Enter the Avelle 5th Anniversary Giveaway!

As I mentioned yesterday, CF is partnering with nine other top fashion blogs in a promotion sponsored by Avelle to talk about our favorite designer handbags and do a $250 giftcard giveaway in celebration of Avelle’s 5th Anniversary!
Since many of you responded a few weeks ago that you are against designer knockoffs, Avelle is the perfect solution if you’re on a budget but still want to carry a real designer bag. You can rent most bags by the week for a reasonable fee and return the bag when you’re done. Even better, a portion of your rental fees go toward buying the bag should you want to keep it in the future.
If you want to try Avelle out for yourself, I’m giving away a $250 gift certificate to one lucky reader! For all the contest details, keep reading.
My Favorite Designer Bags
Before we get to the contest, I thought I’d feature some amazing bags here. If I were renting from Avelle, here are the 9 designer bags I’d most want to borrow!

1. Balenciaga Arena City Handbag – I’m unhealthily obsessed with Balenciaga bags. While I don’t own one yet, I plan to someday buy myself a pink City bag similar to the one pictured above! Balenciaga is a brand whose handbags are known for their buttery soft leather, unique hardware, and investment-bag status. Renting this bag might tide me over until I get a real City bag of my own.
2. Burberry Leather Hobo with Spikes – How badass is this Burberry bag? I’m obsessed with it! I know it’s hard to see because the picture is so small, but it’s a leather bag covered in studs, which I LOVE right now. The bag is pretty and shiny with just the right amount of bad girl edge. This is probably the number one bag I would rent from Avelle if given the chance!
3. Cynthia Rowley ‘Angie’ Tote – I really love the color of this one, and I think it would be perfect for spring. The girly design reminds me of flower petals, and the size is just right – not too big, not too small.
4. YSL ‘Muse’ Handbag – A total classic in chic patent leather. Do I even need to explain why I love this one? Okay, I’ll make it quick – the YSL Muse would go with everything, would hold all my essentials, and would make me extremely blissfully happy in the process.
5. Jimmy Choo ‘Ramona’ Patent Ring Handbag – I love Jimmy Choo bags, and this style is one of my favorites. White bags are perfect for spring, and the Ramona is simply flawless. The patent leather is a fun material choice, and the gold hardware helps set it off. I also love the lace-up detail at the top of the bag – so cute!
6. Valentino Side Bow Duffel – This one is the epitome of girly – isn’t it so Gossip Girl? The black patent leather makes it basic enough to take everywhere, but the pretty bow detail brings it from everyday to special-occasion status.
7. BE & D Garbo Satchel Handbag – I love the color of this bag as well, but I really chose it because it’s covered in studs! You know how obsessed I am with studs. This bag definitely wouldn’t be something I’d wear every day but could be so fun with the right outfit.
8. Felix Rey ‘Emma’ Tote – Again with the studs. Notice a pattern here? Avelle’s description of this bag is the best: “Ideal for prom queens who like to date bad boys.”
9. Mulberry ‘Roxanne’ Tote – I had to include this one because it’s one of the only hot pink bags Avelle carries. Since pink is my favorite color, I’m all for pink bags. I think this one would be great for everyday – it would hold all my notebooks for class and probably even my Macbook while adding a pop of color to any outfit.

I absolutely love this mustard color on bags!
Deanna
http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/Isabella-Fiore/Isabella-Fiore-Blossom-Hobo-Handbag/15239/18/51
This is definitely my choice! I’m trying to change my ways, and be a little more daring with my choice in handbags. I usually go with a basic black patent leather bag, and each time I would go shopping for a new one, I’d fall into the same rut!
The bag I chose is a drastic change for me because of it’s bright pop of color; something I would always shy away from. It’s also got a bohemian feel to it, and I absolutely love anything boho. I feel like it’s really “me,” and I’m trying to incorporate that into my wardrobe a lot more this spring.
Overall, I think it’s great, but the one thing that I would change is the straps. I’ve never worn a bag with straps so thin, and I’d probably prefer them a little thicker. Possibly even a rope-like strap for this type of bag?
Mandy
Oh, that Balenciaga bag has been calling my name since like september of last year.
I love the hardware, but I think I want it in black.

