Fashion
has the power to instantly lift the spirit, and, let’s face it, we could all
use a bit of escapism right now. As legendary fashion designer Coco Chanel once
famously said: “Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with
ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” In this issue, showcased in all
their effortless glory the spotlight is shined on cross-body bags.
From
neutral tones, to wow factor dreamy shades of pastels, these bags evoke both a
sense of optimism and timeless elegance. April styles take the guesswork out of
spring shopping.
The Cross-Body Name
Handbags
are normally classified primarily by the type of strap/handle they have, and
secondly by their shape and style. The term ‘cross-body’ refers to any bag that
uses a longer strap so that it can be worn across the body.
The
inspiration behind the idea originates from the mission to provide people with
bags that could give them the ‘hands free option.’ The hands-free concept was
also used by messengers or postman as far back as 1860, when the Pony Express
mail service adopted the familiar style of wearing a bag across the body for their
employees to carry letters and parcels.
The Hero
Firstly,
the cross-body is very comfortable as the strap distributes weight between the
shoulder and back. This can defiantly be handy especially if anyone who may
have back issues.
Secondly,
the cross-body bags have that hands-free advantage and the size of the bags
provide you with more functionality, making them perfect for everyday use. These
features are ideal that help make this bag a prominent part of the handbag
industry.
The Piece That Will Transform Your Wardrobe

captures everyday vibes like a unique and distinctive take on this iconic style
of handbag. Cross-body bags are usually considered to be a casual and everyday
bag made with either waterproof materials or leather. These luxury materials
are suitable for both glamorous occasions and everyday use, demonstrating their
coveted versatility.

Do

secretly sing to it in the shower. You sneak ever so softly into the kitchen
and take that last piece of double fudge chocolate cake. Or you splurge on that
designer bag you have been eyeing for over a week now. Let’s face it, when it
comes to guilty pleasures we all have one that we can’t seem to ignore.

When
it comes to Olivier Rousteing’s latest collection for Balmain he defiantly
delivered with some must have guilty pleasures. Normally, a collection for the
fresh season comes down the runway full of glitz and extravagate glamour that
the brands fans are used to, but in many other ways, it was a departure from
last season’s Amazonian, earthy collection. Made up of many black and white
looks, Spring packed on a bold punch in the face with wide stripes and hot
black patent leather that screamed “I am fierce and taking you back to the 90s
with a modern feel.”
Gorgeous
patterns were conveyed so well with a nice burst of bright colours that showed
up near the end of this lavish show. I love how Tom Ford can captivate a sensuality
and still be risky when it came for the moment. Now it seems Balmain is taking
Ford’s place. Sorry Tom, nothing personal but Olivier and I will be quite happy
together now. I am sure you understand when it comes to conscious uncoupling.

The
attitude for the Spring show was defiantly edgy, sexy, cool. And I wanted to
add every single garment to my wardrobe as soon as possible. I love the way
designers are starting to make more wearable clothing and less over the top
pieces. When it comes to a classy edge, Balmain didn’t disappoint and took this
season by storm.
Pieces
that stood out to me
Patent
Obsession
I
love the patent jumpsuit paired with a white button-down blouse. The torn
details on the shoulders gives it this rock and roll vibe while still just
having that so cool flavour. Together or apart these items can work with your
everyday style.
I
See Through You
Designers
like Chanel have been celebrating see through patent bags and shoes a lot this
year. And it seems like the see-through trend isn’t going anywhere so soon.
This second look does the see-through trend right! By mixing a graffiti and
urban vibe with this really amazing coat, while being that cool girl in the
city.
Drama
You
can’t do well in life unless you have some spicy drama. Oversized sleeves and
ruffles can really make that a reality. This next look is so polished and chic,
but it gives you a surprise of drama to keep you guessing.
Street
Style Runway
I
love when the style in the streets can make its way to the runway. A gorgeous
retro influenced fitted skirt with a graphic tee tucked in for that awesome put
together look. This is such a win and gorgeous look.
Mix
It Up
I
love when a designer takes risks. And mixing patterns isn’t child’s play. You
really have to know how to put the right fabrics together otherwise, it can be
a big mess. The mix of these two works perfectly and would look incredible for
a sexy night out.
Rock
& Roll to The Office
The
idea of dressing like a rock star for that important business meeting just
makes sense. Maybe some offices are conservative and prefer you stick to a
boring look. This stand out style here works perfectly to really stand out in
your next business meeting.
Stripes
Are Your Friend
A
lot of people are terrified of stripes. They automatically think this print can
make you look so unflattering. But when you take the pattern and make it bolder
with a beautiful rebellious biker jacket, it can make you rethink your prejudices
towards good old-fashioned stripes. This style is not only wild it gives you
that causal feel with some bite.
