The bag to live with
It’s funny how men don’t always understand why women have so many bags. When I look at James, carrying in his back pocket a key and a small hand size, paper thin wallet, I wonder why am I so dependent of all the goodies I carry around. Why can’t I live the house without all of this stuff on a day to day basis? One thing that’s reassuring me is that at least twice a day, he’ll ask me for something, a tissue or some band aids. And SO there is indeed a utility in being all prepped up, organized with all living essentials, handy, easy to access of the go now isn’t there? After all, I like to think that if I wasn’t there with my big hand bag full of tricks for him, I would feel at least a little missed :)
By dad also always looks at my gazillion of bags with confusion and misunderstanding. But a bag is really any modern women’s best friend. We have one for each occasion, either it’s party, travel or business. And still the one we use the most is this timeless, big black bag that we live our lives with. It contains our agendas, or multitude of lipsticks (because we can NEVER choose just one for the day), our tickets, snacks, maybe even a pair of flats, or a book… We literally have it all, don’t we?
Having all these little things with me makes me feel at ease during the day, prepared for anything that the day might bring. Ready to fight the storm or switch for a dressier look in just a snap of red lipstick and pearl earrings safely stacked in the back pocket under a golden zipper lock. It almost makes we feel like Mary Poppins sometimes as I can seriously do magic with the treasures I carry around. Don’t underestimate it, it’s a science that takes years to fully master, and still have so many mysteries to figure out.
I like bags that are iconic, versatile, big enough to store everything, great and easy to combine with any look. When I first saw this beauty that Jason Wu created for Hugo Boss, I adored it at first sight for it’s simplicity, minimalism and especially modern silhouette. I’ve been wearing their accessories for quite a while now and honestly adore this piece more than anything else. It’s crazy how much I can put in it and how it dresses up any look I wear. The black leather is super soft and so the bag can really be filled in with tons of things without loosing it’s graphic shape. And of course, the golden details make it look so chic and timeless.
I can’t wait to share with you guys our fashion week diary as NYFW kicked off officially yesterday, but meanwhile discover my day strolling though Geneva with this treasure of a bag by Hugo Boss and stay updated as we have a little surprise planned with the brand for this fashion week!

Hi! since you're talking about bags, can you share your view on a few essential bags every woman should have in their closet? For example, for work, going out, running errands. And since you travel alot, what kind of bag you recommend women to bring around?
Paulynagore

While on topics of bags, you should do another post saying what do you carry inside. I found your previous one and it was really fun. Being so young and yet so acomplished and organized I for one wouldn't mind some tips and tricks that you have on organization in general and things that you carry around that help you stay so organized.

What about when we step out of the house and they're like "oh babe, will you keep my wallet and keys in your bag?". Gosh, my boyfriend does that all the time and I'm like "See, this is why we have so many big bags; it's not me, it's you." Sometimes I have to find some space for his wallet in a really small crossbody bag and I can't even explain to you how I always manage to fit that into the bag.
I'm not a bag person but I can never say no to a timeless black bag, whether it's a Prada or a "Nada". (Ok, I'd rather walk around at least with a Zara bag than with some stinky, fake tote from the chinese store).
Great pictures by the way. I actually voted for your for the Bloglovin' Awards ;) Best of luck!
Love xx Sara

Bonjour,
Je suis un grand fan et un fidèle lecteur, et après avoir dévoré cet article (comme chaque article postés) je tenais à dire que je trouve cette tenue juste magnifique, enfin non, je vous trouve juste magnifique. Une tenue évoquant à la fois la sobriété, et le style. Un mélange parfait qui donne à cette outif toute les qualité d'une tenue parfaite. Et alors quand un telle tenue est portée par une femme aussi magnifique, je crois que c'est ce qu'on peu appelé l'apogée du style.
Cordialement, et avec toute mon admiration, xx

I know this post is supposed to be about the bag, but I also love the turban! I bought one from asos a while ago, but always seem to feel silly whenever I actually try and wear it. However, you've managed to make it look so chic, I may have to start wearing mine again!!! Thanks for the inspiration, and of course the bag is gorgeous too!

I feel the same way from how males don't understand why we have so many bags and always carrying them around, to loving timeless and versitale bags. Also, I'm loving this outfit, it's hard tu pull off long dress, big bag and turban all at once.

Love your turban.
I for one prefer smaller bag and I usually only have the essential phone, wallet, lipstick and keys in it. However I do have everything else you mentioned piled up in my car. So I guess in the end it amounts to the same as having a big bag, only I don't have to carry the weight around with me.
