Proenza Schouler Best Night Out Bag in the Small PS1 Satchel
This is the bag I should have bought to bring with me to MAGIC and ENK this year, but alas I never bought it. This small Proenza Schouler PS1 Satchel Bag is so chic with its cross body strap and its yummy leather it is the perfect bag for travel, checking out a convention, attending Fashion Week in Milan or New York or just a night out. This bag would hold everything you need for a day out including a phone, wallet, sunnies, and mints. I lugged my stuff around in a larger bag and wished I had this great little satchel that would have not weighed me down to the tune of 10 plus pounds. If you are going to Coterie in New York City next week, don’t wait, get this bag. At least you will have less weight on you for all the walking that you will be doing at the show. I clocked 14,000 steps a day on my pedometer.
Lots of celebs love this bag including Jessica Alba, Emma Roberts, Olivia Wilde just to name a few. It is the perfect edgy subtle bag to wear casual or for a night out. It is definitely downtown chic. So if you are not a Chanel or Hermes girl, Proenza Schouler is the way to go. Jessica Alba has been seen in the large smoke and the medium black bag.
Proenza Schouler PS1 Small Satchel bag is $1225.

Prada Saffiano Tote Kate Bosworth was seen using in December
Kate Bosworth sure likes tote bags. She was seen in late December carrying a great tote bag that was recognizable by its triangle logo. This Prada saffiano tote bag in grey calfskin is gorgeous and scratch resistant which makes it such a great carryall. The bag is classic Prada with its middle zip compartment to keep your wallet and valuables safe while out and about during the day. The grey color is just the right kind of neutral so the bag looks very updated. The size is great for an iPad or a small laptop. Take this bag traveling too. It will be a great on flight carry on.
Also, Kate looks cool and chic wearing the bag with a great pair of Chloe studded leather ankle boots. She is the ankle boot queen and she always looks good in every pair she wears. These studded leather ankle boots are definitely a rock and roll twist on the cowboy boot. The gold and silver studs and the 3 buckles evoke Michael Jackson Thriller cool only Chloe can do.
The Prada Saffiano Tote in grey is available at Neiman Marcus for $2100.
The Chloe studded ankle boots in black are available at Saks.com for $1295.
Kate Bosworth’s Rag & Bone Jeans from Sundance
Kate Bosworth is my style icon because I aspire to dress like her. Her style is just so effortlessly chic that I always want to wear whatever she is wearing. Everything she wears just looks so cool. She looked cool in the cold Sundance snow this year in Utah wearing her Rag & Bone skinny jeans while carrying a Coach Bleeker Legacy bag in the classic Fawn color. What I loved about the whole outfit was the classic modern mix of a classic jeans and tote combo made modern with the skinny cut of the jeans and the vintage leather from the Coach Legacy collection that is just a bit updated in style for our modern times.
The moderate distressing on these skinny jeans gives it just the right worn in look without going over the top so they actually look like you have had them for years. The 30 inch inseam is just the right length to pair with platforms or a pair of ankle boots or a pair of Sorels for the snow. However you wear these jeans dressed up or dressed down they will become your favorite pair of go to jeans for any occasion.
Get the Rag & Bone/JEAN The Skinny Jeans seen on Kate Bosworth for $198 at Shopbop.com.
Colorblock Tote Bag Anya Hindmarch Does It Right On Trend
When thinking about the Colorblocking trend I am still not on board entirely. I like that designers have really embraced it and created shoes, bags, and dresses in tri colors that range from orange, pink, and black to the more neutral tones. As a person who generally likes neutrals, I do not think I will go for a neon colorblocked bag anytime soon, but give me a great looking colorblocked bag in neutral colors with a functional bag, I can do it. Take for instance the Anya Hindmarch Nevis Tri Color Leather Tote with its black, white, and taupe color pattern. This makes the bag really closet friendly. Think about this bag with your white pants, black flats, Jackie O sunnies, and long cashmere tunic. It is a great chic look right? How about this same bag with a great pair of skinny jeans, motorcycle boots, brown leather jacket, and black turtleneck. Again this bag does the trick. I also love the 2 big pockets outside that you can drop your cell phone and keys into while keeping your wallet tucked in to the roomy tote. The best part is the bag is lightweight and will only weigh as much as your stuff weighs so you won’t have to worry about carrying 20 pounds around with you on the crook of your arm.
Anya Hindmarch Nevis Tri Color Leather Tote for $995.
Victoria Beckham Grey Shopper Tote Bag
Victoria Beckham’s new bag collection is definitely luxe. If there is anyone who knows about quality in leather goods such as bags, she is definitely someone who knows bags. As a collector of Hermes birkin bags in every skin from crocodile to togo, Victoria Beckham has seen hand craftsmanship at the highest possible level of perfection. Why wouldn’t she now start designing her own line of bags made of the best quality leathers in the world? If you ask me why you should trust Victoria Beckham on bags, if you cannot trust someone with such discerning taste who can you trust? Everything she wears from her Isabel Marant leather jackets to her pumps are always put together with perfection. All her clothing is perfectly tailored to fit on her at all times. With that kind of discerning eye for perfection, she would only make the best looking, functional, and highest quality bags out there.
Case in point, the Grey leather shopper tote bag here is probably one of the simplest yet most elegant pieces out there at the moment. She takes a shopper tote and gives it character through its subtle light gold hardware, hidden practical detachable wallet, rolled handles, and just right gray colored leather gives this bag a timeless modern look that can take you from a luncheon at the Maison de Truffe to a dinner without missing a beat. The bag is large yes, but it has enough structure to make sure the bag is not seen as your normal LL Bean tote bag, it is an elegant bag to be reckoned with.
Victoria Beckham gray leather shopper tote for $2,700.
Jessica Alba wears Aldo Sandals in Santa Monica
Jessica Alba was seen on January 18, 2012 leaving her car to run errands in Santa Monica. She looked great as usual wearing a striped Tory Burch top, J Brand bianca high waisted jeans, and a pair of ALDO Odens Wedge Sandals. What I love about her look is that she pairs a Longchamp bohemian bag to the whole ensemble and the look is pure bohemian. After looking gorgeous at the Golden Globes in a dusty lavendar Gucci gown and then speaking to Ryan Seacrest about her new eco friendly baby product line, she looked gorgeous running errands all over town.
Get the ALDO Odens Wedge Sandals for $80.
The J Brand Bianca High waisted jeans are $215.
