This time it’s yours- SS’16 Marc Jacobs Handbags

One of your goals this spring season should be to stay focused on the handbags more than the outfits of course. It was only last week that I was going through current trends in bags and constantly keeping an eye on brands I strictly believe in. Marc Jacobs topped the charts. And so I wanted, this time especially the blog should offer my readers more than what the average fashion critics say or least try to say. What speaks to me on an emotional level will be expressed in this blog reasonably. See, fashion is what wears you but style is what you wear.

Marc Jacobs is the name of the season. I am totally driven by the handbags by this luxury label. The bags and wallets category consists of cross body bags, shoulder bags, backpacks, totes, clutches, cosmetic bags, bag charms and wallets. With temperature in India expected to rise to a balmy 35 degrees, a little floral bag is the idea. Snapshot sequins checker small bag, J.Marc small bag, snapshot color block saffiano small camera bag, charms and trinkets small saddle bag, recruit small saddle bag, classic calf mini saddle, Gotham EW tote are the bags that totally comfort my senses. This spring the overarching trend in handbags is all about prints, floral and cheerful fun.

These bags are impossibly vivacious and expressive and make a woman look more graceful than ever. If you look closely these are the bags with details that are more of personality driven unlike those pieces that creep unnecessarily into the culture of ‘trends-following’. You might come across news of Kylie Minogue or Taylor Swift or Kris Jenner or Chrisy Tiegen doing the rounds on pages every day with bags by Marc Jacobs out and about in town. And indeed they appear to be so attractive that we could barely take our eyes off them. One of the best things about Marc Jacobs is that this designer is quite well aware of translating runway shimmer to reality, which I mostly see lagging in other designers. He aims at bringing the mirage to sheer reality. It was only last month that a fellow colleague of mine bought a bag by Jacobs and awhile later the bag stole the limelight. I couldn’t sleep less imagining the bag in my closet.

For spring’16 the bags are simply as enticing a dream to carry and flaunt with confidence. Bags by Marc are not only relegated or suitable for runway art work; they indeed look equally beautiful over the shoulders.  So this spring set your own fashion claim.

The S Parade Handbags

Akin to what my last blog was about- The T Theory, this time I have got you, the same old but in a unique way. Curious? Follow then.

Let me give you a brief insight- this time we will talk about three designer handbags, namely, Stella McCartney, Salvatore Ferragamo and Saint Laurent. I’m sure you will embrace your bag even more after reading it. Stay and you shall find it yourself.

A woman herself of sexy femininity could have made something as beautiful as Falabella. Totes, cross body, clutches, wallets, backpacks, tech cases and charms are styles that you see women embracing all the time. “The Falabella has attitude shouting about it”, says Stella McCartney. The bag bliss about this luxury label is so beautiful that you can spend your whole life dreaming about it. Trust me; I do it all the time. These bags are as sumptuous as they are feminine. I do not usually recommend repeating bags but for this designer I might do it myself without any complaints. And it also never becomes a topic of talk and debate among your gal pals. As long as you carry the right bag at the right place, anyone is barely bothered about how many of those you pocket in your arsenal. Stella sometimes can be all about surprises. Especially when you get quality, you resist sulking or mulling over how much you spent in buying that one perfect bag. Isn’t so?

Falabella shaggy deer fold over tote, leopard alter pony small tote, tan Falabella shaggy deer fringed small tote are suitable for denim wear. I would suggest that anytime. And then there are nonchalantly chic and effortlessly gorgeous clutches- quilted clutch, shaggy deer clutch etc. At any point, I can say that you carry so and so and you can do better than the entourage of stylists or experts. It wasn’t until it was eventually a new lesson to learn that it became a story to tell you readers.

Even if you are reading the blog for the sake of trivia for your next pool party (people usually confuse it to be more about bikini whereas your slippers, shades and bag also turn out to be indispensable), Stella McCartney’s bags do that with all the projection of lively spirit.

Next on our parade list is Salavtore Ferragamo. Honestly, a few years back I could barely spell it correctly. Top handles and satchels, totes, shoulder bags and hobos, crossbody and messengers, fiamma and clutches- pick in your cart and flaunt them merrily. These blogs are not mere your getaway rhythmic mood boosters but a way to visit your inner common sense about fashion. I seldom come across women who complain how they are not able to judge the right bag for the right outfit. That’s hard work but once you have sown the seeds, the fruit must be saccharine. Needless to say, we learn a lot from people around us. I would like to add, not necessarily it turns out to be the apt way every time. Imagine Beyonce or Karlie Kloss put on a very creative layering and a xyz bag. What is the credibility of imitating the celebrity, spending pounds and dollars to get the similar bag and getting a dismissive result?So here me on this- trust your instinct!

For lack of a better way of saying this- you need not save three months of your salary that when put together would let you buy any of these bags. Because you might just get them for way too less and no counterfeit product- Darveys is the solution. I would encourage you to buy a Salavtore Ferragamo bag here in half the price then putting an order on net-a-porter or Bloomingdales or visiting Saks Fifth Avenue in person.

I say, whenever you are looking forward to kick some bad habits or trying to get over heartbreak, picture one of these bags in your mind, pamper yourself enough and buy them immediately. I am sure no medicine or therapy could be better than loving what you owe. I am sure each time you go out to shop, it never turns out to be the way you planned it. Either you get distracted or the bag gets sold out or someone’s lucky hand picks it before you do. Now won’t you like if I tell you that a place like Darveys where you can get them all the time, in much lesser amount and get extra benefits of being a member? That’s your call ladies. Each tiny thing you buy here, it will only prove an important lesson- writers are sometimes honest!

