Beyond a Label

I realized that forget the logos, embellishments details, and print. A great investment in a fabulous bag is something basic like this tan/beige leather medium duffel tote bag. I love the simplicity and architectural details. So clean and underrated for those who prefer a real bag that doesn't scream "look at me". Forget show stopper, I like a bag because it's something that I like personally and don't care if nobody doesn't notice it or not. It seems like everyone wants a bag that proves to everyone that it's a designer, but the real deal is that: "Does it really satisfy what you really want in a bag?" I love this bag because it's versatile to use whether casual or dressy.

The Lay Down

I've noticed the main color for Chloé Fall Winter 2010 was all shades of beige. Whether it was light hint or a camel dark, it just set the trend for this Fall/Winter season. One of my personal favorite key pieces was a medium beige tone booties with a light brown medium heel. These are the perfect shoes to wear with a overcoat, full skirt, or dress pants. Hannah MacGibbon really understands what young sophisticated women wants to wear without being too overrated. I would wear these with a forest green/red plaid cape coat with men styled trouser pants for a modern equestrian 70's style. And most importantly, that young Brooke Shields hair is a must for these type of shoes.

Drawstring bucket bags are making it's way back from the Chloé Fall Winter 2010 collection. I am in need of this gorgeous mahogany brown leather drawstring bucket bag that is a great utility to hold all your personal essential. This bag can go with almost any look without being to dressy or too casual. My advice is you can always find a great drawstring bag at thrift stores or vintage stores for a really good bargain.
