They may be stupidly overpriced at $300 for the large and $280 for the small, but the ruching on these hobos was enough to sell them to me...velvet is one of my favourite trends this season and this bag does the slouchy softness perfectly. I love the antique-looking green tinged 'leaf' colourway, but perhaps the larger chocolate coloured bag is more practical for day.
[insert your own 'furry muff' joke here]
I don't think I really need to say much on this one, except that it's £10 at ASOS if you'd like to be a walking punchline for the rest of your life.
I actually prefer the black version of this £695 studded Isabella Fiore hobo, but with the light green you get more of an idea how much time and energy has been put into all the detail. I've yet to see a Fiore design that isn't covered head to toe with something! Be it tooling, studs, embroidery or multi-coloured leather, in the handbag world, the brand is synonymous with intricate detail. This bag is no exception, but since it's only one colour, it will go with far more outfits than most of its rivals. Loving it!
On a recent trip to Urban Outfitters, I found myself peculiarly drawn to these chunky, silk-wrapped beaded necklaces. They're nothing like my usual style and if I saw them in a magazine (or on a website, natch) I'd probably overlook them. But in real life, they're quite fabulous and look amazing dressing up an unstructured vintage tee or a cotton cami. They're $38 online, or about £25 in UK stores.

Are you a Chloe fan a very tight budget? In that case, Target has come to your rescue! This bag isn't going to pass for the real thing, but it does have many of the same details as the must-have Silverado bag. For only $16.99 it's quite a cute bag in its own right, and not a bad buy at all if you can but dream of Chloe! If you can spend a bit more, head over to World Of Girl for a $42 cheapie that looks freakily like the real thing.