Judy
http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/kate-spade/kate-spade-Cozumel-Oval-Basket-Handbag/13738/18/3833
This cute little basket is just perfect for those spring/summer picnics! It’s a simple and fun little accessory, not gaudy at all. Matched with a summer dress and a straw hat, any girl would be the center of attention!
PavRav
http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/Miu-Miu/Miu-Miu-Small-Matelasse-Top-Handle-Tote/14128/3060/1771
I love this Miu-Miu! It’s different but also my favorite shade of purple. The style is what appealed to me most. It’s not a typical design and probably won’t be seen very often. But that’s just my style.
Jessi Kaylin
This Perlina ‘Dreamweaver’ Satchel Handbag is perfect for wearing when going shopping at the malls by the beach. It’s got a cool summer vibe due to its ice blue color. It’s simple yet has the eye-catching quality to it. I love it!!! :)

Rose
http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/Dooney-&-Bourke/Dooney-&-Bourke-Hayden-Handbag/14568/3122/983911
Who could go wrong with this bag. It’s purple, big, and patent. The fact that it’s a Dooney and Bourke bag just adds to the charm. The first designer bag I ever owned was a Dooney. It still is in great shape today, and people still complement me on how nice it looks. This bag is honestly the epitome of what a perfect bag is to me.
Andrea
I will have to go with this Tory Burch T satchel. Perfect buttery tan color and a great size to hold all of the random junk that I tote around. The leather looks divinely soft!
http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/Tory-Burch/Tory-Burch-T-Satchel/10601/46/2029#
Plus, brown and tan are my go-to neutrals so this would compliment almost every outfit I have.
Emily
http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/kate-spade/kate-spade-Ipswich-Constantine-Clutch/14863/18/51
I really love clutches right now. They’re so much easier than lugging around one of my huge totes. And the nautical look puts me in the mood for summer!
Alesha
http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/product/10157/Handbag/Valentino/Valentino-Patent-Bow-Tote/&ssid=76270
First off I love this bag because I have a thing for bows. I just fell in love with the big bow on the side. This bag is the perfect size and I’ve been searching for a black patent purse for the longest time.
ciara
http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/product/14442/Handbag/Versace/Versace-Medium-Patent-Leather-Satchel-Handbag/1#
I pretty much just fell in love with this Versace satchel. I been looking for a white bag for spring since forever and i just love how it has the metal embelishments, which adds like an edgy look. Its definetly my style and if I had an extra $3,920 laying around, I would buy it in a heart beat.
LInda
http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/Louis-Vuitton/Louis-Vuitton-Limited-Edition-Speedy-Roses–Handbag/16536/18/51
I absolutely love this Louis Vuitton purse. It’s different than any other purse I own. I usually stick to just plain colours, nothing too fancy, but when I saw this I fell in love.
I’m a university student so I need a purse that is trendy yet practical. It needs to be able to carry a couple school books, maybe my laptop, etc. So I thought this purse was perfect. It has a nice shape that can fit books/laptop but it’s so adorable.
Definitely the perfect bag to add a little spice to my wardrobe.
Caitlyn
http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/Kooba/Kooba-Talia-Satchel-Handbag/14871/46/388
This Kooba satchel is absolutely perfect for spring! It would go well with sundresses of almost any color or style, skirts, shorts, sunglasses, chunky jewelry, you name it! The color just screams fun and cute for spring!!
The Satchel even has pockets and a place to slide your cell phone, which is always handy when it comes to bags. Besides, the hobo style is chic, cute, and totally in. It’s different than a typical designer knock-off you see daily or your plain ol’ black or white handbag. This one may not be quite as versatile, but it can be dressed up or down. It would be a cute touch to my wardrobe this season!
Andee
http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/product/13349/Handbag/Gucci/Gucci-%27Hysteria%27-Top-Handle-Handbag/&ssid=51
Awesome bag. Big and bright but only three colors that would go with a ton of outfits. Perfect for carrying all those books and notebooks to class. And Gucci…it couldn’t get better
=)

i love this bag. i’m really into vintage things and the colors on this bag just pop. it’s so artsy! it’s got kinda a 60’s mod feel to it also.
Elaine
http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/product/11630/Handbag/Andrew-Marc/Andrew-Marc-Cargo-%27Collette%27-Parachute-Handbag/1
This is a nice sized purse. It is also very stylish, and can go with most my outfits because it is so bold.
Ali

I loveeee this bag. I’m in love with the Snap-top closure and the gold colored chain. Soooo cute!
I had trouble choosing just one! Purses are a girls best friend! =] (in addition to shoes and of course, diamonds)

I love the gucci hystria bag cause its chick stylish and its big to carry a lot of stuff. I first saw this on Gossip Girl and how she wore it showed you can wear it with jeans an it has a little rock and roll egge. I soo love this bag and plus its black the basic color
ashley
http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/ui/details?productId=15072
i did the search for your perfect bag, and this was one of the first options that came up — i love the lose hobo shape (which seems to influence most of my bag choices) and the fun yellow is perfect for spring/summer! although, i also love this one: http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/ui/details?productId=15843
yum. that mint green just screams spring to me!
Katie
http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/Prada/Prada-Cervo-Antik-Bowler-Handbag/14540/18/265270
I am in LOVE with purple lately! I have lots of purple accents, purple tights, shoes, and scarves, but no purple bag! This one is perfect, because I love the color and it is a good, medium size.
Lulu
http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/Tory-Burch/Tory-Burch-Rattan-Clutch/10053/42/122
I love the organic feel of this clutch – great for spring!
Emma
http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/Betsey-Johnson/Betsey-Johnson-Cherokee-Rose-Bucket-Handbag/12402/46/42
There were so many bags on the website that I could see myself carrying and loving, but this one just had something special. It’s not a “typical” designer handbag (which are also great, I have a black Prada that I love); it’s got a unique vibe and wouldn’t seem overdressed for school or underdressed for a night out. Perfect for summer! :)
Raha
Would like to take BE & D Kan Kan Tote for a spin

