A/W blues: Stylish statement handbags...
Colour is a big deal this season with fashion enthusiasts, magazines and designers all turning to rich and bold shades to battle the typically dull a/w blues.
But what happens if you're not a fan of the berrys, teals, purple and oranges that are the perfect winter warmers but want to embrace a shot of colour in your wardrobe?
Aside from looking to statement pieces such as shorts, skinny jeans or blazers, there is one sure fine way to add a spark to an outfit, and that's accessorising.
So to help you get inspired with style's signature statement piece: The blue handbag...

As you can see, there is no set style/shade when rocking your chosen blue bag this season. Where the croc effect bag from Dorothy Perkins may be more appropriate for the office, the interestingly shaped, silver tassle pretty is fun and funky for keeping in touch with the edgy side of fashion.
Who said that your blue bag had to be big to catch the eye of style this season? These little cuties are perfect for nights out or if you're a lady who carries very little on her person during the day. We love the black tassle on this wrist bag from Dorothy Perkins. Great for nights out and trendy as anything you'll see for the price this year.

Cobalt blue is definitely stand out this season. Though you may associate blue with being a cold colour, this bright shade is the perfect colour to make any outfit, casual or smart, day or officewear pop this season. We especially love this envelope clutch from Boohoo.com - it's super stylish but oversized to fit in all our lovely female clutter!
