A New Handbag for Winter 07

Twice a year, I search for a day bag to complement the key seasonal looks in my wardrobe. Aiming for the latest style and the most versatile colour, I can usually find the best value for money right now.

If you feel it's time for a new bag (Kimberly always feels it's time for a new bag!), there are some great new styles and textures available. This season, shape is more structured, size is dramatic (either oversized or smaller and very neat) and colours are richer, in grey, black, cream and metallic.

For some stylish, inexpensive options, try Fiorelli, Fashion Statement, Guess, Jag, Olga Berg and Strandbags in a variety of key looks:

• faux fur,
• mock reptile,
• mock croc,
• gathered,
• quilted,
• crinkle,
• animal print,
• floral, and
  
• hardware/bling.

I just love the mock croc which is big this year in bags and clutches.

Enjoy looking!

Note: For Guess in Australia, go to Guess outlets, Department Stores or Strandbags.
