So the other day, I went to grab my reliable old black handbag that I’ve had since before MTV forgot what the M in their name stands for, when the handle ripped right off. I had no choice but to scour the streets of Philly looking for that perfect handbag that can hold everything from flip flops to the Twilight books that have become my guilty pleasure this summer. With no luck on the Philly streets, I quickly turned to online shopping, and there I found my latest obsession. The purses at Alexandra Miranda, are both cute, functional, and they come in a wide range of colors and sizes. Here are a few of my favorites.

This bag, affectionately called the "24 hours in NYC bag", or, as I call it, "the everything bag." It has multiple pockets great for stashing all your lip glosses, cell phones, books and anything else you may wanna take with you. The fact that the bag is also uber stylish, makes it the perfect piece of arm candy.

Price: $250.00
 

This big and bold necklace is an accessory that stands alone. Pair with anything from jeans and a T-shirt to a ball gown and you will have an instant conversation starter.

Price: $85.00

Finally I have found the perfect replacement for my old bag. The Francesca bag is so adorable with its bold gold chain and matching custom made tassel, it instantly dresses up any outfit.
