\nThe Valentino Rockstud Dome Satchel<\/a> is the perfect example of a handbag that is a classic, yet attention-grabbing and utterly chic piece, all in one. Its neutral hue is paired with tons of glittering gold pyramid studs that adds a funky rock and roll edge. \u00a0Additional features include two top handles, detachable studded skinny shoulder strap, and lined interior with zip and open pockets.<\/p>\n

\nLeopard has been one of the hautest trends for several seasons, which is why the Be&D Rowan Animal-Print Satchel was one of our favorite bags of 2011. This chic satchel features a structured silhouette which gives it a slightly utilitarian look. The animal print bag is versatile enough to be paired with virtually anything.<\/p>\n

\nMeredith Wendell<\/a> is known for its resort-inspired accessories<\/a> that mix bright colors with sporty, American style, and luxe details such as silk rope, stained glass and colored python. On this bucket bag, we loved the colorblock<\/a> combination of indigo canvas, blue leather and red patent leather that surprisingly complement each other. Additional features include a detachable shoulder strap, fully lined interior with three compartments and a zipper pocket.<\/p>\n

\nWe spotted Rihanna<\/a> carrying a Vlieger & Vandam Guardian Angel Clutch<\/a>, and have been a fan of these super cute clutches ever since! The collection is full of bags that are just a bit badass. Available in yellow, tan, green and blue, the Angel Clutch features a suede-embossed front with a raised gun impression, and leather on the back with a top zip closure, exterior and interior pockets and a detachable metal shoulder strap.<\/p>\nGet more What’s Haute<\/a> – Follow us on Twitter<\/a> and ‘Like’ us on Facebook<\/a>!<\/em><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
