The perfect cold weather handbag has to be the Juicy Couture Narda Houndstooth Tote ($550) in Winter White.

Completely stylish and practical (PDA and cell phone pockets, anyone?), this handbag is definitely on my Christmas list. [buy it]

The adorable Botkier Yellow Lita Clutch ($225) is made from ruched golden colored satin with a contrasting leather trim.

The Knox Lost Messenger Bag ($510) is a super chic handbag that has made its way to the top of my Christmas wishlist this year.

First you see the rectangular design, then a crescent moon shaped pocket and finally the charming brass zipper pulls which take the form of triangles - genius. [buy it]

The Botkier Sasha Burgundy Nylon Duffebag ($450) is functionally fashionable and exquisitely detailed.