Coming back to the Parade spot, next we have on our list is Saint Laurent. Could you try spellingout Yves Saint Laurent without a bend of tongue click? I’d rather die. Anyhow, Saint Laurent is on our list because their saddles bags do not look like they come right off a ranch. Funny, isn’t it? But that’s what I have observed about a lot other luxury brands- Big promises and null results. You could always opt for spacious buckets or rounded bowlers here, without committing to anything awful. It offers you all- from top handles to mini bags. Classic small sac de jour bag in black grained leather and white and black python embossed leather, classic nano sac de jour bag in white and black python embossed leather, classic large monogram saint Laurent satchel in lipstick red graine de poudre textured matelassé leather and small festival backpack in natural and black leopard woven polyester and cotton and black leather- are those that I would recommend my readers to buy.

Like so many of our lifelong fashion choices and how we evolve with the time make us only better as we move on. I believe the biggest mistake I made in terms of my fashion choices was buying a pair of studded boots. Ironically they are still in one of the corners of my closet. I guess, honestly, I do not even wish to get rid of them any sooner. We must learn to embrace the best we have and never stop improvising on ourselves.

All T’s this winter!

Next time a fellow colleague of yours shows you her latest handbag she received from her beau, turn around and walk away wearing one of the T bags. Shunned she would be. Bewildered about what does T stand for? Tods. Period. Ted Baker. Period.Tory Burch.That’s how I want my wardrobe to be in order to deal with the trembling winters.

Yesterday on my way home, I noticed a woman, auburn hair down her back and minx fur coat over her shoulders- a beauty was she but until I found out that she had missed on something. A great bag to complete the look, I would say. Now it more appeared to be an incomplete and half-done ensemble rather a look to blow away my mind. You know what did I do? Ironically, took a right and left.

I often wonder why women when pay or do heavy purchases, spend blindly on pants, gowns, even lingerie but never bags. Or even if they do, you know how they get it? So it only concludes one thing. Either they are too ignorant how to pair-up pieces or they are too lethargic not to carry one. In both the cases you lose. Wonder how? Stand straight with your back arched in front of the mirror. Now put on the most desirable outfit you can at the moment. Sheepishly put away the bag that you are carrying. If you still like yourself, you’d probably read my blog further.

It’s not always necessary to wear a satchel or a bowler, but technically it also solves a lot of purposes. You can carry mostly everything you’d need when you are busy getting a tan or grooving at a night club. Next question you’d ask is how you would know which bag to carry with what outfit. I say, it is actually rocket science. Most of the times, most of the women are really not aware of what they are up to. And most of these times they end up making heavy mistakes of holding the ‘wrong bag’.

Guess what, I am here! I hope this blog solves your problem quite aesthetically. And because it’s winters, we say go by our theory- The T Theory.

First, let me tell you about Tods.You can quite make out if I’d say Cate Blanchet and Tod. Got it? No, she isn’t the muse but she often carry this brand. Tod’s wave bag, Tod’s flower bag, Tod’s joy bag, Tod’s cape bag, Tod’s mask bag and Tod’s note bag will give you happiness more than you require.

Now let us look at Ted Baker. They give you a lot (only if you pay them!);from petite clutches to roomy totes- any one of these and you will find gravity defying. A cross-body, backpack, bowler, clutch, flight, hobo, key ring sets, shopper, shoulder bag, totes, travel, travel sets and weekender- Well I told you, it gives you quite a lot! Top 10 bags by Ted Baker are really more like a hundred for them always do the needful. Take a bow, buckets of style, stripe it lucky, think inside the box, carry on, wild card, power prints, pretty petals, got your back and double up are those that you’d immediately fall in love with.

Would you not find it enticing and anticipating if I tell you that Victoria Secret Angel Lily Aldridge is the face of Tory Burch? C’mon do not browse now! Indeed that’s true. Satchels, shoulder bags, baby bags, cross body, mini bags, clutch, convertible, hobo; open-top, top-handle; tote and zipper top are what you’d get here. Speaking of Tory Burch admirers, head right this way- they not only give you variety in style but also in material- chain, fur and shearling, leather, mixed and Saffiano. Basically, I love how they name their collection- totally worth having a look at- 797, Britten, Fleming, Frances, Marion and Robinson.

Have you ever run into someone carrying a Tory Burch? What does it make you feel? I’d feel as tragic as you would. Tragic because you are not the owner of the bag of course.I believe more than your pants or blouse, the shoes and bag speak volumes about your style statement. One might go the wrong way in prints and color block dresses but ‘the right bag’ will only take you right. Ask me.

Also this time of the year makes you a bit dull. Now mind imagine when a stranger asks you where did you purchase that bag from? I would feel more than delighted. Another thing to take in concern is that you should avoid carrying shoulder or backpacks as the more and more can sometimes get bore.

I just now happened to find something helpful for you people. Jordana Brewster and Jessica Alba spotted carrying Tory Burch respectively. I call it a treat for the eyes.

Jessica Alba, HaileeSteinfield, Emmy Rossum, Brooklyn Decker, Jaime King and CamilaAlves seem to be all fond of Burch bags. And why wouldn’t one be? After all whether it’s your birthday or your best friend’s baby shower or your own get together, Tory’s statement pieces and incredible staples alays gets you edgy. Moreover they are insanely accessible. Some say that her bags are so versatile because even though she is a New Yorker, deep inside there is also a bohemian side to it. Last year before I could realize I went from day to night event carrying the same Tory bag and to my amazement because of the versatility it did not put me in any kind of embarrassment.

In all this blog doesn’t only tell you about anything superficially but the depth are to know the perfect combination to carry at the perfect opportune moment. And it’s you to decide unless of course you can manage to hire a stylist for yourself.
