The Latest Trends in Fashion Handbags

A fashion bag is always big and beautiful. Because of its large size, it is very popular among many women who have a lot of necessities to put inside a bag. Big bags also complement simple outfits and can be worn during the day and even at night. Of course, you use the classy ones at night and the simpler, duller ones during the day. Because big bags are in today, you wouldn’t really have any trouble choosing your perfect purchase.

Fashion Bag – Patent And Silky

A fashion bag that is loved by many people today is the one that’s patent or shiny. Metallic are hip these days and are considered to be the recent fashion trend. Because they have this classy appeal, they can be worn with any apparel as long as they won’t overpower the dress or the outfit that you are wearing.

Fashion Bag – The Trendy Colors

The latest trend in fashion bag designs today is those which have the liveliest colors. The most celebrated shade today is green. Whether its neon, lime or forest green, the shade itself is so popular today. Other colors include gold and silver which are both metallic and which are the latest trends in the handbag wardrobe. Of course, the black and the white colors remain to be popular as always.

Fashion Bag – Favorite Plush Brands

A fashion bag can be expensive and can cost up to a few thousand dollars. The most lavish brands include Louis Vuitton, Balenciaga, Prada, Gucci, Chanel and a lot more. The quality of these handbags is unquestionable. However, they are so expensive that most of the population cannot afford these handbags.

Fashion Bag – Favorite Middle-Class Brands

The middle class fashion bag has prices which are far more affordable to a lot of people. Brands like XOXO, Nine West, Aldo, Liz Claiborne, and a lot more are considered to be less costly and are sought after by many people. Those who want to save on their purchase while still having both class and durability should settle on these brands for a less pricey but worthy buy.

Choosing an evening handbag can be quite a demanding task for those who are only starting to take on the “formal world”. However, with the proper mix and matching of colors, deciding on the right bag can be a tad easy for you. Typically, it is safe to purchase a black, gold, and silver evening bag. Because these colors can be used in a number of outfits, it would be safe to have these three colors in your closet in case you would need them.

Evening handbag – Where to Buy Them

An evening handbag can be bought anywhere. You can choose designer bags which are far more expensive than the normal ones sold in malls. You can also decide on replica or vintage bags which are more affordable compared to the designer bags. There are actually a number of options to choose from. Everything would just depend on your preferences and your outfits as well.

Evening Handbag – The Costs

An evening handbag can cost from a few dollars to a thousand bucks. Of course, you can only expect the designer handbags to cost more. If you are on a tight budget, there are plenty of evening bags which are sold at cheaper costs.

Evening Handbag – Choosing Among the Many Types

An evening handbag has many types. There are printed evening bags which are generally not safe to buy; and there are also those which have a classic appeal that is by far the safest to purchase. An evening handbag should never overpower your outfit. It is essential to remember that the main attraction would be your dress which is followed by other accessories. Purchasing a dazzling evening bag can ruin the beautiful outfit that you are wearing. Again, the safest to choose would be plain and basic colors like gold, silver and black.

The big brown bag – Option #2

Melie Bianco ruched tote

Melie Bianco ruched tote

Katie is still looking for a bag!  A big brown one!  So here’s her second option: the ruched tote from Miele Bianco.  This bag is a nice combination of simple shape (it’s essentially a square tote) with cool detailing (the ruching and the silver hardware).  It’s also a basic brown, but with a twist: this bag is patent, not matte leather, so it has a cool shine.

One caveat about this bag, though: this may not be the best choice for a very petite woman; the ruching makes it a fairly substantial tote, and it could easily overwhelm a very small frame.  But for anyone NOT wearing a P size, this is a terrific go-to bag.

Miele Bianco ruched patent tote, $79.00 at Piperlime.  (And a reminder: Piperlime ALWAYS offers free shipping — you can even toss something from The Gap Inc’s other stores into your shopping bag with your Piperlime purchase and keep the free shipping, on everything! Sweet.)

Super organized purse tutorial – aka “the attaching purse™”

I finally finished it, the tutorial for my “attaching purse©”. I’ll admit, it’s a long tutorial with lots of pics, and some parts probably seem complicated. It’s not as beastly as it seems. I’m sure there is a MUCH more efficient way to both make the purse and write the tute, but I’m an amateur and it’s my first tutorial =)

The finished purse will measure 11 x 7 and is 3 inches deep. It has four pockets, I use them for cell phone, lotion, chapstick, and keys. There’s room for a wallet (I made mine using this tutorial with a few revisions) and sunglasses. The loops on the back are so I can attach it to whatever diaper bag I happen to be carrying around. The strap is used when I’m on my own – senza babies and diapers – just me and my purse!

Note: All measurements are in inches unless otherwise noted.
