Spring 2013 fashion trends: the structured satchel

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.

We found a few fabulous structured satchels around the web for spring 2013 and assembled them into this article. We hope you love them! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous

Blue and green for spring 2013

With Emerald green being the color of the year, and shades of blue being hot for the spring season, it is no wonder that one of the popular color combinations for the upcoming warm weather season is the combination of blue and green.

Shades of blue and green are hot for the spring 2013 season. These two colors combined create a fresh color combination which is easy to wear and will definitely turn heads. This oceanic color combination is easy to pull off; especially since blue and green play so well together! Love this!

To rock the blue and green trend, look for solid colors which look nice together such as emerald green skinny jeans paired with a navy or cobalt top. You can also add colorful jewelry, scarves, shoes and handbags! It does not matter how many shades of blue and green you wear at one time, the colors blend easily and appear soft; meaning you would not want to do this with brighter shades such as orange and yellow.

We put together a few blue and green looks to help inspire an oceanic idea from your closet. Hope you love it! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous

Fall 2013 color report

Pantone has released the fall 2013/winter 2014 color report! With New York Fashion Week autumn/winter 2013/2014 starting today, the new fall color palette is being revealed on the runway. Pantone has put together a fabulous report which showcases the top ten colors for fall 2013.

In fall 2012 we enjoyed a colorful palette which was vibrant and flowed easily from the cheery colors we enjoyed in spring 2012. For fall 2013, the color palette is more somber and offers a more traditional look at colors. Instead of bright hues, the colors are darker and more on the neutral side. The color of 2013, Emerald green is still important and as are blue, purple and pink; but the colors are more like “splashes” which liven up darker ensembles and overall looks.
