New York Fashion Week just kicked off and we're already blown away by the amazing street style. It's especially hard to look effortlessly cool when it's freezing outside, but we're not succumbing to the Michelin Man effect just yet.

Serving as the happy medium between big satchels and small clutches, it's no wonder why we love little bags so much. These perfectly sized bags are ideal for those days when you don't have to lug around your laptop (or don't want to) or when you want to keep the load light on weekend shopping trips, concert excursions, and on a night out — you catch our drift. The bottom line: these little bags are packed with possibilities, despite their outward appearance, for you to wear now and straight into Spring. And while we value our roomy totes and carry-everything shoulder bags, it's time we downsized, the stylish way. Thus, we've handpicked the best of the bunch for you to shop. From this patent silver Proenza Schouler PS11 mini to Jason Wu's coloblocked crossbody, herein find the prettiest, most irresistible minibags on the market right now.
The Chloé fragrance franchise has been on the rise ever since it relaunched the namesake scent back in 2008. Coty, the fragrance house responsible for the brand's recent scents, is finally introducing an eau de parfum for the See by Chloé branch, according to WWD.
The new fragrance, featuring notes of apple blossom accord, jasmine, vanilla, and sandalwood, is influenced by the fun, youthful vibe of the See by Chloé apparel and accessories, and the radiant bottle is inspired by the shape of a birdcage. Available in three different eau de parfum sizes ($58-$98), there will also be complementing body lotion ($45) and a shower gel ($40) within the line. Described as "mischievous" with a "rock 'n roll edge," look for these See by Chloé scents in department and specialty stores this February.

Kate Bosworth was spotted out and about in Beverly Hills wearing a simple black tank with navy trousers. Proving the power of accessories, her striped belt, these See by Chloé tan ankle-strap sandals ($112, originally $250), a Jerome Dreyfuss Fredo tan shoulder bag ($740), and Ray-Ban aviators really kicked up her style. Mimic Kate's latest look by pairing a black tank with navy trousers, then finish off with her exact bag, sandals, and shades.
Clare Waight Keller's Spring 2013 collection for See by Chloé focuses on helping city dwellers meet the challenges of the season with a relaxed and casual ease. A concentration on movement means the offering is light, airy, and for the most part free of decoration. Suit separates cinched at the waist with loose bows created flatteringly long lines, while oversize quilted cotton jackets offered a cocoon of warmth from early Spring's chilly winds. A hooded lamb's leather jacket, chunky cotton sweaters, and a few thin toppers in technical nylon were also useful shields against the elements — but the collection wasn't all utilitarian. Even city girls need flirty cocktail dresses, and Keller answered that call with brightly colored silk georgette frocks that flutter in the breeze.

If you prefer your silhouettes draped (but never sloppy) and your textures laid-back (but totally refined), then look no further than See by Chloé's Spring 2013 collection. Each ensemble, from head to toe, gave off that effortless impression that there's no reason not to give your more casual wares a subtle, albeit luxurious, upgrade. We're talking gathered-waist leather trousers that appeal just as much to a sportier sensibility as they would to a sleek uptown girl, or a well-tailored nylon anorak in the prettiest shade of coral meant for all-purpose layering. With much attention paid to getting the fit just right — the centrally ruched viscose jersey shiftdresses prove our point perfectly — and slick belted details, it's easy to see why this line is notorious for its downtown-cool status. If you need extra evidence of this collection's low-key vibe meets chic execution, we have four words for you: cap-toe ankle boots. Check out the rest of the details below, then click on for the complete See by Chloé Spring '13 lineup.
