Recommended by jamiem on Jul 23, 2008

A classic black heeled sandal with a surprise zipper in the back? I'm sold. I also like the idea of a zipper because you're far less likely to stretch out the shoe, as you slide in to a perfectly fitted Jimmy Choo.

It takes a real man to pull off a man bag, but I can guarantee that this Tumi bag is one of the best options around. So masculine and sleek, this black messenger will impress all of the ladies with your confidence and style.

Recommended by jamiem on Jul 22, 2008

It's never too early to start looking forward to fall - and especially for handbags. Hot bags fly off the shelves within days and you don't want to miss a beat - especially when Lanvin is concerned. This lovely leather Partage Sac is large enough to carry your everyday staples, without being overwhelmingly huge. I love the bow woven into the chain strap - and did I mention the straps easily extend to a shoulder strap?

I love this Be&D Roadster Hobo. The leather is vibrant and soft and you have a choice of "Blair Waldorf" orange, chocolate brown, red, or washed champagne. The real selling factor for me is that the bag can be worn three different ways: a soft satchel, a long slouchy bag, or as a sling across the body. Go figure, a bag as versatile as its owner! Love it.

Serena van der Woodsen often turns to her Botkier Stevie Hobo when she's out about town. I love the red tone, as it's not a handbag color you see everyday. The best part is, even though Serena might be the trendsetter, this Botkier bag is now on sale for the rest of us to follow in suit.
