Fall Fashion Trends: "It" Bags:

With summer coming to a close, fall is upon us, which means new season, new beginnings! And that means time for a new wardrobe, or at least time for change! I love the fall for many reasons and one of them being fashion. Since I am a huge fan of bags, I wanted to give you an update on what are the latest fall fashion trends for "it" bags. Here is the list on what's hot this fall... 

All you need is...a bag!

1. The backpack:

This is one of my personal favorite trends right now. This is my everyday go-to-bag because it is so easy to carry around to work, when I adventure out to the city, and even when I go out at night to a restaurant or a bar. This 90s look is back, and it makes your outfit super-chic but yet is really comfortable and convenient for everyday.

2. The clutch: 

Every girl needs a nice Clutch! When I go out to a nice dinner, or somewhere fancy with my girls, a clutch is very necessary. It is practical, not too big, and is easy to carry around. I usually like to buy a simple black, gold, or silver clutch that can go with any outfit. Also, when dressing down, a colorful clutch helps brighten the outfit.

3. Fringed bags:

Looking at some collections for fall, the fringe bag is back yet for another fall/winter season. I've noticed that many designers (e.g., McCartney, Michael Kors, Roberto Cavalli and Lanvin) are still going with this boho look, and the fringe bag is a must. When I'm feeling a little hippie, I like to wear my fringe bag paired with flared pants, colorful headband and a jean jacket. 

4. Bags with chains:

Sometimes wearing a clutch can be a hassle because you have to hold it. So, if this isn't for you, then I would go for a bag with chains. It's just as classy as a clutch but easier to carry around. Coco Chanel started this trend, and it seems that season after season this bag is always in; other designers, such as Bottega Veneta, Christian Dior, Dolce & Gabbana and Rag & Bone, have adopted the trend as well. Classy with a bit of edge, this bag can be paired with the simplest jean and t-shirt outfit to the classiest cocktail dress you own.

5. Retro Inspired bags:

The minimalist English and the American classics have made a comeback this season. Designers that have adopted this trend are Salvatore Ferragamo, Hugo Boss, Christian Dior, Louis Vuitton, Miu Miu, and Marni. This bag design says time travel to the groovy 60s! It is classic, elegant and romantic!

 6. Mini-luggage bag:

I have seen many celebrities wearing these bags everywhere they go. From fashion shows, sporting events, to even your basic everyday bag that's great when traveling. Celine is famously known for this bag, this was last fall's "it" bag, and it seems that its still a must have for this season too. A girl has many goodies she needs to fit in her bag, and this bag is perfect for that. I call it the Mary Poppins bag because you really can fit almost everything in there!
