Juicy Couture has been making some ridiculously adorable handbags and accessories lately and now you can go to the beach in style with Juicy Couture now too. Juicy Couture has recently came out with a beach chair, umbrella, and cooler to make your days at the beach that much more stylish.

Now Juicy Couture has brought six different beach totes in a variety of colors to bring with us to the beach too! My personal favorite color in the beach tote is the blue multicolor with the pink towel.

I think all the beach totes are stunning, and what is so awesome is that they are so spacious! You can literally fit so much in the beach tote, including the Juicy Couture towel that comes with the tote.

The tote is made of PVC and has a drawstring closure that is embellished with ruffled flowers. It’s definitely adorable and makes any day at the beach more fashionable.

The best part about the Juicy Couture Beach Tote is the phrase that is printed on the front of the tote. The phrase reads, “Her Majesty Juicy Couture.” There are no better words to say it that us Juicy Couture girls deserve the best and most stylish items no matter where we are even if that means the beach!

Here is another pink bag alert, and this particular pink bag is an amazing one. The pink bag that has me drooling at the moment is the Botkier Soft Pleated Hobo. It’s gorgeous, stunning, and perfect for Spring.

I’m absolutely loving how the handbag has exterior zip pockets and the fringe on the pockets give the handbag a type of Balenciaga flare to it. Some other features of the handbag include: being made of supple Italian leather; a top zip closure; measurements of 15 1/2″W x 10 1/2″H which gives you plenty of room for your essentials; and a removable shoulder strap drop.

My favorite part of the handbag is the beautiful pink color of the bag. It’s a type of rose pink color and would be perfect for the upcoming Spring 2009 handbag season. The fact tat the Botkier Soft Pleated Hobo is a pink shoulder bag makes the handbag all the more unique and fabulous.

The Botkier Soft Pleated Hobo in pink is available at Nordstrom for $595. $595 seems like a bit much for the handbag, but I won’t deny that it is absolutely beautiful. If you aren’t in love with the pink version, as seen above, have no fear the Botkier Soft Pleated Hobo also comes in Black and Silver. Check out the Black version over at Nordstrom, it too is stunning!!

The Marc Jacobs Christy Bag has been around for awhile now. Hiding in the shadows, it seems as though it is often overlooked as people admire Marc’s more well-known creations. But the Christy Bag, in my opinion, has some good potential. It is more of a classic-looking bag, not unlike the Blake or the Multi-Pocket Hobo. What I like most about it is it’s slouchy shape and simple magnetic top closure. I also love, love, love the little pushlocks securing the zippers on the front pockets (Good ol’ Marc and his fascination with pushlocks!). The Marc Jacobs Christy Bag offers a look that is both chic and versatile, perfect for everyday use. This bag is currently available in Black polished calfskin leather. It measures approximately 14″ x 11″ x 5″. And the price? It’s actually not too shabby for a Marc Jacobs Bag. You can pick one up for only $995 at Nordstrom!

Is it just me? Or is Navy Blue making a comeback in the world on handbags? Chloé certainly seems to think so! Meet the Kathleen Shoulder Bag! Now no offense to anyone out there, but for some reason I used to always associate navy with grandma. Why? Well, for some reason my grandma liked to carry around a navy handbag that matched her navy shoes that matched her navy belt that matched her… well, you get the picture. But you know what, I’m actually starting to warm up to the whole navy handbag thing. It can be such a pretty color, like a clear night sky in the summer time. However, for a bit of a modern twist, I would pair this handbag with black accessories (as seen on the model). As for the gold hardware, I think it looks marvelously chic with this color. What a great bag to wear to the office when you’re just not in the mood for the usual black or brown handbag! If you’re interested, you can find the Chloé Kathleen Shoulder Bag at *NET-A-PORTER.COM*, where it retails for $1,695. The price is a bit steep, but it certainly isn’t anything unusual when it comes to Chloé handbags.

Ou La La! That’s actually the name of this clutch, and I can clearly see why. French couture brand Lanvin, presents to us something that makes me want to dress up really bad, just so I could accessorize with this pretty. The choice of anthracite on satin is excellent, as I imagine how versatile it would be among different colors of evening wear. I’m really digging the dark elegant look yet there’s that nice feminine touch of florals and silk ribbon present. About the cluster of jewels found right up front, what’s not to love about them? Its design is stunning, pleasant, and something I wouldn’t want the gems to fall off of! Lanvin really kept the typical evening woman in mind by adding quick and functional features such as a magnetic flap top closure for easy access to your essentials and an internal vanity mirror intended for quick touch-ups via your own clutch (yay)! Measuring in at 10” x 6” x 2”, you can find this pretty up for grabs for $1,575. Definitely steep, but oh so pretty! Ladies, what’s your input on this clutch, and would you wear this?
