Top 5 Spring Trends

Spring is here so lets get your wardrobe together. I recently talk to Kar at Clotheshorse and she gave me her top 5 great picks for you to add to your closet:

1) PINK. The most powerful color on the runway! Wear it with hot corals for a look that says spring 2009.



2) COLORFUL CARDIGANS. It becomes your new jacket. Wear it belted for a look that is truly updated.


3) SNAKESKIN ACCESSORIES. A shoe, a bag, the real deal or a print. Chic reptilian motifs are the perfect exotic touch for your warm weather wardrobe.


4) STATEMENT SHOES. Sky-high stilettos defined the runway and will define your look for spring with sexy shoes that bring your wardrobe excitement from head to toe.


5) ONE-SHOULDER DRESSING. From New York to Paris, the one shoulder bared itself on every runway.

What's in your bag instyle edition....

People alike are always wondering what is in a womens bag.... I have let you guys catch a glimpse a couple times of what I stuff into mine. Well, over at Instyle they have a section all about what's in your bag. The section features all walks of life from actress, to staff members, to individuals like me and you send in their pictures.

Here is the very first entry made by Jenn the editor of instyle.com

In my opinion, the bigger the bag, the better—and if you ask me, that bag better be fabulous! As an editor at InStyle.com, I rely on my giant Chanel CoCo Cabana patent tote to get me from home to work to events and more, and it’s always packed with girl-on-the-go essentials. I carry my digital camera with me at all times—I’m obsessed with snapping candids, and when you live in New York City, you never know what you’re going to see! One perk of my job is getting a look at the hottest items before they hit stores, and having a camera on hand helps jog my memory when developing fashion and beauty stories. I absolutely adore my glittery pink Swarovski crystal-encrusted RAZR cell phone (boasting a sweet cherry blossom motif I designed myself) and depend on it to keep me in touch with my favorite people throughout the day. A true beauty junkie, I always have a sizable stash of shimmery lip glosses with me for quick touchups. And most importantly, when it comes to accessories, I find that my tried-and-true classic Louis Vuitton wallet (a gift from my mom) is the ultimate organizer for my credit cards, cash, ID and more.

If i had...

a 15 minute shopping spree at the Louis Vuitton store in the Galleria in Dallas I would buy these top items in a blink of an eye....1. Muget Thong Sandals $495
I love sandals and these particular ones exudes luxury and comfort at the same time2. Monogram mini lin croisette Martina GM bag $1620
I always need a new handbag and the bigger the better

3. Monogram inclusion bracelet GM $400
Diamonds are some girls best friends mine is a bracelet with a touch of jazz all over

4. Pastilles Phone Accessory $205
The iphone needs love too...LOL

5. Monogram Canvas Galliera Gm $1410
A girl can never have to much monogram in her life...LOL

So ladies & gents if you had 5 minutes in your fave store what you grab & why...

I really LOVE my....

Rihanna in her Members Only Liquid Leggings

Angie Jolie Lee LOVES her Anya Hindmarch "Cooper" bag with glam mirror details

Bey carries D&G

Beyonce style game has gone up several notches in the last month or so. Especially her purse game.

Botkier new designer for Target

Target has signed fashion designer Monica Botkier to be added to their special limited-time accessory designer collections. They have had previous success with the Gryson collection. These bags — priced $20-$50 — will be at select Target stores and at target.com July 20 through September 14. The line will be functional and hit the marks with having virbant colors, and structures to chose from. I really love having designers bags for a lesser price but with the same quality of a product.

I really love my....

This is my fave section when I read people. Cause I normally really LOVE that item too and wish it was in my closet...

Nicky Hilton wears her KM Gladiators in black while running errands in L.A.

Jessica Simpson hawks her bag line every chance she gets. A lot of the looks remind me of Michael Kors purses.

Lindsay Lohan and her LV Monogram Mini Lin Speedy 30

Ethnic Prints and Tribal Trends

This summer, bright colors (yellow, green, & vibrant purple just to name a few) are one of trends to watch and be apart. With those lethal colors the next best thing is to add Ethnic Prints & tribal patterns. Thats what's hot in the streets for the summer and it will fade into the fall. You can read about them in every fashion magazine that is on the book shelf. (check Instyle June issue (Cameron rocks a dress in the issue) This trend is fierce and works very well with the trends that are already running rampant for the summer.. IE. gladiator sandals and animal prints. With this trend you can either go big or small. I'm gonna go with the saying "go big or go home."I have complied several items you can add to your wardrobe. Please remember every trend doesn't suit every person. So work with what works for you.

DVF has several dresses like this available at Nordstrom

Chanel's new BFF

No its Beyonce. Just Jared has picks of her and her new hubby arriving in Cannes. In the last couple weeks she has been rocking alot of Chanel and bright color nails. Honestly she reminds me of a AA stewardess in this outfit, but definitely hot...

Websites that LOVE bags just like me

I am a bag whore and I know it. Long as I have a great bag on my arm my outfits gonna look like a million bucks and I believe this. Cause I am normally in work clothes or keeping it low key in some jeans and a white v-neck. Well, I thought it would be great to list websites that help you find the right bag or that just give more information on that bag you want.

1. Bagsnob. First, this two woman are from the Dallas area and they provide knowleabgle information on bags. Such on the varies types of Hermes to what is the right bag for you. And they are always having monthly contest for the visitors.

2. Purse Blog. Is a website ran by a happy couple that travels every five seconds from what i read on the website. But they keep us well informed on the limited LV bags and they also have a forum for members to discuss topics such as; how to shop on ebay and how do you spot a fake.

3. Bagbliss. I stumbled on this blog about two weeks ago and it really one of my faves. Because she doesn't just showcase designer fabs she does bags that are less da da price. And the website always is VERY well informed on the bag. And I love when she compares the fakes to real one.

Oh by the way thats the bag I want if anyone wants to get it for my birthday :)

I heart Bottega

Everyone that knows me is that I am ALWAYS searching for a new purse to rock on my arm. I got to have arm candy besides my bangles. The Bottega Tri Compartment tote in Lotus or Putty is the purse that is giving me the FIERCENESS of the moment. I truly adore the nude one because of its versatility. Some people might not love the woven look or thinking Bottega gives the same look every season. I say, no they are long standing company. I rather rock a bag that know one knows what it is then people know I wearing Gucci or LV and go jack my swagger and go get it. Now how many bags can you say "beautiful" and "sensible" about in one sentence? Bottega Veneta Tote in Putty $2,650 or Lotus Pink color $2,780 at Net a porter.

Let me hold that purse

Another picture of Victoria as model for Marc Jacobs has surfaced. I actually love that VB can poke fun at herself and still look FIERCE.

My Purse III
