Not wanting to take long, the only thing I sought was a suede handbag, having lost three of my collection when the dog ate the handle from one, chocolate melted in the second, and my kid poured juice into the third. Everyone made it clear that I had to be present at the work-related event that was scheduled for the following week.

I stepped out on my lunch break with the intention of getting one of those passable suede handbags with little difficulty. What, I naively asked the ever so obliging saleslady, would be the style that would LOOK acceptable under most circumstances overall?

I checked out a few suede handbags, picking them up, touching them in a disinterested fashion and then looked around with a bored look on my face.

“How about a small black suede handbag,” the lady asked?

This bag piqued my interest instantly. I felt it, squeezed it, and caressed the material. I was hooked – “suede” and persuaded!The Latest Suede Handbag I Own

In the latest fashions shows all the models wore large necklaces
and wrists-full of bracelets made of wood or shells and had
their hair done in loose, gentle upsweeps. The black-and-white
Beatnik style is back, aimed at the 16-25 age group, severe and
pared down, a complete about-turn…gone is casual,
throw-it-all-together, ethnic school of style, with last
season’s Bohemian look making but a brief showing. We saw
sequined dresses, halters and shrugs in purple, green and gold;
swimwear followed the metallic theme: women wore tiny silver and
gold bikinis, while men wore shorts or swimsuits in colorful
prints. Last season’s Bohemian look made a brief showing.

Many of the formal dresses were updated versions of more
classic styles. A simple off-white knee-length strapless gown
was accented with a skirt of tulle ruffles around the waist. A
long purple evening gown was slit up the front with a cloud of
feathers beginning at the knee.

crisp, white shirt with a pair of well-cut black trousers, and
look for rich fabrics such as satin, silk and velvet; black and
white-striped mohair sweater-dresses, worn over tights or very
fitted jeans, worn with black ballet slippers, patent slippers
or with knee-high black boots; black wool cropped jackets and
pea coats; Beatnik-style black caps; black eyeliner and mascara;
sunglasses and straight hair.
The hourglass silhouette is
already a key look for this winter but if you don’t have a tiny,
well-toned frame, choose less fitted silhouettes, and add
narrow, leather belts, retro-style shoes, vintage handbags and
opulent fur, a striped Pompom scarf. Pompom decoration is a
designer look and very easy to make yourself. Back in style is
the Sixties-inspired wool shift, with a Chanel touch and in
solid colors such as a white shirt and oversized black blazer,
and rather than a revival of androgyny it is simply a question
of comfort and ease; black mini-skirt with over-the-knee boots;
or a striped top or sweater [with a pair of skinny black pants.  Read more...
