Fall must have: messenger bag

People say you can learn everything about a woman just by looking inside her handbag. Well, my bag is such a mess sometimes.
Handbags are one of the main accessories I come to think about when contemplating over my look for the day. Bags complete your image. What are you today? A sexy office chick, a shopping girl, a bitchy critic or a romantic hottie? Make sure your bag reflects your mood.
Bags can be super trendy and glam, but it’s so nice when they’re also roomy. Large bags have been really popular lately, and the trend seems to last. This fall, bags to be compared to large handbags in the aspect of room, style, and glam are messenger bags. They’re perfect for a big city girl as a great hands-free-accessory.
Messenger bags and cross-body bags are a big in-thing this fall. Designers include them in their collections and celebs show how much they love this accessory. This season’s bag offering is patent leather, chain accents and perfectly party-size purses.
I loved Marc Jacob’s scarlet patent leather messenger bag that looked both chic and casual perfect for a day out with a handsome guy or a girly night in the city.
Gwen Stefani’s L.A.M.B. cross-body bag, on the other hand, is pretty funky and stylish, and the pattern is pretty original.
Messenger bags can become more than just an accessory, some of them are large enough to put your laptop in, and some are pretty tiny for this kind of bags so can be sported for a date as a part of your night city glamour chic.
Designers advise, but you choose.
Does your today’s bag reflect your real mood and attitude?

Celebrity Inspired Bags Are the Latest Fashion

 

Recent news has it that supermodel Kate Moss will be designing handbags for Longchamp. Celebrities designing exquisite apparels and accessories and most of them are successful in making their designs popular among the masses. But how are celebrity inspired bags different from the celebrity designed ones?
Often during Red Carpets, award functions and film festival, we see stars and superstars sporting stunning apparels as well as equally exquisite accessories. Designers know that such occasions are best to promote their designs. Hence, they make celebrities carry clutches, handbags and purses designed by them so that the designer gets promoted. But it is not possible for the common masses to afford such expensive handbags. Hence, a new trend of celebrity inspired bags has started where manufacturers design bags that are designed by other designers and are famously promoted by some glamorous star at some event or the other.
 
Well, everyone wants to save some money and there is nothing wrong or shameful in it, especially in these recession times. Today's world economic condition is that people can't afford to go about spending money mindlessly on frivolous things when there are other necessities to consider. For many years now designers bragged about the quality and style of their designs and made the common masses believe that unless you spend a thousand bucks on a handbag you won't get a good one. This idea has undergone a change in recent times as various manufacturers have incorporated celebrity styles in their products and at the same time upgraded the quality of the items. Hence, these days you will find very little difference, as far as quality of material is concerned, between designer handbags and the celebrity inspired ones.
Hence, get rid of the misconception that inspired bags are made of cheap materials and very low in quality. Rather, they are good quality stuff that can be used in the same way as any original designer bag is used. The only difference being lies in their prices. So, why not save some bucks and yet stay in fashion with these inspired bags.
Such handbags have gained in popularity because fashion trends keep changing very fast. It becomes very difficult to keep pace with them if such products are sold at expensive rates. So, even when a particular style of bag goes out of fashion you won't regret much. There would be no regret regarding the amount you spent on the old one or the amount you will have to spend on buying the new ones to remain in sync with the latest trends.

Celebrity Fashion Trends in Women's Boots

 

So unless you haven't left your house or dorm room since late September, the chances are pretty good that you've noticed that a number of boot trends are in full swing in preparation for the winter season. Fashion is finicky and trends are forever changing. Here's a look at three of the trends in boots you should keep an eye on.
Top designers must have been watching old westerns when working this trend into their designs for Fashion Week. This trend is back in full swing, updated with chunky heels and more buckles than any cowboy would find necessary. Frye is always a great brand to look at when looking for premium boots, and they have a great selection of cowboy styles. If you'd rather not spend as much on a trend that might not be here next fall, try Steve Madden for quality boots at a lower price point
. 

Since you're not a cowboy who uses a horse for transportation, you can sport your boots with jeans for a good old western look, leggings, or a cute skirt. Even if you have great legs, it's probably not advisable to show them off with your new boots and a pair of daisy duke shorts, a la Jessica Simpson, as we move into the winter months. That look might just attract a bit too much attention.
Perhaps the most daring trend in fashion so far this year, over the knee boots are perhaps a bit too dramatic for the taste of most women not directly involved in the fashion industry. Even without heels, these boots are attention grabbing, sexy, and one hundred percent fashion-forward. They can be worn, well, however you wish to wear them: with mini skirts, over your favorite pair of skinny jeans, with shorts, or over leggings.
For leggy women with the self-confidence to rock these boots, the effect can be quite stunning, especially when the boots feature heels as well. For shorter women, this is one trend you might wish to steer clear of.
Love them or hate them, Uggs probably aren't going anywhere anytime soon. They might be looked back on as one of the great fashion mishaps of the 2000s, but for now they're here to stay. Stay and keep your legs and feet warm throughout the bitter cold winter months. If you live in an area that is frequented by snow, these boots are always a great addition to your winter wardrobe, no matter how ugly you find them.
If you have old Uggs that need a bit more fur, check out the Ugg website for the insole replacements that will keep your old boots just as warm as ever. If you're an Ugg fan on the market for a new pair, try a pair of the sweater Uggs that are popular on college campuses right now.
 

If you really just can not bring yourself to purchase a pair of traditional Uggs, try one of the newer styles. The "Highkoo" and the "Kensington" really don't look much like Uggs at all despite their warmth. The "Knightsbridge" gives you a slightly more streamlined look than the traditional Uggs as well.
All in all, boots are a must have for this seasons fashionable women, no matter if you live in frosty New York, or Sunny L.A. these are a fashion must have.
