Each year, I look out for a new shiny bag I can make my partner in crime for the holidays. This Kate Spade Sequined Long Shoulder Bag ($375) totally fits the bill. I dig the long strap and how the texture is imperfect. Bummer it's so expensive.

It's no Kate Spade, but this Steve Madden Broxy Black Sequin Bag ($38) comes pretty darn close. It has the same extra-long straps and the imperfect texture. The only difference is, the Spade version is slightly more rounded. Oh well, no biggie, it still dazzles. It'll be even more darling as a cross-body bag.
