I’ve showcased a lot of high-end and mid-range bags this month and while they’re all quite beautiful and sometimes worth the splurge, not everyone has the means to pick up an expensive piece of arm candy. Cue in Urban Outfitters, I can always count on UO to have cute accessories.
Here are a few bags by Deux Lux that will make your fall and winter outfits pop!
Asymmetrical Zip Bag ($68) I adore the green colour, so pretty and can work for either Fall or Spring. This one is also available in a pretty navy blue and brown.

Often it’s hard to find a handbag that incorporates style, versatility, quality and price equally. Usually you find all the qualities listed but the price point is out of your budget. Then you have the bags that fall within your budget but lack the quality and style longevity.
All is not lost however because there’s a happy medium and that’s where Bolzano handbags come in. I’ve featured the Bolzano Fiore Satchel previously and it is still quite a fabulous looking bags. Whilst browsing through their new Fall arrivals, two other bags caught my eye not only because of how they look …read more

Fall for Dautore Handbags

To describe Dautore handbags as eclectic would be an understatement. Dautore bags are not your average handbag line, the styles and shapes are a mix of classic and well, odd. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Dautore was created in 1998 by Gilda Sampaio and Aurea Urtiaga. They were inspired to create bags that reflected the “carioca” or the Rio de Janeiro people’s lifestyle.
For Fall, Dautore handbags are not only gorgeous to look at but their rich hues and details are in tune with the seasons top trends.
Dautore Loop Leather Frame Satchel ($635)
Dautore Leather Linking Strap Hobo ($580)

Are you familiar with Be & D handbags?

For Fall the Be & D collection does not disappoint. Their iconic studded Garbo satchel is quite popular but there are two other gorgeous bags that caught my eye.
