… bright color with a hint of barely-there color? Here’s one result. This Tory Burch Dipped Canvas French Wallet is simple and pretty. Despite its size, it packs plenty of punch with its vivacious coral hue. It caught my eye at the Tory boutique recently, but I’m not quite on the market for a new wallet at the moment. When I am, though, I’m putting my money on (and in) this baby. Find it for $125 at Nordstrom.

… gifts for graduations or birthdays! I’d love to receive the Juicy Couture Pacific Avenue Small French Wallet tucked in a gift bag for my big day. This quilted leather wallet is stunning in its pale mushroom color, so it will surely look great with any and every handbag in the closet. The gold logo-stamped hardware is a sweet detail that definitely didn’t go unnoticed. And I love the fact that this wallet has a zip-around closure just to make sure nothing slips out. Dig into your old …

To bring a purse or not to bring a purse? Now that I have the Brahmin Debi Wristlet Wallet, I don’t even have to consider it. I can stash my debit card, ID, lipstick inside, and then slip my iPhone into the interior cell phone sleeve. Other purses need not apply. Ok, just kidding. They can still apply since this wallet is small enough to fit in a bag as well. Not that we’d want to hide the St. Bart’s …

… Augousti (married couple Ria and Yiouri) embrace global fashion in a most adventurous manner. The French-based line is responsible for some of the most luxurious wares to hit the industry in years – think shagreen-covered jewelry boxes, shoeboxes crafted of luminous shells, and tables made of stingrays. To bring such exoticism to women’s fashion only made sense, and the label’s fall/winter 2012 lineup is further evidence of their design prowess.

The Geometric Clutch sounds incredibly …

… to our fashion that you really don’t see anywhere else in the states. You see it a lot with the French, who like us are habitual rule breakers. Seriously, pockets of Silver Lake, Downtown, 3rd & Beverly feel like Paris in regard to day-to-day street style especially with the dudes. We get such a bad rap for being lazy which I find a tad insulting- we are just misunderstood, for there is a great deal of purpose and order to our style. We are deliberate with our details, but I can see how …

There was a pristine quality to the Marni fall/winter 2012 collection. What sauntered down the runway wasn’t so much outwardly glamorous as it was crisp, pure, clean, and even minimal. There was plenty of contrast – warm biscuits and soft grays mingled amicably with cherry reds and soft blues. There were also a few unfortunate pieces that appeared to be inspired by great-grandma’s sitting room wallpaper, but they’re forgivable mistakes. …

There was nothing discreet or understated about the Marc by Marc Jacobs fall/winter 2012 collection, but it stood out primarily for its heightened attention to elegance and even glamour. The ladylike range was a grunge-free presentation of full skirts and severe blouses, bold printed dresses, and strong statement coats. Mixed within where pops of color that came via gorgeous handbags – fuss-free clutches and oversized hobos among them. Take a peek at a few favorites: …

… I find Ted Baker downright irresistible, but this ‘Rose Bug – Bobble’ Printed Matinee Wallet has me scratching my head a bit. It’s not bright and springy floral, it’s more grandma’s wallpaper. What gives, Teddy? If this print is appealing to you, it’s a great wallet with it’s shiny be-bobbled coin purse closure, ID window and multiple card slots, but I’ll take mine in a basic patent leather. Available at Nordstrom for $180.

… Neons are in for spring, and while it would take some convincing to get me to carry a neon purse, I’m always willing to carry a bolder wallet that I can tuck inside my day to day satchel. The McQueen by Alexander McQueen ‘Collar Stud’ Wallet is sorely tempting with its bright shades (available in pink and orange) and some studs to give this candy colored piece some edge. Available at Nordstrom for $250.
