The Oversized Clutch

There are definitely some awesome trends for fall/winter 2011 and the oversized clutch is one.  Ever since the launch of the i-pad and new tablets, the oversized clutch has emerged.  It's a look that has a vintage vibe and works with modern fashion.  

There are endless styles on the market, envelope style, zip top, clutches with handles, slim chain straps and the list goes on.  Pick a style your comfortable wearing from day to night, it's an awesome convenience to not have to switch bags!  

Don't be afraid to choose an eye-catching colour or pattern. Draw attention to the trend and add flair to your look.  Think of the oversized clutch as an essential accessory for fall!

The Structured Bag

This fall structured handbags are being spotted everywhere. They look sophisticated, ladylike and polished.  How do you spot a structured bag?  It usually has a defined shape and a flat bottom that it can stand upright on.  Most structured bags have a long shoulder strap as an option since they are usually fashioned with a small handle for carrying.  

These bags are a nice change from the slouchy, floppy hobo bags that were used to.  They indicate a sense or organization and femininity.  They come in all sizes and are great for students and business women too, since they also come in a book-bag style.  

This fall make sure you get your hands on a structured bag!

Fedoras and Panama Hats

These celebs rock this look.  It's a cool/casual look and with the right outfit can be dressed up too.  I love how they are so versatile.  The straw hats are great for summer and vacations.  The felt/tweed are great for the fall.

You can wear one with messy bedhead, a side braid, sleek straight hair, anyway you wear it, it looks great. Wear one with a blazer for a more sophisticated look, or with a bomber jacket for an edgier look.  Just have fun.  They are a hot accessory right now and suit everyone, so be sure to rock this look too.

Accessorize!

Here is a clip from Fashionism.ca.  This was taken from 'Style winners and losers'.  I love it because it talks about how important accessories can be when putting together a great look, even on the red carpet.

Steph: "While I think the Nina Ricci gown is unquestionably pretty, for me it's really the accessories that steal the show here. Her bracelets and clutch make her outfit seem dynamic and modern. Without them, she'd be a pretty girl in a pretty dress. With them, she's a stylish star."
