Currently Craving: My Handbag Picks for Spring 2013!

Posted on April 8, 2013 by thefashionminx

Are you ready for Spring? I know I am! NYC has been very cold lately, but we are finally getting some sunny days……and with that comes Spring Fever!!! I am itching for a new handbag, so I have begun hunting online. I have decided to share my picks with you here, showcasing some of my favorites. I am really loving stripes and patterns on bags, as well as bright and neon colors, which are still a big trend. Cross body bags are always great for warmer weather, because they are easy to throw on to walk around outside. Which do you love? Links are below to all the bags!

First row:

1) Loeffler Randall The Rider Bag (Love the color blocking, and bright colors!!)

2) 3.1 Phillip Lim Pashli Medium Satchel ( a great cross body version of the famous Pashli satchel in a bright color for Spring!!!)

3) J Crew Edie Purse (I love this purse! This is the smaller version, and I love the pastel lilac color for Spring! So chic and girly!)

Second row:

1) Madewell The Essex Messenger (Love the earthy colors, and comfortable cross body style)

2) Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mac bag (I love the pink stripes, they scream Spring! Super comfy bag too!)

3) Clare Vivier Woven Foldover Clutch ( I am obsessed with this gorgeous grass green color, and woven textured leather! Perfection!)

Third row:

1) Alexander Wang Diego Bucket bag ( This subtle lilac color against the rose gold hardware is simply stunning!!!)

2) Madewell The Essex Mini bag (Love the crisp white against the brown, it’s fresh and clean for Spring. GREAT PRICE too!)

3) Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mac bag ( This bag makes a second appearance because it’s so easy and comfortable to wear. I am also loving these bright pops of color for Spring!

The Perfect Parka

Posted on March 16, 2012 by thefashionminx

It was a cold, dreary, dark day in NYC today, but that didn’t stop my boyfriend and I from spending some time in the park. Today’s weather was a drastic change from the gorgeous, sunny, 71 degrees we enjoyed yesterday, but I am not complaining because it finally gave me a chance to feature my favorite parka in a blog post. I have been lusting after the perfect parka for over a year now, and I finally found it! I spotted this Dawn Levy Parka online, but it was a bit pricey for me at the time. Sadly, I searched online for alternatives, but none matched the awesomeness of the Dawn Levy coat. But then, the shopping gods smiled on me and I found it at Neiman Marcus for half price! I am in love! It’s super warm, and I love the fur hood! I paired it with a casual dress from Forever 21, (l ast seen in this blog post), and my super comfortable (seriously, like sneakers) Jeffrey Campbell Litas. *** Really. Buy a pair, they are amazing! Get them here. I also love my leopard Diego bag by Alexander Wang. The shape, animal print, and studs on the bottom all make for an incredible bag. We had a lot of fun today. No place like NYC. 😉

Coat: Dawn Levy, Dress: Forever 21, Bag: Alexander Wang, Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell Lita, Jewelry: Max & Chloe, Sunglasses: Marc Jacobs

Casual Sunday (Go Giants!)

Posted on February 6, 2012 by thefashionminx

Superbowl Sunday!!! Today was a fun, relaxing day. We spent the day cooking, eating, and watching the game at our good friend’s house. And…the GIANTS won! GO NY!!!

Today was a bit warmer, so I put on my leather jacket. (Although I didn’t realize the intense chill in the air,so I put a fur vest over this jacket, and added a scarf right after the photos were snapped LOL)

I wore my super comfortable Frye Deborah boots. I love them and the stud detailing! And and I simply love my leopard Diego bag, it adds a pop to every outfit. Hope you all had a great Sunday!! Enjoy!!!

Wanna play in the park?

I took a ride with my boyfriend to his hometown of Bayonne, NJ today. It was really chilly today…..Winter is coming! 😉 I wore my Mackage coat, and did I mention that I LOVE it? Not only is it stylish and comfortable, but it’s SO WARM! I also took out my Alexander Wang Leopard Diego for a spin. Great bag. I love everything about it….the shape, studs on bottom, and leopard print.
