All In the Details

Who else is bracing for snow right now? Cool. I thought we would think warm thoughts on this impending arctic storm, and look at some spring embroidered bags. They are chock full of detail and a perfect distraction to these frigid temps.

Happy Bags

Let's have some fun on this hump day. Quirky and sassy bags that don't fit into your cross body, tote, bucket bag, and other standard categories. These bags have takes on a shape of their own. Let me explain.

Asos, Skinnydip Pineapple Bag, $49

Do we love this? I love this. So adorable and vacation-ready.

Macy's, Betsey Johnson Avocado Wristlet, $78

Thank goodness for Betsey, she always makes me smile. Notice the extras on this bag? Holy guacamole.

Bullseye

Happy Monday lovebugs,
Today I need you to focus. I need you to hone in on one store that is just crushing the handbag game right now. It's Target. I know, right? But seriously, I cannot get enough of these bags right now. Let me explain...

Target, Women's Satchel Handbag, $44

Oh hey there perfection under $50. This color isn't quite winter enough for hunter green but not spring enough for emerald. It's a happy fall medium.

Target, Polka Dot Pattern Satchel, $49

Personally I'd tie a pop of orange or yellow to this bag in the form of a silk scarf. But then again, a simple polka dot is pretty chic for fall.

Target, Quilted Satchel Handbag with Chain Detail, $34

Ladylike, feminine, insert the adjective, it doesn't matter, this bag is gorgeous.

Target, Crossbody Handbag, $26

Very retro for fall which is quite hot right now. I love the mix of colors with the clean lines.

If you haven't been there recently, I suggest you get to your nearest Target asap. These bags and so many more are ready to live in your closet and not break your budget!

She's Two Sided

Ok, I'm going to say it. You're welcome. Today's post is a big you're welcome lovebugs. I have found some of the best reversible totes out there right now. You heard me, reversible. Two bags for one. And they're under $100.

Nordstrom, Street Level Reversible Faux Leather Tote with Wristlet, $48

418 people have taken the time to given this bag five star reviews. They can't be wrong. This bag is amazing.

A pop of neon or a casual canvas. You pick.

Target, Reversible Tote Handbag, $36

Great print for summer into fall. If you're not into it...no worries, 13 other color combos to choose from.

Last Call Neiman Marcus, Reversible Tricolor Tote, $85

Yes, even this bag is reversible. Amazing.

Chat Room

Sometimes we don't need to day a thing, because what we're wearing does that talking. Today I'm taking that in the literal sense, because these bags are all talk.

Gap, Happy Straw Tote, $24

Simple and sweet, I'd take this bag to the beach, brunch, or the store!

Target, Text Me Print Clasp Wallet, $16

Have you heard about these Target wallets? They are the best for going out. They hold everything and they last forever. This print has a Kate Spade flavor to it.

Asos, Aldo That's So 2014 Novelty Body Bag, $24

I can't even with this bag. It's adorable.

Banana Republic, Conversational Large Pouch, $38

A great little price for a great little bag.

These conversational bags are a great, well, conversation starter. I love how quirky they are while still being date night appropriate.

It Really Is Easy...

Hey there lovebugs,
Happy Monday. I hope you had a lovely weekend. Today I thought we would look at a color in bags that I believe is severely underrated. As it is often said, it isn't easy being green, but I tend to disagree. Green is gorgeous, especially when it comes to handbags. I love it because it goes with both black and brown and in this cold weather, it's a nice pop of something when outerwear tends to be so neutral.

Neiman Marcus, Dalton Pyramid Studded Mini Crossbody, $60

This bag is on crazy sale until Wednesday. It's originally $170, I cannot tell you how amazing this sale price is. Go now.

Nasty Gal, Lexie Satchel, $78

I love a top handle and cross body option. This is olive hue is accented beautifully with gold accents.

