On one hand, I can barely believe that we’re down to the last days of 2013. On the other hand, the screwy fashion calendar means that I’ve been writing “2014” for nearly six months, and I’m really looking forward to that not being usually incorrect.

10. The Many Bags of Nicole Richie
With an expansive handbag collection that includes oodles of Balenciaga Motorcycle Bags, we don’t blame you guys for going crazy for Nicole Richie’s bag collection. In fact, let’s revisit it now.

4. The Many Bags of Kate Moss
There are few people more synonymous with modern fashion than Kate Moss, and this tour through her handbag collection spans every cool-girl bag you can imagine. (Hint: there’s lots of black.)

2. The Many Bags of Hilary Duff
Of all our top 10 posts, I found Hilary Duff’s high spot on the list the most surprising. It’s not that she doesn’t have a hugely enviable bag collection – she totally does – but I wasn’t aware that so many people were interested in what this young mom wears. I stand corrected!
