PVC shoes and PVC handbags for spring 2019

You knew it was coming back! Clear bags and shoes have been popping up on the runways, and on the streets, for the past few seasons. Now, for the spring 2019 season, they are taking everyone’s closet by storm! That is, if you let PVC into your closet-and I hope you do!

PVC is a fun trend. Let’s face it. You can’t take jelly shoes, or clear handbags, too seriously. This playful trend is popping up mainly in the form of  PVC shoes, and PVC handbags; although, you will find it on other accessories, and on clothing.

The PVC trend has been fading in and out of style for the past five years. While it appeared to fade away roughly two years ago, it really emerged in 2018 to tell the world it was never really gone. In 2019, PVC plans to take over your closet-if you are brave enough to let it.

When it comes to shoes, the PVC trend can be tricky. As we know from the past, PVC is not nice to your skin when it directly rubs against it. PVC edges on shoes can leave you in stitches; literally. Also, PVC shoes that don’t have holes will turn your shoe into a swimming pool; not a good look, and not very comfortable at all. Plus, it’s gross. Ew.

When looking for PVC shoes this spring 2019 season, I recommend finding shoes with edging covered in something soft like leather. Or, look for jelly-like plastic.

Shop PVC shoes for spring 2019:

My favorite way to rock the PVC trend is with a handbag. A PVC handbag won’t hurt your skin, and it is quite fun! You can find PVC handbags in clear white plastic, as well as clear tinted plastic, and solid plastic. Just remember, the see-through plastic is the most on-trend for the spring season. The world wants to see what’s in your bag! Of course, if you don’t want to the world to see what’s in your bag, find one with a pouch; or you can use make-up bags from your closet to hide your belongings.

What do you think of the PVC trend for spring 2019? Will  you be rocking it, or skipping it? If you plan to rock it, are you a shoe or a handbag gal? I’m definitely a handbag gal; but you knew that right?! haha

Valentine’s Day gifts for yourself

Valentine’s Day Gifts for Yourself from top left: heart handbag / iPhone case / lipstick / street sneakers / lip sweater / teddy bear with candy /

Can you believe Valentine’s Day is almost here! Well, some of you might be excited, while others, might be planning a black roses themed day; but to each his or her own. That’s why instead of creating a gift guide for her, him, kids, friends, etc., I decided this year to find things that are fun, and in theme for the day; but that we would like to give ourselves. After all, aren’t we the best at giving ourselves gifts? Also, if your relationship is like mine, my hubby hates shopping. I buy my own gift, give it to him to wrap, then he gives it back to me on the given holiday. Yup, I shop for me! Let’s all shop for ourselves!

I found a few fabulous gifts we can all give to ourselves. Designer street sneakers, a fun designer bag, some candy, a little chocolate, cozy PJ’s, and more! Isn’t that we all want anyway? I hope you love these gift ideas to give yourself!

Love yourself this Valentine’s Day! What are you planning to give yourself?

How fabulous is this sunny weather we are having! I can finally get outside and be active-which is one of my goals in 2019! Love!

I’m loving these fabulous Chico’s Zenergy® so slimming pants. They look like skinny jeans right?! Love that! They are actually super soft leggings disguised as jeans; aka jeggings. I can go from the hiking trail to a restaurant in these pants. They’re my new addiction. I paired them with this lightweight jacket and long sleeve tee-also from Chico’s. They are perfect for going from a workout to the street. Love!

The Chico’s Zenergy collection is filled with fashionable activewear which is perfect for taking you from the hiking trail, the gym; or whichever workout you are enjoying, to the street. You can sit down at a restaurant, run errands, and more without feeling like you are walking around in a sports bra and leggings. Love that!

You can find Chico’s Zenergy® collection online at chicos.com.
