The daytime clutch has been a staple in almost every Fashionistas’ wardrobe over the past two years. This go-to handbag has earned popularity due to its simplicity and natural versatility. Daytime clutches, in many cases, can go from day into evening in a snap; making dressing for the office, then the evening, while on the go-easy! Love that!

The daytime clutch is still hot for the spring 2013 season, and this season, just like in spring 2012, the daytime clutch is bright, bright, brighter than bright! Spring 2013 is all about three types of colors; vivid pastels, bright colors and neon hues. That means, two-thirds of the daytime clutches for the spring 2013 are bright or neon hued! Put your sunglasses on, it is getting bright in here!

If you purchased a brightly hued daytime clutch in spring 2012, you are all set for the spring 2013 season; unless of course there are more colors you wish to purchase! Then by all means, go shopping! Otherwise, if you do not have at least one bright clutch in your closet for spring 2013, this is the perfect time to invest in a fabulous, bright daytime clutch!

New York designers continued to show bright colors for fall 2013, so buying a daytime clutch this spring will make a great investment for the year. When shopping for the perfect daytime clutch in a bright hue this season, look for colors which will continue from spring into fall.

The most versatile colors for the 2013 year include Emerald green, cobalt blue and red. These three colors can easily be purchased for spring 2013 and carry into fall 2013; possibly even through winter 2014! Love that!

Orange, yellow and bright pink are also fabulous colors for spring 2013, although they may not be as versatile when fall 2013 hits. Something to think about while shopping

 in Handbags / Trends  tagged satchels / spring 2013 / summer 2013 by

The satchel is arguably the most classic handbag style on the market. That being said, the satchel also happens to be the current “IT” bag of the spring 2013 season. This means that while carrying any satchel is absolutely fabulous, for the spring 2013 season, structured satchels are even more fabulous. 

The structured satchel is the most timeless type of satchel in the world of handbags. Structured satchels are often carried by women with every type of outfit from workout clothes to jeans to evening attire. Although women are spotted carrying structured satchels with almost any type of ensemble, the traditional and also trendy way to wear a structured satchel is either with professional attire or dressy attire that one would wear to a special event such as a wedding, fundraising luncheon or conference.

There are two types of structured satchels to choose from for the spring 2013 season. Satchels are offered with either one top or two handles. There is not a handle choice which is more fabulous for the spring 2013 season; this is a matter of personal preference, love that!

There are many different color combinations for structured satchels this spring. The trendy version of a structured satchel would feature color blocking, a neon hue or mixed fabrications. For a more timeless investment, structured satchels for spring can be found in solid neutral hues, pastel colors and bright shades. When choosing a color, look for a hue you love and wear no matter which color trends are happening in fashion at the moment; this will give you more longevity with a colorful satchel.
