Rihanna with a gorgeous Chanel tote bag

That looks way more laid back than most Chanel bags, which I love!

The photo was taken in Rihanna's native Barbados, by the way, a location I really wouldn't mind now that it's so cold where I am. Lucky girl, both because of the bag and because of the perfect weather she must be experiencing right now!

New, completely crazy Chanel beach bag

I am all for oversized bags, since I tend to lug a lot of stuff with me everywhere. But this latest Chanel Hula Hoop beach bag is taking the oversize trend a bit too far, if you ask me. This just cannot be practical! And I don't like the fact that the Chanel-ness of it is made so in your face. Luxury definitely should be a bit more discreet.

And who spends tons of money on a beach bag anyway? I only carry them very rarely, so simple ones are definitely enough for me, I prefer to put my money into every day bags instead.

Kelly Osbourne with a super cool neon colored Chanel flap bag

I love Chanel bags, including the classic, timeless ones, but I am particularly fond of the more unusual makes from this brand, such as Kelly Osbourne's very cool neon Chanel flap bag.

I am not necessarily saying I would go for something this quirky for my first Chanel bag, with a limited handbag budget it is probably better to go for a neutral when you start off, but if you are a celebrity who doesn't have to worry about such trivial matters, this neon Chanel will surely add a fun, non-forgettable splash of color to your collection!

Kim Kardashian's gorgeous turquoise Chanel bag

Kim Kardashian has a really nice collection of handbags. She was recently spotted with this turquoise Chanel bag, that I just adore, for instance.

These bags are really stunning on their own, but I think they are even more fun in bright colors. And I have to say, I haven't seen very many turquoise ones so far.

Trend: Nautical bags

The nautical trend is one of the hottest trends right now, and I have to say, I love it!

I personally do not have even one nautical bag yet, I've never ran into one that felt perfect for me (even though I did see some rather cute ones at H&M recently), but I am seriously considering getting one.

If you are too, here are some cute options:

Cameron Diaz has a great Bottega Veneta clutch

Everyone who knows me knows that my ultimate bag dream is not a Hermes bag, not a Chanel bag, but what keeps me up at night having handbag dreams is Bottega Veneta.
So I am extremely jealous of everyone who has one (I am still waiting for my first). So let's add Cameron Diaz to that list, she was recently spotted carrying this beauty:
