There’s no need to call attention to the rapidly changing season, oh wait- I just did. Ladies all over the world are swapping out their fun, small summer sacks for heavier, heartier autumn frocks. I find in the autumn, when my clothing is more bulky and I’m constantly swapping out layers, my handbags tend to become more of a nuisance than a fashion item. The solution I’ve found comes in mustard and eggplant and fortunately is just the right price.

The Lucky “Abbey Road” Leather Cross Body ($178) bag is the perfect answer to my prayers. Not only can you sport the bug snuggly under your arm, but, with the weather changes and incessant bulky clothing, you can cross the long strap across your body and comfortably go about your day.

I’m extremely fond of the narrow, long silhouette of the bag. It lends nicely to any autumn outfit, without taking away from the bomber leather jackets or plaid undertones that are so prominent in the upcoming season. $178 available at Lord and Taylor
