Every fall, I have to buy a new bag. It's a rite of passage into cooler weather, or at least that's what I tell myself when I swipe my credit card at Nordstrom. I just can't resist layering my layers with a new pal on my arm—especially if it comes in a fall-themed color, like maroon or cognac.

This year, there are tons of new styles out there for crossbody bags, totes, satchels, shoulder bags, and more. Classic designs and patterns still remain a favorite of mine, but I also can't resist chasing trends.

Here are a couple of my favorite handbags you can buy right now. Happy shopping!


1. This stylish, brand new Tory Burch tote

I fell in love with this bag the moment I saw it. The lambskin leather. The unique pattern. It looks way more expensive than it is, and I need it. Buy now: Tory Burch Lousia Lambskin Leather Tote, $598 at Nordstrom

I have always been obsessed with this tote bag from Madewell. It's a staple in every fashion girl's closet, and works great for the office or for a weekend adventure. Buy now: Madewell ‘The Transport’ Leather Tote, $168 at Nordstrom


3. A professional tote that is perfect for the office

I actually own this bag and have been using it literally every single day for work for the past two years. It perfectly fits my 15" laptop along with my computer charger, wallet, and all of the other things I put in my bag (that's a lot of stuff, you guys). I highly recommend this bag! Buy now: Tory Burch ‘York’ Buckle Tote, $295 at Nordstrom


4. This trendy Coach bag that combines suede and leather

Coach has made a major comeback over the last few years. The quality of their leather is great, and this bag goes beyond that—it features suede too, a must-have this season. Buy now: Coach Edie 42 Leather & Suede Shoulder Bag, $495 at Nordstrom


5. A black hobo bag that goes with anything

If you have the money, why don't you own this purse already? A classic Burberry bag will last forever. It's a no-brainer if you can afford it. (Clearly I really want one of these.) Buy now: Burberry Medium Banner Leather Tote, $1,595 at Nordstrom


7. A Longchamp tote that is a beautiful wine color
