Stylish yet casual handbags you can wear everyday

 

leather bucket bag
The leather bucket bag is one of the most fashionable and practical handbag styles for my everyday’s. If you are lazy like me to keep checking your bag for everyday essentials, then these bucket bags are a great dumping accessory. Almost anything fits in here including a notebook or netbook.
It may sound as if I go on a picnic everyday and not to work, but I do like to carry some snacks or health bars with me along with my iPad. So obviously instead of carrying too many bags, I prefer using a handbag that has ample room for these.

What I love about these leather bucket bags is that they are large enough to fit everything into them. Yet they have compartments and inside zippers to keep your essentials neatly organized. So, I can keep my electronic devices like mobile phone separate from my makeup.

The other advantage of these bags it that you can pair them with almost any outfit. Their fun shape is cool enough for clubbing and yet works appropriate. I don’t have to change my handbag every now and then just because it is not versatile.
Even when I am running errands, a lot of smaller ingredients fit right into the handbag, instead of asking for a separate carry bag for them. These casual bags rank high on the fashion scale and yet are sensible enough for everyday use.
You can pick from a range of solid vibrant colors like yellow or pink or stick to the regular blacks and browns. There are stylish designs available in a blend of suede and leather or canvas too.

Carry an animal print bag with confidence

 

leopard print bag

Animal print bags are in vogue this season and they make any outfit look classy and chic. According to me, a leopard print bag is very classic and is a print that goes with most outfits in the wardrobe.
An important thing to keep in mind when using animal print designs is that one should have just one animal print accessory in the entire outfit and avoid overdoing it. For example, when you are carrying your leopard print bag, you can wear a crisp white shirt and blue jeans if you are going for a casual look and you can wear your favorite little black dress if you are going for a more formal look. For both the outfits wear shoes that do not overshadow or clash with the bag. A classic black pump or brown heels will help keep the leopard print bag the focal point of your outfit.

This bag is not only stylish but also very functional. A large leopard print bag can be used by moms who have tons of things to carry for their baby. It makes the mom look fashionable without her trying too hard. You can make a fashion statement with this bag be it for a day time or night time event. It makes your entire outfit look very polished in no time. Michael Kors has an amazing collection of the leopard print bags.
On a different note, if you are like me and try to do your bit in being green and Eco-friendly then take a look at this amazing foldable tote bag that is great to keep the groceries in and avoid plastic bags. When folded it is small and easy to carry and when opened, it can store a whole lot of things.

Biker chic

 

michael kors boots, jessica simpson boot, womens biker boots
As the saying goes, girls are both sugar and spice. So even the most feminine of women every once in a while can’t help but want to be a tough chick. Nothing helps to project that image more than womens biker boots. No matter what clothing you wear – a lacy dress, a miniskirt or  jeggings – a pair of motorcycle shoes with its buckles, chains, studs and eyelets will always add an edge to your attire.  Here are five of my favorite biker shoes:


1. Jessica Simpson Inna boot:Jessica Simpson Inna boot

A classy short pull-on boot made of rich leather, it has a harness detail at the ankle. This Jessica Simpson boot has a one and half inch heel and gives you a sophisticated yet tough look.

2. Harley Davidson Maribel boot:

When you’re talking bikes, can Harley Davidson be far behind? Get the ultimate biker look with this ruched slouchy knee-high zip-up boot. It has two buckled straps, one at the ankle and the other on the shaft, each with two layers of grommets.

3. Michael Kors St Marks open toe pull-on boot:

This sassy peep-toe leather ankle boot has a four-inch heel, three rows of eyelets and a metal buckle accent. With an edgy design, these Michael Kors boots are sure to help you garner a lot of attention.

4. Alexander McQueen biker jacket bootie:Alexander McQueen biker jacket bootie

Want a shoe that reminds you of a bomber jacket? Here’s the answer: made of soft leather, cutout details and golden hardware, this peep toe bootie has a front zip with a skull logo and high heels. All the better to look rough and tough!

5. Belle by Sigerson asymmetric-zip wedge bootie:

Here’s a leather wedge bootie that portrays a suave yet strong persona. It has a functional wraparound zipper with a piston shaped slider.
If you love the tough but sweet look, you’re in luck! Biker chic is the “it” thing right now. This look never really goes out of fashion completely, so when you do get yourself an edgy boot, make sure it’s of good quality. Surely you can’t look tough with boots that are tacky!

