Hi

In a world where we are dominated by structure, it is liberating to allow at least our fashion to be unrestrained and free of these constraints. However, direct from a season where loose and flowing little dresses defied the telling hands of time and large slouchy bags were all the rage, the sartorial powers that be seem to be hinting at us all that it is indeed time to grow up, or at least to give off such an air until the next trend rolls around.

Wide leg pants are slowly replacing our skinny jeans and leggings, and short jackets and blouses give a professional air and long lines, and our handbags are keeping in line with this look. But luckily there are a few trends hanging on from past seasons as well as great new ones that will allow you to give a powerful punch to your wardrobe and choose between becoming that elusive grown up and keeping that youthful air about you. Here are a few of fall’s choicest trends that will keep the bag-lover in us all fabulous and fashionable:

Structure – form and function take on a sophisticated and professional air, replacing the relaxed look of the past with big, floppy totes. Large and lending a polished look to the carrier, the structured handbag is one worth making an investment as it falls into the classic category, and you’re sure to find some treasures in vintage shops or your grandmother’s closet! Think classic Birkin, or the Giambattista Valli bag that combines structure and patent leather to luscious perfection, and with the right eye you can find the right structure that fits within any budget.

Metallic -- No need to abandon your metallics from last season just yet, or if you were hesitating you still have time, as they are as hot as ever and a great accessory to add a little glam to your wardrobe.

Bold Colors – Some fashion rules are certainly dead, and the days of diligently matching your bags to your shoes are long gone. Brighten up your winter days with a bag that really pops and allow it to be the center of attention, like with the talk of the town fiery patent Lanvin.
