I’m currently searching for a new blag, a new black bag to be exact. It’s 2013, and I want to get rid of most of my handbags and start new! A lot of my bags are old and I’m dying to have one classy and gorgeous black bag. I’m not sure what style I want my bag to be but it’s definitely fun to look around and see what bags are out there.

At the moment, I’m severely obsessed with the Prada “Parabole” Spazzolato. I saw a Tory Burch bag a while ago that looked similar to this one but the “Parabole” takes the crown! I love that the bag is incredibly simple. There isn’t much to it and because of that I love it. Bags that are simple always tend to look more clean and just have a pretty look to them overall. I also love that this bag looks professional. It looks like a bag that a professional woman or a woman on a mission would carry.

I’m an extreme girly girl and I love anything that’s overly feminine. With that said, I’m also obsessed with almost everything that has studs on it. Put studs on something girly looking and I will probably be in love with it! So I’m sure it comes as no surprise that when I saw the Salvatore Ferragamo “Ginny” Bag I instantly fell in love. It’ adorable, the color is super pretty and the studs give it some flare. Even the bow featured on the front of the bag had me at first sight!

Lets talk color blocking. There’s a right way of doing it, and a wrong way. The Marc Jacobs Rose Bag is a perfect example of the right way. I personally think color blocking looks at it’s best when we’re talking about shades of a similar color, like how this bag has a two shades of blue. Now that compared to bags with blocking of random colors that don’t even connect on the color wheel – ie. like trying to match together red, blue and purple on the same bag. Not a fan.

I have three favorite colors black, pink, navy and white. I love the colors alone, paired up or all together. As of last year, we’ve have seen black/white and navy/white fashion everywhere! The colors together are still a trend, still very popular, still all over the stores and I love it! At the moment, I don’t own any navy and white handbags but I would love to own one! Some think the colors look bland together but I think they look stunning together!

No one quite makes a clutch like Alexander McQueen. The amazing designer may have left us but his brand and designs are here to stay! It’s my dream to own a Alexander McQueen Skull Clutch and I’m determined to have one someday. I like bags that make a statement and the skull clutches are always unique looking. Every season the skull clutch gets revamped but at the moment I’m absolutely in love with the Lattice Studded Skull Clutch. Both the colors of the clutch and the hardware look stunning together! Of course the skull is the perfect finishing touch to such a beautiful bag.

Ever since the Plastic Bag Ban Law here in Seattle passed I have been stocking up on shopper totes. I remember a few years ago when Anya Hindmarch kicked off the anti-plastic bag trend with her stylish “I’m Not A Plastic Bag” and ever since then designers and even departments stores (love the Norstrom’s Tote!) jumped on trend creating their own reusable totes. I probably have over 50 basic ones that I use when I go to the grocery store, that I don’t really care too much about and toss in the washer every so often. They do need to be washed occasionally!! However when I walk down to Pike Place Market here in Seattle I usually opt for something more fashionable, like my Burberry Check Market Tote or my Jacobs by Marc Jacobs for Marc by Marc Jacobs in collaboration with Marc Jacobs for Marc by Marc Jacobs floral tote (yea, it’s a mouthful).

Here are a few of my favorite picks for reusable designer shopper totes. Featuring Foley + Corinna, KARL, Malene Birger and Marni.

Foley + Corinna Bon Voyage Additional Shopper. $82 (orig $165)
Oh my gersh you guys this one is on sale too. What I love about this Foley + Corinna reusable bag is that it folds up into a wristlet! Convenient.

Adding a high dose of vitamin C is just what the doctor ordered for summer. Love this juicy orange clutch. It will add some life to even the dullest outfit.

Alexander McQueen De Manta Floral Clutch. $368 ($525)
I have a secret obsession with watercoloring. It’s been my long time fascination with this technique that draws me in to this tonal rose watercolor-effect satin clutch by McQueen. Such a beauty!

I’ve never really been a fan of Valentine’s Day but whether I like it or not, it’s coming! Right when Christmas ended, I started to see Valentine’s Day decorations, gifts and candy all over the stores. I understand the economy isn’t in the best shape but jeeze, let me get into the new year first before you flood me with all this mushy stuff. Maybe one day when I’m actually in a loving relationship I’ll give Valentine’s Day a chance until then, it’s just another Hallmark day to me.

As soon as I saw the Malene Birger Donnya Shopper I instantly thought of Valentine’s Day. I may not be a fan of the over rated holiday but I have to say I really like this tote! It’s simple, girly and to the point. I’m currently in the process of looking for another tote bag for school because I have to get rid of the one I have pronto. This is the cutest one I’ve seen and the price is pretty reasonable.
