It is said that the human eye naturally is drawn to the lightest object in view, which is why girls sometimes wear black to hide unwanted imperfections. It is also why it’s good to wear something lighter colored on the top portion of your body, thus bringing attention toward your face, unless of course, you want to draw attention to the bottom half. Anyway, this certainly is true of the Casadei Dali Bow Handbag, available from Zappos.com, which makes it my sixth choice for the “12 Handbags of Christmas.” I can’t believe we’re already halfway through!

When I saw this purse, my eyes were drawn immediately to the light green velvet bow perched on the flap. Bows are such a girly-girl detail, which I love. Priced at $826.95, it’s a flap-style shoulder bag with a double silver chain that has a velvet rest at top so the chain won’t dig into your shoulder—definitely a plus! A shoulder bag that isn’t too big (10.5″ l x 6″ h x 4.5″ d) is perfect for holiday gatherings because you can still carry your purse with you, but have your hands free. This bag also has feet on the bottom to help protect your purse when you just have to set it down, although with this bag, you won’t want to!
