Eight Statement Handbags I’m Loving for Fall

August 14, 2019 by jessica Leave a Comment

While I’m not one to go down the fall-attire rabbit hole too deeply before the calendar turns to September, it is just 17 days away and the siren song of a new handbag for the season is becoming increasingly hard to resist — especially when there are such statement-making bags available right now.

I fell hard for that Staud bag the moment I laid eyes on it and I’ve been daydreaming about the perfect ’70s-inspired ensembles to pair it with. It looks roomy enough for everyday essentials and the large opening appears like it would fit comfortably over a shoulder. Then there are those petite croc-embossed bags here and here (also in emerald) that are just begging for a ladylike look. And just look at the acrylic details on the strap of this bag and this one — and they’re both under $50! But then Cult Gaia steals the show with three photogenic bags that blow the Ark bag out of the water: a sculptural bamboo tote, a fluffy faux-fur top-handle bag, and a raffia woven handbag.

For me, it’s likely a tossup between the Staud bag and that Kate Spade cutie, but I’d love to know what bags are gracing your wish list right now!

The Coveted 06.04.18

ONE | TWO | THREE | FOUR | FIVE | SIX | SEVEN | EIGHT | NINE

When I came across this linen skirt, it reminded me so much of the dress I wore in yesterday’s post that I just had to include it this week’s “The Coveted” roundup. It would look darling with a white camisole and leather slides, like these or these, and a rich brown bag. The net tote bag above is obviously inspired by Staud’s of-the-moment bucket bag, but at a much more affordable price for those just looking to dapple in the trend. There’s also this bag if you’d like a more-than-just-inspired-by (ahem, knock off) version.

Between this week’s The Coveted and last week’s edition, two things are obvious: I’m craving neutrals for spring and Cult Gaia’s upcoming collection has captured my fancy. The bag I’m most interested in is this one. I love the petite size and the flat, footed bottom that will allow it to rest on surfaces easier than the ubiquitous half-moon bag we’ve all embraced.

Jump Around

I bought this deeply discounted jumpsuit at Anthropologie in November and it sat in the closet with the tags still attached until it was finally warm enough to wear it last weekend. Bathroom acrobatics aside, it was such a fun, eye-catching piece to wear! Plus, it was a practical choice for a windy day because I didn’t have to wrestle with a hemline threatening to cause what I call a “Marilyn moment.” 😉 Next time, though, I’ll style it differently with these statement earrings, pearl sandals (in this post) and a black DVF clutch (seen here).

Finishing our guest room has been a focus of ours Finishing our guest room has been a focus of ours this year, and the cute Teig Lamp from Schoolhouse is such a charming addition to the space. It’s named for the German word for “dough,” which is perfect for its soft, petite shape.

I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog of travel photos before we book our next trip. First up, photos of the gothic York Minster. I’m not religious in the slightest but I can’t resist stunning architecture and the opportunity to climb hundreds of cathedral stairs for a city view. This one only had a single rest stop about halfway up the flight of 275 steps for a closeup view of the flying buttresses — and a waiver you had to sign before your ascent to promise you’re healthy enough to make it.
