Searching for the perfect carryall for spring? Handbags can make or break an outfit, but they have to work with your personal style (read: personality). Whether you’re the kind of girl who likes everything in its place or one who just wants a place for everything, we’ve got you covered. Here’s how to wear some of the best bag trends of the season.
