Tory Burch is the queen of upper crust fashion. She's got her pulse on all the poshest bastions of conservative style, most notably Palm Beach and the Upper East Side. If you're in Miami, you can hardly walk a step in Bal Harbor without a pair of Tory Burch styles. It's classic, ...

When the snow is beating down, there are few things as fashionable as an ivory handbag. This beautiful crocodile printed bag from Alaia is an excellent example.

As a high end diffusion line, I feel like it is DKNY's job to interpret the trends for a wide audience and make them economically accessible. For the past few months it disappointed me with unsophisticated, over-embellished pieces. But lately, it's been offering simple chic bags that are ...

Alexander McQueen's edgy skull accented, Union Jack emblazoned bags tend to grab all the headlines. But the late, great British designer also produced some of the most elegant handbags you'll ever meet. This chic Flapper bag is a great example of this creative genius' more conservative side.

Ahoy maties! Whether you're on ship or shore, Tory Burch can give your outfit a sailor feel with the nautical tote.
