With the brilliant colors of the season, there is no doubt I have my eye on a handbag or two (or five). Scrumptious textures. Functional shapes. And various sizes and structure. What to choose?

When selecting a handbag, scale should be the underlying factor. Too large — your bag takes you over. Too small — visual balance is completely thrown off. Get the scale right, then it's all about love.

In fact, the right handbag finds you. Much like choosing a puppy!

Handbags clockwise: Gucci, Proenza Schouler, Celine, McQ Alexander McQueen, Reed Krakoff

This is one of those pieces that will get people talking. For hours.

This gemstone three sided pyramid cuff by Eddie Borgo deserves a major shout out. It's different enough, as a cuff, to get my attention. The hardware is tough, yet the gemstone is feminine — what an amazing combination. I can't think of a single outfit it wouldn't go with.

Casual to formal — here's your cuff.

Prada, dahling, don't tease me like this. I see these nifty sunglasses in your SS12 runway show, in addition to your site. Then again in, what I believe is, the Nordstrom catalog. Yet, I cannot find them for purchase anywhere. How cruel!

Where, oh where, have you put all of your Deluxe sunglasses for spring? The agony is too much to bare.

So, please put me out of my misery.

Really, what is there to say? Other than this extraordinarily stupendous Celine handbag needs to be mine. Yet, it's impossible to find. The structure and versatility of this shape is so beyond phenomenal. And don't get me started on the colors (read: year round goodness). Sigh.