Absolutely love Kate Spade. *sigh* This site is actually a great idea and I’m excited you’re featuring them!
Anna
My favorite would have to be the Isabella Fiore “Chain Attraction” Desta Satchel Handbag. It’s basically a go-anywhere bag – appropriate for work, shopping, even a night out! And since I’ll be running around a ton this summer with two fashion internships, it would be perfect. Also, it’s purple, which is one of my fav colors of the moment!

http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/Chanel/Chanel-Small-Quilted-Tote-Bag/14428/50/2371
I love the quilted Chanel Cambon totes and this is an even better hobo-esque version. The muted purple is perfect for spring/summer and everyone around me knows I loveee purple :)
Leia
I would borrow this Chanel handbag (http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/Chanel/Chanel-Large-Tote/10062/18/51)
I absolutely love Chanel. This bag is big enough to carry my notebooks in – so great for college students – yet classic and sophisticated enough for me to wear for years, if it were my own! It goes with everyone, and is absolutely beautiful.
DOMINIQUE
http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/Louis-Vuitton/Louis-Vuitton-Limited-Edition-Speedy-Graffiti–Handbag/16534/18/68#
I LOVVEE THIS BAG!!! IT CAN DO NO WRONG IN MY EYES..I CAN WEAR IT WITH ANY AND EVERYTHING!!!! LV ROCKS!!!!
Chandra
http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/Carla-Mancini/Carla-Mancini-Handbag/15276/18/51
I love this beautiful bag by Carla Mancini. It is just perfect for carrying around all my paperwork from my job and then can easily transition to toting around my little laptop and note book for class. All this without sacrificing an ounce of fashion, as it still make a statement as a piece in my everyday wardrobe. ( Plus i adore the defined yet slouchy structure to the bag ) How can you not love something that combines practicality and fashion so beautifully?
Chelsey
http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/Juicy-Couture/Juicy-Couture-Mod-Baby-Fluffy-Handbag/9510/18/267#
I love this Juicy Couture handbag! My favorite purses have this shine to it. The material is perfect. I also love the style of the bag, its black so it will always be wearable, and the hints of gold along with the side pockets keep it young and fresh, perfect for someone my age (late teens – early twenties)
Anny
http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/Burberry/Burberry-Haymarket-Tote/13166/18/1800
I love this Burberry bag, because it looks convenient to carry and lightweight. Plus I love Burberry!
Danielle S.
http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/product/9932/Handbag/Perlina/Perlina-%27Sideways%27-Large-Shopper-Handbag/&ssid=58
The Perlina “Sideways” large shopper would be perfect to carry around to school and work. It will be able to blend in with my wardrobe and seems durable.
Sarah Margs
http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/Badgley-Mischka/Badgley-Mischka-Cecilia-Medium-Shopper-Tote/14651/1944/1862
I am absolutely in love with this bag! The bright blue color just makes me feel happy, and it’s just big enough to hold my essentials without overwhelming my small frame. It would also be soooooooooooo nice to be able to move away from my chunky backpack, and if I had this bag I would wean myself away from it.
k
Gucci ‘Aviatrix’ Medium Boston Handbag- It’s rusted gold accents give this black leather purse a classic look. The gold medallion that centers this piece gives it a chic vibe. It’s the perfect purse to accessorize any outfit on a Summer night out. It even has a pocket to hold a cellphone or a blackberry, which is every girl’s main accessory.
Margaret
http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/product/14539/Handbag/Prada/Prada-Cervo-Lux-Shoulder-Handbag/&ssid=1608#
This Prada bag isn’t too big or small, and is versatile black. I also like the chain handle, and how it seems to be glistening.
Lisandra
http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/Badgley-Mischka/Badgley-Mischka-Kara-Flat-Tote-/14649/3122/982164
This Badgley Mischka is just the right size. I love the color because it can be worn with many colors. The gold chain going across it, the tassle, and buckles add a lot to it.
Morgan
Easy!! Louis Vuitton Monogram Speedy 30!! I have been lusting over this bag for years, so classic, so timeless, and you know it’ll only get better with age. It is truly obscenely expensive though, so I don’t know if I could ever justify spending that much on a bag, even if my income were to increase exponentially. *sigh* I’ll just keep drooling through the glass at the Louis Vuitton store in the Copley Mall!

