a costume or gag (we hope). The handcuffs may not have been the best choice of handle for comfort, but cops and donuts definitely go together like pigs and mud. This bag illustrates that wonderfully by attaching a pair of handcuffs to a yummy looking strawberry glazed donut. And not to mention, the sprinkle beads are a lovely touch. No, really, who doesn't love sprinkles?

Coach's Poppy Collection is all glitz, glam, and youthful designs. Although this patent leather Glam Tote isn't quite as bodacious as some of the sequined designs from the popular line, the shiny look fits right in with Poppy's signature style.

The simple square-shaped silhouette of the Glam Tote is nothing extraordinary, to be sure. It's really just your classic, basic tote bag with a few zingy details to spice things up.

This version of the Glam contrasts glossy patent leather with grosgrain ribbon accent on the handles and running down the front and back of the handbag. Two convenient exterior zippered pockets are decorated with silver-toned o-ring pulls, as is the bag's main zipper closure on top.

I suppose patent leather wasn't quite enough glam for a bag named Glam, which must be why Coach added an extra glitter logo hangtag in addition to the one in patent. Overall, this a fun bag that offers a bit more pizazz than your average practical tote. It's also fairly consistent with the Poppy Collection's prices retailing at $268.

More Features of the Patent Glam Tote

• Measures 16.75 x 12.25 x 4 inches
• Double handles with 8.5 inch drop
• Fabric lined interior
• Exterior and interior pockets

There are versatile evening bags that easily accessorize just about any party outfit, and then there are the ones that make you long for a party. This Inge Christopher Alexis clutch is just the kind of evening bag around which I would plan an entire outfit for an event and be itching to use.

It might not be as showy as some options like the La Regale Pleated Bow Clutch, but the Alexis flap clutch has some very unique details that set it apart from other evening bag choices. The metallic silver sheen on the delicately pleated silk-blend fabric isn't entirely uncommon for this style of purse. However, the extras are what kick it up a notch.

One side of the front flapover closure has been decorated with thin chains that have been artfully arranged in a surprisingly soft feature. The chains wind around large Swarovski crystals also set into the design. The combination of the metallic fabric mixed with silver chain and shimmering crystals sounds like it would be too overwhelming for one little clutch bag, but I actually love the way it comes together.

This slightly edgy Inge Christopher take on the evening bag retails for $198. It is also available in a similarly priced framed clutch style as well.

More Features of the Alexis Flap Clutch

• Measures 8.5 x 5.25 x 1.75 inches
• Optional chain strap with 7 inch drop
• Front flap with magnetic closure

Coloriffics has a certain knack for creating timeless evening purses for less. This vintage-inspired satin clutch is just another example of the stylish looks we've come to expect from the brand.

Crafted from white satin, this classic purse is jazzed up with a scrolling splash of floral embroidery and a dash of glittering rhinestones. The design's a little old fashioned, but with vintage enjoying a resurgence many girls won't mind a bit!

Most of us have reservations about white purses, but that needn't be a concern here. Coloriffics assures us that the purse can easily be dyed any hue of the rainbow! That would make this purse the ideal accompaniment for your favorite evening outfit. And I can't think of a better way to disguise a little dirt or a red wine stain!

Like so many evening bags, the features are limited. There's enough room for cocktail party must-haves, but you'll need to leave the luxuries at home. A tuck-away silver shoulder strap takes up some of that space, but you'll be thankful for it once the night wears on.

At $37, this sweet satin purse is an inexpensive way to enjoy several evening looks!

We all know what kind of germs and nasties lurk on floors, but let's face it. Most handbag hangers look a little cheap and nasty. Now Pavina has solved the problem with its stylish range of purse hooks.

Take this gorgeous Olivine for example. This gem encrusted beauty does our designer handbags justice with its silver-toned finish, glittering Swarovski crystals, and faceted semi-precious stones. Just like the other Pavina bag hooks the Olivine is made to support up to 25 pounds, so it should hold most oversized and overstuffed bags. It's padded to protect restaurant tablecloths and hardwood bars, and refreshingly lead-free. It's also one of the brand's cheapest models, clocking in at just $45.

Pavina's artistic handbag holders have been embraced by some of Hollywood's most stylish stars, including Angelina Jolie, Nicole Richie, and L.A.M.B. and Harajuku Lovers' handbag diva Gwen Stefani.

