Hi all, I’m looking for a crossbody bag for myself.

I’m 30, pretty trendy, but no idea what the classy stylish people wear.

I’d love a Prada, Fendi, LV but can’t afford that yet.
Right now looking to spend between $400-500.

Any ideas?

I have an LV but I like my leatherology and botkier bags just as much

But my look is classy not trendy

Maybe Marc Jacobs or Tory Burch would have what you’re looking for

These ideas are great. Marc Jacobs has cool picks. Also will check out Tory Burch

My coat is camel colored - what color bag should I go with?

My friend just got a coach pillow like cross body and it’s actually really cool.. considering to get one for myself and I’m a pretty cool person so people tell me… I think Marc Jacobs is a little bit dated and coach is coming back. With a camel coat I would do black or do tan and use it for all year:)

If you don't mind previously loved but in like new condition, you can find authentic Prada and Ferragamo on Poshmark. I think I learned somewhere both use the same leathers and I have bags from both designers and I really cannot tell who I love more.

If you’re cool, can I pick your brain? How do you find the pieces that give you a sophisticated look?

So I don’t go for sophisticated I go for cool & classy.
I shop a lot. Jewish non Jewish I see what’s in style.
I’m not gonna lie it comes naturally to me, I have an eye for it & im good at it, it’s one of the few things I’m good at lol
I think somethings are just basic and you always look dressed
Ex: a black pleated skirt, put a print turtleneck under and a cardigan/ blazer/ vest and wallah an outfit!
You can take the same pleated skirt and put a funky sweater with it!

Good for you that it’s innate. I do have some sense of it but I sometimes feel like I’m behind the times and only do fashionable moves once I see it a bunch of times.

On a technical level, I think it’s also a lot about knowing how to accessorize properly, no?

Do you follow any influencers on Instagram? They usually post what’s in style and sometimes even with links!
