'It' Bags Of The Season

Hi guys! sorry for the long silence I have had a super busy schedule lately. Been working on some major changes rebranding the business and moving it online, this has been taking a whole lot of my time. I would let you in  on the deets when all is set.  Today i'll be sharing some of my current favourites trends in bags.

To be honest I'm not much of a bag lady, and I reckon for most women there's a limit to just how many we really really need, no? Unless of course you are blessed with a closet that go for miles. I'll be paying attention to just the basic characeristics in my classification,  shapes and sizes, as each bag style  typically comes in all sorts of color patterns and made from all sorts of materials.  I'll also be stripping the list to the basic of what would work from work to socials and travels, these are some of my favourite trends.

The Oversized Clutch
This trend takes the clutch from  the mini version fit for mostly  formal and evening events and makes it appropriate for both day and informal events.  They come in all sorts of styles and patterns - picture embellished, tasselled, fur, assymetric,  bottom line they are all huge. This is one trend i'm loving because  it gives  both chicness and functionality. This bag combines the elegance of a clutch with the ability to carry all your 'valuable'....or more like everything you want to carry not necessarily valuables. How annoying is it when you want to go out with just one bag and everything you need cannot fit in? Not with this one, phones...check, wallet....check, make up....check.....Ipad?  oh no! more like Macbook Air, now we are getting somewhere.

The CrossBody
A great functional bag, the cross body is huge this season and comes both with chained straps for glam events or simple leather traps for everyday use. Some actually come with detachable straps which means easy transition from a day cross body bag to a mini night time clutch. I love how this is totally fuss free, Its my go to bag on days when I need my hands to be  blissfully free.

The Drawstring Back Pack
No more reserved for just students, the packback is making a showing in the form of chic drawstring bags termed "Sling Bags". Another  great option for when you need your hands free,  and you want to fit in all your essentials while on the go, one of the best option for travels if you ask me.

The Top Handle Purse
The top handle bags of the season come in both the classic satchel with both shoulder and top handle straps as well as cute mini ladylike mini bags reminiscence of the 50's.  I favour the ladylike mini bag for their timeless feminine elegance, which is very Jackie O'. The mini's are great for transitioning from day to night as a lot of them come with detachable straps which can be attached to form shoulder bags for day or detached for a night time clutch or wristlet.

The Fold Over Clutch
The fold over bag is as the name suggests 'folded over', this bag is the king of 'slouch' in bags, it lacks any structure. Though lacking in structure, they have a refinement about them that makes them classic and almost artistic. I love how minimal and effortless they tend to look.
