Best Handbags For Fall 2013

We love fall, and with it, the promise of change. For us, it is the perfect time to splurge on a new handbag. They are versatile, and go with almost everything in our closets. With so many choices to choose from, we may have to go for more than just one. This season, get your hands on these trendy statement pieces.


Here are BluePromoCode's best handbags for fall 2013!


​

- Animal print makes its way to the handbags this year. Instead of leopard print, though, zebra print is the one making the big waves this fall. Black and white go on every handbag, from satchels to totes. Make sure the print is broken up by hardware; otherwise it might be a little difficult to distinguish from the background. You can snag some great ones at department store like Macy’s. Macy’s holds sales just about every weekend, and offers many coupons, so take advantage.
 
- Envelope clutches are dainty and impractical, but so very cute. They are perfect for a fancy or fun night out, when you don’t want to carry anything but your credit cards and phone. We love the ones in rich jewel tones, and especially the ones in leather. You can find many cute ones at stores like JC Penney or Kohl’s. If you want a great deal, use the store credit cards to snag reward points to redeem in-store.
 
- Another option for a fun evening out is a jeweled box clutch. These mini-bags make a much bigger statement than an envelope clutch, and are hard to miss in a crowded room. They also give you much more room than a small clutch, so you can add a few more things without the clutch looking bulky. We like the ones that are embellished with beads and pearls.
 
- The bucket bag is back, and has been updated for the modern woman. Instead of closing up your bag with zippers, tie them up with a string. It makes for a cute retro look, and they are pretty easy to carry around. Choose a soft leather, and you can opt for a lighter, neutral gray, or go with the all-purpose black color. You can find many cute bucket bags at stores like Refinery29 or Shopbop.
 
- The duffel bag is a slightly more structured, sportier alternative to the ever-popular satchel. They work really well in almost any material, whether it is leather, suede, or cloth, and look very professional. Best of all they have plenty of room for whatever you need.
 
- Color-blocked purses are a fun way to add interest and color to your wardrobe. We especially like the handbags with similar color palettes such as contrasting shades of blues, or pinks and reds. We also like the ones that have more dramatic color blocks, such as black and red.

 
- Cobalt blue handbags continue to be stunners both on and off the runway. This color shows up best on structured totes, duffels, and satchels. We love the bright statement they make, and they add a lot of color to dreary winters.

Wishlist Wednesday #8 // Boots are made for walking


For me, the perfect autumn outfit is never complete without a pair of boots! These are some of my absolute favourites in all sorts of styles and colours!


1. Ebay £12.99

Almost no-heel at all which makes it super easy for walking in. Love the bright cobalt blue colour! Something different from the standard black.


2. Ebay £9.99

A gorgeous burgundy pair with little diamante studs! At that price, it's an absolute bargain!


3. Ebay £7.99

If you can't part with black boots, then this is for you. I think it's a combination of leather and suede which makes it super unique and an added heel to give you height! Contemplating whether I should get this one.


4. Ebay £13.99 

How gorgeous is this pair?! The chunky heel makes it easier to walk in, and I love the gold embellishments which glams it up (:


5. ASOS £19.99 / US$ 33.74

Pretty standard tan boots, but with neutrals, you can never go wrong!


6. ASOS £19.99 / US$ 33.74

Lovely buckle details and again, super wearable and comfortable!


Which pair of boots are your favourite?

The Autumn Tag


I got tagged by the lovely Carly Jade from Cee Jay Ell (thank you!) so I thought I'd do it to finish off September (: Where I'm living at the moment, I don't actually have autumn as a season, but I can imagine right?


Favourite thing about Autumn?

Definitely the warm cosy sweaters and ankle boots! I'm so bummed that I can't go sweater shopping or boot hunting (at least not for a few more months) because I'd have minimal chances to wear them if I did! Ohhh, and the pretty colour-changing leaves!



Favourite Drink?

Hmmm... I can never pass up a good Caramel Frappucino!



Favourite Scent/Candle?

I've never actually bought one/tried one although I really really want to! I'm curious as to how they'll smell like! If I could, I'd probably buy all the scents and burn them in turn :P
My favourite scent of all time is vanilla - I have a small bottle of vanilla essence in the fridge and I sometimes open it up to smell it (yes, I'm weird)



Best Lipstick?

To be fair, I don't own many, but I do love my Maybelline Moisturizing Color Sensational lipstick in Cosy Tangerine because it's such a wearable, day time colour.



Go-to Moisturiser?

Yea...I SHOULD moisturize...since my skin is so dry as I'm often in the pool...but I'm lazy and always forget! So I grab the first one I see in my parents' room :P


Go-to Colour for the Eyes?

My foolproof combination is brown neutral eyes with cobalt blue eyeliner!



Favourite Music to Listen to?

In all honesty, I listen to everything and anything...apart from metal and rap.



Favourite Outfit to Wear?

Since this is an autumn tag, I'm going to have to imagine for this one. If the season did exist, I would probably wear a simple dress paired with wooly tights, ankle boots, a trench coat and a scarf. Ohhh, and a beanie as well (:



Autumn Treat?

Do I get one even if I don't have autumn? I'd really like a deep plum lipstick though. I think that would be pretty cool



Favourite Place to Be?

Really do wish the boyfriend was back from England cause then I'd be hanging out with him, but otherwise my favourite place is my bedroom, on my bed, snuggled under the blankets with my MASSIVE (i'm not kidding) teddy bear next to me (:


I tag:
EVERYONE
