THE RIGHT BAG has the potential to make you feel invincible. Even on jeans and T-shirt days, handbags are among the most functional, hardworking accessories in our closet. They hold all our day-to-day items, shielding our valuables from inclement weather, damage and theft, and in most cases, they help complete our polished look. Now more than ever, there are so many choices at so many price points and in every fabric and color known to womankind. It's almost overwhelming to decide on the right bag. Here's a guide to some basic styles for fall 2016 that might make your quest for the perfect bag easier.

People who love thrift stores really love thrift stores. And they were gaining in popularity well before Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' "Thrift Shop" made its best attempt to ruin that trend. Data show that in a given year, approximately 16 percent to 18 percent of Americans will shop at thrift stores. Of course, a thrift store is only as good as the people who supply it, and as luck would have it, the well-to-do on Hilton Head and in Bluffton have plenty of fancy stuff they are constantly getting rid of. Shopping the Lowcountry’s secondhand stores requires some foraging skills, but the bounty of castoffs is well worth it.
