It’s the season for straw bags, hats and clutches! Every Spring and Summer we always see straw accessories enter the fashion world. Just this weekend I saw the handbags all over department stores. Some I like, some I don’t but I will admit they are great for the beach or anything water related. I hate when leather gets wet because it usually stains. With straw bags you never have to worry about that because if it ever gets wet it simply dries up!

The Tory Burch “Woven” Whicker Clutch seems like the perfect accessory to take with you on a tropical vacation. I can totally envision seeing a woman carry this around while wearing a Summer dress and some sandals. It has that relaxed and casual look to it. At the same time though it’s classy and sophisticated looking.

Cross body bags are so hot right now. No matter what store I go into I see them everywhere. I never use to like them but they are starting to stick to me. Oddly, I even like them with some color on me. If you read my blogs often, you would know I’m a black leather kind of girl. I love black handbags but for some reason I’m starting to welcome color into my life. Maybe I was just going through a black and white phase for two years? Not sure but I’m starting to really like color, especially pastel colors!

Because sometimes you really don’t want to carry a full sized continental or a chunky little wallet. I personally love slim card cases for when I’m not wanting to carry my wallet around with me, like when I’m using a beach tote or a petite clutch. Basically anytime that I’m not using a regular day bag. One that caught my eye recently is the Tory Burch Kipp Slim Case. There are alot of card cases out there, some that can look pretty boring, but this one as simple as it may look is very functional (lots of slots) and looks totally amazing – stamped with the Tory Burch signature logo which I absolutely love.

All these gorgeous shades of blue, I can’t take it. I’m usually not a fan of the color blue but it’s everywhere this Spring. Anything that is cobalt or close to cobalt, I love. That color is absolutely breathtaking and I can’t get enough of it, which is odd because I love the color black. Black is my go to color for anything wardrobe related so for me to even consider liking a bright color is a breakthrough. Maybe this is the start of having more color in my life, maybe it’s not but cobalt is now one of my favorite colors.

On Friday I visited one of my favorite stores, Nordstrom Rack. You can really find some amazing deals in there especially with shoes and handbags. The last time I was in Nordstrom Rack I stumbled upon a pair of Tory Burch flats that I was able to get for $70! $70 is a steal when the original price is $200, so needless to say I was in heaven that day. On Friday, I saw a black leather clutch that featured golden hardware. It was by Vince Camuto and it was stunning. It was also priced at $70 and something told me not to get it. Now I know why because while browsing the internet today, I spotted and instantly fell in love with the Tory Burch “Reva” Oversized Clutch primarily because it matches my new flats perfectly!

I’m usually in love with large handbags but at the moment I’m craving a cross body bag. I just had a conversation with a lovely woman today, on why they are so amazing. A cross body bag is a great bag to own for those days when you just want to relax and not carry much around. They are perfect for holding just your essentials and nothing more. Whether you use it for the day, evening, travel etc., it really is a great addition to any handbag collection.

For the past couple months, I’ve been on the hunt for a cute cross-body bag that has a golden chain strap. For some reason a little bag with a gold chain strap screams classy and sophisticated to me. My Mother told me it’s more like an evening type of bag but I highly disagree. Chanel has always had chain straps and I think they look stunning being carried around day or night. They maybe a little more glamorous and flashy than the normal handbag but who cares? Life is too short and you might as well carry and wear things that not many people do. In my opinion, style is more fun when you make it your own and stick out from the crowd.

The Rebecca Minkoff Quilted Shimmer “Flirty” Bag is the exact type of bag that I’ve been looking for. I would prefer it more in black but it’s still fabulous. I see someone strutting around with this bag with a fierce pair of skinny jeans and some beautiful nude heels.

My all time favorite bag is the Louis Vuitton “Speedy“. Any bag that is shaped similar to it, I fall is love with. It kind of reminds me of a little suitcase and I love that I can throw all my essentials in it and call it a day. Sometimes my handbags are incredibly messy inside and with the Speedy I love that it has so much room for all my junk. I can open it up wide and find all my things easily. I guess you could say it’s messy prone?

A few years back, I would buy as many Speedy’s as I could. I would literally save every penny and when I had enough go into Louis Vuitton and buy one. I spent way too much and in this economy that isn’t possible for me to do anymore. I also, love black leather now. It’s been my thing for about three years now and I love black leather handbags with gold hardware. So I’m sure it comes as no surprise that I fell in love with the Tory Burch “Robinson” Satchel. It was everything I was looking for in a bag. Looked like a “Speedy” and was black!

Just how bright do you like your handbags? If you dare to wear a tote coated in candy-colored hues, then Tory Burch has got a great looking one for you. Personally, I’m a neutral bag type of gal and I tend to stay far from anything too intense.

The Roslyn Striped Canvas Tote gets my admiration over personal approval, but regardless of its versatility in your wardrobe or not, this tote arrives extra cheery and positive. This piece reminds me of a grownup woman’s version of an Easter basket altered into a tote bag. Perhaps it’s the festive vibes I’m gaining along the way as we approach the Easter holiday.
