Editors Best of 2010: The coolest jewelry and handbags
This year, once again, we're thrilled to announce some of our favorite picks of the year which we'll share all week long. Yes, it's like picking amongst our children, because we really really love everything we feature here. Enjoy our editors' favorite jewelry and handbags that were covered in 2010.

Jewelry

I adore the sexy bracelets from Paula Lapkin of Yara Jewelry (at top)--so much so, we gave one to each of our editors for the holidays. Let's just say they weren't disappointed. -Liz There's just something about the simple, stunning designs by Laurel Denise that have me mesmerized. I'll take one of everything please. -Kristen

Handbags

My Hayden-Harnett bag procured from local Brooklyn boutique Blueberi is the one that has made me happy every day for the last four months. Similar to the one shown here (styles change all the time), I love the details and the sturdy but stylish construction. -Liz The Eva Satchel from Ellington is the perfect combination of function and style--and oh that purple! I love that it's so in right now. Plus, the price? Insane! -Kristen

Diaper Bags

As if I didn't already love the smart bags from skip*hop already, they added the stylish, and super affordable Versa bag diaper bag this year, and made me fall in love all over again. -Kristen On the high end, kudos to Nest, who once again creates a diaper bag that makes me wish I were still carrying one. The Nest Dexter Diaper Bag is a beauty. Expensive, but a beauty. -Liz Don't miss the rest of our Best of 2010, all week long. To see our favorite jewelry and bags of 2009, click here.
