30 New Bags to Add to Your Wish List This Season
'Tis the season for giving, but that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with keeping a little something in mind for yourself. And if that little something just happens to be a gold-striped Derek Lam camera bag in deep, dark burgandy or a Reed Krakoff anarchy bag in dreamy dove-gray leather with a shiny chain strap, then so be it. This is, after all, also the season of cheer — and what's more cheer-inducing than a fresh new clutch, satchel, or tote? Check out these 30 joyous options, right here.

All the Resort 2013 Ad Campaigns, So Far
After presenting the Resort 2013 collection at Versailles, it's only fitting that Chanel should expand on the theme with an ad campaign that channels the chateau's most famous resident: Marie Antoinette. Dressed in decadent layers of ruffled pastels and styled with the requisite courtesan makeup and big hair, Cara Delevingne plays the ill-fated queen with plenty of pomp and sass — and we think it all comes together quite nicely. Click through to see the entire Karl Lagerfeld-lensed campaign, plus all the recently released Resort ads — including Miu Miu's supermodel-packed outing — here, in our ever-growing campaign gallery.

The Season's Best New Crop
With classic trouser detailing, amped-up shapes, and jaunty above-the-ankle lengths, this season's wide-legged cropped pant might just be the most spirited way to experiment with fashion's new proportions. From Derek Lam to Max Mara, the Fall 2012 runways were teaming with the look, and judging by its prominence in the Resort 2013 collections (Carven, Alexander Wang) — not to mention its popularity among some of our favorite street-style regulars — it seems this pant is bound to stick around for a little while longer. Keep it chic by pairing yours with shrunken jackets and fitted knits — and don't forget the heels.

The Doctor Is It: Marni's New Resort 2013 Bag
Just in time for Resort 2013, Marni has introduced a classic doctor bag to its accessories lineup — and this one comes complete with a Holiday-ready twist: serious hardware in the form of gleaming jewel and metal appliqués. With its quirky geometric pattern and its structured, masculine silhouette, this bag strikes such a perfect balance between tough and sweet that it may just be the prescription for of-the-moment seasonal chic. Look for the bag ($2,610) in Marni boutiques now or on Marni.com later this month — or click through the slideshow for some of our favorite similar picks.

Watch: Balenciaga's Ethereal Resort 2013 Video
Nicolas Ghesquière's Resort 2013 campaign video for Balenciaga is just as graceful and poetic as the ballet-inspired clothes he created for the season. Director Steven Meisel asked models Caroline Brach Nielsen, Liya Kebede, Meghan Collison, and Liu Wen, among others, to walk through a dusty, rubble-filled set with Connan Mockasin's "Forever Dolphin Love" playing in the background. The rough setting underscores the tough femininity of the collection. A look at those pieces in motion here, in the video.
Shop It Now: Sylva & Cie Resort 2013
Old-world jewelry with modern appeal: that's the essence of Los Angeles-based line Sylva & Cie. Inspired by the asymmetry of nature and the glamour of vintage art deco jewelry, each piece features classic fine-jewelry materials — diamonds, rubies, sapphires — but is totally hand-hewn and one of a kind. "Our pieces are unequaled," says
designer Sylva Yepremian. "There isn't a company that produces jewelry the way we do."

Now, the brand's never-before-seen Resort 2013 limited-edition collection has just hit Moda Operandi. Made up of molten metals, diamond-rimmed rubies, pear-shaped sapphires, and — our favorite — smokey diamonds, each piece in the collection is like a mini work of art. See them all up close here and preorder them online now until Aug. 28.
