Trending: Fall 2012 Handbags

Fall 2012: Bag Report

I know, its still hot outside and the beach is still calling your name but I just cant seem to get Fall off of my mind. The layering shirts, blazers and cords! But why not add a special bag to your wardrobe?

Designers like Louis Vuitton, Alexander Wang and Chanel are going for the oversized weekender bag for everyday. The bags below are an updated style of the 'classic' doctor style handbag. This silhouette has the two top short handles but sometimes may feature a long cross body handle as well.

Now that you know the shape to go for... how about color?

Well, stores like Bloomingdales and Neiman Marcus are going for the neutral look. After the hot summer and bright colored accessories its almost refreshing to have these neutral colors in stores. Yes, it might be hard to spend the big bucks on these bags but why not splurge for a classic bag that will work all year round?