A stylish and practical women accessory

 

hobo handbags, Hobo diaper bag, Hobo leather bagYou will find most women have several bags in their closet for different occasions. There is an everyday work bag, a nightlife bag and of course a weekend bag. Of the range of bags available, the hobo style handbags stand out for their style and practical design. A crescent shape, a slouchy posture and a long shoulder strap characterizes a hobo handbag. Look wise it tends to slump when set down giving it a chic look. You can stuff as much as you can like in it because it seems to have a bottomless bottom.  It tends to be roomier than other bags and it is great for running around on a weekend for errands.
This style of purse is named as a hobo since it resembles the shape of the bindle on a stick that hobos are portrayed as carrying over their shoulder in drawings and comics. It is available in different sizes, shapes and material. My personal favorite is the leather hobo bag. A handmade leather hobo handbag due to its superior look and finish will bring years of enjoyment and use. It is a stunning and smart everyday alternative.
If you have to bring a diaper bag, might as well have some personality with a hobo diaper bag. The hobo style also has the new moms covered who want to hang on a bit of style, despite the changes in lifestyle. It is sturdy, stylish and roomy with lots of pockets inside and out to keep everything organized. You can even store you wallet and keys, in addition to the baby clothes, diapers, nuks, bottle etc. Best of all, it could easily pass for a fashionably over-sized purse!

Get a handbag for fall that’s practical and stylish

 

Tignanello handbags
I love carrying handbags that exude my personal style, without compromising on the fashion quotient. So, my pick is always something that is trendy and also practical. Tignanello handbags are a great fall accessory for everyday use.
These handbags may not be top of the line like Gucci or Louis Vuitton but they are affordable and definitely feasible. I can carry them to work, for a casual outing or even for a night out. They come in neutral colors and are a sensible pick when you don’t want your outfits to clash with the handbag.
Most of my fall clothes are brightly colored with bold patterns, as per fashion trends. So, I don’t want my bags to clash with them or be the same color is them. Contrast is the mantra this fall and Tignanello handbags give you an array of neutral and subtle colors.

Their designs are beautiful and extremely functional. Made with good quality soft leather, the bags are very durable too. The rich leather texture is blended with fine detailing. Even the interiors are lined with silk fabric to retain the softness.
Plenty of compartments are provided inside the bag to keep your essentials organized. There is enough room in these practical handbags, without compromising on the fashion quotient. So, even if you dump a lot of things, your bag won’t appear overfilled.
To ensure maximum comfort, when carrying them for longer periods, the straps are wide. They are also adjustable so you can use them as a sling across the chest or as a regular handbag too.

The best stylish and practical purses

 

Fossil vintage re-issue weekender
How do you define a stylish and practical purse? For me it should rank high on the following three factors: sophistication, efficient in holding all of my essentials and fashionable.
If a bag lacks any of these, then it is definitely restrictive! Either it is too small to store your essentials like phones, makeup, etc. or it is too big to exude some level of sophistication. Then there are bags, which combine feasibility with elegance but are really not stylish!

After a good deal of researching, one bag that adhered to my requirements was the Fossil vintage re-issue weekender. Now let me add another pointer here, which I did not mention before, the price!
Fossil vintage re-issue weekender
Yes, I do want it all… Who doesn’t? If am getting an affordable designer pick, why should I settle for anything that makes me break the bank. And since I am getting quality at a great price, I am not going to miss on that!
What I love about the re-issue weekender is their line of flexible and trendy designs. You have the smoothness and sophisticated leather totes, which are work appropriate and can be carried to casual outings too. Then there are eco-friendly canvas bags, with a light touch of leather. It is perfect for everyday wear and adds a chic style to your outfits, without trying too hard.
These stylish purses offer ample zippers and compartments to keep my stuff organized but don’t compromise on the fashion quotient. They combine stylish elegance with a casual frill, which makes them flexible enough to be sported with all kinds of outfits.

How to dress like a true Texas Longhorn fan

 

longhorn bags
One of the best ways to show you are a loyal Texas Longhorn fan is by sporting Longhorn bags. And even if you are not a fan, you would definitely love these fashionable and practical bags. Yet, the true spirit of a loyal fan is shown through these bags.

I personally love the unique Longhorn logo on these bags. They reveal that you are indeed a fan but offer enough subtlety and elegance to be carried around for occasions other than games. For instance, this quilted black bag tote is a versatile accessory that is work appropriate and also fun to be carried to a game.
You can keep all your essentials in there, including a longhorn hat or jacket, if you are off to see the game straight from work. And what better way there can be to show off that you are a true fan, without overdoing it.
If you don’t want to sport a jersey on a game day, then accessories like this oversized Veteran Jersey tote bag is a stylish alternative. The bag features a team logo on the front with a printed team name over a number 1 on the back. It is finished with jersey-type material for a winning look! The roomy bag can be doubled as a beach or gym bag too.
To complement this bag, you can flaunt some chic caps with the team logo or go for trendy jackets or even watches featuring the same. So, go ahead and dress like a true Texas Longhorn fan!

