Every office-savvy girl knows she needs a stylish classic bag that she can use daily and is big enough to hold of all her essentials. We need a bag that is durable, decent sized and will remain classically stylish with whatever we wear that day.
That’s why we’ve picked Prada’s Galleria medium sized tote in soft light grey calf leather. It’s detailed with polished silver hardware and the label’s recognizable triangle plaque, and it has three separate compartments for your possessions.
Prada Galleria medium textured-leather tote, US$2,260 from Net-a-porter.

Yes, we know it’s not quite coat weather here, ever, but we just adore this grey pleated coat by Loveless. Made from 100% lambswool, it features black banding as a waist belt without actually having a belt, and black bands on the cuffs to match too. There’s a detachable fur collar so you can switch up your style depending on your mood that day. If you’re moving from air con to air con, you’ll be safe to wear outerwear such as this – and these other options are chic and great to wear in Singapore too.

Italy is renowned for its quality and style in their clothing and accessories, and Casadei pieces are of no exception.
