Mirrored handbags are back! While metallic handbags have been in style for quite some time, highly polished, mirrored bags have come and go. Well, they are currently in go mode!

This fall 2023 season, you will see many styles of highly polished, mostly silver, handbags on store shelves. You can find a mirrored handbag in almost style of bag you can think of except extra-large bags. The mirrored bags we are seeing for fall 2023 are mainly, mini, small and medium in size. While a few large ones exist, the main trend is on the medium or smaller side.

In my personal opinion, mirrored bags are a huge trend, and the only way to make this an investment purchase is to buy a dressy clutch or mini bag which can also be used for formal affairs. Otherwise, mirrored bags for daytime are going to be a one or two season wonder. I think the heart is super cute to use formally as well as any clutch or small, wallet-on-chain sized bag, such as the chain bag shown above.

While this trend is marketed as a daily handbag trend, you have to remember these bags are mirrored. What happens when you touch a mirror? Fingerprints and smudges happen, that’s what! If you go all-in on this trend, be sure to carry a small, soft cloth with you to rub out any smudges which accumulate during the day.

So, what is my take on this trend in handbags for fall? I say, if you want a fun bag and you don’t mind it being good for one or two seasons, go all in! If you are looking more for an investment handbag, but love how the mirrored handbags look, go for a mini bag, clutch or smaller style. This way, when the trend ends, you are left with a handbag you can wear to formal and semi-formal events.

Throughout the decades there have been fragrance trends, hot selling perfume products, and heavily advertised fragrances. Despite this money-making industry and push to make a perfume popular, there are certain fragrance brands, designers, and scents which have withstood the test of time, changing tastes, trends, and lack of heavy advertising. These are the classics and the best-selling fragrances of our time.

Chances are, you have heard of most, if not all, of these perfumes. There are different levels of popular and classic fragrances. We have pure perfume, eau de parfum, eau de toilette, cologne, and eau de cologne. When you sort through these timeless scents, you will also see price points barely over one hundred dollars and others in the hundreds; as if they are trying to be a thousand dollars! This means, there is a classic fragrance in every price point, and for everyone. You won’t have to break the bank to purchase an investment fragrance. Love that!

What I love about these classic perfumes is that they transcend generation. Fragrances which were popular in the 1980s are still popular now, which means the silent gen, boomers, GenX, Millennials, and GenZ are all fans of these timeless perfumes. Isn’t that fabulous? We might not agree on many topics, but we can all agree a beautiful fragrance transcends time and generation.

I showcased my favorite best-selling fragrances in the collage above, but there are many more! Scroll through the shopping widget below to see all the fragrances which are classic, best-selling, and have been around for ages.

What is your favorite classic perfume? I love don’t be shy by Kilian, Chanel no. 5 and everything from Lancome.
