Oh my gosh, I cannot believe prom is almost here! I was pretty much unaware of the fact that it is now March until I stumbled across display after display of prom dresses at the mall the other day. Where has the time gone? Oh well, it was actually nice seeing all of the pretty prom dresses for this year. It brings back some fond memories for me. Hehe… I was even tempted to try some on. You know, just for fun! And I hear short prom dresses (like the one pictured above) are in this year. Not only are they super cute, but also super easy on the wallet. I bet many of the mothers I saw out shopping with their daughters were delighted to see these less expensive styles. But all of this reminiscing about the good ol’ days got me to thinking about (you guessed it) accessories. After all, every girl needs the right accessories to complete her dream look for prom. So I thought it would be fun to write a blog post about accessories for prom, just for all you high school gals out there! Below you’ll find some of my favorites. But don’t worry, they too are easy on the wallet. There’s nothing here that’s over $50! Enjoy!

Anyone have a pool party or any other sun events planned soon? A couple of more days until my Spring Break officially kicks in as I’m anticipating some rest and relaxation under the warm South Padre Island sun. Accessory wise I would say I’m ready, although I’m content with using last seasons beach bag for now, it sure doesn’t hurt to see what’s new in the world of designer cruise and S/S collections.

One adorable piece that caught my eye is the Mini Squishee Star by Eric Javits, a bag that’s as cute as the name it carries.

Wow, ladies! I can’t believe I am saying this, but I am absolutely speechless! I just stumbled across this interesting-looking bag by a designer called Stalo Markides. It is called the Stalos Markides PVC Feather Bag. I have never heard of this designer before and my efforts to dig up some real info on her were all in vain. Even the official website didn’t have much to offer me! I can tell you this though, Stalo Markides takes great pride in bringing life to her pieces and turning them into works of art.

The concept of a recycled leather handbag was first introduced to me when I wrote about the Novella Royal Mister Stud Bowler Bag back in August.

It was this LA-based designer that made me think of eco-friendly handbags in a whole new (and insanely creative) way. So I suppose it shouldn’t have come as a surprise to me that there would be other companies wishing to jump on the recycled leather bandwagon. Novella Royale may not have been the first designer to think of this wonderful idea, but they certainly will not be the last!

Architectural fashion seems to be a hot trend right now, and when I came across the Novella Royale “Mister Studded” Tote I was in awe. It’s not a bag I would personally buy to add to my collection but it’s pretty interesting to look at.

What really caught my eye was not what the bag looked like, but the hidden features about it. The “Mister Studded” Tote was handmade in the U.S.A. from recycled leather.

I love going out at night and I must look as fashionable as I can when I do. I always have to match from head to toe, and my night wardrobe is usually all black. If there is one thing I hate, it’s having to carry one of my regular large bags when I go out for the night. The last thing I want to do is lug around a huge purse when I’m at a club or lounge. Evening bags or clutches always come in handy when you’re hitting up the town at night, and not to mention they always looks more stylish with an evening outfit.

If you check out the ‘What’s New’ handbag section over at Shopbop, you’re bound to see a couple of neutrals, some splashes of color and then these two crescent shaped hobos presented by two different parties.

We usually put handbags head-to-head when they resemble each other down to the bone, although these two don’t, we can gain some responses on which of the two would make your pick.

Foley + Corinna presents the navy blue, all pebbled leather hobo bag. It arrives oversized and with three bubbly pockets up front, you’re sure to keep organized and this bag extra neat. The single, thick leather shoulder strap looks as comfortable as it seems to carry this hobo, although its shape is unique indeed, I’m not too convinced that this would rank as a favorite in my collection.
