If you’re looking for a new handbag for summer, consider buying a navy satchel. It has all the versatility of a neutral but is a more unique choice than brown or grey.

It’s allegedly spring. However, for every minute of sunshine, there seems to be an hour of rain and gloom. So while I’d love to wear lighter spring pieces, it’s time to bring on the layers.
Inside the reader mail bag there are questions about summer beauty, hiring a personal shopper, navigating a sudden breakouts, and more. Let’s dig in!
And just like that, it’s April. Summer is almost upon us, and the retailers are filled with linen wares. Now, you know that I am usually unwilling to wear linen to work due to the wrinkles. But in this post-pandemic world, perhaps my mind can change.

Since Sloane was born, I’ve fallen hard into a black, white, and blue wardrobe. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but as spring blooms, I need a little color in my wardrobe (and probably a little print too). Here are a few tops that caught my eye for work.
Sigh. Oh, Zac Posen, how I love you. Reasonable price, too, although still out of my price range this summer.
I had been carrying a grey bag for the last year or so (gone are the days when I’m switching handbags every morning) and just purchased a navy quilted shoulder bag that can go cross body. So far I’m loving how versatile the color is but I also LOVE the cross body for walking to work!
Zac Posen’s structured satchels have always attracted me, and the price isnt too bad for the quality..but I am not a bag person and that completely throws me off. But I do need a good bag,so this a good set of suggestions..May be the paid intern will work..Thanks again Belle 🙂
When you start school again could you do a post about what bag you’re using for your laptop and books? I’m going back in January and I want to buy something before I don’t have a salary anymore.
The leather on the Zac Posen looks super soft. It’s gorgeous!

Belle, what are you going to be carrying to school? Backpack? Large tote? I’m starting back grad school in a few weeks and can’t decide what to purchase.
As a former law student who really wanted to carry a nice bag and look sleek etc. my best advice is get a big ol’ North Face backpack and just deal. Unless you only study at school you’re gong to be lugging some heavy books. Some girls who drove in managed it, but if you need to walk or take public transit you’ll end up trading your pretty book bag for a backpack pretty fast.
Agreed – I’m a returning student and finishing up 1L. We have lockers on campus, but even so, a backpack was necessary most of the time. The majority of students used backpacks, so at least you won’t be alone.
This semester has had fewer books (one professor joined the modern age; everything needed for class was housed online) so I was able to switch to a Lo & Sons OG bag, which is by far the best laptop/everyday bag I have ever owned. Give them a look. Congrats on school, Annie!
