The Burberry Prorsum collections have provided us with some edgy British chic in trench coats with a twist, spiked and over-sized plaids and studs, bold design elements and heels all with a nod to the British classics. This adorable clutch is no exception to the over-the-top styling. While we’re in the midst of a sweltering summer and white is perfectly fine to carry, this bag ships AFTER Labor Day. If the proper, etiquette abiding, tea-loving English say it’s okay to carry white in the Fall, then it really must be true!

Who doesn’t love vintage Chanel? For one it’s classic and has proven to last the test of fashion time. But what is it about owning a Chanel handbag that addicts have grown to love? I don’t have the answer for you, it’s just something about owning at least one piece (if not more!) in your collection that we all aspire to do. You will never forget your first Chanel.

I finished college last year but when I was attending for some odd reason I always liked having either the most fashionable school supply or the cutest. Sometimes my stuff was high fashion and sometimes it was things you would envision a little girl would have. I wouldn’t say I’m immature it just brought some life to the very boring college life I had. Plus the girls would always be mean to me to my face or behind my back talking about the accessories I had, the heels I wore, or how much of an idiot I must be to spend what I did on what I had. I can still remember to this day walking out of class and a girl yelling at me, “Just so you know college isn’t a fashion show Pantene girl.” I looked at her and just gave her the famous Pantene hair flip because two wrongs never make a right and karma is meaner than I can ever be.

My biggest complaint about very structured handbags is the fact that no matter how attractive they are, most are extremely uncomfortable to carry. With the stiff corners and heavy textiles, most handles are either rolled or just as structured and shoulder-aching themselves. Chloé proves that structured pieces can be just as comfortable with one of their latest, the Darla Shoulder Bag.

I’m usually one for neutral colors but when I spotted the Marc by Marc Jacobs “Bianca” Dreams of Monte Carlo Continental Wallet I was amazed. What caught my eye the most was how beautiful the color is. For me to actually say a color is beautiful, it must really be because I’m on the morbid side. I only like black and white and when a color catches my eyes it’s usually gorgeous. The color is called “Ocean Sapphire” and it’s definitely eye popping and perfect for the Summer. Summer is all about color and this is probably one of the more prettiest colors in existence!

If you have been following my posts, then you probably know that my mom was a self-proclaimed hippie. And when I was a teenager myself, I was fascinated by this. I loved checking out my mom’s hippie clothes and would sometimes borrow things to wear. They were pretty cool, after all. During this time, I loved those cute little “hippie” bags that you could find just about anywhere. My favorite one was a cream crocheted crossbody. And even though I sort of grew out of the look as I grew older (I said sort of!), I still find myself secretly adoring those cute little “hippie” bags all over again. So you can probably understand why I think the Elliot Mann Your Bag is pretty darn cool!

When is comes to a casual everyday style, I love the look of a simple leather handbag. My favorites right now are those satchel-messenger styles that you see with big name designers. Some visual references for what I’m talking about would be Mulberry’s Alexa Bag and Proenza Schouler’s PS1 Satchel. They have this modern vintage feeling about them and they look great paired with jeans and a t-shirt. They are, in their own way, very iconic pieces. But in this mini quest of sorts, I have discovered that getting this great look doesn’t necessarily need to come in the form of a designer bag. Don’t get me wrong, I love the two handbags I mentioned above. However, they are rather expensive and my interest in this look may not survive the investment. I think that is why I am finding myself drawn to this look-for-less pictured here. Meet the Fossil Vintage Reissue II Messenger Bag!
