Hello totally my style readers, today I am going to show you the hottest handbags right now. Some will be expensive while others will be considered a huge bargain. We all love pocketbooks, they carry any and everything you can think of. From leather to recycled materials, pocketbooks are essential in a wardrobe. A pocketbook can either advance or demote your outfit. I love pocketbooks. I have a huge collection (My fiancé thinks that I have too many). Many women (and some men too) have a bag for each day of the week.

In 2009, I believe that handbags will be a huge item this year especially environmentally conscious bags.  So today I am have bags for everyone.

You’d be surprised at how many trends were taken from the past and made popular again, take leggings for example. From Hollywood socialites Kim Kardashian to Lindsay Lohan, these ladies have helped put them back on the map. Now a familiar apparel is making its way back into mainstream status, which is none other buffalo plaid. This warm, woodsy print has become one the most sought after items for the fall season. Most people often associate plaid with hunters and the outdoors. That makes it impossible to be fashionable, right? Think again. Earlier this year, prominent designers Uniquo and Ralph Lauren created separate buffalo-plaid pieces for consumers. Ralph Lauren even showcased some of his designs at New York fashion week.

Another celebrity that’s shares a similar love for plaid is California native Lauren Conrad, from MTV’s The Hills.A shirt like the one above can be purchased at dELiAs for $34.50.The Elisa Buffalo Plaid Shirt is available in colors purple, teal, and grey, sizes include: S, M, L and XL.

Clutches have been the hot bad to have this year. When you’re used to bags with shoulder straps or roomy openings, it may seem like quite a leap to go from those to a small clutch. But with the wide varieties of clutches available, there is definitely a clutch for everyone.

Take this portfolio clutch from Kenneth Cole for example. Some people may assume clutches are nothing more than a fancy, open pocket to carry around. This one puts that rumor to rest with its interior zip pocket, cell phone pocket and slip-in pocket. And it’s a great deal at $159.98, marked down from $248!

And if you’re afraid of not getting agood hold on your clutch, consider one with small handles. This bright blue beauty from Forever21 is a steal at just $12.80.

Everyone has different qualities that they desire in a bag. Whether you need easy organization, bright colors, or a certain price range, there is truly a clutch for everyone!
