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.
Nothing shouts luxurious like the interwoven designs of a smooth leather tote bag. Basket-weaved accessories always make a great alternative to a solid-leather handbag as their textured assemblies make attractive selections and add ladylike flair to your daily look.
If you want a luxe leather woven accessory, there’s an alternative to the high-end designer pieces out there. This Antik Batik is great for the savvy spending Bagista that prefers an alternative to the high-end four-digit price tag tote.
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!
