We used to think that satchel bags, with their boxy shape and short handles, were strictly for women who wore shoulder pads and power suits to the office. But clearly, our minds were still stuck in the ‘80s -- along with those shoulder pads. The new satchels come in bright colors (like Furla’s neon rubber versions) and smaller sizes (see...

It’s not every day that we see perfectly executed side-boobage, but, then again, the SAG Awards are only held once a year. And precarious (and braless) cleavage wasn’t the only surprising trend on display on January 27, when the awards took place in Los Angeles. Below, we chose two other color trends that we’re majorly in love with for spring:... CONTINUE READING 5
