Beautiful handbags are dominating the streets, runways, and everyone’s shopping list. Love this! Handbags made from high quality materials, and often made with sustainable practices in regard to materials, manufacturing or both, are what makes up the IT bag dur jour.

The spring 2024 runways have shown us that the anonymous handbag is going nowhere. We saw small and medium bags, slouchy totes and hobo, and strong attention to quality craftsmanship and materials. This is the investment dressing era and I am here for it!

Speaking of the anonymous handbag, are you familiar with Toteme? If you are a handbag fan like me, you most certainly are! Toteme introduced their handbag collection a couple of years ago and everyone is going nuts over them! So much so, that their T-Lock bag in both the standard size and clutch size, is blowing off store shelves. If you can get your hands on one without wait listing, you live a charmed life. I finally got my hands on one in the standard size, so stay tuned for my upcoming review! In the meantime, see if you can snag one online, or at least get on the wait list. Here are a few around the web:

The Mulberry Amberley is proving to be wildly popular on the streets. I am literally seeing it everywhere from back-to-school night to the supermarket, to the movie theater, the mall, and more! I feel like the only one carrying a black one, most of the ones I am spotting on the streets are blue, orange, and green. It is a beautiful investment bag, and I am in love with mine! If you have been on the fence, what are you waiting for?

Fall nail polish, boots, and Mary Janes are also hot right now. They are an easy way to update your wardrobe and add a little bit of fall while the weather is still in second summer mode.
