A bag for every season ?

Spring and Autumn are my favourite seasons. Springs are often associated with new life, new beginning and a variety of colours. The sun creeps out and finally shine right through the thick clouds of England. I can feel the warmth in months. I look out of the windows and the field are now filled with beautiful blooming daffodils, dancing away in the early sun rays. What a sight to behold!

The vibrant colours of yellow possibly inspired fashion designers to use intensely bright colours for the new spring/summer collection. The results we get are a set of overly elaborate, flashy, often not so practical handbags. These bags will often go on sale after the season is over.   

Will you spend on something like this ?

Or rather a bag that can give you a better mileage and versatility?

The bag you carry tells people about you, who you are- for better or for worse! Seasonal bags tell people that you are up-to-date, a fashion parrazzi and most of all you can afford. At the same time once the bag goes on sale, it may give an indication that you are a bargain hunter and not so fashion conscious. So see the opposite effects.

All this said, fashion isn't rocket science. It is simply fun way to express yourself. You may fancy a change of style and a new bag can do that for you. If you want to carry a YSL studded hobo bag with an elegant evening gown, do it. Go right ahead. Your life, your style, go do it, the way you wanna baby! We do not have to always follow those fashion pages to the letter.


YSL Suede Roady Studded Bag, S$3,100

This YSL suede Studded bag is absolute gorgeous and soft to hold. It does not shout YSL and the design is practical and simple. It can go well with causal and of cos, if you want to match it with that black evening dress!

  1. while we could fancy a bag a season, toy a red or blue or pink now and then, Black will remain the steadfast kid; worth the gold in weight for an original authentic piece and becoming more special, filled with memories with each use

  2. Yes, the classic black is a must for all. Though black may seem a bit too serious but if you choose the right black pattern, shape, design, it can still look chic and fun.
