Proenza Schouler PS11 - The Investment Cross Body Bag

My Dearest Beauties,

I have been crushing over these bags for quite a bit and I finally decided that it is a must to share my love with you guys. I think this is an oh so worth it bag, if you are looking for a special cross body piece. They have a sturdy look that come in three different convenient sizes; tiny, mini classic and classic. They come in the neutral black and caramels, but you will be blown away when you see the amazing color modifications that are applied on it every season. All pictures were collected from proenzaschouler.com, make sure to click and take a look at all the colors, they are so pretty!

Cross body bags are among those that you will find yourself reaching to most often, especially because of their practicality and versatility. They give us the freedom of having unoccupied hands and arms, while we stay looking fairly cute! Either throw the tiny one across the body on your casual outfit days or go for the classic sized one hanging from your shoulder with your competent looking work clothes to give yourself a unique twist.

You can find Proenza Schouler designs at net-a-porter.com or at Plum concept store at Down Town, Beirut.

I like these very much, in every size and color. What about you?

Much love, 

Samar

Travel Essential: Cross Body Bag

My Dearest Beauties,

If you are traveling the world, running around a new city solo, and are not lucky enough to have a private driver to show you around you most probably will have to commute using the public transport. Holding a heavy over packed handbag is not the most practical when you have to run in and out of the underground trains and stations while also holding all your shopping bags, water bottle, umbrella, etc, etc, etc... That is the recipe for a crazy night of body pains. In some cases, we are even worried that some of the places we visit are not so safe and we not only have to hold our huge bags but also take care of how we hold them

The key is to buy yourself a cross body bag that you cannot over pack but can still fit just enough of your essentials. Make sure, it closes with a zipper so that you don't spill any of your valuables out. You can now run freely and can also hold many more shopping bags :).

Cross body bags are chic and you could find them everywhere from Topshop to Zara, Rebecca Minkoff to Tory Burch, Chanel and Hermes. Some of them are so useful that they even double up as a night time bag or clutch.

For some of you avid travelers this is old news but I hope it, still, lights a bulb for some of you out there.

Much Love,

Samar
