Elegant and affordable handbags

New season, change of wardrobe and a (little) update of some pieces. I’ve searched the online stores looking for nice, elegant and affordable handbags, and I found some that I really liked. All of them are from Zara (except one from Stradivarius, but well, it’s still Inditex), that is in my opinion the high-street label that makes the best affordable handbags that actually look good. As I commented on the previous post about nice handbags under €50, these accessories are the most difficult piece to find at a good price without looking cheap.

Fortunately, it’s not impossible. Olivia Palermo shows that a Zara handbag can look as great as the latest it-bag. It’s the case of the shopper bag she wears on the photo, from the Fall/Winter 2011 season that it’s still on sale because of its success. Again, thanks Olivia!

What to wear when it’s really cold outside

Dressing well in cold winter is difficult. You have to wear endless layers or a huge coat to avoid freezing, and usually the warm clothes are not the beautiful ones (or they are too expensive). That’s why I’ve compiled a list of some of the best coats, and inspiration images to style them. Thanks Liu Wen, Frida Gustavsson, Caroline Sieber, Magdalena Frackowiak, Karlie Kloss, Daiane Conterato and Hanneli Mustaparta for the ideas.

Fake fur coats, parkas, anoraks and boyfriend coats (see post here) are the best choice. The key is pairing them with skinny pants and a nice accesory.
