Foley + Corinna Small Convertible Leather Tote, $198, saksfifthavenue.com
Handbags are my true weakness. Okay, and shoes, and accessories, okay FASHION. But handbags, I love. To get more mileage out of a bag purchase, I’ve been looking to buy one of the fall’s convertible bags. You know, something that goes from shoulder to tote, or hobo to hip-slung with a quick switch of a strap. I love the color, texture and bohemian simplicity of the Kooba tied convertible hobo bag. And I feel like I could honestly carry this Foley + Corinna convertible small leather tote in red almost every day. It goes from shoulder to tote so flawlessly, and the scale is just adorable.

DKNY has designed a tee with a cause, which is called the “Chari-Tee.” DKNY’s Chari-Tee, is an interactive program between DKNY and those who love and wear it!
DKNY’s Chari-Tee retails for $65 and benefits a menu of NYC organizations. Each hangtag lists five NYC charities to which you can donate. Once you’ve decided on the organization, log on to dkny.com, and select your choice. DKNY will then donate a portion of the proceeds from the sale of your Chari-tee. It’s a fun, cool way to send instant love to NYC!
In addition to the Chari-tee, DKNY has produced eight different “eco-friendly printed” totes featuring artwork of eight NYC students, created for the CITYarts “portraits of peace” initiative There are 5 of each style – 40 unique bags in total. The totes were printed using an eco-friendly digital printing process. The resulting water-based design is printed without screens or films utilizing less ink with no excess ink waste.
The totes are only $25 each, with all proceeds going back to CITYarts. The totes will only be available at the DKNY store on Madison Avenue.

I’m dreaming in yellows and purples…oh and faux snake skin…
These are ever so cute and oh so gatsby!
Green is mean, but great for fall 2009
What I love about fall fashions this year, is that our spring and summer trends are flowing quite nicely into fall. Our main trend this whole year has been color, lots and lots of it! From dresses, scarves and tops. All of which have been quite strangely unique in this fashion. But the beloved handbag has not fallen behind! If you watched my television segment on TV Guide this march, you would have seen an array of colorful fashion centered around my chosen designers. Whether you love color or hate it, you can’t escape it! And if you want to add something colorful, but are shy to wear it. Then your accessories come next in line. Inge Christopher has a lovely collection of bright and colorful handbags for fall 2009. From brights, to embossed leather, they’re the perfect day to night bags. Prices range from $150-250 from the collection.
