Spring’s Must-Have Totes

Kelli — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 00:14:58 +0000

Spring is in the air, which means it’s time to update your bag selection. When choosing a spring bag, go for one that’s light and pretty – you don’t want a dull, dark bag for spring. Here are my picks for spring’s must-have totes. Each one is very different, but they’re all gorgeous.

The Alexander McQueen Clutch

I am so craving an Alexander McQueen clutch! Maybe it’s because they are such the statement piece! If you’re carrying one of these clutches you’ll definitely get asked about it because they are so fabulous. On the coolness scale, they are off the charts! An Alexander McQueen clutch is a must-have if you have a special night out on the town. Here are some of the best ones, but really I’d have any of them.

If you’re looking for cheap Juicy Couture handbags, look no further! Beso.com has many styles to choose from. I always love Juicy Couture handbags because they’re always fun and playful with an edge. Besides being trendy, these bags are functional (including perfectly sized pockets and compartments) with the modern woman in mind. Here are a couple of my favorite cheap Juicy bags:

Leopard Print Obsession

I’ve been obsessed with leopard prints for quite some time now. And just when I thought my obsession was fading, I’ve discovered some great new leopard prints at beso.com. In fashion, animal prints come and go, but the leopard print has really taken over and has held its place in the world. From leopard shoes to leopard printed bags, leopard prints are everywhere and seemingly here to stay. Let me know what you think about my new leopard finds!

Watercolor Printed Clothing

Dreaming of Paris? This season, your dream is a reality as fashion designers mimic the masterpieces of artists such as Monet and Renoir. The French Impressionist movement has inspired beautifully designed watercolor printed garments. I am really drawn to this trend (maybe it’s the painter in me). A perfect summertime look, watercolor prints are feminine, elegant and can be worn for many different occasions. Absolument magnifique!

Through thick and thin

I am an official Yorktown Road fan. The materials are well chosen and the designs are simple and classy with a subtle modern twist. These soft-washed natural linen mini-zip purse and tote are very sweet with a thick and thin pleat touch and natural canvas lining.

If you need a bit more color, they also come in this rich golden yellow, deep orange and dark teal.

Handbag Hunt

I was shopping around for purses for a friend’s birthday and after hours of online “window” gazing, I finally found this cute little leather wallet by Urban Heirlooms at Etsy. It’s not a full blown handbag, but it’s unique and uses vintage materials. I’m pro-recycling second hand pieces when it’s done right, and I like the creative replacement of buckle or snap with a vintage key. There is original design out there if you dig deep enough and it always beats the gift certificate cop out.
