My Mom has been on the hunt for a new handbag for quite sometime now. We are both huge fans of Michael Kors so every week she looks at department stores to see if their is a new shipment in of handbags in. Yesterday, she purchased the Michael Kors “Bedford” in black with gold hardware. This is a handbag I wished about and let me explain why.

For weeks, I despised the Michael Kors “Bedford” Medium Satchel but I fell in love with the Large Satchel. It was gorgeous but I remember saying to myself, “I wish this came in black leather with gold hardware”. Yesterday, as my Mom and I were in the handbag section of a department store she saw the “Bedford” Large Satchel, fell in love but wanted it in black also with gold hardware. I instantly told her, I had searched online and it didn’t exist. As soon as I said that, I saw it on a table! I was amazed that it was made in black leather and gold hardware. Was Michael Kors listening to my fashion wishes? I was so excited and of course, my Mother snatched it up but now I want one! The bag is absolutely stunning in person!

Beach season is just around the corner and a lot of designers are already churning out straw totes by the dozens. They are literally popping up everywhere! Balenciaga, of course, is no exception. They too have a straw tote that is ready for a little fun in the sun. Meet the Balenciaga Raffia Woven Shopper Tote!

Now this is not the first straw tote Balenciaga has ever produced, there have been others in the past. Still… I have a hard time wrapping my head around a Balenciaga bag that isn’t made of super squishy leather. I mean, that is what this designer is known for. So seeing one made of straw just isn’t doing it for me. I like the look of this bag in general. The contrasting weave of natural and lavender raffia is very pleasing to the eye.

Wow, this black and white trend has really expanded! It seems like everyone is trying to get a piece of the action and new pieces are popping up left and right. That’s okay though. I happen to like this trend and there’s nothing wrong with having plenty of styles to choose from. So here is another black and white bag to add to the list. Meet the Malene Birger Curvelle Summer Shadow Bag!

The Alexander McQueen Skull Clutch will forever be an iconic piece. It has been reinvented again and again. There are so many variations out there! So it really is no wonder we write about this clutch all the time. Well I spotted another one that really caught my eye and I just had to share it with all of you. Introducing the Alexander McQueen Woven Skull Clutch!

When I was a girl, I was obsessed with horses. What girl isn’t though, right? I had wanted to take riding lessons, but my parents wouldn’t allow it. They let me go on a few trail rides at the park, but that was as good as I was going to get. I was still fascinated though. I collected horse figurines and other nicknacks. And I’m betting if this Stella McCartney Horses Tote had been around back then, I would have wanted it for my collection!

Ever since Reed Krakoff launched his eponymous label, I have not been able to take my eyes off of his designs. His handbags never fail to make me drool. But who wouldn’t fall in love with those structured shapes and classic styles? He set out to reinvent classic American style and he accomplished it! This is why I was a little confused when I stumbled across the Reed Krakoff Falcon Atlantique Bag. Just take a look and you will see what I mean!

Gypsy 05 is highly known for their tie-dye pieces. I especially love the maxi dresses! They are so pretty! But I do happen to love tie-dye, especially tie-dye as gorgeous as what you see on Gypsy 05 pieces. So when I stumbled across the Gypsy 05 Current Bag, I was sort of in disbelief that Gypsy 05 was the name behind the bag. I mean, it’s not tie-dye! Haha!

It’s the season of color, whether you’re into the color-blocking trend or electric shades of spring hues, you’ll find an array of colors wherever you glimpse right now. Looks like Fendi didn’t know whether to hit the pop colors or the color-blocking craze so they took another direction with the B. Fab Borsa Multi-Color Studded Satchel.

I have really enjoyed having my Rebecca Minkoff Affair. It’s the circle quilt one with the flat round studs. I get so many compliments! My only gripe is the flap closure. I love the look of flap closures, but the Affair has a magnetic button that secures the flap. Since the chain strap is attached to the bag via the flap, I often find my bag popping open if things are getting jolted a little bit (i.e. when I swing it up to put it on my shoulder). It’s annoying. But my problem might be partly due to my constant over stuffing of the bag. Whoops.
