Neon Bags Will Brighten Up Your Spring
We all have our favorite black bag that goes with everything but with Spring in the fashion forefront, it is time for a change! The new bag trend is bright, neon bags that add bold pops of color to any ensemble.
The Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC Snake Bag in Aqua available for $195 is a perfect bag to fit in with this new trend. Its bright blue aqua, the color of the ocean in Miami, color creates a electric slide vibrancy that can jazz up any boring outfit. The snakeskin texture and the silver chain-link strap add texture and decorative elements to the bold bag.
Another bag we like that falls under this fashion category is the Marc by Marc Jacobs Turnlock Python Shine Messenger Bag in Fluoro Lime available for $498. This bag is almost highlighter neon yellow and really shines against a plain outfit or a black dress. Its messenger style allows it to be more practical in that it will be able to hold all of your items. The optional long strap also makes for great versatility.
The BE & D Agren Satchel in Lava available for $607.60 is a great bright tangerine color with a soft natural brown trim. This contrast along with the gold hardware detail and the snake pattern corner trim make the orange color pop even more.
This Foley + Corinna Lady City Tote available for $345 is one of our favorite neon-inspired bags this season. The turquoise demeanor stands out beautifully on the soft leather. The gold detailing and tassel zippers make for a gorgeous bag that you can actually fit all your stuff in or take on a weekend trip.
Lastly, for a night out on the town, we love this bright red House of Harlow 1960 Val Clutch available for $195. This vintage-inspired fiery red clutch is the perfect accessory for a night out due to its leopard-head clasp, gold adornment, and snakeskin texture. Although small, this clutch will be eye-catching against any little black dress! Whether you want a satchel, a tote, a messenger bag, or even a clutch, there is definitely a bold vivacious bright bag out there for you that will be sure to make you glow!
Jessica Alba ASTARS Blazer & Longchamp Cosmos Bag
Sometimes it’s difficult to find the perfect everyday outfit that is trendy but also comfortable so that you can play with your kids. Jessica Alba somehow always seems to find this casual-chic balance in her outfit choices. Take Thursday, February 2nd, for example, when she sported the ASTARS Pacific Coast Highway Blazer in Charcoal Cool Grey while taking her daughter to school. The blazer is knit and fully lined for that added comfort, but adorned with silver vintage buttons for a sleek overall appearance. Also part of her ensemble is the Longchamp Cosmos Hobo Bag in Cognac. This bag is effortlessly classy but also totally practical with a lot of space to hold all of her things along with kids’ toys! Now just add a pair of wide-leg jeans, like Jessica’s, to pull the entire look together! The blazer is available for $154 on the ASTARS website and the bag is available on the Longchamp website for $640.
ASTARS Pacific Coast Highway Blazer — $154
Proenza Schouler Best Night Out Bag in the Small PS1 Satchel
This is the bag I should have bought to bring with me to MAGIC and ENK this year, but alas I never bought it. This small Proenza Schouler PS1 Satchel Bag is so chic with its cross body strap and its yummy leather it is the perfect bag for travel, checking out a convention, attending Fashion Week in Milan or New York or just a night out. This bag would hold everything you need for a day out including a phone, wallet, sunnies, and mints. I lugged my stuff around in a larger bag and wished I had this great little satchel that would have not weighed me down to the tune of 10 plus pounds. If you are going to Coterie in New York City next week, don’t wait, get this bag. At least you will have less weight on you for all the walking that you will be doing at the show. I clocked 14,000 steps a day on my pedometer.
Lots of celebs love this bag including Jessica Alba, Emma Roberts, Olivia Wilde just to name a few. It is the perfect edgy subtle bag to wear casual or for a night out. It is definitely downtown chic. So if you are not a Chanel or Hermes girl, Proenza Schouler is the way to go. Jessica Alba has been seen in the large smoke and the medium black bag.

Prada Saffiano Tote Kate Bosworth was seen using in December
Kate Bosworth sure likes tote bags. She was seen in late December carrying a great tote bag that was recognizable by its triangle logo. This Prada saffiano tote bag in grey calfskin is gorgeous and scratch resistant which makes it such a great carryall. The bag is classic Prada with its middle zip compartment to keep your wallet and valuables safe while out and about during the day. The grey color is just the right kind of neutral so the bag looks very updated. The size is great for an iPad or a small laptop. Take this bag traveling too. It will be a great on flight carry on.
Also, Kate looks cool and chic wearing the bag with a great pair of Chloe studded leather ankle boots. She is the ankle boot queen and she always looks good in every pair she wears. These studded leather ankle boots are definitely a rock and roll twist on the cowboy boot. The gold and silver studs and the 3 buckles evoke Michael Jackson Thriller cool only Chloe can do.
The Prada Saffiano Tote in grey is available at Neiman Marcus for $2100.
The Chloe studded ankle boots in black are available at Saks.com for $1295.
Kate Bosworth’s Rag & Bone Jeans from Sundance
Kate Bosworth is my style icon because I aspire to dress like her. Her style is just so effortlessly chic that I always want to wear whatever she is wearing. Everything she wears just looks so cool. She looked cool in the cold Sundance snow this year in Utah wearing her Rag & Bone skinny jeans while carrying a Coach Bleeker Legacy bag in the classic Fawn color. What I loved about the whole outfit was the classic modern mix of a classic jeans and tote combo made modern with the skinny cut of the jeans and the vintage leather from the Coach Legacy collection that is just a bit updated in style for our modern times.
The moderate distressing on these skinny jeans gives it just the right worn in look without going over the top so they actually look like you have had them for years. The 30 inch inseam is just the right length to pair with platforms or a pair of ankle boots or a pair of Sorels for the snow. However you wear these jeans dressed up or dressed down they will become your favorite pair of go to jeans for any occasion.
Get the Rag & Bone/JEAN The Skinny Jeans seen on Kate Bosworth for $198 at Shopbop.com.

Colorblock Tote Bag Anya Hindmarch Does It Right On Trend
When thinking about the Colorblocking trend I am still not on board entirely. I like that designers have really embraced it and created shoes, bags, and dresses in tri colors that range from orange, pink, and black to the more neutral tones. As a person who generally likes neutrals, I do not think I will go for a neon colorblocked bag anytime soon, but give me a great looking colorblocked bag in neutral colors with a functional bag, I can do it. Take for instance the Anya Hindmarch Nevis Tri Color Leather Tote with its black, white, and taupe color pattern. This makes the bag really closet friendly. Think about this bag with your white pants, black flats, Jackie O sunnies, and long cashmere tunic. It is a great chic look right? How about this same bag with a great pair of skinny jeans, motorcycle boots, brown leather jacket, and black turtleneck. Again this bag does the trick. I also love the 2 big pockets outside that you can drop your cell phone and keys into while keeping your wallet tucked in to the roomy tote. The best part is the bag is lightweight and will only weigh as much as your stuff weighs so you won’t have to worry about carrying 20 pounds around with you on the crook of your arm.
Anya Hindmarch Nevis Tri Color Leather Tote for $995.