Pavina Handbag Holders are available online at Marlobrands.

What with the Christmas party season fast approaching, now is the perfect time to start stocking up on your glitter.

If you want to own a clutch that is glittery and metallic without spending too much money, then this little purse form Coloriffics is a snap at $38 in either gold or silver.

Of course, glitter isn't the classiest substance on the planet. For having a bit of fun though, nothing catches people's eyes in quite the same way. As long as you aren't spending too much money on it, a pretty clutch will let you have fun and party until the sun comes up.

This Coloriffics metallic clutch is a basic bag. You aren't paying for luxuries, and as such you get a simple lining, single ineffectual slide pocket and an optional chain handle. These fulfil their purpose, but are unlikely to last several seasons.

If you are looking for a cheap and cheerful Christmas purse, this will do fine. The look is stylish, the cost is low even if the quality isn't quite up to snuff!

Most Prezzo purses I've spotted are strictly after five affairs, with polished patent leathers, glittering sequins, and plenty of flair. So this Flower Shop handbag from the brand really comes out of left field.

This purse reminds me of a Radley bag, with its embroidered flower shop and playful personality. The vibrant thread contrasts with its black fabric background, ensuring the design really pops. It may not have the sequins and sass of many Prezzo purses, but a shrinking violet it is not.

Of course, that embroidered pattern is sure to polarize bagistas. Many will love its whimsical, almost Parisian look, while others will consider it juvenile and without charm. If you fall into the former camp, the design isn't likely to change your mind. Many fabric bags forget the features, but this isn’t one of them. There's a zippered pocket on the back, and another one inside. There's also a slip pouch which is perfect for holding your cell. A zip top closure keeps everything safe and sound.

For a mere $14.99, this is a fun bag for a trip to the farmers' markets or a picnic. It won't go with everything, or suit every occasion, but for that price I'm willing to overlook those limitation.

With the winter holiday season rapidly approaching, it's time to start thinking about the perfect party accessories. Glittery clutches are always appropriate for dressy holiday events, and any of Santi's options are sure to make a statement.

This Santi Blake clutch, with its black and silver pattern and shimmering body, reminds me quite a bit of the Whiting & Davis Chevron Jelly Roll bag. Although Whiting & Davis's creation is made from metal mesh and Santi favors sequins and satin, the patterns on the two handbags are strikingly similar.

I'm not sure that sequins are the best option since they aren't known for being particularly sturdy. The metal mesh on the Chevron Jelly Roll might be a better option for durability. However, Santi's clutches aren't cheaply made, and the Blake will most likely hold up just fine with light use during special events.

Although slim in design, this Santi bag is a decent size for a party clutch since bare necessities are all that's required. There's even a handy optional chain strap that tucks in neatly when not in use. I prefer the look of this sequined clutch without the strap, but it's nice to have the option available.

• Measures 10.25 x 4.25 x 1.25 inches
• Optional chain strap with 10 inch drop

Guess is always one to jump on the trend bandwagon. With the Oyster satchel, the brand follows the current taste for colorblock accessories.

Colorblock designs offer a very specific look, and one which isn't likely to last beyond a season or two. Yet the complementary blend of colors here might help you carry the Oyster a little longer. By pairing diagonal stripes in similar shades, Guess has created a bag with real staying power. Still, all those colors won't appeal to everyone. Thankfully Guess also includes a black bag, which features the same geometric design with classic black-on-black stripes.

Guess reigns in the glitz here, with the rhinestone encrusted logo plaque providing the only hint of bling. I could have done without these glittering gems, but fans of the brand will be thankful for their inclusion!

The interior is a little less subtle, with a vibrant signature print lining giving Guess' trademark splash of color. All those fruity tones may look a little out of place, but it's hard to mind when an interior space is so well organized. This exceeds our expectations, with a long zippered pocket, a cell phone slip, and two more multifunctional pouches. Use one for your MP3 player and another for a small camera!

The rolled handles are a little shorter than I'd like, but most girls will have no problems slipping them over their shoulder.

When you buy Guess, you don't expect real leather or high quality. But a bag like this Oyster satchel does help budget-loving fashionistas enjoy an on-trend color-blocked purse. It may not last forever, but neither will this fad!
