A boxy clutch is an ultra feminine way to add a professional look to an outfit. While men have toted cumbersome briefcases around for years, the ladies of fashion week put their own spin on keeping their Blackberries safe with chunky, boxy clutches. Go for a simple shape in a bright color (like red) or let a luxurious gold chain hang freely for a funky twist.
As winter slowly escapes, a khaki trench coat is a must have for spring! Depending on its cut, a trench coat can work for almost any body type. On the left, a bell shaped cut, paired with a short skirt and platforms. On the right, a more masculine cut, with leopard print sleeves.
Serious shades are a Fashion Week staple! Anna Wintour swears by shielding her face with giant sunglasses as if not to immediately give away her opinion of a designer’s collection with her facial gestures … and what Anna does, we follow! These statement making sunglasses are a must, even when the sun’s nowhere to be found.