http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/Kooba/Kooba-Kellyn-Tote/14868/18/51
I like this one! The color is pretty, and it looks like it’s a good size. The design is not too elaborate, but still stylish!
Kristen
http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/Chanel/Chanel-Ligne-Cambon-Bucket-Handbag/7426/1729/3070
Chanel always makes such classic bags. They have clean lines that are flawless and bold. This bag looks versatile, but it still carries the elegance that is synonymous with Chanel.
A.M.
I love this Marc Jacobs bag
http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/Marc-Jacobs/Marc-Jacobs-Duffy-Violet-Handbag/13409/46/63757#
I remember seeing it in photos when it first came out and thinking, that’s never been done before! I love it when bags are unique like that
Elle
http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/Balenciaga/Balenciaga-Giant-City-Handbag/15528/18/2173#
Balenciaga is also my favourite designer for handbags. The edgey look of their city bags and the interesting hardware is what draws me towards it. I’ve also been looking for a great on the go, cross over style bag and this definitely speaks that. I would want it in either brown (as in the link) or purple (which is my fav. colour at the moment).
Jess
http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/Betsey-Johnson/Betsey-Johnson-Butterfly-Bling-Tote/12406/18/628
I love this bag. Betsey Johnson is my favorite designer. She is edgy and a feel of Rock n’ Roll. The reason I love this bag is the color. Pink is so hot and it has “faux snakeskin trim”.
I love wearing simple clothing and colorful big accessories. I love that this bag is just the right size to fit everything you need from make up bag to your cell phone.
Andrea
http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/Balenciaga/Balenciaga-Motorcycle-Handbag/13096/46/2574
I LOVE this bag. I love the soft red colour and the size is perfect for me.
Andrea
http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/Chloe/Chloe-Paddington-Satchel-Handbag/5828/18/2541
There is nothing more chic than a Chloe handbag. I love the look and feel of them and this is a bag I want to rent from Avelle in the future. It’s great for day or night and walking down any street it would turn heads of any handbag lover!
Ashley
I saw this bag and found absolutely adorable! It’s perfect for the summer with the bright coral like color and gold accents. Its hobo style is great as well (Im a big fan of Hobo style handbags!) And its a good size to put lots of stuff i may need throughout my days at the beach or parties or picnics!

I’m absolutely in love with the Stephen Sprouse Louis Vuitton collection, and this is a Monogram Roses Speedy, which is incredibly gorgeous, so how can it get any better than that?
Moran (The Running Addict)
I loved your ‘Muse’ pick! Very nice!
The Chanel Quilted Flap Handbag is my favourite though! It looks so practical….just for every day and for going out!

I really need a white bag and I love Kooba. I would borrow this one!

It took me awhile to decide, but ultimately I had to go with Chanel. I usually stick with black for handbags but I wanted to pick something different. The last time I went on Avelle I saw this Chanel bag and fell in love with it! I recently died my hair brown and I think the gold tone would go really well with my darker hair and light skin.
J-Emma
http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/Chanel/Chanel-Small-Tote-Handbag/8211/46/721
Ok who doesn’t drool over a Chanel bag. This one is simple and classic, basically everything the idea behind Chanel.
I just got these grey suede peeptoe booties that would look great with this bag!!! Oh man…now I need that certificate haha.

Love this one becouse of it’s originality and fun!

My favourite bag has to be Betsey Johnson’s ‘London Calling’ because as a Londoner myself I think this empitomises the cool quirky fun young atmoisphere of London. I also love the colour as its a neutral in a eye popping colour- genius! It also helps that I’m a Clash fan….