Holiday gifts for tween girls

 

Mickey Mouse handbag
Picking a holiday gift for a tween niece/ daughter or relative? Most of you probably end up buying something that you would give a teenager but don’t forget, she is around 10-12 years or what you call a preadolescent! She is still a child though she pretends to be all cool and behave like a teenager.
So, get her something that can double for a teenager and a kid too! One of my top picks here is a real purse. I had seen these awesome Mickey Mouse handbags that were fashionable, trendy and yet did not make her feel too overgrown.

You might be thinking that isn’t Mickey Mouse too childish? This is where trendy designs, patterns and shapes come in. They differentiate these fashionable bags from the kiddies or primary school backpacks. And the best part is there is something available for different personalities too.
Mickey Mouse handbag
For instance, if she loves to go to parties, get her a clutch style purse with digital Mickey Mouse. What makes it cool are digital imprints, studs and embellishments that draw a fine line between what’s for kiddos and what works for tweens.
You can also get her something that’s practical and can be taken to school like a Mickey Mouse tote. It’s big enough to keep all her school necessities and yet fashionable. These functional bags can be used for a day out with her friends also.
Just make sure that you don’t over-board with the Mickey Mouse thing. If you are not too confident about colors, try out something in black and white, which is more subtle.

Purses that match every outfit

 

taupe leather purse
If I am looking for a safe and versatile color in handbags, then taupe leather purse is one my first picks. The very mention of taupe makes me think of the stylish ‘Smilla’ from Gucci. But of course, that is a bit too overpriced for me, so I make do with some similar styles.

Now taupe is actually a very vague color term. It can mean almost any shade ranging from warm grays to grayish-brown or even brownish-gray. The colors tend to overlap with the neutral tan. And designers too, keep having disagreements on what exactly is taupe.
Well for me this color is a safe choice, something you cannot go wrong with. Here are my top reasons for picking taupe, compared to brighter hues-
  • The versatile shade goes with all kinds of outfits. It’s work-appropriate and yet can be dressed up for a girl’s night out. A cool brooch or metallic purse-hanging does the trick
  • The neutral color can be carried with reds, browns, blues, green, etc. For those who are planning to invest in high-end designer bags like Louis Vuitton, Gucci or Prada, this is a color that will never go out of style
You can alter the look of the bag by simply changing the way you carry it or dress up. For instance, sport it at a holiday party with a sequined short dress to add that oomph factor.
Remember the flick Ocean’s Eleven? Here, Danny Ocean (George Clooney) had asked Rusty Ryan (Brad Pitt), when viewing a camera feed, why back hallways of the casino were painted in this color. And the answer was ‘They say taupe is very soothing.’ So go ahead and enjoy this soothing and fashionable color!

Top 5 designer leather satchels bags

 

leather satchel bags
When we ladies go shopping for accessories, we make sure each one is from the best brand in the market. And a leather satchel bag is one the top priorities among women accessories.  A leather satchel is a usual bag that has one unusual feature- it mostly comes with a long strap. Earlier, a satchel used to come with long straps that you could put over one of your shoulder so that it diagonally crosses the body. It also used be a lot like a soft briefcase. But now, you get such huge variety; I found the satchel of my type easily. Now put your regular handbags away, and try these top designer leather satchels handbags.
The Chloe Marcie-large leather satchel will seem like an ordinary satchel to you initially. But when you take a closer look, you will find it an exceptionally beautiful handbag for everyday use. This neutral shaded satchel is very canny and innovative. Its catchy features include a maze looking flap that hides a pocket in the front. Its strap is wrapped in a very distinct way in the same leather. It has got pockets in the inside to help you be a little more organized. Make your everyday brighter with this handbag.
The Prada perforated leather satchel bag is a classy, sophisticated yet trendy bag that I think, looks great when paired with formal wear or casual wear. You will find these types in Prada very rarely. So, all you office or college goers don’t miss out on this. It’s got all the space for you to crunch in cosmetics and other stuff.  With a zipper on the front, this satchel has the Prada logo showing on the top front. You can carry it off with the double handles or just put it on the shoulder with the longer strap.
The Jessica Simpson floral designed satchel bag is one bag that will best be suited in a season like spring. With frillycut-out flowers that are all over the bag and plaited handles, this bag is beautifully girly! These designer leather handbags come in three pretty colors of white, dull yellow and peony. Carry it for a day party on any plain dress for a great look.
Check out the Nancy Gonzalez croc satchel. This designer is known for its exotic and sophisticated designs. And the croc bag is just what is says. It’s a croc textured satchel which I think looks great in red especially if you pair it with some sexy red pumps and a contrasting dress. Its handle is really short and cute, around 5 inches. You will find its inner pockets and zippers useful for storage.
And the Gucci Pelham leather satchel will give you a lot of room for things like books, important papers, shopping etc.  This luxury appealing bag has two straps, the detachable long one that is braided and the short 6 inch one that is adjustable. It opens to a flap closure that has a brass hardware design to it. It’s also got a front pocket with one large compartment to crunch thing in.
If you wish for something new for the new season, try these designer satchels.

