Bags in Disguise

I think personal style is the easiest way to express your personality. I love having fun and a sense of humor with my fashion choices- it reminds me to never take myself too seriously! This is why I was thrilled to see such fun and funky handbags coming back into style! These bags are statement pieces. You can barely even tell some of these are handbags! My personal favorite is the kate spade love story clutch in the top left corner, but retailing at $328, I’m not sure it’s worth the splurge! But, not all of these handbags are priced equally. Can your EYE (hint, hint!) spy the most expensive handbag below?

The Grown-up Backpack

If you haven’t noticed, backpacks aren’t just for school buses anymore! They are not only the trendy new carryall, but also a practical accessory. I forgot how great backpacks were until I bought one to tote around this summer- they are great for day trips to the park, commuting to work or weekend trips! And don’t worry; there are more options than princesses and ninja turtles. Backpacks are now the chic accessory, coming in leather, studded and fringed! Below are a ton of trendy options that can take you from work to weekend!

Simply Scalloped

I admit it, I’m a sucker for a scalloped trim. There is just something very feminine and sweet about it and a scalloped trim can transform any outfit. It makes shorts more elegant, tops and dresses more playful and adds a little bit of whimsy to accessories. I see this trend popping up everywhere this season, even in some unexpected places!  Check out some of my favorite scallop trimmed pieces below!
