Be it her shoes, her clothes, or even a tiny accessory, I don’t think Sarah Jessica Parker ever leaves the house without at least a smidge of a brightly-colored hue on her person.

Her candid snapshots from today are exactly what I’m talking about – SJP was seen leaving her New York pad and heading into a building where her “Sex and the City” co-star Cynthia Nixon arrived soon after:

Sarah Jessica Parker is wearing just a simple tank top and her favorite corduroy jeans, but being the stylista that she is, she just can’t help but put on a big floppy hat, throw on a leopard print scarf, and carry a big purple suede bag. This bag on SJP was also seen just yesterday, sprucing up Sarah Jessica’s grey hoodie, sand-colored boots, and the corduroy jeans that she loves so much:

SJP’s bag is the Halston Heritage Slouchy Ultrasuede Sac Bag which retails for $295 at Net-A-Porter.com:

If you want a different color other than this bright purple shade, here are other Halston Heritage sack bags to choose from:

These bone and tie-dyed Halston Heritage bags can be purchased through Shopbop.com.

Also, the crossbody bag (worn as a shoulder bag) Kim K.’s using to carry her stuff in these pictures is now available on Shopbop.com:

There’s also a less expensive suede version, although it doesn’t really cost that much less:

As for Tim Gunn’s alleged “attack” on the Kardashians, his exact words were that although their fashion has a certain sexiness to it, he finds it “largely vulgar” and that it has a “cheapness and a tawdriness”.

You can see where Tim Gunn is coming from, being that he is a respected fashion consultant, an esteemed faculty member at Parson’s, and not to mention a much loved TV personality as a mentor to young designers on Project Runway. However, he can’t discount the fact that there is a huge hype and media interest surrounding the 3 raven-haired Kardashians. Tim Gunn may not agree with the Kardashian sisters’ taste in fashion, but it’s clearly not a requirement in becoming famous anymore.

Do you agree with Tim Gunn or do you like Kourtney, Kim and Khloe’s taste in clothes? Personally, I don’t see any reason to single out the Kardashian sisters because pretty much every starlet in Hollywood dresses the same way they do.

The extra options give us more to play on, not to mention allow us to plan more outfits around on.

Inspired by last week’s post on the Lucky Brand Patch Abbey Road Bag, we went looking for more bags that give bang for our buck. Here are 5 crossbody bags that turn into totes and more:

High Fashion Handbags Medium Fold Over Cross Body

The 3″ double metal handles are what sold us on this bag. This is also available in black and ivory (both gorgeous), but the fuchsia pink is the only one with a pebbled leather finish. $186.00 on eBags.com.

Fossil Harper Foldover Tote

Fossil created a winner with this tote when they put contrasting fabric prints on the handles and the bag’s main body. The light and dark floral prints are equally beautiful, but this neutral multi print will be easier to mix and match with. $108.00 on eBags.com.

Joe’s Handbags Denise Fold Over Crossbody

Another crossbody tote in a great pattern, this bag also has a contrasting plain-handle-and-printed-body design. The extra thick foldout handles keep the bag in proportion when used as a tote, and extra long width doesn’t look awkward when it’s folded over as a crossbody bag. Now 33% off, $149.99 at eBags.com.

The Sak Handbags Solana Crossbody

If you’re the kind of person who likes using only one bag for each day, then we suggest going for this one. Its classic design is good enough for everyday, but the sleek black leather, gold hardware, and sassy silhouette will still win over the stylish crowd. Now $125.84 at Zappos.com.

Foley + Corinna Disco City Bag

This is actually a mini version of a different Foley + Corinna bag, but based on the model, it looks like it’s just the right size. It gives the appearance of a big clutch when folded over and worn as a crossbody bag, but it’s still roomy enough as a tote. The rolled handles and the super soft pebbled leather make this bag so lovable. $198.00 at Shopbop.com.
