Currently Craving: My Handbag Picks for Spring 2013!

My handbag picks for Spring!!!
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!

Neon brights

I am just LOVING this weather! 70 degrees again in March! I had an amazing day today hanging at my good friend’s (and fellow awesome blogger’s) house, helping her purge her wardrobe, and get rid of things she does NOT need. God, I need to do the same thing! LOL

I threw on this new top I got from Zara, which was slightly sheer, and gave me the ideal chance to show off my neon pink bra from Victoria’s Secret. This is another great way to wear neon that isn’t too much “in your face”.  It’s a hint of color, and a great way to brighten up a plain top. I had to also take out my cobalt blue Celine luggage tote again. Now that the weather is getting warmer, I will definitely be wearing this a lot more. LOVE the cobalt blue mixed with other neons as well. How are you wearing neon this season so far?  More photos after the break. 😉