I’m always on the hunt for a new everyday bag that isn’t so ordinary. I’ve been obsessed with gold hardware on things and I love how the deep brown of this bag sets off all the gold zippers.
Emily
http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/Lamarthe/Lamarthe-Exception-Small-Tote/7155/18/51
I love this bag, the cool plum color is awesome because it can be used in a more professional setting for when I need it and can still fit with a pair of jeans. I like it because it isnt too outspoken, but definately has a statement :)
Hannah
http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/Isabella-Fiore/Isabella-Fiore-/%22Chain-Attraction/%22-Desta-Satchel-Handbag/13846/18/818
This is a gorgeous purple patent leather back from Isabella Fiore. The bag suits my personal style perfectly. I’ve never had a bag in that color before, and I think it’s perfect to brighten up for summer, or match with earthy tones for fall. Also, it a bag that I would actually be able to afford renting, so knowing that it’s within my reach makes me want it even more!
Madison Curry
http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/Chanel/Chanel-Small-Tote-Handbag/8211/46/721
I have been on the prowl for the perfect black handbag for awhile now. Doing this on a college student budget, Chanel is obviously not quite an option at this time. None the less, there is nothing better than a classic Chanel handbag and that is why it would be my number one choice.
mineola
Tylie Malibu Sahara Hobo Handbag in grey is for me- the perfect size, cross-body-able if you are traveling a long way or wish to be hands free & a lovely color with terrific texture- goes with everything. Sumptuous & a tad posh but not over the top. The grey Jaguar of purses. Yes! :D The only thing I might not like is what appears to be gold toned hardware.
Michelle
http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/Chanel/Chanel-Veau-Velours-Clutch/14078/1729/589
I absolutely love the Chanel clutch with the Union Jack on it. First of all, England is my favorite place to be because it’s full of eclectic people and style mixed with Old England. Secondly, the bag itself is so unique, but still timeless and elegant.
Charlotte
I really love this bag because it would be great if you lived in Hollywood. It just reminds me of something you would see on The Hills. With all those school papers and other class stuff you could keep tons of must have items in the big space the bag offers. The stylish grommets where the handle attaches to the bag is a very nice touch. I also love the crazy floral-like patten the bag has. It resembles something you would find in a one of a kind boutique. Take it to the beach or just a night out with the girls. I love it:)
Joyce Sage
Lamarthe Exception Small Tote
SKU# 7155
I really like this bag, it’s the perfect medium size & color. I think it would be a great bag for everyday use. I could take it to class or a night out with the girls. I could just hear it now, “What a great bag, where did you get that”? So nice, thanks for the link!
Bridget
http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/Louis-Vuitton/Louis-Vuitton-Mancrazy-Monogram-Jokes-Handbag/13512/18/294
The Louis Vuitton “Mancrazy” Monogram Jokes Handbag is simply amazing. It truly is a “converstion piece”, quite literally!
The limited edition bag designeed by Richard Prince is the traditional Louis Vuitton monogram, with burnt orange “paint” sprayed on that makes the leather look almost rustic.
The large bag (roughly the size of a Speedy) features snakeskin handles and the traditional tan lining and brass hardware.
However, the most amazing part of this bag is it’s jokes. On the front, there are two jokes printed on the left hand bottom side saying:
“Everytime I meet a girl who can cook like my Mother…She looks like my Father.”
and
“My wife went to the beauty shop and got a mud pack. For the next two days she looked beautiful; Then the mud fell off.”
This bag will MOST DEFINTELY guarantee smiles and possibly a few dates! :)
Diana
http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/Chloe/Chloe-Paddington-New-Shopper-Handbag/6186/46/681#
I love this Chloe bag! Chic and functional, the grey is a more interesting neutral that works for Spring. And the contrast stitching the subtle hardware adds some interest without being over the top.
Ariel

This is my DREAM bag! it is quintessentially the most perfect bag ever… it can be worn casually with some nice jeans and flats and you still look chic or can easily be dressed up for a night out. Who could ask for more?!
Chanel can do my wrong in my book.

I’m sorry, but i can’t help but to choose one you already posted! Originally, this prada bag caught my eye because its adorable and girly, yet sophistocated and structured:
http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/Prada/Prada-Patent-Bowler-Handbag/14548/3058/1586#
BUT I cannot take my eyes off of this one!!!
http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/BE-&-D/BE-&-D-Garbo-Satchel-Handbag/16212/1/415659#
this bag is totally rad and the studs are AMAZING. Even if taking your pick means I am disqualified, it’s totally worth ranting about how im love i am with this bag. It makes me want to sell everything I own so that i can buy it! It is the perfect size and the most beautiful color (and i dont even like blue, usually)!
Seriously, I am obsessed! Thanks so much for posting about Avelle!

mm i love that valentino side-bow bag the best :)

I love this Prada bag because it is very summery. The colors are beautiful and vibrant and the bag style is just too cute.

This bag is just amazing, the colour can go for either a night out with the girls, or even just as an every day tote. It’s big enough to carry everything you need, and looks awesome!
There’s nothing more a girl could want in a bag, than what this has to offer!

I am a total sucker for this bag. The color is so bright and playful, and the little roses are completely adorable. I just can’t help myself when it comes to those types of feminine details!

I love the detail! The braided handle interlocking gold and white…the buckles…it’s just so cute! Also, I love the color! White–simple yet elegant.
Valeria
Not only is this bag chic, but it is very settled, unlike bags such as Coach or Channel. Louis Vuitton bags don’t show off their logo, but it’s classiness is world-known yet refined. That’s why I would love to actually magnanimous bag, that is very difficult to obtain.

Zephyr girl, I 100% agree with the Balenciaga! Ideally I’d want the City in HOT pink, but I’d gladly settle for this gem, your number 1 pick!

