Perfect for Any Occasion  The
right accessories make every outfit shine
(ARA) - Whether you're heading to the boardroom or the ballroom,
you need to be prepared. Carry the right bag -- and the right
accessories -- and you'll be ready for any occasion. The right
accessory can pull together a look, and allow you to stand out
from the crowd.
Get Down to Business
Just because you tote files and papers doesn't mean you have to
sacrifice style. Laptop bags, totes and briefcases all come in
luxury fabrics and great colors. Try picking up this season's
trend with crocodile textures and colors like green or orange.
Classic fabrics such as suede, leather and canvas will stand up
to heavy-duty loads. Don't forget to include a matching
cell-phone case. A case that attaches to the bag's strap will
make it easy to retrieve when it rings. Make a memorable -- and
polished -- statement with other accessories that keep you
organized. Business card holders don't have to be all business.
Show off your personality with a design that reflects your
character. Cases can be funky, retro, glitzy or glamorous. They
make great gifts too!
Weekend Style
With errands, appointments and shopping, weekends can rival
workdays in busyness. Keep everything together with a handbag
that can organize your world for you. Multiple pockets, durable
fabrics and good looks are important features in bags that need
to travel the distance from soccer games to drinks with friends.
Versatile bags, such as The Find's Satchel from ShopNBC, offers
of-the-moment pony-skin prints in a range of colors. Or try a
bag like The Find's Polished Perfection style that boasts
outside pockets, interior compartments and big buckles. It's
much easier to keep track of all those important items when your
list travels with you. A notepad case with paper and pen, like
the Undersea design by Mary Frances, adds a dash of style in a
convenient size.
On the Go
A versatile, goes-with-everything handbag is an essential piece
for traveling. Seek out a style that will coordinate with a
range of outfits and occasions -- from a day of sightseeing to
an evening at an intimate bistro. Classic shapes in black or
brown leather will take you from city to countryside without
showing any of the dust and grime you may pick up on the way.
Look for a handle that will fit comfortably both on your
shoulder and in your hand, since you might be carrying it for
extended periods of time. Secure pockets and snap closures offer
extra security. And remember to bring along those items that you
can't live without and are hard to replace on the road. An extra
pair of glasses is something that many travelers forget until
it's too late. Keep a set on hand at all times in a cushioned
case and you won't miss a vista. A leather passport holder will
keep your most important items together. The Invicta cover from
ShopNBC has room for your passport, credit cards, ID and
receipts.
Black Tie Affair
For special occasions, the right handbag can make an outfit. A
simple black dress becomes memorable when paired with a
va-va-voom accessory. To make an entrance they'll never forget,
add a little bling. The Sonia B. handbag from the Gallerie de
Bijoux Collection from ShopNBC delivers major impact with a
black satin bag sporting 61 diamonds in a pave setting on the
clasp. Or try a shot of color with a metallic mesh and colored
leather bag from Whiting & Davis. Don't forget to glam up the
contents as well! A jeweled compact mirror and a shimmery
lipstick case are the perfect match for an exceptional evening.
Whether an investment piece you'll use for years to come, or a
trendy item that shows off your fun side, accessories are the
perfect way to add a little personality into your wardrobe.
