The Row! Those two words say PLENTY! Not only am I a tremendous fan of the Olsen twins' line but I'm a an advocate of their simplistic construction and minimalistic details. The soft classic shoulder bag and backpack are my two favorite bags from their collection. From any leather to any color, I love them all! It's classic and simple, not to mention extremely chic. To me, it's the quintessential bag to have for now and for the future. It's a definite "it" bag! Now, the question is how am I going to scoop myself one. One of each of course!

MEN AND THEIR BAGS
The intriguing topic of men and the bags that they SHOULD be carrying.
When you hear bags, most people tend to think of women and their purses, but not men and their bags. Why is that?
It's true, men do carry bags but it's not a worldwide topic that people want to discuss. It's an element that many don't put an emphasis on.
Maybe they're ashamed and don't want to portray themselves as too feminine?
Maybe they're just SO into their bags that they don't want other men to know about which chic bag that they're carrying?
It's intriguing...I KNOW!
I understand that men have their universal wallets to carry their ID, cash, credit cards, and possibly other unmentionable possessions. I also understand that there are briefcases and backpacks that men carry to hold their things for the day. But what about the chic bags that so many designers have produced for these fabulous men to carry? Why are these guys hiding their fabulous bags?
Men (straight, gay or both) need to carry more of their bags, it's useful and it's chic. I know some men don't care nor do they know what chic entails but it's something to think about. It adds something to that sleek suit you're wearing or it adds an extra grunge element to your already great grunge look that you got going on for that day.
So my point is, it depends on how you want to portray yourself fellas. Don't have this preconceived notion and write it off so quickly that a bag is a feminine element of a man's outfit. You can make it whatever you want to be! Just make sure you rock it like there's no tomorrow!
Here are some bags to test out...

TREND | SPORT CHIC
There are times when you're just not craving heels and tight clothing on your body. You want to look chic to be able to walk out of the house without people throwing garbage at you, yet comfortable enough to satisfy your current state of mind. So, it calls for a sport chic look that will make you feel at ease (because you won't look like a bum) & happy (because you're not on display with high heels and clothes SO tight that your eyes are about to pop).
This look is perfect for errands, causal movies during the week, shopping, & casual lunches with the gals. How chic is this though, honestly! It's practically screaming your name, it has the appropriate qualities of leather & cotton jersey. And, the best part is that you're still on trend.
On a side note, I am in love with the leather backpack & leather trainers. It goes together like a perfect fashion marriage, yet it's not too overwhelming. Those two are definitely on my wishlist!
