The holidays are creeping up upon us, so we are going to be seeing a lot of festive fashion shortly. Designers always tend to come out with new, eye catching and gorgeous pieces around the holidays in hopes that they will be purchased as gifts. When I saw the Anya Hindmarch “Candy Coin” Purse I couldn’t help but say “Awe”, it’s seriously adorable and looks like something that just came out of Santa’s workshop!
I’ve been head over heels for the color pink lately. If I see anything related to fashion that’s pink, I usually think it’s cute and I want it. I even recently got my Mac Book Pro transformed into a pink machine! Pink is girly, feminine and I think every woman secretly loves pink.
The Anya Hindmarch “Floyd” Pouch is the cutest key rings I’ve seen in quite sometime. I have the original Louis Vuitton “Multicolor” key ring from 2003. It’s still gorgeous and looks pretty good for almost being ten years old. However, I’m craving something new and the “Floyd” pouch has caught my eye!
Straw handbags are everywhere right now. But I suppose that is to be expected, given the fact that summer is just around the corner. When it comes to straw handbags though, they typically come in the form of a beach tote. Surely, there is nothing wrong with straw beach totes. It’s just that it’s more fun to see this material being used in more unexpected ways. That’s why I’m loving the Anya Hindmarch Ipanema Straw Clutch!
Right now, I’m severely obsessed with handbags that have shoulder chain straps on them. I’m not one into jewelry so it’s crazy that I would like a handbag to have more “bling” on it, but I love it. To me, Chain straps give off a sense of sophistication and that’s why I believe Chanel has always stuck to them. If done right, they really make a bag look classier.
The Anya Hindmarch “Valorie” Rubber Clutch is an interesting bag that also features a chain strap. What caught my eye the most about this bag was indeed the chain strap and the color of it. Beautiful shades of blue are all over fashion right now and shockingly I’m liking it. I’ve never been one to like the color blue but I’m really loving shades of “Cobalt” and “Light Blue”. They’re pretty and are great colors to strut around in the Spring and Summer seasons.
Six and a half months ago I became a Vegetarian. I thought it was going to be the hardest transition in my life but it wasn’t. Some of my favorite foods were chicken fingers and chicken parmigiana and I really thought giving them up was going to put me into with drawls. Once I ate that last piece of chicken, I never looked back and haven’t craved it since. It was literally like a light switch and I turned the meat switch off rapidly.
While looking at the latest assortment of Anya Hindmarch cosmetic bags, the first one that caught my eye was the Girlie Stuff Pouch. What drew me in is that lovely bright turquoise shade – it’s like a tropical punch of color!
I just love bright small accessories! Even if you live in a colder climate zone it could be used year-round with no cut-off point – like the rule of not wearing carrying white after labor day. Of course if you live in some tropical climate you can get away with carrying a white or bright colored bag. Everyone is different too. When it comes to purses, personally I prefer my brights and whites during the summer and my neutrals and darks during the winter. Only exception being, accessories!
When I was in school, I was one of those women that hated carrying around a bulky book bag and I always dressed nice. You better believe it, heels were a must everyday. I remember walking from the library to my class one day and someone shouted out, “Hey Pantene girl, it’s college not a fashion show”. It was mean but I shrugged it off since the person saying this was wearing pajamas to school. Pajamas, really? I wouldn’t be caught dead arriving to college in pajamas but of course that’s just my opinion.
I always carried my books in my hand, in one of my designer bags or in a Sex and the City tote. Sometimes it got so heavy and everything never fit in one bag. When you have a lap top, books, notebooks, folders and other school essentials it’s not easy to fit it all in one bag so something was always carried in my hand. Now if I had the Anya Hindmarch “Homework” Tote it looks like everything would of fit with no problem!
As the season approaches, there will be plenty of holiday parties from casual to formal. You’ll need a showstopper clutch (or two) to add life to the party! Check out some of my favorites this season!

Whenever I hear the name Anya Hindmarch, I immediately think of really cute travel accessories. I absolutely love how are her accessories are named so you know exactly what is in each bag! Very smart to have, when you travel like me and bring pretty much your whole closet. Hey, what can I say a fashionista just never knows what she is going to wear on any given day.
