Best of 2012: Handbag of the Year

While a bevvy of bags were debuted this year from covet-worthy labels like Mulberry, Proenza Schouler, and Givenchy, only a select few would achieve It bag status on the arms of celebrities and street-style stars alike.

While a bevvy of bags were debuted this year from covet-worthy labels like Mulberry, Proenza Schouler, and Givenchy, only a select few would achieve It bag status on the arms of celebrities and street-style stars alike. After careful consideration — and a year's worth of evidence — these are the standouts: Fendi's 2Jours structured satchel, a favorite of celebs like Reese Witherspoon, who owns it in tan; Céline's luggage tote, which practically every fashion lover, street-style star, and fashion insider went crazy over; 3.1 Phillip Lim's Pashli bag, which many described as a fusion of the Céline tote and an Hermès Birkin; and Valentino's Rockstud oversize clutch, which style setters like Olivia Palermo and Alexa Chung proudly displayed at Fashion Week. We'd be happy to tote any of the four, and surely they all deserve a spot in this category — but which style warrants the handbag of the year title? Cast your vote now!

Irina Shayk Takes Her Colored Denim Into Fall With Black Suede Boots

With Fall in full swing, some may be wary of taking their colored denim into cooler months, but Irina Shayk's latest travel style proves the popular Summer trend translates perfectly into Fall and Winter when styled correctly.

With Fall in full swing, some may be wary of taking their colored denim into cooler months, but Irina Shayk's latest travel style proves the popular Summer trend translates perfectly into Fall and Winter when styled correctly. The model paired her periwinkle denim with a black knit sweater, suede fold-over boots, and a periwinkle leather Fendi tote ($3,720) while strolling through the Madrid airport. Her chunky knit and textured boots balanced her colored skinny jeans perfectly, while her monogrammed Louis Vuitton scarf ($630) and aviator shades added a touch of model glamour. Take a cue from Irina and pair rich-hued denim — think mustard, rust, and military green — with luxe knits and cozy wrap scarves for a cool-weather take on the celeb-approved Summer trend.

Fendi Spring 2013 | Runway

Karl Lagerfeld's luxe version of futurism for Spring 2013 consisted of clean sportswear silhouettes, Bauhaus graphics, and one of the freshest color palettes seen so far this season. Pastel and bold hues — apricot, turquoise, ochre, baby blue, red, beige, and gray — were offset by crisp black or solid white, and when rendered in the form of thick lines (on the hems of A-line skirts) or contrasting panels (on button placards and on the inseams of pants) it all made for a sharp, optical effect. Leather, fur, and an oversized explosion print added texture and softness, while the house's colorblocked bags — stripped of all hardware — felt modern and fresh.

Fendi Spring 2013

After one look at the Fendi Spring 2013 lineup, we had a pretty good idea of what Karl Lagerfeld had on his mind when designing it.

After one look at the Fendi Spring 2013 lineup, we had a pretty good idea of what Karl Lagerfeld had on his mind when designing it. An eye for beautiful shoes (can we have a pair of each?), a strong penchant for sportswear, a bright colorblocking palette, a dash of sparkle, and perhaps, a thing for geometric shapes. And who can find fault with a collection that so seamlessly fuses an athletic sensibility with the brand's luxurious fur outerwear? At its core, Fendi stuck to a geo-printed design M.O. (with mink fur thrown into the mix), and it was evident in everything from the structural cuts to the architecturally-perfect peep-toe sandals. In case you were wondering what bag you might be seeing on the arm of every It girl, look out for the quirky Rubik's Cube-esque cube bag, complete with hand strap and zippered siding. Get our trend breakdown below, then see Fendi's Spring '13 collection, in full, when you click on.

  • Trends: Fur, colorblocking, an athletic sensibility, geometric prints, collars, and strong boxy silhouettes.
  • Colors: White, orange, blue, nude, ecru, peach, teal, and yellow.
  • Key Piece: The oversize blue honeycomb sweater — oh the layering possibilities!
  • Accessories: A Rubik's Cube-inspired cube bag with zipper details, slick double-button belts, geo-shaped sunglasses, striped cuffs, and peep-toe sandals.
  • Who Should Wear It: Loyal wearers of Fendi will flock to this Spring collection, so we expect to see starlets like Emma Stone, Jessica Biel, and Miranda Kerr decked out in the sportier dresses and updated bag styles.

Kourtney Kardashian's Printed Shirtdress and How to Wear It For Fall

Kourtney Kardashian walked the streets of Miami with her family looking colorful in her Mara Hoffman printed high-low shirtdress ($368).

Kourtney Kardashian walked the streets of Miami with her family looking colorful in her Mara Hoffman printed high-low shirtdress ($368). While we can't take our eyes off of the eclectic tribal print, Kourtney's strategically stylish accessories — nude cat-eye sunglasses, white t-strap Fendi sandals, and a beige Céline luggage tote — are the reason her look is so spotlight-worthy. The reality star wore her dress in a summery way, but we think it would be just as fabulous for Fall. Sport it with tights, booties, and a statement coat, throw on a vest — leather, denim, fur — for further fun, or top it over a black turtleneck for unique styling. Then for some definition in your waist, belt it with a metallic skinny or wide belt.

Jessica Biel Breaks Up Black and White — With Metallic Pumps!

Jessica Biel popped up in London for more Total Recall promotions overseas and looked ultrachic in a black-and-white ensemble made up of a white sleeveless halter top, tucked into a pair of black cropped jeans.

Jessica Biel popped up in London for more Total Recall promotions overseas and looked ultrachic in a black-and-white ensemble made up of a white sleeveless halter top, tucked into a pair of black cropped jeans. But without her fancy Jimmy Choo metallic pointy pumps ($650), her nighttime ensemble wouldn't have been as jazzy. Adding further pizzazz to Jessica's outfit were multiple bangles, a black ring, and a Fendi black structured bag ($2,260). Wear a similar look for those nights when you want to look dressy but casual and comfortable. Shop similar pieces, including Jessica's exact pumps, to get started.
