It seems like only a few years back these limited edition beauties were presented as newbie’s to the wonderful world of Louis Vuitton. The Cherry Blossom and Graffiti Collection were just two of the many collaborations the French house engaged in with some of the hottest pop culture artists of the moment.
The years went by quick, and now our favorite treasure hunters, What Goes Around Comes Around, is labeling these as vintage!
Check out this luscious irregularly shaped shoulder accessory, a true go-anywhere bag. I seriously had to take a double look as I assumed it was a new arrival to Alexander Wang’s handbag collection. In fact, this beauty actually belongs to the ever-growing collection of Rebecca Minkoff.
There are no boundaries when it comes to Rebecca Minkoff’s optimistic picks, as they bravely grasp the attention of all types of fashionista’s. The Quinn Bucket Bag is a winner all around.
It’s ebony black and almond color and natural functionality as a shoulder bag will suit all types of occasions. Smooshy pebbled leather in a voluminous shape gives off a casual chic statement, and the hands-free style is absolutely suitable for heavy shoppers and stylish moms alike.

I am ready for spring’s delicate hues though it seems like some fashion moguls are having a difficult time leaving behind winter’s black. Some newly released items arrive rockin’ in heavy-handed tints, such as the Skunk Paillettes Sequin Wristlet. For the record I’m not name-calling, Marc Jacobs observably named this oversized glimmery clutch after the easily identifiable mammal and coveted it into a finer thing. I’d have to say that everything about this clutch is quite attractive.
If you want to give into a great fashion investment this year, why not opt for Chanel? Recently spotted are two attractive and effortlessly cute vintage Chanel’s presented by the fashion world’s treasure hunters, What Goes Around Comes Around. If you have ever missed out on a past season “it” bag or if you find yourself desiring an exclusive and authentic piece, then you should pay a visit to WGACA Vintage on ShopBop.
Currently, they have these pretty French pastels up for grabs. The bubble gum mini features a spring ready hue of pastel pink with golden hardware. This mini is quite compact but incredibly convenient enough to hold cash and touch-up cosmetics. This mini flap bag covets the classic quilted diamond staple in smooth lambskin finish.
Living in a subtropical area has its perks, such as, hot climate clothing and accessories can be extensively worn past the summer season. If you own more shorts and light tees in the closet versus coats and sweaters; then you probably possess more enlightening and colorful handbags as well.
The rustic and gypset styles of Cleobella present a tote that seems to have emerged straight from the sea, meet the Electra Coral Weave Summer Hobo.
As warm sun rays begin to make their comeback, so do the exotic colors in world of fashion. I am excited to see the two familiar themes of the Rocco and the Acid hue collaborated into one. The Rocco satchel has developed into a sports chic meets couture favorite. As this upscale duffle remains on my wish list, the option of color choices remains debatable.
Love comes in many shades. But if you wander around shopping areas and pretty much any public vicinity right now, you’ll see how overpowering the shade of red is. Designers from all backgrounds have poured their favorite shades of scarlet onto their accessories, in hopes that you might favor their creation for your Valentines Day affair. Over at Shopbop (dot com), we’ve selected some of the loveliest accessories for your V-Day night out. They’re cute and affordable!
My fashion crave this year began with an appetite for bows and what better introduction than the Duffle Bag by RED Valentino. RED Valentino makes yet another winning move by moving away from traditional and bringing playful accessories to grown women. This understated duffle truly captures a feminine theme, and if someone is best at making bows for women, it’s definitely Valentino.
As the year comes to an end, we reflect back on our fashion favorites of 2012. With ever changing trends and styles, there were many inspiring designers, both known and new, who did superb jobs in presenting artistic elegance and beauty to the fashion world. If I’d have to recognize just one fashion trendsetter who in my opinion, has truly emerged within the past couple of seasons, I’d have to say that’s Diane von Furstenberg.
The Belgian designer has always been an influential figure in women’s fashion. Her retrospective designs for the modern women influences an audience of diverse generations. I’ve always admired her iconic designs, colorful patterns and her feminine works, but during these past seasons, we’ve witnessed bolder and fun trendsetters that have created some of the best pieces yet! Throughout the year we definitely digged the adorable and extra affordable canvas totes that arrived in different patterns and hues.
