A/W 2015/16 Trends: Chloé Drew Inspired Saddle Bag

If I had to choose one and only one item for this fall, the Chloé Drew bag sure comes to mind. The design of this dream piece is essentially a modernised version of saddle bags, which are quite possibly one of the season’s trendiest looks. It has a boho vibe to it, but think boho chic with no necessary fringes to make a statement. It comes in different colours and sizes but my favourite was always the one in tan. Not only it is a beautiful shade, tan seems to be the shade of the season, wouldn't you agree? Suede skirts, brogues, boots, saddle bags…tan is all I can think of.

“Drew” is everywhere you look. From our beloved Pinterest where we search for inspiration, to fashion blogs we all love and envy, to the London Fashion Week; everywhere! And whilst I'm sure most of us would love to proudly wear such a gorgeous piece, our bank accounts would most definitely cry if we chose to take the plunge. I say this because *surprise surprise*, this little beauty, yet rather expensive bag has a not-so-beautiful price tag of £700 (or more, depending on the style). Not prepared to pay such price, it was either lust forever or find a cheaper alternative. I chose the latter, all in the name of fashion.

Paying a fraction of that hefty price tag (£29 to be exact) and going “budget” all over is how I like to keep things around here. Affordable fashion makes me happy, designer pieces are not always necessary to be on trend and this is what I wanted to prove with this look. Let me know below what you think!

Thank you for reading beauties!
