B. Makowsky Soft Pleat Horizontal Flap Bag

b-makowsky-soft-pleat-horizontal-flap-bag
B. Makowsky has came out with a shoulder bag that is actually quite stunning! B. Makowsky has brought out the Soft Pleat Horizontal Flap Bag and it is available in four different colors: Black; Brandy; Hibiscus; and Mint. My absolute favorite is the hibiscus, as seen above, but all the colors are exceptional.

The Soft Pleat Horizontal Flap Bag has these fabulous exaggerated zip pulls that peak out from under the flap and also has gold hardware to give the handbag that extra sparkle. Other details of the handbag include: a magnetic closure; exterior and interior pockets; and leopard print lining.

For a horizontal shoulder bag, the B. Makowsky is pretty spacious. With a height of 6.5 inches and a width of 14 inches, the handbag can easily hold all your essentials without having the need to “squish” everything inside your handbag.

The B. Makowsky Soft Pleat Horizontal Flap Bag can be purchased at Nordstrom for $198, which I believe to be is a great buy! If the hibiscus isn’t your color of choice, the handbag also looks amazing in black. Whichever color you choose you can’t go wrong because the B. Makowsky Soft Pleat Horizontal Flap Bag is fabulous!

Rebecca Minkoff Flat Envelope Bag

Rebecca Minkoff Flat Envelope Bag
In case you haven’t heard, Rebecca Minkoff has a new collection of studded handbags available for this up and coming season. But instead of writing about the Studded Morning After Bag or the Studded Nikki Hobo, I thought I’d bring you something a little bit different.

Introducing the Rebecca Minkoff Flat Envelope Bag. It’s a small and simple bag with studs ornately arranged on it’s envelope-style flap. So how does everyone feel about this new addition to the Rebecca Minkoff family?

Personally, I think it’s cute. But you know what? I would want to remove that strap (yes, it is removable) and use it as a sleek clutch instead. Plus I love the color! It’s so summery, almost like lemon maraine pie! (but perhaps I am just so desperate for winter to be over that I see summer in everything) So if you find this clutch to be absolutely scrumptious, then head on over to Saks Fifth Avenue. There you will find it available for pre-order. It measures 12.5″ x 9″ and retails for $550.

Juicy Couture Bacardi Queen Anne Clutch

Juicy Couture Bacardi Queen Anne Clutch
It’s surprising to see well known brands release newbie’s that are a complete turn-around from their typical designs. Coach for example has done a splendid job of adding modern and hip handbag designs to their collection. Guess who else is adding fresh ideas to their name, Juicy Couture. Every young girl loves Juicy! They’re fun and their cute designs have always been a hit among the younger crowd.

As Juicy Couture was later sold to Liz Claiborne Fashion Company, more contemporary and mature products were seen. Take for example, the Bacardi Queen Anne Clutch. Here is something I would have never guessed to be Juicy Couture. It’s lovely and suitable for girls of all ages. I adore its sleek design as you can carry this as an oversized upward-folded clutch or as a golden round handle vertical handbag. A magnetic snap closure and crown engraved studs are nice details found on this Juicy. Love this? Grab your own clutch for only $228.

To the logo junkies, if clean leather accessories aren’t your style, Juicy Couture will always carry their infamous Terry bags, full loaded with large fonts and dangling charms, like the original Juicy Couture way.
