For better or worse, we look at our phones, and other gadgets, basically all day long, so don’t they deserve something special? And since it’s not your main accessory in the spotlight, your iPhone or iPad case is where you can really let loose and opt for something you wouldn’t normally carry. Snakes? Sure! Studs? Bring it!
Shorter, colder days mean more time indoors and less sunshine, but let’s look on the bright side. Just when the gloom of fall has settled upon us, we get a burst of gorgeous rainbow-bright bags to cheer us up. The best thing about rainbows, besides the mood-boosting factor? They literally go with everything. When all the shades of the spectrum are included in your bag, it will pick up whichever you want. So don’t hesitate to take the color plunge.
Can’t keep up with who’s designing for which brand? In the high fashion world’s ongoing game of musical chairs, it can be overwhelming to keep track of the creative minds behind the brands.
We all carefully plan what we wear on a date because we know choice of dress (or pants, for that matter) and shoes determines the signals we give off. But it’s your bag that shows your real feelings.
Though it’s been the ‘70s show in fashion lately, definite shades of ‘90s cool have infiltrated – and no trend from that decade appeals to my sartorial sensibilities more than the chunky Mary Jane. Courtney Love’s baby doll look may not be hot right now, but these shoes most certainly are. Today’s version is sleeker than its predecessor, suggesting a higher sense of sophistication (grunge, these are not).
While I may not be adventurous enough for a crazy, fun hairstyle these days (the ’80s were a whole different story!), I can definitely project that side of myself with the right bag. Like this twist on the fur-covered front flap by Valentino.
