"It" handbag of the season: The cross body

Orlando Home and Leisure September 2011

Wardrobe Styling: Stylissima

Whether your look is classic or very casual the cross body handbag is a great bag to have.It's very easy to transition into more of a feminine chic look by just carrying it on the shoulder instead of across the body.  Almost all the designers made one this season. I picked up this really nice one at Saks Florida Mall it's by Michael Kors-who I absolutely love!  The model is wearing more of a casual chic outfit and the bag just adds the perfect touch. She is wearing some Prada ankle plaid ankle pants, a green knit vest by Piazza Sempione, a print long sleeve top by Piazza Sempione, and her jewelry is by Herve Van Straeten at Neiman Marcus and Coralia Leets in Winter Park.  Her shoes are from Lucky Brand who surprisingly has some amazing comfortable shoes.

According to fashion insiders the cape is the "It" item of this fall season. Great paired with a simple pencil skirt or even leggings this timeless piece is worth the investment.  There are several ones out there but the one pictured here I found at Neiman Marcus and it's by Piazza Sempione, fab!
