If you're in the market for a crossbody bag, you might want to check out these Fab picks from OnSugar blog Sharp Sisters.

Although I love my big "errand runner" bags which are great for storing all of one's lovely daily essentials, when it comes to traveling I like to downsize. With a trip coming up right around the corner, I've been scouring websites looking for just the right "crossbody" purse to tote around so I can keep my hands free to snap pics. The aqua blue Chloe below is my favorite, but there were so many adorable choices:

Cool Idea: Flower BagPack

Cool Idea: Flower BagPack

Young Polish designers Olga Dabrowska and Adam Groch (aka +OYO) created the Flower BagPack (prototype) as an alternative for the cellophane wraps for bouquets.

Young Polish designers Olga Dabrowska and Adam Groch (aka +OYO) created the Flower BagPack (prototype) as an alternative for the cellophane wraps for bouquets. The bag is not only good-looking, but also eco-friendly and more functional than the traditional cellophane sleeve.

There are two variations of the design. One is meant for one-time use and to be recycled, as it is made from only waste paper and cardboard. It allows bouquets to be packed quickly and stores easily, and is very compact. The other is meant for multiple uses — for the charming man who makes a habit of bringing his girl flowers — and is made of cellulose and leather leftovers, both ecological materials. It can be rolled up and stored when it's not in use.


Pretty clever, eh? Makes me want to go out and buy myself a bouquet! To see additional photos, read more

Trick or Treat with Anya Hindmarch err Hindwitch

Holiday marketing ploys are something we usually view with suspicion but Anya Hindmarch has found a charming way to celebrate Halloween.
by coutorture

Holiday marketing ploys are something we usually view with suspicion but Anya Hindmarch has found a charming way to celebrate Halloween. Customers will be invited to pick a sweet (toffee candy) from Anya Hindwitch’s Trick or Treat bag (no purchase necessary).

Those who pull out a Treat may win an Anya Hindmarch bag, clutch, purse or key ring from the Autumn/Winter 2008 collection or be asked to perform funny forfeits such as Balance a bag on your head or walking from one end of the shop to the other cackling like a witch as a trick. And of course there will be plenty of treats on hand such as sinister stickers and spooky sweets like jelly brains, skullcrushers and lucky bones to keep children of all ages happy.

This "Maggie" clutch is one potential treat!

John Galliano's "Tribal Chic" Spring 2009 accessories thankfully did not manifest in masks or prints, but in fertility goddess heel figurines, vibrant earthy red crocodile platforms, and exotic hobos.

What's Haute Shoutout: Woven Wonders

Its not just about Bottega Veneta's intrecciato anymore when it comes to woven bags.
by coutorture Botkier Marysia Woven White Snaksin ClutchIts not just about Bottega Veneta's intrecciato anymore when it comes to woven bags. What's Haute has found this delightful white Botkier Marysia Clutch. She is more excited about it as a summer clutch but the woven snakeskin is what caught our eye. Most of the time doing a woven bag is like asking to be compared to the classic Bottega intrecciato but we are discovering that other bag designers are finding ways to make the weave their own. We particularly like the Elliott Lucca 'Pascale' Hobo Bag and Prada's Tessuto Weave Fore More Shoutouts Click Here

How Many Bags Do You Carry to Work?

This morning on the bus I realized I was the most loaded person, bag wise.
by

This morning on the bus I realized I was the most loaded person, bag wise. From my purse to my computer bag to my gym and lunch bags, I was a sight to be seen. Carrying one big bag isn't really the answer either. Feeling so over burdened, I thought I would see if there are other fit souls still lugging their gym bags around along with all those other necessities. So what about you guys . . .

Oversize bags, purses, and gym bags can be convenient, but they're not good for your back, your shoulders, or your neck.

Oversize bags, purses, and gym bags can be convenient, but they're not good for your back, your shoulders, or your neck. O magazine loves to give tips on being both trendy and healthy. And what's more important than a woman's health and her purse?

Here are a few highlights on keeping your bag safe for your body:

  • Your weight and your fate: (New York-based chiropractor) Isis M. Medina's rule is that you should tote no more than 10 percent of your body weight—so a bag that's more than five pounds when empty is a bad start. If your load is excessive, your head and neck jut forward rather than staying over your shoulders, which can lead to headaches, neck tension, and back pain.
  • Getting a handle: Long-strapped shoulder bags are out: They tug you to one side in a C shape, with the purse bumping at your hip and the strap slipping (so you hunch up your shoulder to keep it in place). Avoid chains, too; they tend to gouge the flesh. Look for short handles, not too flimsy or narrow (with very skinny straps on a hefty bag, you're asking for trouble).
  • No feed bags: Slouchy may be in, but Medina likes structure: When items shift around and aren't well distributed, your balance is thrown off. Even an oversize bag can work, the doctor assures us, if it's got a definite shape, a firm base, and inner compartments to keep belongings stable.
  • Easy access: If you have to do a major dig to find your phone or comb, you're twisting and distorting your torso. You want possessions to be reachable yet secure—a long top zipper or magnetic closure helps; Medina also likes outside pockets for frequently needed essentials.

Fit's Tip: Check out the Puddle Jumper Bag for all your gym gear, it's one that I think Medina would approve.
