There’s a richness to suede that I’ve always loved for fall. This classic-with-a-twist style has a heavy chain strap and playful fringe to keep it from feeling too prim.

My husband and I are always traveling on the weekends, especially during this time of year, and the Louis Vuitton Puffer duffel checks every box for a brief getaway.

The black leather can camouflage signs of having jumped from cab to train to car to… And the trendy puffer style feels super cozy, even if we’re stuck on Metro North.

Considering most of my wardrobe falls on a gradient between black and white, it’s nice to add a zest of color with accessories — this royal blue Balenciaga bag goes with everything. And despite its traditional top-handle shape, it still feels interesting with the ironic white logo.
