Handbags. Don't we all love them?

You could be wearing the hippest and most trendy items of the season, but without a well-thought-out handbag to accessorize, the outfit just isn't complete.

You could choose to match the color of your bag to your outfit as a safe bet. But what if you are wearing monochromatic tones? Are you going to pick a bag from the same corners of the color palette? How boring is that?

Boring is a word that should never appear in a fashionista's dictionary.

Bold colors have been spotted on runways this season. As with every fashion collection, some of the items are too outrageous and dazzling for everyday wear. But adding a few nice, bold-colored handbags to your wardrobe isn't a bad idea.

You can play mix-and-match with your clothes or make the colors pop by wearing them with blacks and whites (as the stars do below). Best of all, they will make you stand out from the crowd, in a good way of course, in this chilly season where (for the strangest reason) almost everyone opts for boring tones.
