Hit The Town in Your Own "It" Bag!

April 1st // Comment Here

Big labels like YSL, Bottega Venetta, Louis Vuitton and so on choose a bag each season to be the “It” bag for their collection that they show in all their ads and celebrities wear around town and all the magazines shoot. This bag turns into the must have for the season. This is a great marketing strategy, but this might not necessarily be the perfect bag for your wardrobe. I think an “It” bag should be a bag that is versatile, that you can invest in and that you will wear with different looks and you can combine with different colors. Check out this picture of Hilary Duff with her “it” bag from Linea Pelle. You can wear it many different ways- across your body, as a tote and it looks like it can fit all a lot inside. A great work to weekend bag.

If you like Hilary’s bag, you can snag one at Singer22.com. Do you already have an “It” bag? Share your fashion find with me!

Love,
