Hilary Radley handbag, $140 |
I'm not a change-my-handbag-every-day kind of gal (really, who has the time?), but I am a strong believer in a seasonal update. That said, not just any bag can make the cut. A winning candidate has to multi-task – go from office to after work in a pinch – and, of course, look absolutely fabulous. This shoulder dangler from veteran Canadian designer Hilary Radley is the perfect pick. (Best known for coats, Radley has now turned her chic eye to accessories.) It's sleek but roomy enough for the essentials, such as my overflowing day planner. And it's got the fashion currency – metallic-finished linen and bold topstitching – to hold my attention all season long. |
