How fabulous is the Veronica Beard Dash Bag! You may have noticed I have been featuring this bag in collages for quite some time. It has been number one on my wish list throughout 2025. Finally for Christmas, I gifted it to myself! Love!

The Veronica Beard Dash Bag is available in multiple sizes; I decided on the medium because I felt like it worked perfectly for daily use. I can fit my daily essential inside the bag which include my wallet, sunglasses, phone, keys, a small Kleenex package and lipstick. With those items, there is plenty of room inside the bag for extras such as snacks, gloves, and more!

There are several colors available on the Veronica Beard Dash Bag. I decided to go with classic black because, well, I love black handbags! It is timeless and easy to wear with any outfit in black. Love it!

The interior of the Dash Bag offers a double slip pocket and a zipper pocket. The clasp is magnetic and there is a removable crossbody strap. In case you are wondering about quality, it is beautiful! The leather is thick without being heavy; plus, it is soft, durable, and extremely high quality. This bag feels like it’s much more expensive than it is. In fact, it offers better quality than a lot of bags on the market right now which are well into the four figures. I am in love!

The Veronica Beard Dash Bag is definitely an investment bag. I am thrilled to have gifted it to myself!

So, if you are looking for the perfect classic belted tote, this it is! Plus, it is under $1000. Love that!

Thanks for stopping by!

How fabulous is the Veronica Beard Dash bag! I am in love! As the belted tote reigns supreme this year, the Dash bag by Veronica beard stands out as one of the hottest handbags on the street. Love it!

As you know, the belted tote is both a classic handbag style and an IT bag this year. Veronica Beard’s version offers timeless style, high quality, reasonable pricing, and perfect proportions; making it both beautiful and practical. I definitely need one in my life!

Veronica Beard offers the Dash in small, medium and large sizes. It has two top handles, a shoulder strap, and an interior packet. I am not sure which size I want to purchase, but like I said, I need one in my life! This bag is timeless and an investment handbag to wear and cherish for years to come. I highly recommend choosing a neutral color you know you will get a lot of use out of. I am leaning towards black. Love it!

New York Fashion Week was different this season; in case you hadn’t already heard. Designers showed thier spring/summer 2021 collection in a virtual format. While few designers offered in-person, outside runways shows with extremely small attendance, the majority made artistic videos which showcased thier new collections, or filmed runways without an audience and livestreamed them.

In addition to the shows I was invited to watch, I was able to watch several more designer shows than normally. Not only because I was able to view collections I am not normally invited to see in person, but because I could sit at my desk and go from show to show, instead of having to allocate travel time between shows. This was a very relaxing, and productive, way to do fashion week! Let’s take our “wins” out of this and share them!

If you had a chance to watch along with me, you may have noticed a ton of inspiraiton came from the 1980s and 1990s for spring 2021. Designers loved powersuiting, bright colors, exagerated sleeves, feminine designs, prarie silhouettes, ruffles-lots of ruffles, and a ’90’s hip-hop flair. While the ’80’s donimated, you could still see some early ’90’s floating around, and mixing in with the flashy 1980s. So, without further ado, let’s check out the biggest trends from the New York Fashion Week spring/summer 2021 runways!
