This handbag is super cute and totally functional, a dynamic duo if you ask me. I like the pockets and the thick hand strap. That soft leather makes it look like a fancy duffle bag, which is a trend that is on the horizon. It’s a good everyday bag, and I think it would also work well as a travel bag.

Yes, it’s a pretty cut and dried case.

Silver shoes like these Steve by Steve Madden Karess Peep Toe Pumps would really jazz up your and my fall wardrobes. They’ll look chic with white-leg pants–very unexpected. They also feature a nice, thick heel, which seems to be the thing for the upcoming season. I like the cut-out detailing and love the idea of pairing that open toe with some black tights, which is my of my favorite looks. Plus, I’ve never been disappointed with the quality of any Steve Madden shoes I’ve owned, all of which, for better or worse, I’ve worn to death.
