What would fall shopping be without at least one fabulous new handbag? It really is a necessity. But, with so many handbags to choose from, how do you pick? Overwhelmed by the range of style choices, and the equally overwhelming range of prices, we decided that maybe we should talk to an expert.
Senora Cartera is the high-fashion handbag blog known for reviewing the latest designer handbags in a user-friendly way that anyone can appreciate. From the best picks of the fashion runway, to the styles that the stars are toting, and everything in between-- if it's new and hot it's on Senora Cartera. True to the moniker "Mrs. Handbag," the fabulous fashionista behind Senora Cartera really knows her stuff. Who better to show us how to get high fashion handbag looks on a real world budget? We took Senora Cartera herself on a virtual shopping trip to the handbag section at Macys.com. Here are her top picks:
Cole Haan Village Satchel
Available at: Macys.com
"This chic, functional bag has a great shape with classic lines and tons of storage space. Nab the metallic gunmetal version if you want to be trendy this fall or opt for the black rendition if you’d rather play it safe."
Nine West Fold Over Clutch
Available at: Macys.com
"This affordable clutch sports a sleek, sophisticated patent exterior and is available in an array of colors perfect for fall. Invest in red or cobalt blue to spruce up any look with a blast of color."
Alfani Greenwich Dome Satchel$148.00
Available at: Macys.com
"This elegant satchel embodies classic style. The embossed crocodile-patterned leather is a great way to incorporate an expensive trend (exotics) into your wardrobe without breaking the bank. Choose the black version for a look that will never go out of style."
Calvin Klein Metallic Clasp Bag$128.00
Available at: Macys.com
"A handbag that provides options is always a good investment. Carry this demure selection as a shoulder bag or as a clutch – you decide. The embossed snakeskin-patterned leather combined with the metallic gunmetal color is trendy without screaming 'fashion victim'."
Kenneth Cole "See It Thru" Tote$178.00
Available at: Macys.com
"This tote is the perfect union of style and comfort. The large size and slew of multi-functional pockets makes this an ideal bag to take you from the office to the mall to the airport to dinner with friends without skipping a beat. Choose the scarlet version if you prefer bold accessories or pick the ivory one for a crisp, clean option during the winter months ahead."
