Fall Trend: Gunmetal Hardware, Chains & Studs July 20th, 2010 By

Have you noticed that fall handbags have taken on a new look with gunmetal hardware and embellishments?  The muted tone of gunmetal adds a sleekness that is far more subtle than gold or silver.  After spending over an hour browsing on beso, I narrowed my favorites to five gunmetal bags, each with different silhouettes that are very versatile.  Which is your favorite?

1. Hype Christy Cross-Body Bag, $175 at Dillard’s

Bag It: Hype Ellie North/South Tote July 6th, 2010 By

Hype Ellie North/South Tote

The look for the summer is boho-chic. I’m loving the look of long flowy dresses, chunky rings paired with oversized earrings, Jackie-O style sunglasses, and fringe bags.  This Hype Ellie North/South Tote fits the boho-chic trend perfectly.  Buttery soft brown leather takes shape in this simple, boxy silhouette – with pintucks at the top, double handles with buckled straps, and fringe trim.  But not only is this cute tote cool to look at, it’s uber-functional, too.  Side zips expand the tote giving you more space to store your carefree summer essentials.
