Sometimes we all need to let loose! There are days that I wake up and feel a little “edgier” than usual. My solution to this desire (of course)… is through my handbag. What do I mean? Handbags with studs, chains and leather.

This Valentino Maison Studded Satchel (Far left) will do the trick. It’s available in Black calfskin with allover golden accents. It has just enough edge, but not too much that it has you looking like Joan Jett. Its sells for $2495 and is available at my fave store Saks.

The Chloe Paddington bag (Center) is an awesome blend of sophistication and rocker chic. I love the pad lock that has become Chloe’s signature look. There are two buckles on either side of the bag. It’s available in two colors Bleu Nuit aka Charcoal and Elephant aka Golden Brown. It sells for $840 and is available at Neiman Marcus.

This Burberry Knight Bag (Far right) is my favorite of the three. Although it weighs “a–ton” who cares... we’re talking fashion here ladies! I love it! It has polished nickel square studs that cover the whole bag with bits of black leather showing thru. There are lots of compartments in this bag. It sells for $2995 and is available at Burberry.
