Can you believe the 4th of July is almost here?! I’m not quite sure where the time has gone. To celebrate this patriotic season, why not invest in a fabulous red, white, or blue handbag! It will be the perfect way to complete your 4th of July look. Love that!

The top three bags in the photo set above are on my wish list. Aren’t they fabulous?! The white shoulder bag also comes in red, and it is absolutely stunning in person. That blue triangle bag is a cult favorite. Triangles are starting to emerge as an important shape in handbags; this is the one that put triangle bags on the map!

Red, white, and blue are handbag colors which are also being shown in the fall collections. Some of these bags are pre-fall, and even fall 2018! So, if you do invest in a red, white or blue handbag, it will have longevity. I’m loving white bags for the fall season. Of course, I’m a sucker for a red bag in the fall too; oh, and blue is my favorite color!

I’m loving backpacks. and shoulder bags which double as cross body bags, for the 4th of July. They are so easy to carry around while attending all the fun festivities on Independence Day!

Which patriotic handbag is your favorite? Are you a red, white or blue handbag fan? Which handbag style if your favorite to wear on the 4th of July?

Thanks for stopping by!

Logo bags for 2018

Well, it appears that logo bags are here to stay; at least for now. I thought the logo bag trend was fleeting, but designers seem to be loving it and showcasing various logo designs in future collections. So, at least for 2018, the logo bag is here to stay.

There are several ways to wear the logo bag trend. You can go with a traditional “CC” on a Chanel bag or “GG” on a Gucci bag, or you can go the very trendy route and opt for the entire designer’s name written on the bag. As you can see in the examples above, designers are making sure their names are the focal point of their bags.

The trendy logo bags we are seeing for 2018 tend to be more casual then the traditional small logos displayed on a bag’s clasp. This makes the current crop of logo bags easy to wear everyday and on the weekends. If you are looking for something fun to wear everyday, and don’t mind a one to two season bag, then a logo bag might be your thing!

What do you think of the logo bag trend? Will you be wearing it this year?

Current wish list

Happy National Splurge Day! Well hopefully you have some extra cash burning a hole in your wallet-because today is the day to splurge on that special somethin’ somethin’ you have been eyeing for awhile, but haven’t pulled the trigger on.

I have been eyeing soooooo many pretty things! Of course, I can’t splurge on everything; I need to have money left in the bank for silly things like, well you know, food. haha That being said, I plan to pick one thing from this post to splurge on. Right now I am debating if I need these boots or this bag more. What do you think?

All the things I wish I could splurge on:

What do plan to splurge on today?

Thanks for stopping by and happy national splurge day!
