Bag It

Jessica De Vault, ,

If you’re on the hunt for the perfect bag or shoes, you’ll have a lot to choose from this season.

The simplest of silhouettes are upgraded to sensational heights with textured clutches this year. Functionality is also taking center stage with sophisticated backpacks and sleek duffle bags seen as practical bag of choice for women on the go.

When shopping for shoes, keep in mind that coordinating your footwear with your purse makes for a seamless look, but don’t be afraid of contrasting colors.
