I have always loved Vanessa Hudgens’ style, especially when it comes to her handbag collection. Alexander Wang, Balenciaga, Botkier, JJ Winters… you name it. What I like most is how she has a mix of pieces. Some are higher end, while others are more moderate. The styles vary quite a bit too. Most recently though, she seems to have found a new love — Cleobella handbags. There are pictures floating around with her carrying several different styles from this designer. So naturally, when I stumbled across this picture of Vanessa on a romantic date with Austin Butler, I assumed the bag she was carrying for the occasion was by Cleobella as well.

JJ Winters is known for one thing and one thing only. Fringe! Mountains and mountains of fringe! I’m talking down to your knees fringe! So you can probably imagine my surprise when I stumbled across a JJ Winters style that… (gasp)… doesn’t have an ounce of fringe. That’s right, not even a single strand. Meet the JJ Winters Suede Hobo!

Burberry’s inner artisan is revealed as they welcome the warmer climates with their Whipstitch Bag, a true Prorsum beauty. The whipstitch / woven feature is yearned by many during the spring and summer season, along with the color-blocking trend that is highly popularized right now. Fuse these two trends together and you’ll get this unusual yet colorful collaboration that is sun ready.

It’s obvious that this isn’t your typical Burberry accessory as the Houses classic plaid is visibly absent, but the raffia blend offers a distinct choice of palette. This tote can be effortlessly paired with casual or dress attire, and with the light to dark hue variation, you can carry this shoulder bag throughout the year.

Lemon yellow is the hot color this season! It is literally everywhere. I was thinking though. Lemon yellow may be hot, but what about lime green? It can be just as eye-catching and it goes great with a cool color palette (i.e. blues, greens, purples). Not everyone likes to wear warm tones after all, so I’m thinking this might be a good thing. Just check out the Akris Alex Cervo, I think you will see what I mean!

Gypsy 05 is highly known for their tie-dye pieces. I especially love the maxi dresses! They are so pretty! But I do happen to love tie-dye, especially tie-dye as gorgeous as what you see on Gypsy 05 pieces. So when I stumbled across the Gypsy 05 Current Bag, I was sort of in disbelief that Gypsy 05 was the name behind the bag. I mean, it’s not tie-dye! Haha!

The groundhog said there will be 6 more weeks of winter. Considering how unseasonably warm it has been this winter, I suppose I can live with that. With the weather being so Spring-like, I already have summer on the brain. It seems like others do too, considering all the beach totes I’ve seen popping up recently. I’m thinking this year, I might go for a little less traditional beach tote. Instead of structured and straw, I was thinking unstructured and crochet! Check out the Stela 9 Zigzag Crochet Beach Bag!

Recently, I wrote about the Prada Cabochon & Rhinestone Raso Clutch and I made a comment about how Prada had sort of fallen off my radar. Prior to seeing that clutch, nothing Prada had been putting out was doing it for me. I think the same thing has been happening with Gucci. Nothing really has that “wow” factor and the designer just hasn’t been on my radar. Well, until now! Yep, I have finally stumbled upon a Gucci bag that made my jaw drop! Meet the Gucci 1970 Bag in Python!

MuseTen has added a new designer to their selection. Enter Abaco Paris! I have never heard of this designer before, so naturally I assumed it was another emerging name in the handbag world. To my surprise though, Abaco Paris has been around for over 20 years. At the heart of this company lies a husband and wife team: Guy and Raquel Achache. He manages the company and she designs! They are passionate about what they do and take pride in the fact that their collection is 100% designed and produced in France.

Everyone knows the Alexander McQueen Demanta Clutch. It is probably one of the better know styles from Alexander McQueen. Well, aside from the many varieties of Skull Clutches, of course. What I have always liked about the Demanta Clutch is the folded corner detail. It sort of reminds me of an unfinished origami project (in a good way). If you’re not into clutches though, not to worry! That’s right, everything you know and love about the Demanta Clutch can be found in the form of an extra large tote style. Meet the Alexander McQueen Studs Demanta Tote!
