Cross Body bags for summer 2013

 in Bay Area Fashion / General Fashion / Handbags  tagged clutches / cross body bags / madewell / outfits / spring 2013 by

Summer is fast approaching and this means Fashionistas everywhere will be on the go for the warm weather season. When you are on the go, the last thing you want to fiddle with is a clunky handbag! This means the best option for hitting amusement parks, county fairs, local zoos and more is the cross body handbag.

Cross body handbags come is many shapes and sizes according to what you need. If you need to carry a water bottle, snacks for the kids and more, then a large cross body bag is the way to go. If all you need is cash, credit cards, keys and your mobile device, then you can get away with a small and petite cross body bag. If you are planning a vacation and need the ease of a cross body bag for daytime yet the sophistication of a clutch for evening, then a convertible cross body is the best option.

The cross body bag has gained in popularity over the past few seasons and is showing no sign of slowing down. This versatile handbag style can be spotted every season on both the runways and the street. Look for a fun color to add pop to a neutral outfit or sass to an already color filled ensemble. For more practical use, opt for a neutral color such as black, brown or cream. (Hint) A neutral cross body bag will be easy to use for traveling and offers cross-season appeal.

We included a few fabulous cross body bags around the web and included them in this article.

Shop spring handbags for fall 2013

 in Handbags / Shopping / Trends  tagged fall 2013 / spring 2013 / summer 2013 by

Now that the fall/winter 2013/2014 runway shows have ended, we have a snapshot into the upcoming trends for the cool weather season. This makes investment shopping an easier job as we head out into the shops for the spring 2013 season. One of the largest purchases a Fashionista can make for the spring season is a new handbag! Therefore, it is important to look for a handbag which will not only be fabulous for the spring 2013 season, but will work perfectly for the fall 2013 season as well.

The fall 2013 runways gave us small and medium sized handbags in rich autumn hues, deep winter colors and bright shades of cobalt blue, emerald green, yellow and red. With this color palette in mind, fall handbags from the runway were structured yet made with soft fabrications. The silhouettes included shoulder bags, clutches for both daytime and evening, hobo handbags and satchels.

With these runway trends in mind, we know that for spring 2013 we can find bright colors, we may find some autumn hues, and the size of the handbag is perfectly in line with the current season. Hobo handbags have not been in style for a few seasons, so this is a silhouette shoppers may easily find on sale! Love that! What better way to wear a new trend for fall than with a great deal!

Satchels, shoulder bags and clutches have been hot for the past three years, therefore, these styles are easy to find on store shelves right now. The most important factor in choosing a shoulder bag, satchel or clutch for spring 2013 which will offer longevity into fall/winter 2013/2014 is the color.

Look for handbags in neutral hues such as black, ivory, white, beige and shades of brown as well as bright hues. These will be the easiest handbags to find during the spring season which will carry into early 2014. To help inspire your handbag shopping at the investment level, we found a few fabulous spring 2013 handbags around the web which will be perfect for fall/winter 2013/2014! We assembled these beautiful handbags into the shopping widget below. To shop this trend, click on the photo of the handbag you love and you will be taken to the online shop where the handbags are for sale. Love that!

Happy shopping, and stay fabulous
