Heading to a big party this Fall? Then you may have seen all the party dresses out there that sparkle like disco balls while on your quest for the perfect outfit. It’s no surprise though. This trend has been taking hold since sometime last Spring and it seems to be gaining momentum. But what if you like the idea of having something glitzy… just not the idea of lighting up the entire room with your derriere? Try a sparkly handbag instead! I really like this one from Halston Heritage called the Cleo Small Sac Bag. It would make the perfect Fall 2010 party bag!

The iridescent metal-mesh on this bag provides just the right amount of glimmer. It is also this metal-mesh that gives this bag a somewhat vintage-ish feel. However, the simple sac shape lets everyone know that you didn’t dig this baby out of your grandma’s closet. Plus the color is absolutely to die for! Purple is definitely going to be a hot color this year! And what better way to jump on the purple bandwagon than with a purple as pretty (and sparkly) as this? Just remember to keep the dress simple and the other accessories to a minimum. You going to want this beauty to speak for itself!
