The cross-body bag is a classic. A must-have and our go-to. A bag that every girl has and can’t have enough of (or is that just us?). Designer or not, the cross-body bag is the perfect bag for everything. Festivals, fashion week, every day or a night on the town. Whether it is embellished or plain, black or white, ladies you must ‘invest’ in a cross-body.

We all need that one (or multiple) special bag that we use for date night. A bag that makes us feel extra pretty and well just extra! If you ask us, gold hardware is the way to go. You can never go wrong with a classic black and gold bag especially for evening events. They are timeless and they are stunning. A clutch or cross body is our pick and nothing too big. Keep it small but big enough to fit the date night essentials.
Our pick: Chloe Drew Bijou Shoulder Bag
While having a long strap on a bag is classic and easy, why not change things up with a smaller top handle? Not only do they look good but they have plenty of room for all your girly needs. Release the inner fashionista in you and try something a little out there and something a little fun. The hand-held bag ups the ante of any outfit, not to mention making a killer Insta worthy pic.
Our pick: The Row Leather Tote
