Longchamp Le Pilage bag, Diane von Furstenberg skirt and top, Christian Louboutin heels, silver cuffs (similar here and here) and watch (similar).

Choosing a handbag is by far one of my favorite necessities to shop for—especially for the fall. It’s the accessory that can easily turn heads, change your mood and make a simple outfit ten times cooler. But oh the choices. This is where I often find myself torn—slouchy or structured, cross body or tote, oversized or mini? Nordstrom seems to have it all, which is why I always make sure to take a gander at some of the shapes and styles they have from some brands that never disappoint. This one by Longchamp I couldn’t resist. The neutral shade (how cool is it in this black and white version too?), sophisticated shape and medium size was too good. This one is most definitely getting some play in my fall wardrobe.
