Put a Belt On It

Western belts are having a major moment and none so much as B-Low the Belt's Bri Bri belt

Seen on just about every blogger, celebrity, and model over the last 6 months, Bri Bri and little  sister, Baby Bri Bri are considered the holy grail of accessories going into spring. So much so that almost every designer has their own (cheaper!) copy. 

I, along with everyone in my office, recently picked up this version from Asos. It's real leather and the metal buckles have a nice weight to them. It gets the trend across without doing a number on my bank account.

If there's one bag that's been talked about the most this season (thanks to Mansur Gavriel and YSL), it's the bucket bag. 70s icon and it-girl accessory du jour, the bucket bag is the epitome of casual cool. Black and heavily studded, it works downtown for drinks. In soft caramel leather, it channels a more collegiate vibe. Preppy or edgy, there's a version out there for everyone. This is not a new silhouette. There are a lot of versions out there at a lot of different price points. Thrifting for this bag could be the best deal out there.