The 21st century man carries his fortune wherever he goes, and for some that fortune takes the shape of cell phone, laptops, wallets, keys, etc. How wonderful had it been if all of this fit into a pocket. Well, the dilemma comes to an end with the use of a man bag. Yes, many men are now using man bags and the product is gaining popularity by the day.

Your must-have pumps for this fall

 

Chinese Laundry HaylieI am a sucker for a cute pair of shoes and I just couldn’t help myself when I spotted the Chinese Laundry Haylie pumps.  These shoes are sleek and sexy and are great for trying to impress a date or to just look hot on girls-night-out.
The ruffled fabric that covers the foot is an elegant chiffon bordered by a silk strip. The back of the shoe is completed with a seductive zipper. A selection of colors are available including bronze, black, blush and leopard print. The bronze and blush versions would go best with a toned-down flirty look, while the black and leopard print versions work best with sexy going-out attire.

A ruffled dress or a draped skirt go well with these surprisingly comfortable pumps.  They would also work with skinny jeans and a blouse for every day wear. A few celebrities have been spotted wearing them with unique outfits.
Opting for a trendy laid-back look, Eva Longoria wore the bronze version of the pumps with boyfriend jeans, a baggy t-shirt and cute hat. Miss USA 2010, Rima Fakih wore the black version of the heels to an event and paired them with peek-a-boo tights and a short gray dress
My favorite is the blush color paired with neutral colors or light dress. Now that it’s after Labor Day, it might be worth wearing them with a camel coat or to work with a sleek blazer. The Chinese Laundry Hailey pumps are a must-have on your fall fashion wardrobe list.

Fashionable backpacks for adults

 

quilted backpack purse
I love carrying backpacks because they are functional, have a lot of space and also because they distribute the load on both shoulders. No matter how fashionable big handbags are, they sure weigh down one shoulder and you need to keep shifting them constantly.

Men are luckier in this reference, as they can sport some different varieties of backpacks. But fashion critics rarely consider these to be stylish for women. Thanks to designers like Alexander Wang, the backpack is given a new twist. Earlier, only schoolgirls would be seen carrying them. But the new fashionable backpacks are trendier, more functional and definitely a must-have accessory.
The Alexander Wang Spring 2012 collection full of handbags focused on different kinds of backpacks. The highlight of the show was that these backpacks were small and great. Yes, they are nothing like your regular, big backpack. But that’s what makes them stand apart!
If you want something more practical, then a quilted backpack purse can do the trick. Made from canvas and natural fibers, these backpacks are eco-friendly too. They are similar to the regular sized styles and so you can fit almost everything in there.
Additional feminine touches have been added to these. For example, some come with cute pink, polka dotted bows while the others infuse floral prints. You can pick from vibrant hues to solid colors that won’t get dirty very fast. And the best part is that you can wash them too!
So, the next time you are going to the gym, for a casual date with friends or even for a casual outing, you can don these backpacks in style.

The return of the ladylike structured bag

 

leather satchel bags
While the latest handbag styles have trended toward large slouchy bags with big chunky hardware, grommets and more, we are now seeing a resurgence of the more ladylike structured handbags. These bags have a vintage feel with a modern twist. Like anything in the fashion industry, if you hold onto something long enough, it will eventually come back into vogue.

