Here at Purse Blog we love handbags. There is nothing surprising about that. Another thing we love, when a designer combines two hot trends in one handbag. The Rebecca Minkoff Nikki Pebbled Handbag is a fabulous example. This season blue handbags are all the rage! Even if you don't typically like the color blue, fear not, with all the amazing shades out there, you are bound to find one that suits your style. Beyond the color, there is a style of handbag most of us can't get enough of, the tote! The size, look and feel of most totes is great. Rebecca Minkoff hits a homerun with her tote; use this bag for work or play - it's bound to be a knock-out! Available through Bloomingdale's for $595.