I love this purse because it doesn’t hang too low and isn’t incredibly bulky, but still can hold the essentials; That and black goes with practically everything, and that’s especially helpful for me, since I wear primarily neutrals. Plus, when I wear red, my favorite color combo is red & black~ (no I’m not emo!)
Corinne
i love this prada bag. gray is my neutral color and it’s big enough to hold everything :)

I absolutely adore the Balenciaga Giant City bag. I love big bags, especially satchels, so this one fits the bill nicely. And those details!! I love a bit of a rock twist on accessories, it can help you punch up a simple outfits and give it more of an edge.
And in purple!! Purple is my favorite color, and the shade of the bags is absolutely perfect :-)
sally Fischer
You can’t go wrong with a Chloe. All the bags are classic pieces that can be matched with just about anything. With the trend of mix and matching neutrals, this bag would be a great everyday bag for a casual out or dressy outfit. Regardless, the Chloe would be the outfits centerpiece. LOVE IT

I really like the third and the sixth bag! xx

Love the color of this bag the most, beautiful dark teal. Love the rouched detail and gold accents. This is a little smaller than the huge bags I usually go for but I love the unique feel of this bag. Almost kind of retro.

Omg I love this bag by Alexander McQueen
http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/Alexander-McQueen/Alexander-McQueen-Elvie-Satchel/15511/46/17006#
the colour is just the right about of bling and it’s couture without being in-your-face. I hate when girls obsess over Chanel bags with the big CC logo just because it’s obvious that it’s couture (and quite possibly the only couture designer they can name :P) This design is big and shiney and perfect!! I could never afford it, but it’s fun to dream :)

http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/Chloe/Chloe-Paddington-New-Shopper-Handbag/6186/46/681
When it comes to bags I have a very specific taste and some very important rules. I need a bag that is neutral, roomy, slouchy and because I tend to lose things, it needs to close in some manner. I really liked how Avelle gave you different filters, that made it easier to find designers whose aesthetic I liked. My top three designers were Prada, Botkier and Chloé. I eventually found the perfect drool-worthy bag of my dreams: the Chloé Paddington New Shopper Bag. I’ve lusted over the Paddington forever, but this bag is absolute perfection. The dove gray color is perfect for Summer and Winter because it complements either season’s trends, whereas most bag colors are strictly one seasonal. The size is perfect for someone like me who can’t leave the house without taking her whole life with her. I could even fit my laptop in, if necessary. The bag is slouchy while still maintaining a good shape. I can’t imagine getting to carry a Chloé bag– especially a Paddington– for only $80… that’s insane!!

My fav is the kate spade Preston Hollow ‘Small Flower Pot’ Tote http://tinyurl.com/cwpl98 It is so springy and cute, I just drool over it. My current handbag is a white kate spade that I have had for several years now and I just love it. It has held up as a bag of that quality should. Thanks! thebubbledies(at)gmail(dot)com

http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/Fendi/Fendi-Pebbled-Leather-Spy-Handbag/11697/3060/801129
I know the Fendi Spy bag is not exactly the “it bag” anymore for celebrities, but I have never been able to get over my purse-crush. I love the way leather purses feel and imagining the texture of those handles makes me melt. Like you mentioned about neutrals in a previous blog post, I’ve always been a dark brown girl. My shoes have updated to rocker-black, but there is just something about dark brown leather purses that I think will always hold my fancy.
Katy M
I’d have to chose the Chanel Veau Ver Large Tote. The classic black patent quilted leather and edgy chain handles are just up my alley! I’ve been in love with this exact bag for a long time. I spied it at Nordstroms in an upscale area around town one day and simply fell in love. Plus it’s practical, right?…I could carry all of my books in it! Thanks so much for the awesome giveaway and Happy Birthday avelle!!! :)

it goes with every outfits and is perfect for any occasion:)

so, at first i had a mustard juicy couture bag in mind – a. because i am in love with this season’s mustard trend and b. because i love everything juicy. upon further searching on the site, i found the following bag..
http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/Betsey-Johnson/Betsey-Johnson-Bowdacious-Frame-Satchel-Handbag/15064/18/51
i fell in love with this bag! it’s a neutral so it will go with everything. it is very unique with the bow detail in the front. and finally, i love the twisted handles. i’m just a poor college student, so i’ve never owned a bag this pricey, but renting is extremely tempting!
Rochelle K
I looove the Chloe Small ‘Paddington’ Satchel Handbag. Besides the fact that its black and therefore goes with anything, its the perfect size and the shape is just perfect. I love the pebbled leather and the gold hardware and the padlock closure. Super cute and sexy too. Hope I win !
olla
The shiny Kooba black handbag. I could look fierce both at work and play.

The Botkier ‘Sasha’ convertible duffle/hobo handbag is pretty much what I’ve been dreaming of having in hand for my first day of law school…chocolate Italian leather: yummy!

