I love the black and white effect that runs through designers concepts from season to season. It's crisp, classic and can definitely go from night to day and back again. But when people take a classic and add a little something to it, you're not following a trend your embracing something new. I have had the opportunity to look at the 144 Collection which has a variety of bags that are cute, bold and subtle. The one pictured above is entitled The Laura Bag in Black Floral which is a hobo style that has pops of color in red within the backdrop of cream and black (something new on top of a classic statement). This is perfect for running around, brunches and anything in between. It can be worn to a casual event or something that is a little dressier and yet you won't be over or under dressed with this fabulous accessory. I love that there is a pocket on the front which is fabulous to carry your cell, iPod and more. In addition the inner portion of the bag is lined in black and don't you love how large this bag is? You can purchase this bag via the super cute boutique My Bonnie and Clyde (definately look at the bag on this site to see how large it is and how much you need to include this). Enjoy this bag and make sure to see the fabulous finds that 144 Collection continues to create.
