Sometimes the season's fads are hard to wear. However, the ever-popular denim trend need not be one of them. Rather than wearing the cringe-worthy denim jacket and jeans combo, instead you can fling on this cute denim style bag from accessible designer Nine West. Indeed, you can even combine the "New Nudes" trend, with the delicate beige trim and pale adjustable strap.

The bag itself isn't actually denim, and this is where it really succeeds in being great. Rather than jumping on the jean bandwagon, Nine West have chosen a patent denim-lookalike fabric with just a hint of snakeskin. This gives you the worn and fashionable look, but means the purse will last more than a single season. Think of it as an investment for a number of trends, rather than one highly-specific item. Of course, it looks darn good with it, which always helps!

Now, I know what you are thinking, because once upon a time I would have thought it too. Cross-body shoulder bags just aren't "cool". We associate them with practicality but not looks, brains but not beauty. Even worse, they conjure associations of the much maligned fanny packs! Much has changed in the past few years, however, and now you can have the best of both worlds. This mini-tote is truly functional, yet very pretty. It won't hold your folders, but an iPhone, keys and makeup will fit in with room to spare.

A great bag through summer and even winter, this day purse is great for trend followers who don't like to take the look to extremes. Wear it with nude skyscraper heels and modest harem pants for a perfectly on trend look, or really draw out the blue with denim colored highlights throughout your outfit. Gorgeous!
