Favorite Summer Handbags

Screen Shot 2015-06-24 at 12.58.15 PM

There are so many things to love about summer! One in particular I love, are summer handbags! Finding the perfect handbag to pair with your everyday summer outfit is the absolute best. When choosing a summer handbag, I like to only think about color instead of choosing a bold print or pattern. Don’t get me wrong, prints and patterns are fab, but I want my bag to go with any outfit that I’m wearing at any time. So, this season my two favorite colors are WHITE and YELLOW. A white handbag just screams summer. The color is so sleek and crisp. It just instantly adds a refreshing touch to an outfit. For a bolder look, I love yellow to brighten an outfit. It’s great for making a statement while being playful and chic. I’ve rounded up some of my favorite handbags for this summer & all at affordable prices! Take a peak below! 🙂

Falling for Fringe

One trend I’m absolutely falling for this season is fringe! Jackets, tops, skirts, shorts, shoes, bags – go for fringe! Maybe not all at once, of course, but adding fringe is a great way to make a bold statement with your look. While shopping for fringe, I can’t make up my mind, I’m loving everything! A light jacket would be perfect for the transition to spring, while a fringed shoe screams edgy! I’ve narrowed down all my favorite fringed items in the gallery below. Not ready to go full on fringe yet? No worries, a handbag is a great way to subtly rock this fabulous trend.

Bundle Up In Style

It seems like the cold weather hit us like a ton of bricks, but I must admit – keeping warm this season isn’t so bad when there are so many fun fall accessory trends! I feel ya – the bitter cold (especially NYC) makes you want to lay in bed and curl up in TONS of blankets, but unfortunately that makes us no money. So when I do bundle up, I do it in style!

October Wish List

October’s here! and Fall is in full swing! I’m totally obsessing over the color palette this year! Anything crimson red, deep olive and cobalt blue are really catching my eye. These gem-like tones allow for a feminine and sophisticated style. Also loving white, gray, and nude. They really work in any season, but this Fall, all white outfits are still making a statement, while gray and nude are perfect to compliment any other color.

EDC LV Outfits

Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas was one of the most incredible experiences! Between, the music, people, and fashion – it truly is something amazing to be a part of. Dressing for a festival is so much fun! Anything goes…seriously…there are no boundaries. I applaud everyone who takes eccentricity to another level at EDC or any music festival – that’s what adds to the enjoyment!

I admit, I stressed more about my outfits for EDC than finals. Bright, colorful, and comfy, were my major focus. When you’re dancing all night under the electric sky for 3 days, you definitely want to make sure your clothes and shoes are comfortable!
