Style Find: Mar y Sol 'Guadalupe' Straw Shopper

this straw bag, as you can see, isn't the average straw bag. it's not only adorably fun and bold, but it would function perfectly with casual and more dressy summer ensembles.

i admit, i'm not typically drawn to straw bags, but after seeing this one's unique flower design, i can definitely see myself carrying this in the sweltering heat-- i would be miserable (heat, yuck), but at least i'd have a cute bag, right?

available in an assortment of colors, find the Mar y Sol 'Guadalupe' Straw Shopper at nordstrom.com

Botkier Clyde in Acid Yellow

for summer, i love bright accessories. it keeps me in a good mood for starters, and keeps my mind off the fact that i'm not a fan of the season (ha!). while perusing a new website called shopdressonline.com, i found this bright little number...

Botkier's Clyde in "Acid" Yellow Cowhide is a perfect bag to add that pop of color to any look, not to mention the shape is classic.

fyi, shopdressonline.com is the online boutique for an actual store called Dress in san fransisco. the site itself is much like the store, mixing a collection of basic pieces with more trendy items, giving the customer the range to keep her wardrobe functional, yet current.

stay tuned, as i will be sharing more fabulous things from Dress with you!

a simple way to add color to your fall wardrobe

with all the gray and navy going on for fall, a girl needs a punch of color to spice things up! i have always been a fan of the color pink (it makes me happy), so when i came across this Marc by Marc Jacobs bag, i had to share!

this Faridah shoulder bag not only gives the punch of color i so desire, but really has the shape of a great everyday bag. the fuchsia grained leather with gold hardware has a single shoulder strap, two turn lock fastening pockets, a zip fastening pocket across front, a concealed magnetic fastening and monogrammed cotton lining.

fabulous handbags: Rebecca Minkoff

Rebecca Minkoff.

heard of her? of course you have! at least that's what i have to think. mainly because she's very well known, and her bags are everywhere.


i have been introduced to her and her handbag collection, and i didn't know i knew. i knew of the bags-- i've seen celebs wearing them-- but not who the designer was. it turns out, Rebecca created one of my favs (that i don't actually have, but drool over) ever. the Nikki Bag.

loved by stars like Lauren Conrad, Vanessa Minnillo, Jessica Alba and Hillary Duff , this bag is slouchy, yet able to fit a 12" computer. talk about a multi-tasker! the Nikki hobo features maximum utility while still remaining very cool, and is the best bag for a day to night look.




of course, Rebecca creates so many other bags that are sought after and loved. for example, the Morning After Bag-- the bag that started it all. it was originally created by Rebecca for her friend, Jenna Elfman. now, it is everywhere, in seven colors, and even in a mini version. Hayden Panettiere and Lindsay Lohan are a huge fans of this one!

the Market bag (featured in the Sex and the City movie in Yellow) is perfect for those lazy sundays, and in my opinion, every other day! this bag is the perfect size to fit just about anything.









isn't it fabulous? love!!




the Clutch is oversized, but compact, and perfect for the must-haves you can't leave home without. the luxury of a RM handbag but small enough for your hurried days (or nights) on the town.



Rebecca Minkoff designs fabulous handbags, lets face it. and the ones i have featured are not all of them! so head over to her website, and see for yourself.

great bags to love...

great bags are designed everyday, and i thought i'd share with you two from the brand Treesje that have caught my attention:



Divino Grande in Mocha Shimmer -- you can't go wrong with a bag like this! three separate compartments help you keep the life you pack in it organized. aside from the storage the Divino Grande is the picture of elegance and fashion.









Magnolia in Black Patent --with it's ruffle detail, has 2 braided handles as well as a shoulder strap and is a perfect sized tote for your every need. zipper details and pleated corners, the Magnolia is a head turner.
