Rebecca Minkoff sure has a bad case of Spring Fever! That’s okay though, I have a really bad case as well. I don’t know what the weather is like where she is, but they are expecting a rain/snow mix this week where I live. Spring has been so SLOW to get here. So yes, I am itching like crazy right now! That’s why I am so happy to see all the Spring-y pieces Rebecca Minkoff has to offer this season.

My latest obsession is the Rebecca Minkoff Bright Crisscross Bonnie Satchel!

This lovely satchel is really eye catching! I love the woven leather exterior. It creates a nice seasonal look without the use of straw. In fact, the contrasting blue and white creates a geometric print that looks almost nautical in a way. And the brown leather trim adds the perfect accent to this piece. This satchel really looks like something that could stick with you all the way until Fall!

The casual feeling is perfect for those carefree days strolling around the boardwalk or even your local farmers market. However, it is big enough to hold a laptop too, so you could certainly take this satchel just about anywhere!

Finish the look:
Rebecca Minkoff Bright Crisscross Bonnie Satchel. $550
Club Monaco Lois Shirtdress. $198
Jenni Kayne D’Orsay Flats. $498

Lets talk color for just a second. Remember a couple months back when Pantone declared emerald as the ‘It Color’ for 2013 and everyone followed suit. Trendsetters, stylists, and designers all started coveting this hot new shade – Green for Spring! But in recent weeks I’ve noticed that color has started to dwindle off the radar. Could it be just that everyone is over this shade and opting for more summer-esque shades?

Spring is here, which can only mean pastel colors are in and I love it! Pink and mint are literally everywhere in the fashion world right now and I’m in heaven because of it. Pink and mint are two of my favorite colors so the more we see it the happier I am. I do wish I owned a mint handbag or another pink one. At the moment, I have the Christian Dior “Pochette” style bag from the Girly collection that debuted quite a while ago. It’s old, in great condition and I still love it but I would love a new pink bag! When I saw the Tory Burch Robinson “Spectator” Mini Cross Body Bag my mouth dropped. I absolutely adore Tory Burch and this bag is adorable! It’s little, pink and perfect for Spring.

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.

Seems like a lot of designers are dressing their bags in eye catching bold hues for the spring / summer 2013 season, but here is Mulberry opting for something a little bit more muted. I think the apricot shade is very classic and ultra-feminine. The color palettes you can pair with this shade are endless. Also I would say you could totally get away with wearing this color beyond the warmer summer seasons!

When it comes to fashion I love classy, simple and sophisticated looking things. I’m the type of girl that always dresses up even if I’m just going to the grocery store. Some say I’m weird but is there anything wrong with wanting to be put together at all times? I love my hair and makeup to always be done and heels are a must. When I think of classy designer brands, Yves Saint Laurent immediately comes to mind. However, the fashion house changed their name so now it’s just Saint Laurent. I currently do now own anything by Saint Laurent but I sure do love the Y Ligne Mini Pochette Crossbody Bag.

Spring is almost here! Who is in the mood for a little Flower Power? Florals are, of course, a given in the fashion world this time of year. While I do like florals, I have a harder time accepting them on handbags. Floral prints just look better on clothing, in my opinion. But I was thinking that perhaps handbags don’t need to feel neglected here. In fact, I think I have found the perfect compromise! Introducing the Mulberry Scalloped Flower Bag!

I’m obsessed with the color mint and I believe it to be one of the most beautiful colors in the world. Mint is also a beautiful and perfect color to wear during the Spring. Just yesterday, I was at a certain department store and found a pair of mint heels. I kid you not, it was love at first sight and I immediately asked the guy for my size as soon as I saw them. Of course they didn’t have my size and my heart was broken for about an hour. I’m dying for a pair of mint heels and I won’t stop until a pair is mine!
