The Bag to Have: Bally Leather Zip Pocket Slouch Bag
Pleated and folded handbags are popping up all over, and they're kicking the butts of structured purses. I predict this Bally Leather Zip Pocket Slouch Bag ($1,195), which also comes in nude, is going to be the next coveted accessory. Look at it; doesn't it scream the bag to have?

Trend Alert: Do the Pleat
I admit, I was growing quite weary of the current selection of Fall handbags, but my outlook changed when I laid eyes on cool pleated bags. There's something for everyone with styles ranging from tightly stitched clutches to more haphazard pleats. This fresh Diane von Furstenberg Studded Napa Bag ($595) awakened my handbag soul to a level unparalleled.
Trend Alert: Into the Fold
Time to get into the fold. Pleated, tucked, furrowed, whatever you want to call it, these gathered handbags will add depth to your look. The real beauty is you have options: tight, accordion-like folds have a rocker vibe while simple incisions stay crisp and clean.
Marchesa Enters Handbag Land
Marchesa is known for its ultraglamorous gowns, but the luxury house is about to be recognized for its equally stunning accessories. Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig have decided to enter handbag land for Spring '10. "We were frustrated because we couldn’t find [an evening] bag to fit it all," said Craig.
Fab Finger Discount: Report Boston Booties
Folds and pleats aren't restricted to handbags, you know. They've made their way onto Fall's gorgeous footwear, like this Report Boston Bootie ($92, originally $115), which comes in black and brown. I'm envisioning wearing the brown ones with light gray skinny jeans scrunched up, an oversize gray sweater, and layered jewelry.

Miu Miu Pleated Leather Satchel: Love It or Hate It?
Miu Miu has a slew of new handbags for Fall and this Miu Miu Pleated Leather Satchel, $1,590, is one of them. I am undecided about whether or not I dig the pleats-on-a-purse look. It can look very stiff, unlike pleats on clothing.
I Want This Wardrobe: The O.C., Season 3
Season Three of The O.C. was the pinnacle for the show. Marissa gets kicked out of school for her shooting incident from Season Two, she then eventually goes off the deep end and turns to drugs & alcohol and relations with bad boy, Volchok.
Trend Alert: Day Clutches
The clutch has been reborn (wahoo!). While I've preferred these little vintage-inspired handbags for years, they are the perfect bag for a dinner date, this Spring's offerings of handbags will be a battle of opposites. You'll have your dainty clutches and your biggie hold all shoulder bags.
Fendi Pleated B Bag: Love It or Hate It?
When it comes to super-luxe handbags, Fendi is a pro. One of its latest designs is this Pleated B Bag, made from gold suede and embellished with gold buckles, a chain handle, and logo clasps. I like the tiny, elegant pleats and the very subtle shade of the leather, but something about this bag looks sort of gaudy to me.
