Glamour with a touch of rocker edge best describes Alexander McQueen's bow-shaped clutch with spine-inspired print. Clutch and go for an evening out with friends or a cool date night.

Add a hot trend shade - neutral nude, plus a classic, versatile style and have the best of both worlds in Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Tresorier utilitarian chic tall cross-body bag in fine pebble leather. Perfect for a bike ride, a trek through NYC's Soho neighborhood, or a quick trip to the grocery store.

We recently held our very first casting call for employees at the Kentucky warehouse! We encouraged them to mug for the camera while they tried on this week's trends: neutrals, grays, boyfriend jeans, and casual wear. Not surprisingly, the photos are amazing and the looks are to buy for! (wink wink!) Shop Zappos.com and find your favorite trends.

This spring's hottest trend is now at Zappos! Taurie M., Photographer, knows that looking good is all about the basics! You can pair a neutral blouse, pant or jacket with just about anything. Grab the basics and quit worrying about what to wear!

Clutch it and go! This Hobo International's supple, broken-in leather Lauren Dual Top Closure Clutch can go anywhere. The rich bordeaux color of this clutch is hot trend color of the season, the smaller size makes it ideal for going out after work, and the hidden pockets between the two top closures are perfect for lip gloss and keys. It can dress up jeans and a tee or give a pencil skirt some going out flavor.

Pink, especially pearlized pink, is that delightful hue that bridges the color gap between youthful abandon and grown up sophistication. What's even better than that? It is one of the hot color trends for Spring/Summer 2009. We are loving this Moschino Cheap and Chic Dual Handle Pearlized Pink Shoulder Satchel. Pair it now with a black or navy turtleneck sweater dress and boots, and for the spring, think sleeveless sheaths and peep toe pumps.

From its humble beginnings on Scottish battlefields in the 1500s, to designer runways for Fall 2008, tartan and tartan-esque plaid have made a huge fashionable resurgence. Couture is loving the definitive plaid on lace up ankle boots , on stylish flats, on chic tunics, wrap braelets and shoulder totes.

If you have ever owned a bicycle, then the odds are you have had a flat tire or two, right? Um, yes. The lifespan of an inner tube is a short one in use, but has a lasting environmental effect in landfills, that is until now. English Retreads handbags, more Goodyear than Gucci, are handbags and accessories made out of reclaimed treads from landfills and tire manufacturers in Colorado. These cutting-edge bags are the brainchild of entrepreneur Heather English, a strict vegetarian who had searched for and could not find a stylish, eco-friendly alternative to leather handbags. The design process for each bag begins with the treads being machine washed, buffed, cut and shaped into one of the many handbag styles the company makes. Each handbag is unique due to each tread providing distinct details and markings from its previous use. English Retreads carries bags for both men and women, in styles ranging from satchels, to vertical messengers, to mini shoulder totes. The bags can be found online at englishretreads.com and thegreenloop.com, with prices ranging from $15 for a key chain to $209 for a large tote. Buy more than one though, because everyone needs a spare, at least in Colorado.

What happens when classic styling and craftsmanship meets modernity? The Bulga handbag line of course. From the classic shapes (think hobos, modern doctor-inspired bags and totes), to the vivid colors, to the lovely feminine lining, each bag is a instant classic. Our picks: Bulga De Beber Satchel in chocolate and Bulga Agape Hobo in Brandy.

Ah, home for the holidays... we all remember them well. You and your beloved wish for a tropical excursion, where you can lie on the beach, sip Mai Tai cocktails, and watch the sunsets. Then, bam! One phone call and you are snapped out of your fantasy into the reality of family obligations. Now, of course, it does not really have to be that bad; there is a certain comfort in embracing the family call and soldiering through it. That is why the film Four Christmases, a delightful new romantic comedy, is the perfect pre-holiday antidote for the upcoming holiday season. We may not be able to get out of our responsibilities, but we sure can laugh at seeing how other people deal with it on the big screen. Four Christmases - In Theaters November 26th!
