Working Girl

The end of summer is sad for so many reasons: No more ducking out early on Fridays, no more random jaunts to the beach, and not quite as much reason to have a frozen cocktail. At least there's one big plus to Autumn, and that's the clothing and accessories. This is the season that fashion magazines have been waiting for all year long, and it's where your wardrobe can really shine. 

The first things I buy every fall are usually a beautiful pair of boots, a coat and a handbag dressed in fabrics or leathers perfect for a chill in the air. This means darker colors (think jewel tones instead of vivid hues) and thicker fabrics (like tweeds, plaids and heavy-duty animal skins). 

Luckily, we are spotlighting our selection of gorgeous Fall must-have handbags this week. Although it's just as hard to get up for work in the morning, it's at least fun to carry a new bag to the office. We've separated our stock into easy-to-search categories so you can find exactly what you're looking for.
