Late spring is here! This means our shopping habits are shifting towards outdoor events and summer handbags. How fabulous is this classic basket bag? Basket and woven bags are always on trend in the summer, but this one is always on the IT list. I love a good investment bag. Who wants to keep buying a new basket bag every year? Not me! I love this small basket tote for summer. Perfection.

Street sneakers are continuing to be a hot trend in footwear, and this pair is really fun. This year, look for color combo’s you love in street sneakers, as well as comfort.

As you know, handbag styles from the early 2000s have been making a comeback the past few years. This summer, the trend is exploding, and you will see not only comeback styles, similar styles, and inspired styles, but an uptick in vintage bags hitting the streets. I will talk more about this next week on the blog, but in the meantime, this large hobo is hot on the street and also this black mini bag; which is reminiscent of the small pouch trend from the late 1990s into the early 2000s.

It was the week of the handbag! This week everyone is looking for a fabulous bag to wear now and well into the summer season. This straw tote bag is once again, a hot bag to own. If you already snapped one up last year, or the year before, you are all set! If not, this is a classic designer straw tote which happens to fit into the summer 2022 straw bag trend. Love that!

Soft and squishy handbags are hot right now too. Look for a classic one like this satchel, or an on trend soft hobo. Another hot handbag trend right is the small or micro bag trend. I can’t do ultra-mini, but this small top handle bag fits the trend while still fitting a phone and wallet. Whew!

Need a last-minute gift for Mother’s Day or graduation? These fabulous gemstone bracelets are perfect, plus they are under $50. I love that they are made here in San Jose by a local designer. Love!

My favorite trend of the season is the return of the power suit and blazers. This bright blue blazer is ideal for wearing with matching bottoms, or over jeans. This summer we will see blazers over shorts and dresses. Love this trend!

This week was all about handbags, spring nail polish, and stocking up on basics for spring such as jeans. This is also the perfect time to find that special gift for mom. Mother’s Day is fast approaching! Check out my post filled with Mother’s Day gift ideas.

I absolutely adore these beautiful gemstone bracelets. They are made by a local jewelry designer here in San Jose, California. All of her bracelets are priced under $50, making them a special yet affordable gift. I highly recommend purchasing three. The ideal bracelet stack is three bracelets. Since it is the beginning of short sleeve season, Mom will love these bracelets because she can show them off on her arm! Love that!
