Now Trending: The Best of Bags

This week on Trendabl we have noticed a lot of HOT handbag posts. Whoever said diamonds are a girls best friend has obviously never toted a Celine Trapeze or clutched a classic Chanel. Accessories (handbags, in particular) are known to make or break any outfit. We spent some time perusing the posts and picked out our top 20 bags to feature on the blog. Check them out below:

**REMINDER - we are still donating 10 cents for every image posted to Trendabl to the American Red Cross through tomorrow. NYC has supported Trendabl from the beginning, so its only natural to give the support right back.

Brand? To name a few…Céline, The Row, Helmut Lang, 3.1 Phillip Lim, YSL…and the list goes on…

What inspires your Trendabl posts? My style is geared by emotion. I wear what I’m feeling and even though I always dress for myself, I find it intriguing to see how I’ve inspired others.

If you could shop anyone’s closet, whose would it be? Definitely Ashley Olsen – I borrowed her Chinese qipao that she wore for a photo shoot for my 5th grade cotillion and it was my first fashion risk. My first purchase from her closet would be her vintage Fendi Crocodile Tote. So chic! I’d also love to shop Emmanuelle Alt’s closet. I adore her low-maintenance, minimalist, androgynous style, always accompanied by a leather jacket or blazer. To me, that’s the sexiest way for a woman to dress.

What trend are you most excited to incorporate into your summer wardrobe? Printed palazzo pants

Who would you most like to see on Trendabl? Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Harper Beckham

What fashion motto do you live by? “Anyone can get dressed up and glamorous, but it is how people dress in their days off, that are the most intriguing.” – Alexander Wang
