ith an 80's revival currently being felt in the fashion climate, bigger is getting better, whether it's sweaters, coats or hairdos. It's no wonder then, that the baguette is being kissed goodbye. Those who had difficulty streamlining their stuff to suit those slim stashers can breathe a sigh of relief now that they've gone the way of the summer sun. That's right ladies, for fall, it's all about the oversized bag. Inspired by doctors' and bowling bags, the new purse is showing up looking retro in two-tones and faux skins, with great finishes and details, ensuring there's something for everyone who wants to hold everything. Or just take a trip to the local alley for a quick game of 10 pin. - Lesa Hannah
