Other than the fact you’re inevitably going to end up with traces of fuchsia glitter all over yourself, this is the best holiday bag ever. If there was ever a fun party bag made exclusively for the eternal little girl who happens to be all grown up on the outside, Saint Laurent’s Lulu bag is it. Even the name connotes youth and frivolity.
I’m always a fan of the match-up of hot pink and ruby red; it clashes in the best way possible. This pop of scarlet on a flap-front bag in scalding magenta is the cherry on top of a sparkly sundae. But your number-one holiday bag needs a clutch option, you say? The strap detaches off this shoulder bag, so you can use it as one (it either comes off all the way or stays long; it doesn’t convert to a top-handle bag, though I wish it did, as the misleading photos would have you believe). Either way, nothing announces you’re ready for the party to start like a glitter-drenched bag. Heck, with this thing, you are the party. Saint Laurent Lulu bag on Luisa via Roma for $1,390.
Pair with: This calls for a black dress with a cool texture and a burst of a skirt, like Maje’s wafer-mesh mini dress. Its paneled bodice leads into a full, poufy skirt that’s modern, not babyish. On NET-A-PORTER for $430.
