Stay bright on rainy days this spring

Oh the rain! Here in the San Francisco Bay Area, we have had an extremely dry winter. The mild climate and warm sunshine have allowed Fashionistas around Northern California to start wearing their fabulous spring clothing and accessories. The bright spring 2012 colors combined with the sunny weather have put everyone in the mood for the warm summer months. Of course, the rain has decided to come now, in the middle of March. 

The March rains are seasonal. Every year we enjoy spring showers through April. The odd thing about this particular rain storm is that it just does not feel right! We have been enjoying spring weather over the past few months and going back to winter, for even just one week, feels odd.
Fortunately the bright spring colors of the season can keep us in our warm weather moods and brighten up even the dreariest of days. So toss aside that black umbrella, boring black rain boots and black nylon handbag. It is time to brighten up the grey sky!
Furla has fabulous spring handbags this season which also happen to be made from rubber. Perfect for the rain! These bright little numbers will also work perfectly when the weather is warm and sunny since a rubber handbag will survive a day at the beach and an entire summer by the pool. 
In addition to Furla brightening up the world of handbags, there are so many fabulous and colorful rain boots on the market right now. Why would you wear black? Look for polka dots, yellow, bright green, festive blues and of course the color of the year; Tangerine Tango. 
We scoured the web and found a few bright, rain friendly items to add a little sunshine to rainy days. Hope you enjoy! Stay dry and fabulous

Colorful satchels for spring

The spring 2012 runways in New York, Milan, Paris and London gave the fashion world two very distinct handbag styles for the warm weather season; the daytime clutch and classic satchel. The classic satchel was shown on the runway mainly with two top handles, although the single top handle satchel is just as timeless as the double. This iconic and classic handbag style has been at the forefront of fashion for the past several seasons, and for spring 2012, as well as fall 2012, the timeless silhouette is as hot as ever.

Since satchels are timeless, many Fashionistas happen to own at least one of this iconic handbag style. Since spring 2012 is all about color, the hottest way to wear a satchel this season is in a vibrant spring hue! There is no need to worry about the shelf life of a colorful satchel. Although black is back for fall 2012, designers are still showing vivid colors, and spring 2013 is forecast to be colorful too.

We assembled a few colorful and fabulous satchels from the current spring 2012 season which can easily take you through spring 2013 in the Polyvore set below. Hope you love it!
