Nail Polish

Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent's Nailhead Bag

To hear your etiquette-obsessed elders tell it, good posture is the secret to happiness.

But for you, slouching is a way of life. Why sit up at work when you can be eye level with your keyboard? Levi’s look so much cooler when you stand like a delinquent. And slumping at the dinner table? It gets the food to your mouth faster.

For those who have embraced their inner (and outer) slouch, there’s the Nailhead Bag from Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent. The unstructured, over-the-shoulder design is made of supple leather (in blue, lavender, brown, burnt orange, and green) covered in pixilated metallic gold leaf and diamond-cut gold stones.

The roomy inside has sateen piping, two small pockets, and a hidden magnetic closure. Combine that with the twinkly, night-sky appeal of the bag’s exterior, and it’s proof that a relaxed posture can be the key to success.

See? Even a slouch can reach for the stars.

Available at Premium 93, 3699 McKinney Avenue, in the West Village (214-526-2884).
