While browsing the web looking at handbags (what else, right?) today, I started to notice something odd. There are a lot of perforated handbags floating around right now. Is this a new trend or something? If so, I don’t think I received the memo. I guess when I think about perforated bags, I flash back to Louis Vuitton’s perforated collection from a few years ago. There weren’t too many perforated bags to speak of after that. Now they are suddenly popping up everywhere. What gives? Oh well, I suppose I can give this trend a chance. After all, some of the styles might actually be cute. Just be careful though. I think this is a very tricky trend to pull off. Bright colors or bright white keep this look fresh. I picked out a couple pieces that I like, just so you can see what I’m talking about. Enjoy!

Furla Perforated Brooklyn – $498
You don’t see Furla too much anymore, but this designer really seems to be making a comeback. This shoulder bag is nice. I like how it is slouchy at the top, but it still has a somewhat structured bottom. The tiny perforations are perfect for someone wishing to try this trend without getting their feet too wet. The crisp white is great too, pairing nicely with just about anything.

I can’t believe Summer is almost here already! We’ve had horrible gloomy weather here in South Florida lately but I know sooner or later the sun will be shining and it will be extremely hot. Every Summer tons of tourists flock to South Florida to enjoy our heat and the beach! I always love seeing all the fashionable accessories the tourists bring along with them. A few items I always see in different styles are sandals, bikini’s and straw bags! I’m usually not a big fan of straw bags but I have to say, I’m drooling over the Juicy Couture “Lynn” Straw Bag!

It’s that time of year again. The second the weather starts turning warm, beach totes start hitting the shelves. I don’t mind though. Summer is my favorite season after all, so seeing bright and cheery beach totes everywhere can only make me smile. What’s fun about beach totes is that you can be as wild and wacky as you want with them. Eye-catching colors, crazy patterns, unusual materials… things you might be hesitant about if it were an everyday handbag. There have already been several beach totes that I found to my liking this season. So what’s on my radar right at this moment? The Juicy Couture Leann Beach Bag with Towel, of course!

Whenever I think of Juicy Couture, I envision accessories that are pink and very girly looking. If you’ve ever been to the Juicy Couture store, I’m sure you would agree with me when I say it’s a bubble gum pink boutique! The store kind of remind me of what a room in Barbie’s house would look like. I don’t own very many things by Juicy Couture but I can tell you that each piece is, pink!

While browsing on Shop Bop I came across the Juicy Couture “Eleanor” Neoprene Bag. At first glance I would of never of thought it was by Juicy Couture because it doesn’t look like something the brand would typically design. In fact I was shocked to see it was designed by Juicy Couture. It wasn’t pink, bubbly or loud. I thought it was actually quite classy.

Juicy Couture always has a way of making something so simple look fabulous. The “Simply Stardust” Convertible Wallet is a prime example of that. Without looking at the description, I instantly thought this was a clutch with a crossbody strap. I suppose you could still label it a clutch since the chain can be unbuckled from inside. For me, I would never use the chain on this wallet. To me a wallet or a clutch should be carried and not wrapped around your body with a chain. Of course that’s just my opinion and either way you decide to carry it, it will still look fabulous.

The holiday season is fast approaching and it might be time to think about a festive handbag to brighten your look. Nothing screams holiday party time (and “disco fever”) like a handbag covered head to toe in sequins! The sequin “trend” — as some people might call it — is something that pops up around this time, year after year. It is a fun, bold look that might not tickle everyone’s fancy. But hey, it is the holiday season and there is nothing wrong with showing your holiday spirit! The only problem is that once the holiday season has passed, that sequin handbag might not look all that stylish anymore. So to keep things simple, I have selected some wallet-friendly choices that are easy on the eye as well (read: you won’t be blinding people with your style statement). And once the holiday season is over, you won’t feel too guilty about neglecting your sequined selection!

Big Buddha Studio Bag – $80
What I like about this style is that it is simple and understated. This provides the perfect counterbalance to all those glittery sequins. Plus the chain hardware adds a little edge to all that “fluff”. The detachable shoulder strap offers a bit of versatility too. Available in Blue (shown), Pink, Grey, or Black.

It is never too early to start thinking about your holiday shopping list! Who is the most “difficult” person to buy for on your list? For some, it is the tween or teen on their list. After all, they are going through a very special time in their life when they change their mind every 10 seconds. Oddly enough, it is also a time when many girls start to take notice of handbags… and (gasp) designer handbags. But we all knew that! We were all tweens and teens ourselves at one time! So it only makes sense that the perfect gift just might be the perfect handbag. Below you will find some of my top handbag picks for tweens and teens. So whether you’ll be shopping for someone who falls into that category, or you happen to be a tween or teen yourself, then be sure to check them out!

1. Juicy Couture Sequin Crown Day Dreamer
You can never go wrong with the classic terry velour Day Dreamer! Plus it is available in a variety of colors. What I like about this bag is that it appeals to the younger crowd, but it isn’t too kiddie (just keep the colors neutral). So depending on how youthful you feel yourself, you might find yourself wanting to borrow this bag from your daughter/sister/niece/whatever!

I have always been a fan of Juicy Couture’s accessories, especially the ones that are girly and pink. Whenever a new collection comes out, I always hit different websites to see the new accessories. I remember a couple years ago when the banks and gum ball machine was released. I literally ran to the store and bought the cupcake bank and pink gum ball machine! They were adorable pieces and I still have them today!

Here we go… yet another fur handbag that was introduced for this Fall season. With so many of them out there, you would think that this fur trend wasn’t really a trend. But as more and more designers jump on the bandwagon, I am seeing more and more styles that actually don’t look half bad. This coming from someone who really doesn’t care for fur on handbags! I never would have thought I would be saying such things just a few short months ago! Pictured here is a good example of what I have been talking about. Meet the Juicy Couture Ziegfield Vivian Bag!