Some great examples of these revived handbags with fabulous 21st century style include:
  • The Dooney & Bourke Florentine Flap Satchel:  The Flap Satchel has a very traditional form reminiscent of the structured handbags of the past, but what is different and better about this handbag is the leather. The Florentine’s Vachetta leather is casual, yet elegant, with a rich beautiful texture that is both natural looking and sophisticated, and with a patina that becomes more and more beautiful with age. The stunning but subtle gold hardware Dooney has chosen adds a distinguished elegance without overpowering its amazing leather satchel bags.
  • The Big Buddha Mia Handbag:  With its bell-like shape, distinguished handles, zipper closure and big bow on the front of the bag, this new style from Big Buddha epitomizes the ladylike trend. It has a distinctive shape that is both soft and feminine. The long shoulder strap that comes with the bag gives you the option of wearing it cross body, adding a lot of versatility to this bag for the modern woman on the go.
  • Harveys Seatbelt Bags Stella Hobo:  Although it does have the name hobo attached to it, there is not much “hobo” in this handbag!  With a feminine teardrop shape that comes in both small and large sizes, and elegant silver hardware, this satchel style handbag brings you back to the 1950s and 60s with a great vintage look that is a little retro, very functional, indestructible and super chic.
I believe absolutely in the power of women today: we can do and be anything we choose. I also believe that we, as women, can still be exquisitely feminine no matter what we do, and that we should embrace that part of ourselves. So jump on board and try out this latest fashion craze. Mom and Grandma would be proud!

Learning the high jump

 

Asics high jump shoes
Vaulting over the bar without knocking it over calls for practice and tremendous stamina. And, of course, the right shoes! Shoes that can be laced up tightly make a strong foundation for the jump. Take a look at some shoes that are ideal for high jumps:
Asics high jump shoesasics high jump shoes
High jump shoes typically have both front and rear spikes. Asics high jump shoes are a 11-pin spike that are ideal for high jump and other athletic activities. The durable shoes have a full-length outsole that provides support and traction that’s required for high jumps. The symmetrical platform makes the shoes suitable for both right and left footed jumpers.
Nike high jump shoes
Shoes for high jump need to have spikes both in the front and rear as this helps with take-off and landing. Nike high jump shoes provide synthetic overlays to aid jumping and midfoot straps to prevent slipping. They’re lightweight and have responsive cushioning that makes them comfortable for high jumps. A tapered midsole helps with the right takeoff and the 11 spikes provide the required traction.

Big handbags for busy girls

 

Puma handbag, big handbags, Marc Jacobs totes
For the past couple of years, there has been a lot of argument in the fashion world about the big handbags being overrated and not being so fashionable anymore. Every new collection launched on the fashion runway is eyed by enthusiast fashionistas to see if that big bag is here to stay or not. Girls, the good news is that even designers love these big babies!

I have been a fan of big bags for years now because they are functional, easy to carry and honestly they make me look slimmer. I mean you can totally hide those love handles and extra pounds when you carry them. Could you really ask for anything more useful? They are the perfect accessory for busy girls!
Spring 2011 is all about oversized bags, especially the hobo style. The slouchy posture of the bag makes sure that my arm is comfortably placed and has been my wardrobe staple for years. These bags have a single strap instead of two, so you don’t have to waste time or keep worrying about the extra one falling off your shoulder.
I have been a fan of Marc Jacobs totes too. If you are too busy to change your bags frequently, then this bag with tonal topstitching outlines is ideal to haul all those extra essentials. Additionally, it has enough space and compartments to keep my stuff organized. It comes in the Gettysburg blue and sunrise gold nylon, which really doesn’t get dirty that fast. The glamorous colors make it versatile enough to be carried for a night of clubbing or a romantic date.
A Puma handbag is a great option for sporty fashionistas and younger girls. Their shiny and hot purple handbag, also called sporty purse, is a must-have for gym, college or even a day out with the girls. This bag has makes an effortless style statement with its Puma logo and big size. You can keep your books, gym essentials, everyday basics and other items organized in its three-inner pockets and not bother about organizing it time and again.

Bueno purses are muy bien!

 

bueno purses
Muy bien means very good or excellent in Spanish. And when it comes to Bueno purses, I couldn’t be agreeing more. I believe that these handbags are not only trendy but functional too. The versatile line of this brand offers something for every woman, which can be paired with different dresses!
Bueno is a brand that lays emphasis on affordable styling along with convenience. Their designs give due respect to the fact that we need a lot of room and compartments for storage. So, no matter what design you choose, there’s always room for putting that extra lip gloss or sunglasses.
Even though I have bought a number of Buenos over the years, some of my top picks are-
Bueno purses
1. Bueno soft pouch handbag
This brown colored handbag features a classic croc look at the bottom. The double braided shoulder ensures comfort without compromising on the style factor. It also comes with removable key chain on the front, cell phone holder, inside zip pocket and outside pocket closes at snap.
