In a movement away from all the big and slouchy carryalls or teeny-tiny “necklace bags”, the small and structured bag is looking just right. Big enough to make a statement and petite enough to go from day to dinner, the neat bag will bring a polished note to everything from wear-it-to-work looks to casual dresses and jeans. Many have dual handles — one short and one for shoulder or cross-body — making these perfectly-proportioned handbags even more versatile. Ornamental closures and surface decorations add more interest.
Bangs of all kinds update the season’s key hairstyles. Whether short or eyebrow-skimming, the look is full, not wispy. The short fringe/long hair combo recalls the alluring style of ’50s Beatnik chanteuse Juliette Greco, and new clip-on pieces offer the look without the commitment.
