Five Must Have Bags for Fall

Curious as to the perfect Fall must have bags? Look no further! 
Fall fashion is surely one of my favorites--who doesn't love layering chunky sweaters with fashionable scarves, tall boots and leather leggings? I certainly do! But the perfect Fall outfit is not quite perfect unless it consists of an adorable bag. And hey, it's almost Holiday season...so why not buy yourself an early present?

1. The Oversized Clutch
3.1 Phillip Lim - $450

The oversized clutch is a necessity and a staple. But even better than that, right now, it's insanely popular! This oversized clutch is perfect for the Fall because not only is the shape and size so versatile, but it's also THE 'it' color of the season! This subtle yellow is currently appearing all over the runways, on celebrities, and in magazines. So why not incorporate the season's hottest color in one of the hottest bag silhouettes?

2. The Shoulder Bag
Rachel Zoe - $595

Shoulder bags are clearly the most utilitarian silhouette...how else can we text and hold our Starbucks at the same time? This one is absolutely perfect. The shape is so unique and fun, while the mahogany color is rich and classic. With this bag, you simply cannot go wrong.

3. The Satchel
Frye - $398

I am absolutely in love with this new trend. This bag is so perfect for Fall with its distressed leather and coloring. But my favorite part has got to be the shape and hardware of this bag. The look is so effortless and chic that you truly can wear it wherever and whenever.

4. The Statement Bag
Alexander Wang - $895

My favorite part of Fall is bringing out the tall boots, the chunky sweaters, and the leggings and jeans. Layering is certainly one of my favorite trends. But sometimes, when it's cold, we sacrifice our style for warmer more comfortable pieces. This is precisely why this cute Alexander Wang bag is great for the colder months. Pair it with an all black and cozy ensemble and you're still crazy fashionable!

5. The Classic Bag 
Chanel - $4,300

Okay, so this bag isn't the most affordable bag, but it certainly is a something you have forever. This bag is the iconic Chanel flap bag that truly can never go out of style. It will look great with just about anything and is versatile enough to wear during the day or at night. The heavy hardware and chain will make you stand out and make your Fall look flawless.
