Proenza Schouler
















For as long as I can remember, I've had an ongoing love affair with the handbag.  All shapes and sizes have won my heart over time but right now it is the mini bag that has all of my attention.  Small, chic and always ready to grab and go, these little luxuries are of the moment and gaining momentum.  Their appeal has not gone unnoticed by designer faves.  Tory Burch, Loeffler Randall, Kate Spade, Ted Baker and Rebecca Minkoff {just to name a few!} have each embraced the trend with some of the sweetest little bags around.  What I like most is the way they add just the right touch of ladylike charm to nearly any outfit.  Street style makers definitely feel the same as the mini bag can be found on the arm of some of the most style savvy.  Check out the links below for the styles above as well as some of my other current crushes.

Have a beautiful weekend!

WHAT'S HAUTE: SPRING HANDBAGS








April's arrival brings with it many things…cherry blossoms, sun-kissed breezes, nature's renewal and new love in the air.  Something else spring brings is a fresh crop of  "Can I have that?" handbags.  This year's selection does not disappoint.  Soft leathers, striking colors and ladylike shapes and structure all have me wondering which to choose.  That being said, I've somewhat narrowed it down {for now} to these three options from Kate Spade, Tory Burch and Rebecca Minkoff.  Funny how that is.  These three girls seem to always own the major real estate in my closet.  

If you're finding yourself wanting or needing a fresh bag at your fingertips you are in luck!  Here are two amazing SALES happening NOW at Kate Spade and Rebecca Minkoff.


Visit the Kate Spade boutique this Friday and Saturday at The Shops at Riverside and receive 25% off your entire purchase.

Enjoy 25% off your Rebecca Minkoff  purchase online until April 11 using the code: RMPSW25




Have a lovely Wednesday everyone!

Hello Yellow




The latest luscious hue that I am currently craving is....YELLOW.  From tees to totes and jackets to dresses, this color is quickly becoming a spring and summer favorite of mine.  From the look of things on the racks, it seems I'm not the only one.  Yellow plays as a beautiful neutral this year as well as lovely contrast to classics like grey and beige.  

There are so many ways to enjoy wearing this color trend.  Try experimenting with a soft scarf  that ties together a basic white top and dark denim.  Finish the look with a pair of patent leather ballet flats showing a modest bit of gold hardware at the toe or heel back.  

I am really loving the idea of getting a yellow staple piece too, like this Trent Rain Jacket.  I feel like you could easily pair it with a softly printed bottom {think slim skimmer pants in muted hues or a cute pair of patterned shorts like these seen here} and wear it as a contrasting piece.  Alternately, you could use its bright color to liven up an otherwise ordinary outfit by putting it on over a solid white, stone or navy outfit. Mix in a cute pair of patterned or print flats in complementing colors and you're out the door.

Another catchy way to wear this color?  As a pretty feminine floral.  This pattern looks especially fresh when paired with a soft striped tee, perfect for layering.  Thinking outside of the box a bit, you could even boldly wear a striped tee over a printed or floral dress for instant freshness.

No matter which way you prefer it, yellow brings a little bit of sunshine everywhere it goes.  How will you be wearing your latest color crush?

Have a lovely Monday and thanks so much for reading!

XO,

Kelly
