Everyone wants a Cross Bag! Chanel, Dior, Gucci, Lanvin...

All, I mean all of my friends are now shopping for the IT cross bag! Well I’ve been carrying cross bags forever and I can tell you for sure that it is the most stylish effortless accessory to almost all the outfits. I like it with a little dress or tank top and shorts and I have realized that the more the bag is high end the more it gives Chic-ness to anything you put on ! It is indeed the must-have summer bag that every Fashionista will be toting around this season.

The cross-body bag is not only fashionable, but serves a functional purpose. When wearing this bag your hands will be free to sift through racks of clothing while shopping, party freely, and give your shoulders a break! Also adding a pop of color to your wardrobe across a classic LBD or LWD.

My picks for this season in the picture below! In love with the Chanel timeless wallet on Chain, Dior both of them J'adore! and Balenciaga is a passe partout!

Tips: The strap and hardware on cross-body bags are very critical, choose the chain or strap cerefully  a longer one is always better, do not go for big cross bags (pas chic at all) I would say invest in a cross bag with gold or silver accents or chain. If you feel like getting more than one, get a neutral and a bold color ( I always receive compliments on my  flashy green Prada)  Wear your cross bag in 2 different styles, cross or shoulder, depending on the event!

Chanel "The Boy/Girl Show in Paris"

Mademoiselle Chanel was destined for the boyish, straight-line tweeds that strode Lagerfeld’s runway for Chanel at the Grand Palais. Mr. Lagerfeld is rarely nostalgic, but this Autumn/Winter 2011 couture show, with its graphic black and white tweeds and exquisitely detailed evening clothes, seemed to have a narrative that took fashion back to the boy/girl thing.Or as the designer put it: “I like the idea of metamorphosis — a female evolution from boyish to woman.

”The result was a standoff between the compass and the ruler: the curvy woman with her rounded silhouette and the loose, mannish shape. Neither seemed exactly of the moment. And when fuchsia pink was inserted, it jarred with the gray elegy. Maybe because he no longer has his own line to express his graphic, linear vision, Mr. Lagerfeld brought that side of himself to Chanel. But the result was a show that did not entirely catch the poetry of nightfall as intended.

(The show, in fact, took place at 10:30 p.m. because Lagerfeld wanted the collection to be seen at night, would Coco Chanel have approved?)
