A few things that I came to realize as I get older: 1) I no longer take great interest in the latest and greatest trend of the season, the hottest items, the IT bags, the "must-haves"... 2) As my friend Serious Shopper said before, how do we choose to spend our time in the daily mundane life is the utmost important, and I agree 100%. 3) The things that interest me the most now are the ones that are functional, simple and classic. The ones that get the job done, beautifully designed, and you know will go with anything in your wardrobe or in your house. The Celine Trio bag is one of those things.
Cross-body bag is the one item that I suspect every girl has in her closet. Some own more than one. I, as no exception, used to and still do own a few. But the one that I reach out to over and over again of late is this Celine Trio bag. I got mine in Paris - was looking for a black or a maroon color initially but stumbled upon this navy one. It's dark enough that it almost looks like black and still has a nice blue sheen to it. It's light and functional - the three individual pouches actually allow you to fit quite a bit of your daily essentials - I've tried to stuff my wallet, lip balm, mirror, lipstick, hand balm, tissues, keys, iPhone and a portable cellphone charger in it without it looking overly bulky. Its buttery leather gets better after every use. Its minimal design allows it to match perfectly with almost everything you're wearing. Use it as a cross-body bag, a shoulder bag, or just hold it as a pouch. I survived my one-week in Paris just carrying the trio. I take it with me to go to the museum, go to the market, go for a walk along the Hudson river, go get an ice-cream... It's my go-to bag on the weekend. It's easy, effortless, and so chic. I can't imagine my life without it.
What's your go-to bag on the weekend?