If I had all the money in the world I would get the Chanel Vintage 2.55 Quilted Bag. It is classic and elegant. I would take it to a fabulous dinner on top of the Space Needle and dine in the stars. I would fill it with a vintage compact and red lipstick. :D

Oh WOW!! Your picks are to die for! I think I’d rent this delicious vintage bag.

Looks like a telephone? I’m in vintage love! With my fabulous white shift dress (totally 60’s)and the saddle shoes of my dreams (drat that college budget!), I’d traipse down the sidewalk, talking on a strangely large, yet still mobile, phone.
Oh the stares!

I’m usually a classic girl when it comes to purses…but I have to admit, I was crushing on this color as soon as I saw it! With the almost boho-look to it, it seems like it’d be great to run around with on a summer day. Plus, it’s unique in the clasp, and, while small, it looks like it’s got a lot of bang for the buck!

I would have to go for Chanel because I’ve been swooning for one ever since I can remember, but of course I’d never be able to afford one (at this point anyway). The style of this bag just blows me away, and I love the gray leather quilting and the bold CC symbol. Makes my panties a little wet.
With that said as soon as I got this I’d fill it with everything that I could possibly need to go out, including my tooth brush & Hello Kitty diary. I’d then stroll around the town in my hugeee sunglasses going into every store and maybe stopping for some tea and a chance to write in my diary about the day carrying my fabulous bag. Ah…I love the thought of bagborrowsteal!

I’d pick the Filippa Sweet ‘Cherokee’ Large Python Hobo Handbag as my first choice.
It’s really just the perfect bag for the warm weather that’s happening so suddenly in NYC right now. I’d throw it on with a sun dress and some heels and go for a walk in SoHo. Then I’d probably drop the classy act, stuff it with delicious snacks and go catch 17 Again. Yeah I said it. I’m a dork who thinks Zac Efron is hot. You wanna make somethin’ of it?! ;D

I’ve been lusting after the Louis Vuitton Monogram Satin Aumoniere Evening Handbag on the since 2006 (…when I was 16 and planning prom.. really). If I had this bag, I would dress like a princess everywhere.
http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/Louis-Vuitton/Louis-Vuitton-Monogram-Satin-Aumoniere-Evening-Handbag/7715/1/991344
and choice #2, more versatile, I think, is the Cynthia Rowley ‘Lena’ Handbag
in which I would stow my iphone & id card, and wear with ripped jeans, flowing skirts, minidresses, and everything else in my closet. This bag completely works with almost every item I own. I already have 1 Cynthia Rowley bag, but it’s much larger & very hard to use in the everyday (like a black hole for small lipglosses, my car keys, etc).

After a thorough survey of the entire Avelle site, I’ve decided that one of my favorite pieces is the Hermes Vintage Crocodile Birkin Handbag. I’m a sucker for classics, and the edgy take on a classic shape is just wild enough to take an outfit from boring to brilliant in one swoop! Another of my favorites is the Kate Spade ‘Bilbao’ Quinn Handbag. It is the perfect size for carrying essentials but will not impede posture due to the weight of the bag.
Stacy
http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/Balenciaga/Balenciaga-Giant-City%5C%22-Handbag/16075/1971/328

Nicolette
http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/Prada/Prada-Nappa-Ruffled-Hobo-Handbag/14537/18/51
Soft ruffles and a dark, subtle color perfectly balance out the Prada Nappa Ruffled Hobo Handbag. This bag looks so versatile: it can add a girly/ feminine or rocker-glam touch to anything. It also has only one strap, so there isn’t the fuss that comes with double-handled bags. Two straps sometimes bother me because only one strap will stay on my shoulder while the other constantly slips off. This bag is perfect, though, and won’t have that problem. This bag is a score for anyone who wants a stylish and versatile accessory.
(Sorry! The post above has my name as the link to the handbag. I just wanted to make sure that there was no confusion, so I’m posting this second one.)

OMG! I absolutely LOVE this Gustto Pavia Leather Hobo in Fusia Pink. It is so NOT me. I always say Im going to “TRY” to get out of my always using a black purse thing but then I get scared to try something new and bold, scared that it might not match with something, Lazy to change purses etc. This whole renting thing is an absolutely AWSOME idea, not only economical but lets you have a new purse every week or month. I can’t wait to start, maybe this will get me out of my old black purse phase Ive been in for my entire adult life now. Awsome purse.

So my favorite is: http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/Badgley-Mischka/Badgley-Mischka-Kara-Flat-Tote-/14649/18/3847#
For one, I have way too much stuff that I carry around so a tote is basically an essential for me. The neutral, yet feminine color ties into a lot of my wardrobe and I could probably carry it every day. I also love the contrast between the feminine colors and the chain and metal detailing.
Thanks for the opportunity. :)

The Chanel quilted tote–a classic that will stand the test of fashion time–which is why I love it.

I liKE #8 because it is both dressy and casual.