Gap, Leather Tote, $53

This slouchy and soft leather is perfect for the weekend. Throw everything in and go. Did I mention it  was originally $135?

Amazon, Olivia + Joy Ginger Satchel, $38

Another great olive option. Look at this interesting top. Geometric and almost Tetris-like. This is a great winter shoulder bag.

I'm all for chocolate brown and black and even a pop of neon now and again, but these green options are really striking a chord with me right now on these chilly days.

Paint Me Pastel

Last week we looked at a blush pastel dress that works for summer without looking like a bridesmaid. Today let's look at some pastel options in bags. Pastel colors are prefect for summer because like the weather they're sunny and you can throw them on with just about any print or color you can think of. Think of a pastel as that person you could talk to at a party all night without looking at your watch.

Asos, Pastel Box Clutch Bag, $57

Just yes. You know in Forgetting Sarah Marshall when Paul Rudd tells Jason Segel to do less when he's surfing? This is that in a bag. And it works. Do less. It works. Oh so well.

Dillard's, Fossil Erin Shoulder Bag, $68

You know who makes a solid, timeless bag? Fossil. They always seem to capture the utility and the style of right now. Oh and it's $30 off.

Nasty Gal, Sabrina Tote, $45

If you looked up Adorable in the dictionary this would be the accompanying image. The white piping is so mod and not pictured is the shoulder strap.

Aldo, Shields, $45

A chic and feminine mix of colors with a great gold accent. This is sundress ready.

Pastels are an obvious choice for warmer weather, but instead of jewelry or blouses, try it in a bag!

Double Time

Happy Tuesday lovebugs,
I hope you had a wonderful weekend and for those who had a longer weekend, welcome back! Today we're looking at bags that have a very unique coloring. Two tone bags are simple and versatile; they add just a pop of something different to your look that you just don't get with an all-black or all-navy bag. Let's have some fun and look at these eye catching beauties.

Gap, Two Tone Leather Clutch, $29 [sold out but loving this one!]

A sassy little wristlet that is great with jeans when you just need your keys, cards, and phone. 

Neiman Marcus, Danielle Nicole Blake Two Toned Satchel, $98

A zip top bag with winged sides. It's a new classic that is perfect for work. Fits a laptop.

Steve Madden Bbandit, $88

Color blocking never looked more fabulous with this pop of blue! Bring on spring.

Modcloth, Evergreen is the new black bag, $64

Evergreen and hunter green are my go to transition colors for winter to spring. Its a bold statement color, especially paired with this khaki. Gives it a retro vibe.

Two toned bags are an easy way to find a staple bag without spending a ton of cash. Finding the perfect color combination will make it your throw on and go with any outfit.

New Year's In the Bag

Welcome to the last few days of 2013. Last week you may have been Christmas-ing but we looked at some pretty fantastic NYE dresses. Today we'll check out some NYE bags and tomorrow, shoes. Oh and did I mention all of these bags are under $50?

 Target, Limited Edition Striped Clutch, $18

So very Gatsby. I love the modern look to this clutch, but styled correctly, it could also be quite edgy.

DSW, Lulu Townsend Allover Rhinestone Oval Minaudière Clutch, $49

Some bags have all of the fun. Be sure to carry that bag on New Years.

Nordstrom, Transparent Minaudiere, $48

This bag is so effortless. It's simple and unassuming in the most elegant way.

Macy's, Le Regale Handbag, $36

If you can't carry an over the top bag on New Years, I don't know when you can. This bag is antique and stunning.

Now go out there and find a clutch that sparkles like you will on New Years. Beaded, sequins, metallic,  you name it.

Saddle Up

Happy humpday! Hey, speaking of camels (stay with me) how about we talk saddle bags (segue of the season there guys).

The structure of this crossbody is very unique. I love the hardware and the understated stitching.

A quiet bag that works with blazers or leggings.

Asos, Saddle Bag Crossbody, $44

Had to throw in a gold metallic option.
