Handbags

There's no question Edward Scissorhands had style, but who would expect the character to inspire a sprightly Spring line? Loeffler Randall's Spring 2013 shoe and handbag collections have arrived, and designer Jessie Randall cites the cult classic film, along with the concept of suburban perfection, as her inspiration. Have no fear: there are no sharp edges in this array. Instead, we're seeing graphic black and white mixed with bright hues, feminine details, and romantic motifs. In a floral-print linen-silk blend fabric, the Dahlia platform heel is an instant icon that we'd pair with silk pants for the day or high-waisted shorts with a little Nancy Sinatra style for the evening. We're also pleased to see the brand's popular Rider bag softened for Spring in a delicious creamsicle-esque orange. Shop the rest of the just-in pieces below.

It's hard showing off your styling skills underneath all of those Winter layers, but we have just the cure for your fashion conundrum: switch out your usual everyday tote for an eye-catching embellished bag. As the street styler chicly proves below, the right statement handbag adds that extra flourish and finishing touch to just about any look. Seriously, how amazing is that rosette-embellished Chanel bag? To follow suit on this styling trick, don a floral or beaded satchel against a minimal office look for a new twist on your 9 to 5 getup, or try out a stunning jewel-encrusted iteration for an evening out on the town. Easy, right? Just shop our 18 editors' picks below.

The piece: Alexander Wang Rocco Duffel in Vine Green

The investment: $895

Why it's worth it: With the New Year just weeks away, we can't think of a better way to kick off 2013 than with a brand-new bag. Yes, it might just be another excuse to go shopping, but there's no denying the star quality of this gorgeous green Alexander Wang Rocco duffel. With style setters and stars around the world sporting iterations of the Rocco season after season, the sporty-cum-chic silhouette has become a classic in its own right. And now that Wang signed on as Balenciaga's new creative director, we expect the Rocco to be even bigger next year. What's more, the refreshing vine-green hue — we love how it contrasts against the bag's iconic studs at the bottom — is right in line with 2013's color of the year. Thanks to the roomy size and handy two-strap option (it also comes with a shoulder strap), this stunner is perfect for toting around all day, every day. What more convincing do you need?

We've been fans of the Coach Legacy Collection since it hit stores earlier this year — and now we have a reason to love it even more, thanks to the arrival of the new Legacy Duffle Kit. The Coach Legacy Duffle has wowed us with its versatility and how much it can hold — iPads, scarves, notebooks, and even gym clothes have made it into ours — and now customizing your Coach is as easy as switching out the shoulder strap. These cool kits come with colored tassels and straps, so you can swap them out to match the season or your outfit. With nine strap colors and 16 different types of Legacy duffles to choose from, the possibilities are almost endless. Which color combo is your favorite?
