Shield your eyes. Jimmy Choo’s Keeya Metallic Tote is blinding when set in direct sunlight, but its reflective finish is a good accessory for casual-elegant evening wear, adding a whole new glow to a night time look. Although it has a silvery cast, the bag is actually made with pale gold leather. The tote features wide, soft handles, a central zip pocket and two slim pockets at each end of the tote. $1,395.

Pretty in plum pink, the Marc Jacobs Quilted Leather Irina Handbag has a fun, young feel to it. This is due to its use of contrasting textures, using both quilted and grained leathers, and a well-placed diagonal zipper on the front of the bag. It also has “Marc Jacobs” in large, gold lettering that matches the golden brass hardware and gives the bag a little bit of bling. If pink is a little too bold, the Irina is also is available in a caramel-colored brown. It measures 19″ x 11″ x 8″. Price: $995.
