What’s cute and flowy and the latest in handbag fashion? FRINGE!

Of course we’ve seen fringed handbags around for years, but it seems that this summer they’ll be especially on trend. Plenty of celebrities are picking up on the look.

Kourtney Kardashian has been hitting up the LA scene lately with this long, black-fringed bag by Stella & Jamie. You gotta love the way the layers of fringe on this bag move and flow - clearly Kourtney does!

I think the look of fringe in motion is a major part of a fringed bag’s appeal. Jenna Dewan was spotted looking fabulous in a summery jean jacket, the fringe on her taupe handbag dancing as she walks down the street! Perfect for the actress and dancer of Step Up, don’t you think?

But Dewan isn’t the only one who loves the trend. The style also seems to be a favorite of Vanessa Hudgens, who has been seen with her grey suede fringe handbag many times, pairing the indispensable purse with lots of different looks. V has had a penchant for the hippy chic look of fringe handbags for several seasons now.

Another big name in entertainment, Taylor Swift has a favorite fringed bag too. Taylor’s is a rich, chocolate brown and, once again, seems to go with any outfit!

Will you have a fringed bag in your wardrobe this summer? If you’re still searching for just the right style, have a look at our selection of fringed purses.

You could go with an understated look, maybe just a fringed tassel like with the giraffe print handbag on the left; or you could go full-on fringe with the cute Sally fringe bag on the right!

Sometimes it seems you never see a super star wearing the same outfit, the same shoes or the same purse twice. After all, they’ve got plenty of money to buy clothes and plenty of designers who want to see them wearing their lines.

But sometimes super stars can be just the same as us, and just as we’ve all got our favorite comfy pair of jeans or our signature bag, so do celebs.

From the number of times Keira Knightley has been spotted out with her Ostrich Hobo Miu Miu bag, it seems like she may have a new favorite purse!

OK, it may not be her favorite, but at least it seems to be her go-to bag. Many nights when she steps out of the Comedy Theatre in London, where she’s acting in “The Children’s Hour,” the bag is seen swinging off her shoulder.

The play also stars Elisabeth Moss and Rebecca Hall, and it’s scheduled to run through the beginning of May. It’s been popular because, obviously, Keira’s starring in it, but it’s also garnered good reviews from critics.

What else has Keira been up to lately? Word is she had an amicable split earlier in the year with long-time boyfriend Rupert Friend - he played the Wickham to her Elizabeth Bennett in Joe Wright’s 2005 adaptation of “Pride and Prejudice.” And it seems she’ll be working with Joe Wright again soon. Keira is slotted to play the title role in a new adaptation, directed by Wright, of Anna Karenina.

We’ll be looking forward to the new film, and in the meantime we can at least sneak a peek at her London bag style! The two-tone neutrals of her Miu Miu bag and the large flap make it perfect for everyday and easy to match to any outfit. If you’re in need of a new go-to bag, take a page from Keira’s book and try a two-tone styles, like our Alexander Shoulder Bag or the Julie Herringbone tote.

The Hills. You know, the hit reality TV show following the adventure and drama of four L.A. girls? The series finale was last summer, but the stars of “The Hills” are far from out of the spotlight!

Ever wonder what they’re up to these days? Well today we’ve got the scoop on their latest projects and their spring/summer style!

What’s L.C., Lauren Conrad, been doing in 2011? Lauren has turned author with her “L.A. Candy” books, and she’s already planning a potential movie and more books for the future. She also has a new fashion line set for launch in fall 2011, and walk into any Kohl’s and you’ll see her trendy discount fashion line!

And for good reason, Lauren has a fashion sense worth following! Looking stylishly simple, above Lauren sets off her white tee and jeans with a camel belt and beautiful camel handbag. I’m sure you’ve got a white shirt and jeans, but if you’re still looking for the perfect camel satchel to complete a Lauren-inspired outfit, have a look at our tan handbags.

Whitney Port has had a successful time outside “The Hills” as well. Whitney left “The Hills” for her own spin-off called “The City,” following her career as a budding designer in New York City’s fashion world. “The City” was canceled after two seasons, but Whitney’s still involved in reality TV, hosting the show “Genuine Ken” on Hulu. Her first book and autobiography, “True Whit,” came out in February.

Whit seems to still be going strong in fashion, despite the rather random ensemble she was seen wearing recently. The sweats and skeleton shirt look a little like pajamas, but we can’t quarrel with the bold colors of her handbag! A great multi-colored bag can really make an outfit.

Audrina Patridge has been pursuing her careers in modeling and acting. She’s had several roles in Hollywood and was on the last season of “Dancing with the Stars.” She was seen last week coming out of filming for her new reality show called “Audrina,” which premieres April 17th on VH1.

Audrina looks summery and casual in white, with an adorable little white purse swinging from her wrist! Our classic quilted shoulder bag in white will give you the same fresh look.

As for the fourth original star of “The Hills”…oh Heidi, what do we do with you? With her marriage and staged divorce to Spencer Pratt, as well as all the plastic surgery, “The Hills” seemed to turn Heidi Montag into a desperate attention-seeker. She’s been keeping a fairly low profile in 2011, although recently she’s been seen filming a restaurant reality TV series with other reality celebs like Danielle Staub from “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” and Jake Pavelka from “The Bachelor.”

A high-profile Hermes bag is Heidi’s ordinary fashion staple, but this blue Balenciaga look from a few years ago is so cheerful and cute! Our new Lucille Buckle Satchel channels this fun look from Heidi.

You won’t need a reality show to be making headlines with our Hills-inspired bags!!