The Coach Signature Stripe Patchwork Shoulder Bag is to die for!

So for the last year I have resorted to putting the necessities (phone, slim wallet, keys, buss/train pass, and of course the emergency tampon) in my pockets. I know, I know, completely disgraceful really.
Thing is, I am a college student, a fashion-conscious college student who is torn between quality fashion and a stingy budget (dreadfully stingy budget). About a year ago I decided I could no longer stand my sad excuses for purses (cheap materials, average-looking design), so until I could afford a purse of artistic, designer quality, I decided to solely utilize my pockets.
Doing so has been slightly annoying since there is limited room, but it is motivating me to work work work, so that one day I can get my beautiful bag, fill it with whatever I want (including money!), and flaunt my hard work.
Until then…I will keep window/site “shopping” & I suppose I will also start to save up in order to borrow on Avelle!
I am surprised I picked a Kate Spade bag, I am not usually that big a fan of KS. I looked through many, many pages but KS kept catching my attention. I even almost put this YSL bag — http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/Yves-Saint-Laurent/Yves-Saint-Laurent-Rive-Gauche-Handbag-/13555/18/51–but switched back because this Kate Spade bag really does beat it out. Bet its the frugal-student in me.

I love the Betsey Johnson ‘Take a Bow’ N/S Frame Handbag! This would be a perfect bag for work. It is so cute and it would go well with much of my wardrobe. Thanks for the giveaway.

I love the Louis Vuitton Monogram Vernis Sunset Boulevard Evening Handbag. http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/Louis-Vuitton/Louis-Vuitton-Monogram-Vernis-Sunset-Boulevard-Evening-Handbag/13507/43/131
I think it is gorgeous and I’d look great carrying it for a night out with my hubby!

I liked the Kate Spade Tarrytown ‘Quinn’ tote
Paula Harmon
I want to tote around the MICHAEL Michael Kors ‘Astor’ N/S Tote. However, I wouldn’t mind any of these bags, that is for sure.

My favorite is the Valentino Histoire Pearlized Tote. It narrowly edged out the Patent tote because (with three kids) I don’t need the stress of keeping it ‘real’ – a.k.a. clean! ;)

I would steal Elliott Lucca ‘Catina’ Tote.

Bold and bright color, unique design, you can wear it with casual summer brights or evening attire or with anything….what’s not to love?
And it’s Fendi :)

I absolutely love the metalic stripes on this bag! It seems similar to zebra stripes but a classier gold and black. It also looks like it is big enough to hold everything you could need in a day, like on the way to a university class, but not be too big at the same time!

I really like the Rafe New York Crackle Leather ‘Reese’ Medium Shoulder Handbag because it seems pretty versatile, like you could wear it with jeans or with a little black dress. Love the bold pink color it comes in! Thanks!

I have been diagnosed with bag boredom! I would love to make every day a little special with the decadently delightful Prada Striped Nappa Hobo Handbag. It would complete my look with so many of my outfits and make even the most basic outfit look hip and chic. Thank you for the opportunity to win the use of a perfect around town companion!

I am nuts about the Betsey Johnson ‘Rock Stud-y’ Satchel Handbag. It’s a little edgy yet practical and simply designed and I love the pearl gray color. I don’t like white too much but this is a nice substitute color for me.
Shelley Mitchell
Louis Vuitton all the way!!! I love these bags!

I love the Dallas Vintage Telephone Shoulder Bag because it is so unique

I absolutely love this clutch. My boyfriend and I spend a lot of nights at the opera, the ballet, and the philharmonic, but I don’t have an bags that I can use for these events. This clutch is nice because you can dress it up for the evening or dress it down with some dark jeans and a flowing tank.

http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/Rafe-New-York/Rafe-New-York-Laos-Martina-Wood-Frame-Clutch/10700/42/122
I love this clutch from Rafe New York. This would be perfect for me. Just enough room for my phone, my money, my chapstick and a couple other essentials. The cream color and exquisite details of the cutaway flowers would compliment my style perfectly. I wear a lot of second-hand and vintage pieces. This clutch is modern but looks vintage enough to blend in or stand out whenever I wanted it to. It would be a great piece to transition from day to night, also. I love the wood handle and the antique rivets.
This clutch is stunning. I absolutely love it!

I tend to wear clothes in neutral colors, especially black, so I definitely love to have bags (and shoes, of course) with a pop of color. I love this bag because it’s a perfect blend of simplicity and boldness.

My pick is the Balenciaga Motorcycle bag!!!
http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/Handbags/Balenciaga/Balenciaga-Giant-City-Handbag/14613/18/51
Seriously. This bag. I die.
Buttery-soft, distressed Italian leather, in-your-face gold hardware, straps, zippers, and pockets galore. My holy grail handbag. The perfect way to add a edge to any outfit. This bag is a modern classic. An icon. NEED!!!
