Okay – so I have to admit, at first I didn`t really get the whole Kristen Stewart thing. She apparently “burst” onto the scene as a Vampire loving virgin who somehow attracts the undead, the half-animal, and dreamy freaks of all walks of (un)life despite having bad style and being kinda plain. I`ll admit that maybe it`s because I read the books and loved them that I couldn`t get into Kristen as Bella Swan– she just didn`t match the Bella in my mind. But, she hasn`t left the spotlight, and people can`t stop raving about her.

Kristen Stewart Owns Casual Sexy….And Some Handbags Too

So, we`re three Twilights deep and 3 years into the Kristen Stewart star saga, and you know what – I`m starting to get it. At first she seemed plain, now she seems down to earth. At first she seemed prudish, now she seems head strong. At first she seemed to have not style, and now I`m starting to think that she rocks casually in a wholly unique way. The girl has grown. And, while I still don`t think she`s that naturally beautiful, there`s something to be said for rocking the right attitude. Kristen Stewart owns the casual sexy look. Maybe this is why so many people worldwide are coming down with the OTD (Obsessive Twilight Disorder). There`s something mesmerizing about Stewart, but I can`t quite sink my teeth into it.

Kristen`s Handbags

Alright, so I`ve confessed to coming around to Kristen`s look – but that doesn`t mean she`s perfect. Girls got a lot to learn (and time to do it…she`s just 20). Here`s a look at some of her bags – the bad, the good, and the great.

Bad Choice: Kristen’s Ralph Lauren Belmont Bag

My greatest fear is that this bag may become responsible for rooming packs of teenage girls with oversized ugly handbags. Sorry Kristen, but you`re a role model now. It`s cool to kick it in your old leather jacket, skinny jeans, and converse, but can you at least rock a nice bag when you`re doing it? This gaudy, blasé, leather bag from Ralph Lauren is an example of too much of a bad thing. Somebody should find the pictures of her in this bag and burn them….then erase them from the internet before more damage is done.

Good Choice: Day Tripper from See by Chloe

Here we find Kristen out and about with the same sort of casual indie style as seen above, only this time her bag is a sexy-meets-casual black leather number from Chloe, teaching the kids that you don`t need to care too much to look great…so long as you don`t pick an ugly accessory. She oozes rock star cool in this shot.

Great Choice: Linea Pelle Lola Tote large

Wow. Here Kristen has taken her classic style and perfected it! This bag has the same sort of feel that the Ralph Lauren (above) is going for. The difference is that this bag is gorgeous. So casual, so sexy. While at first I was totally annoyed by the fact that Kristen never seems to try to look good, I`ve come to appreciate how she pulls it off with ease. So many people look awful dressed down. But Kristen not only manages to look great like this, she also makes it look….classy. I don`t get it, but I like it.

Kristen’s Coach Handbag Design

Just like Kristen herself, I don`t really know what to make of this bag. The stark minimalism is appealing. The simple tote with sharp angles in white – it`s bold. More bold than I`d expected from Ms. Stewart. But, I don`t know what to say about that amateurish doodle that graces the bag face. Is it art? Is it a childish graffiti? I don`t know if it`s brilliant or stupid.

I`m on the fence right now, and I`m going to sit on it for a while. If find this bag to be equally compelling and confusing. The last time something Stewart did, inspired ambivalence in me that ambivalence slowly turned into adoration. In three months I might be raving about this thing.
