I came to the conclusion that I must have been a visiting doctor in one of my previous lives due to my preference for bags that come with the option of a top handle, even the backpack I take to the gym I hold it from its top handle. Whenever I’m planning on buying a bag, there are a few things I look for including, the main long handle, organizing compartment, zipper sealed pockets, and small open pockets to keep things as credit cards or random business cards from acquaintances… My wallet ends up weighing too much, so I seldom use it. This roundup of top handle bags include some of the already popular ones and others newcomers to the party, some with full price tickets, while others pre-owned.

I love Giorgia Tordini’s style, well tha’s me together with 127+ instagramers who stalk her impeccably polished looks.  Originally from Italy, she was born in Milan, her fashion style is timeless with clean silhouettes, a bit masculine without unnecessary fanfare.  Her style is sleek, classic and discrete resulting in effortless classic looks.  Her beauty routine also shows signs of effortless beauty; little make up which she doesn’t need with such beautiful skin, perfect hair style and nails painted in red.  Giorgia is the designer and co-founder, together with her sister, of the fashion label, The Attico.  She is always perfectly dressed to the T, choosing outfits that can be easily transitioned into evening ones.  Tordini has a knack for chic jewelry, especially vintage which she collects.

‘I don’t have specific style rules, but I like to buy timeless pieces that I’ll never tire of. My staples are blazers and skinny jeans, so most of the time I stick to this combination. My style is pretty classic, but never predictable – I like to accessorise with special jewellery or a pair of statement shoes.’  as she told Matches Fashion.

The cool days are here, although don’t put your money on it. If Fall weather is anything, that is unpredictable. Unquestionably the seasons for sandals and open shoes went into hibernation and since Autumn is such a cozy and pretty season, I believe our feet attire should rise to the occasion. Bring on the velvet boots and bring them in color because basic is just that, basic. Also why not match our shoes to the Fall colorful trees… There are a zillion of colorful velvet boots to choose from, from high heels to low heels, from pink to blue… Here’s a roundup of colorful velvet boots to make it easier on you…
