The biggest problem is to find something that is affordable and durable, but also chic and goes with everything. I checked out some sites, including Coach, Marc Jacobs and Rebecca Minkoff, to find designer bags with potential – and under $500.

Coach – These four bags range from $247 to $325, with the Prairie Satchel coming in a variety of colors.

The links are: Primrose Satchel, Coach Swagger 21, Coach Swagger 27 and Prairie Satchel.

What can I say my latest obsession starts off with a pleather overall I saw online and knew I needed it in my fall wardrobe.
Still not in my possession, I’d like to conjure up how I would wear it out on a regular day out. Plain graphic tee, statement booties, hip round sunglasses, makeup au naturale with a nude lipstick, add a banging holographic clutch and I am ready to start my trendy as eff day!
