Why not try? A Coral Crossbody Bag

I walked into one of my favourite Toronto boutiques, Riant, last week and spotted the perfect crossbody bag. The size was just right for all my essentials, but that wasn't what caught my attention, it was the eye popping colour. The object of my desire was no other than the Mackage Novaki-S4 Small Crossbody Bag, available in store at Riant for $225.

Although you may not necessarily think to pick up such a bold colour, the bag itself is quite versatile and can transform between each season. The obvious choice for spring/summer, it would look wonderful beside a stark white pair of jeans or bright yellow shorts, and would pop against floral prints and royal blues.

So the next time you have the choice between picking a black bag or a bold one, why not try a coral bag?  

Sneakin' Around: The Wedge Sneaker

Another shoe trend started by Isabel Marant, the wedge sneaker (seen: here via Net-A-Porter) has caught on and has begun to spread like wildfire. The reason? You can look good while being comfortable and who doesn't want that!

Giuseppe Zanotti has come out with his own version (seen: here via SSENSE) but not everyone has $745 laying around to spend on sneakers so luckily Nasty Gal has an assortment of sneakers for you to sink your teeth into for a fraction of the cost!

Love it or Leave It: Utilitarian Boots

Left, Left, Right, Left... Repeat...

Utilitarian is a look synonymous with fall and although a chic blazer is always able to give you an edge these boots are able to stand out without upstaging your entire outfit. The boots were chosen as an essential autumn pick by the girls at WhoWhatWear and they suggest wearing them with your favorite knit layers. The high heel takes lace up combat boots to new heights so you can step out in style with a look that is truly effortless.
