Lusting over Arm Candy

I have a thing for bags....I know, terrribly original. I love how a bag can add a whole new dimension to an outfit and pull everything together. And how the right bag can distract from the lacking outfit you through on to go grab coffee. This season there are so many to die for pieces that it was hard to limit my list. Many of these bags I believe will become classics yet they all offer a modernity that you want now.

First up.....The Cara Delevingne Bag from Mulberry

I can't even just pick one of these bags! I love the range in colour, textures and materials. The gold rivets on the taupe leather bag are GORGEOUS and I don't think I've seen rivets done this luxuriously since the Alexnader Wang Rocco. I love that this bag is still classic in the Mulberry traditional style but the attitude of Cara Delevingne is infused with the ability to wear the bag as a back pack. The bag is quitessetially Cara. English class with a fun, modern edge.

Grab the Clutch.....Aritzia's Six Eleven Huggable Clutch Bag

Aritzia has been a Canadian Fashion gem for quite some time and this season they have added their own in house brand of leather goods. Six Eleven offers a wide variety of modern, uncomplicated design that is meant to be loved and lived in. This supple leather clutch will just get better with age, with the folds and wear-LOVE. It will take you from work at the office to drinks wth the girls and elevate those weekend errands.

Just the Necessities......Givenchy Antigona Bambi Pouch

I have a soft spot for Disney and I love when it's incorporated into accessories in a non-cheesy-tacky way. Ricardo Tisci has truly brought street cred to the house of Givenchy. Between his close relationship with the Kardsashian-West's and his very active instagram account he is becoming the House of Givenchy. I love pouches. Like many, I carry way too much with me on a day to day basis and a pouch makes me carry only what I truly need. This pouch offers whimsy and high fashion in a sweet accessory that will add oomph to any outfit.

Crossbody Love..........Chloe Drew Medium Chain Shoulder Bag

It is no secret that I have a thing for the French label Chloe. It combines French bohemian with a modern touch. This bag is a perfect evening bag but can easily elevate your day wear to French girl cool. The bohemian shape with the modern finishings of the leather is refreshing. The gold hardware is on point and the chain strap is a feminine touch. This bag will for sure be a classic that you can pass on to your grand daughter.

Comfy as Sweats........Roots Roxi Bucket Bag

Roots track pants are ubiquitously Canadian and are more of a warm hug of comfort than a pair of sweat pants. This bag is the epitome of a Canadian bucket bag. The leather will improve with age and will go through your life without a worry. This bag has the perfect amount of bohmian that will make it a staple for your Fall wanderings and a festival staple in the Spring to come. And when the bucket bag trend comes and goes (let's be honest) you will be so very pleased that you bought a classic that can be brought out next time around.
