It wasn't until I actually saw someone carrying this bag that I really liked it. I noticed it on a woman in the grocery store, and it looked really good paired with her jeans and simple top, a lot like the model picture below. It is the Rafe Jaguar Brook handbag, and it has a classic sophisticated look. It is made of jaguar printed haircalf, so it's definitely a winter bag, but it's still a good buy for the price. As always, Rafe delivers a good solid handbag with quality and style. It's on sale at zappos.com . $385

While I usually only like to carry a woven straw handbag during warmer months, the sequins on this Rafe bag look quite festive and holiday-ish. This is their Phi-Phi Eugene straw handbag. The tassels, chain-link strap, and sequins up the style factor on this great handbag. I love how the top is so open and you could easily get anything out quickly (very important for a busy and overloaded mommy). It's on sale! Available at NORDSTROM, $164

This is a beautiful little clutch from Rafe. I love the sequin handags for the upcoming holidays or any evening. sequins are everywhere this season - dresses, shoes, and handbags! This handbag is the Rafe Morgan Frame Clutch and it has beautiful, intricate detail. it is hand beaded mini sequins on satin fabric with patent leather trim. Rafe handbags are always great, because they are not only top quality, but more affordable than other luxury brands. This clutch is $554 at zappos.com
