For Spring 2018, bags are truly coming in all shapes and sizes. Most prevalent of these on the most recent Spring 2018 runways is the circle bag, as many designers opted for unique silhouettes rather than classic styles. Featured in shows like Anya Hindmarch, Balmain, Christian Siriano, and Dolce & Gabbana, this style came complete in bold colors with fun embellishments, perfect for any occasion, day or night.

Most come in a convenient cross body style, making this piece easy to carry around for everyday use. For a version that’s slightly edgier, look for the circle silhouette in a clutch style, like this 3.1 Phillip Lim Alix Circle Clutch. To get the look yourself, make sure to also check out pieces like Brahmin’s Lane Melbourne bag, Anthropologie’s Carolina Circular Crossbody Bag, or Bembien’s Rose Bag, all of which are available online.

I often go out and meet friends or head to an event immediately after work, sometimes changing out my top or dress into something less “office appropriate,” but usually my shoes and handbag remain the same. I need to travel light and travel functional, because if I go home to ‘change,” good luck getting me out the door again!

It’s great to have good versatile pieces that can move from the work place to the chic French bistro down the street where I meet my girlfriends for happy hour; for this Friday afternoon I swapped out an Alternative Apparel t-shirt I was wearing for a more risque handkerchief top, flats for wedges, and added my favorite turquoise double knuckle ring. All day I rocked a great new Goody elastic, which adds a bit of hardware chic via a metal jewelry-inspired bar.
