This Fall: The Chain Gang...

I'm thinking Fall is all about updated classics!  The button-down shirt, menswear, tweed blazers and skirts, oxfords, loafers,  and the list goes on.   Don't you think?  Well, lets talk handbags with a chain strap.  Major classic and to me always in style.   I love a handbag with a chain strap especially with a simple blazer and a pair of jeans.   It adds that flair and steps your look up a bit!   

Here are some of my favs...

Gucci 1973 Shoulder bag

Botkier Lucy Crossbody bag

TopShop box chain leather bag

Zara Suede Citybag

A few vintage ones...

1960's Robert Bestien vintage bag
