Does your bag stand out?
You are set with all your holiday outfits you plan to wear; velvet, polka dots, gold, metallic, and black, with a touch of teal. Not quite green for the holiday, but it's in the family and it's a subtle touch. Not too obvious but close enough.

Most women have a lot of handbags so its easy to forget about some of them, especially if they are ones that you have had for many many years. When you have that great handbag that you just had to have at the time. But when your next 'It' bag comes into your life the others get put away in the closet and can be easily forgotten.

When the Summer comes you get that nice stylish bag that is full of color but when the Fall arrives and you are not necessarily ready to stop carrying your bag that you paid all that money for. Who knows, you can put it in your closet and forget about it, then next summer there's another hot bag you want and your bag from last year is null and void. So let's get more use out of it and make our dollars stretch a little farther.
As you begin to shop for your Fall wardrobe think and consider the handbags you have and how you can incorporate your colorful bags with the new colors of Fall.

Of course most people are visual, and you may ask how do I create these types of looks for yourself.

– Frank Lloyd Wright
Everything does not have to be glittery, gaudy, and covered in detail to be considered stylish. Sometimes it's the simple things that can go a long way. Frank Lloyd Wright, a historic American architect, interior designer, writer and educator. He designed more than 1,000 structures during his lifetime, and is known as "the greatest American architect of all time" this title was coined by the American Institute of Architects in 1991. As an artist first, Frank Lloyd Wright has hit the nail on the head. Handbags are a work of art and the simplicity of a great handbag is what adds the value to the art piece. A classic bag is great because it is not gaudy but has the right amount of detail and the hardware has just enough shine to it so that it doesn't overpower the handbag.

They say there is inspiration all around us. Well I guess you can even find it in your food. Lately, some designers have created color block handbags mixing two colors together...
Chocolate and Mint!
As you know a lot of designers are telling color block stories. Well it's hit the accessories too. Color block handbags are not a new trend but this color combination is. Mint is one of the popular colors for the fall season. I see it in necklaces, shoes, sweaters, skirts and it has found its way onto handbags but not by itself.
