Miuccia Prada’s womenswear collection for Autumn Winter 2013 captured the designer’s vision of “raw elegance” through disheveled glamour. Models strutted down the runways, hair unkempt and lips rouged, to a Hitchcock Heroine film noir music motif. The look juxtaposes high and low elements, where vintage silk slips pair effortlessly under tailored coats and luxe furs. Waistlines are nipped and shoulders exposed, riffing on Fourties’ style silhouettes. To channel Miuccia’s vision, pair plush pieces like Club Monaco’s faux fur vest over a simple black dress, or a rich leather skirt under a cable knit cardigan. Metallic embellishments add an edgy finishing touch here, transcending these ensembles between late night and early morning. As always, this Prada girl is modern, mysterious and perfectly undone.

This spring, we are seeing a revival of a refreshingly ladylike and sophisticatedly structured handbag taking the place of the over-stuffed, bottomless pit hobo we once knew and loved. To get this elegant, grown-up look yourself, take style cues from the season’s most desirable handbags from designers like Maison Martin Margiela and Michael Kors who play with bold colors and intricate shapes we have not seen enough of since the ‘60s! By investing in a higher quality textile from a reputable design house, this classic handbag will be a chic piece you’ll cherish for years to come and even be able to pass on as a vintage piece later in life.

2. MICHAEL Michael Kors Large Selma Top-Zip Satchel in Citrus, $358
3. Marc Jacobs The Large Single Bag, $895

Mary Poppins may have known a thing or two about bags but the rest of us who don’t have magical abilities could still use a few tricks up our sleeves when it comes to purses. Here’s a quick guide on the newest bag shapes to have to keep all your personal possessions close at hand.
Clutches:
Whether skinny and sleek or big and bold, evenings out require patent finishes and textured skins with structured envelopes and angular shapes. Go bananas over this yellow option from ASOS ($36.55 US) or dazzle with this sequined ZARA ($24.80) option.
Satchels:
This school girl throw-back comes in the newest blind-out brights and luxe metallic finishes. Snatch one up from Cambridge (£100) or Proenza ($1190) for some Grade-A style.
Oversize Bags:
Pull a Poppins with one of these oversize bags and make sure you always have what you need at all times. Alexander Wang ($1,030) and Topshop (£65) have excellent options.
Tote Bags:
These may not be designer but are just as trend-right – wear these eco-friendly bags to the market or while carrying books and you’ll be a hit anywhere. Urban Outfitters ($29.99 US) has a great neutral option while Maptotes ($17 US) can have you representing in style in any city.
