Valentino - Histoire Patent Tote - Purple

First to recommend

Description

It comes as no surprise that Valentino has dived deep into the purple trend. The patent Histoire Tote is surprisingly classic, considering its bold color.

*Fashion update - Serena van der Woodsen took my style advice and is carrying this fantastic bag on Season Two of Gossip Girl.

Roberto Cavalli Jeweled Bow Clutch

First to recommend

Description

I think sometimes we have a fear of color when it comes to an evening look - for instance, if the dress isn't black, the remaining accessories must be black or neutral. Wrong! Purple is glorious, and this clutch will work with any colors from neutrals to navy, black or metallics. This will definitely be an "it" bag for fall.

Robert Rodriguez Racer Back Ruffle Tank

First to recommend

Description

This color is divine - so rich and vibrant, a truly beautiful top, with ruffles and frills to delight any girl.

Nina Garcia just love THE BLOUSE. With ruffles, lace or a bow, it's the perfect piece to complement the fall wardrobe. It'll frame the face and add some femininity to your tailored looks.

As beautiful from the back as it is from the front, this soft purple blouse is absolutely lovely. When it comes to feminine fashion, Rebecca Taylor consistently shines.

Chloé Bay Leather Bag

First to recommend

Description

Chloé's Bay Leather Bag is a modern classic. This fall, trade in your basic black bag for something violet. This works well with the still-fabulous color block trend and will avoid a too-black look we may dangerously encounter in colder months.

Alice + Olivia Pleated Bustier

First to recommend

Description

I absolutely must have this bandeau top. I just love wearing strapless blouses over pants for an evening look in the winter and this pleated bustier is flattering (note the sweetheart neckline) and so regal.
