How to Pick Your First Luxury Brand Bag

Pick A Known Brand

If your gonna spend the bucks, make sure you’re getting the quality. The best brands are usually the most well-known ones, that have been around for the last several years. Examples of these stores are Chanel, Hermès, Louis Vuitton’s and those are just a few. Just do some research and you should be good.

A Timeless Look

Think of the big picture, will this be something you’ll still love and feel good in a year from now? Will this be something appropriate for you to wear 5 years down the road. Will this still fit your style in a couple of months? This is why I recommend more of a classic look for luxurious brands.

Not a Trend

It’s easy to get sucked into trendy items. Pick a look you love, not just a trend or like. Pick something you love yourself and not just on others. Don’t purchase because it’s the hottest trend at the moment, that craze always dies down. Then nobody wants to wear them because they’re so overworn.

Usability

Make sure you pick a color or look you can wear with more than one outfit. Know what you want the bag to be for. Events, Everyday, etc. Known the material your getting. Be aware some materials last longer then other. Some damage easier than others. All depends on your lifestyle conditions and how you handle your bag.

Essential Accessories

Accessories for any outfit are an essential part of an outfit. No matter the look, these are some must-have wardrobe pieces. The challenge is putting them together and getting the most use out of them. A touch of these additions and knowing how to wear can add a whole new or better look. It can add color, elegance, or a theme. Here are the 5 essential accessories I recommend.

Headbands:

Fur Vest

Paired with any jeans, white pants, dresses or skirt.

Silk Scarfs

High Boots

Leather Jacket

Combat Boots

Fashion Inspirations

A lot of my fashion ideas and updates come mostly from social media platforms like Instagram. To be able to keep myself in check and know the in’s and out’s, I follow fashion accounts that fit my style and look.

These Instagrammers are another way to find quick and easy ideas for outfits and different fashion inspiration. I wanted to share with you a few of the top fashion Instagrams that I follow, that have given me everyday ideas on how to dress.

These accounts are all consistent posters, who share clothing sites, give out shopping advice, and always have promotional codes for you to save on your next purchase.

Looking Your Best For Class

Looking your best for class five days a week is a challenge. I know first hand from being a college student it hard to look cute while, also trying to be comfy plus trying not to over wear your outfits.

College is hard just as it is, so why make it more stressful with your outfits. Here I will give you a guide of a few simple ideas to wear to class. These are all basic pieces of clothes but when put together look fashionable and fit comfortably.

This first look is my top go to. This simple white oversized t-shirt, paired with some high waisted jeans and black sneakers can be worn so many ways so many times! Just switching up the shirt and shoes you already have two adorable and comfortable outfits!

This second look is also one of my easy go to’s. A simple jean jacket black sweater or turtleneck, paired with either leggings or black jeans. The white sneakers also add a simple touch of color while also giving the look a sporty touch.

This outfit is a perfect combo for a nice fall day. An oversized bright knit sweater with skinny jeans and a pair of simple slides or booties.

This last outfit is an ideal fall or winter look. An oversized turtleneck, combined with skinny black leather pants and black booties. You should use very neutral colors for this outfit if worn during the winter.

The Fashion Show That Brought Tears

Just last month Karl Lagerfeld, the famous designer of both Chanel and Fendi passed away at age 85. This was the first time in 35 years that Paris Fashion week Karl did not attend and it sure made an impact.

This show was beautiful themed to perfection as a winter wonderland village. It included wooden chalets, smoking chimneys and mountain backdrops.

It was an amazing yet emotional fashion show for many, but especially those model who shed some tears during the show.
