Bags that Rock! The perfect purses to take to a concert

I love going to concerts but I don't love schlepping a huge purse or having to hold something in my hands all night especially if I want to sip a cocktail or snap photos during the show. This Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Natasha Crossbody Flap Bag from Nordstrom is the perfect purse to take to a show. It costs $368 and the classic red color is striking and can add pop to any outfit.

Coach's Legacy Leather Penny Shoulder Purse is another ideal option to take to a show. It's $198 and a bag that's a great investment because it will never go out style.

It's the ultimate bag-uette!

Kate Spade's handbags are as addicting as bread. You can never have just one piece! Take a look at
Kate Spade's French Patisserie Bon Shopper. This $148 tote bag is available on Katespade.com and is the carry-all answer to fashion-loving carb cravers every where. I LOVE this bag and would truly enjoy toting around a nice loaf of French bread Lancome style!

Fantasy bag of the week: Gucci's USA GG Flag Collection Duffle Bag

There's nothing more iconic in the Gucci collection than Gucci's Boston bag. Now it's available in two patriotic prints paying homage to America and Italy's flags. Priced at $1,090, this form of patriotism doesn't come cheap, but it just may be the coolest flag bag ever designed. As a bonus, 25 percent of the retail price of these bags will be donated to UNICEF for "Schools for Africa" and "Schools for Asia" education initiatives from July 25 through December 31. It's also available in a smaller style without the shoulder strap for $895 and in a tote bag style, also priced at $895 and wallets priced at $495. Being an American with Italian heritage, it seems like I'd have to get both! Well...at least in my dreams. Regardless of your presidential preference this election year, it looks like this design will have the fashionista vote in the bag.

Louis Gone Wrong: Louis Vuitton's Jelly MM Bag

There aren't many bags Louis Vuitton releases that the girls of Kari Bagshaw aren't drooling over but we have to admit we're not digging Louis Vuitton's Jelly MM Bag. Made of patent leather, the bag has an inner Jacquard nylon pouch, which is removable. It comes in brown and pink but at $3,150, it just seems like this style isn't worth the astronomical cost. It's supposed to be modeled after a classic shopping bag, but we think it looks like a classic plastic milk crate. -Joanie Cox 

The Webster For Target Palm Straw tote in action at Mercedes-Benz Miami Fashion Week Swim!

I was saving The Webster For Target Palm Straw tote for a special occasion. Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim in Miami Beach seemed like a perfect place to show off my discounted designer find. The bag was large enough to hold ALL my essentials to get me through each day of fashion week. From my laptop and full-sized bottles of sun block to large sunglass cases, notebooks, make up bags and even additional shoes, this bag was a miracle of sorts that fulfilled all my handbag needs. It's still available on Target.com for just $19.98 now. In the men's section at my local Target, I even found the matching fedora and it was $5.98!
