New Year's Resolution

2. Neiman Marcus Snake-Embossed Faux-Leather Evening Clutch Bag: This is possibly the smartest buy of the bunch. You really can’t do better than $55 for a gorgeous minaudière with a super-cool snake embellishment to boot. A minaudière is something you use infrequently, so why put your whole budget towards something that comes out around once a year? At Neiman Marcus for $55 (from $85).

4. Botkier New York Soho Zipper-Trimmed Python-Embossed Leather Tote: This python looks so legitimately real, Saks is telling me they can’t ship to California because of our no python law. I’ve already contacted them because who can’t use an incredibly chic and cheap tote this time of year? At Saks Fifth Avenue for $208.60 (from $298).

5. Rebecca Minkoff Studded Leather Tote: You’ve got the trendy factor with the smattering of studs and well-placed fringes, and a wide-open tote will be your best friend on most days. At this price, you’ll get your money’s worth by the end of January, easily. At Saks Fifth Avenue for $192.50
