I’m a big believer that words about fashion can be important (since that, after all, is my purpose here), I know what everyone really shows up for: photos. Fashion’s a visual medium, after all, and we’re lucky that we have a talented photographer like Vlad to help us capture unique, striking images of new collections, our personal bags and the favorite pieces of industry insiders whose style we admire. Below, check out our favorite handbag photographs of 2013. Here’s to a new year full of even more beautiful images!

When Megs and I sat down a couple of weeks ago to discuss what we’d be covering for the end of the year, we knew we wanted to do a post about the most important bags of 2013. (And we did do that!) What became obvious as soon as we began assembling the list of bags, though, was that we’re in a bit of an It Bag power vacuum at the moment.
Celebs and Their Celine Luggage Totes: A Retrospective, Part Two

The Biggest Bags of 2013

The 10 Best Celebrity Bag Moments of Fall 2013
We watch what celebs are wearing and carrying through every season, but Fall 2013 seemed to bring a swift return to form for celeb fashionistas, after a breezy, carefree summer of neon satchels and floral bucket bags.

Everyone has their own strategies for surviving the grey days of winter with their glamour intact. Some people take the opportunity to stock up on cashmere, others embrace lipcolor in shades of crimson and wine to provide a little bit of drama. Our personal favorite avenue, though, is to add a dose of shine to our accessories. Right now, that means trying to choose between all of Gucci’s metallic handbags, shoes and accessories.

However, Christmas is on our doorstep and I have a wish list that would make both Santa and my loved ones absolutely cringe.
