One of my favorite trends this year is the black leather bag with gold toned hardware. Spiffy yet casual, this purse goes anywhere you do, without proclaiming Death to Style. Or resorting to danglies that send you flying every time they catch on a poorly placed door knob. Now would be a good time to pick one up, because Bluefly is offering 20 percent off all purses, today only. Here are my favorites:

This beautiful Tufi Duek black leather studded frame bag is on sale for $298. The frame top, antiqued leather, and careful detail make me want to hug this bag before throwing in my novel, lip gloss and snacks.



On sale for $149, Via Spiga's black leather frame-top satchel features what looks to be buttery soft leather and a simple design.



A good everyday tote, Hype's Leighton shoulder bag is on sale for $106. Plaid twill lining and textured calf skin make it durable and fun. Looks big enough to fit a set of bag pipes. And who leaves the house these days without a spare set of bag pipes?
