Handbag Trends for Fall 2008 under $100

Every woman knows that a fabulous handbag makes and instant impression and can turn an ordinary outfit into something pretty special. If you've dusted off your last season fall bags and haven't see something that fits into one of these categories.. think about sprucing up your handbag collection with one of these beauties.

1. Go Grey- This smokey hue is well fitted for the cooler months ahead, and the quilted Hollywood bag by Big Buddha in this elegant shade would be a super chic addition to your fall wardrobe. With its minimal golden hardware the Hollywood bag works wonderfully for a luxe day bag and then transitions smoothly into an evening bag making your day simple and fashionable. Big Buddha Hollywood Quilted Tote $85 (also available in black)

2. Structured Bags- I have definitely seen bulky bags taking a backseat this season to more sleek and structured shapes. Styles like these ladylike frame bags from Urban Expressions still allow a lot of room and function, only in a way that is more defined and easy to carry. Just because these styles are polished doesn't mean you have to save them for special occaisions. What makes these styles feel fresh is how fashion forward ladies are incorporating them into their casual wardrobes too. Urban Expression Black Kate structured bag $81 and Purple Faux Alligator Frame Bag $88

3. Convertible- The girl on the go knows she needs her bag to muli-task. This Fall look for bags like the Starlet clutch from Big Buddha with extra straps, pockets and hands free features. Whether your a working woman or a supermom function has never been more fashionable. Starlett clutch $65 available in red or black patent .
