Even after his death, Alexander McQueen brand is still one of my favorite designer brands. I currently do not own anything by Alexander McQueen but every season there is always something I love that the brand releases. I’ve been paying a lot of attention to McQ lately, which is a brand from Alexander McQueen. McQ is still pricey but not as expensive as the Alexander McQueen designer line. I’m currently in love with the McQ by Alexander McQueen “Stepney”. It looks like a regular large handbag but what caught my eye is the color! I’m not one for bright colors but this neon pink color screams fabulous, especially when you’re walking down the street on these beautiful Spring days.

The flowers are blooming and the birds are singing… Spring is definitely in the air! That means it’s time to put those fur pieces away until Fall, right? Right!? Well, apparently nobody told Fendi that! Stealing the show on the Fendi SS2012 runway was a clutch… with fur. Introducing the Fendi Beaded Snakeskin Daisy Clutch with Fox Fur Trim!

I’m usually in love with large handbags but at the moment I’m craving a cross body bag. I just had a conversation with a lovely woman today, on why they are so amazing. A cross body bag is a great bag to own for those days when you just want to relax and not carry much around. They are perfect for holding just your essentials and nothing more. Whether you use it for the day, evening, travel etc., it really is a great addition to any handbag collection.

I’ve always have had a thing for envelope clutches and wallets. I love that most don’t have a designer name plastered all over them and they give off a sense of sophistication. Most envelope clutches and wallets are usually very simple but stunning. At the moment I’m craving the MICHAEL Michael Kors “Saffiano” Envelope wallet in black. It’s timeless and is definitely a piece I would carry for a long time. I believe, when it comes to fashion, that when something is so simple like a little black dress that it can never go out of style. Simple accessories become pieces that you use for a very long time because chances are they match with a multitude of wardrobe choices, but of course that’s just my opinion.

Black leather handbags always make my heart melt. To me, you can never go wrong with a black bag because you can match them up with so many different outfits. They also have the ability to be carried day or night. I’m usually a black leather bag with gold hardware type of gal but right now I’m swooning over the 3.1 Phillip Lim “31″ Hour Bag. It kind of reminds me of one of those suitcases that carry a suit perfectly but I love it! It’s not too girly but it sure is fashion fabulous and it looks pretty spacious. If you’re a woman like me that puts a ton of stuff in her purse, you can appreciate a large bag.

House of Harlow 1960 has been popping up everywhere lately. What started out as jewelry that expressed designer Nicole Richie’s love of fashion through many different eras has now blossomed to include other accessories such as shoes and handbags. Over time, House of Harlow 1960 has really started to grow on me. I love the eclectic mix of urban and bohemian style. Just take a look at the House of Harlow 1960 Hayden Clutch, for example, and you will see what I mean.

The position at Christian Dior has been filled! Dior has selected Belgian designer Raf Simmons to replace John Galliano as the new artistic director. His first show for the renowned fashion house will be this July in Paris.

That’s the news making fashion headlines today.

It’s that time of year again. The second the weather starts turning warm, beach totes start hitting the shelves. I don’t mind though. Summer is my favorite season after all, so seeing bright and cheery beach totes everywhere can only make me smile. What’s fun about beach totes is that you can be as wild and wacky as you want with them. Eye-catching colors, crazy patterns, unusual materials… things you might be hesitant about if it were an everyday handbag. There have already been several beach totes that I found to my liking this season. So what’s on my radar right at this moment? The Juicy Couture Leann Beach Bag with Towel, of course!

Every now and then around this time of the year a handful of designers come out with their own interpretation of the perforated bag. Never before have I seen it done to a classic bag like the City.

Check out the newest from Balenciaga, the Perforated Polka Dot City Arena Bag.

My first thought anytime I see a perforated bag, is well, sure it may look pretty rad but will my stuff fall out? Like the little things in my bag, can they fall through the little holes? Well you don’t really have to worry about that with this bag because the designers over at Balenciaga created a removable matching lambskin leather pouch for the interior.
