There are a couple key things I always invest in each fall- one being a new bag. Every year this varies depending on the trends and my need for the bag. Last year, I chose to get a practical bag that could double as a bag for my computer and for everyday use (grabbing coffee, meeting friends, etc). This year, I've already decided that my bag choice will most likely not be the most sensible choice but a bag that makes me feel heavenly when wearing. As inspired by today's Fashionista, I am leaning more towards a structured black satchel. This Fashionista's bag jazzed up her basic outfit and added a hint of metallic to her ensemble. For a black bag like this Fashionista's, try this one from Topshop. Or if you feeling the backpack craze and want a more sensible bag choice that will work for the classroom and everyday use, I recommend this Fossil 'Vintage Reissue' bag.
My dream bag this fall will have to be the Mulberry Piccadilly holdall. Reasonable for a college student? No. A girl can dream can't she!
