One of the big handbag trends for the past several seasons has been the drawstring handbag. For spring 2015, designers have gone full steam ahead and created several versions of the drawstring handbag and bucket bag for the warm weather season. This is definitely the “IT” handbag style of the spring 2015 season; as well as the summer 2015 season.

Drawstring bags began to gain popularity when Mansur Gavriel introduced their simple version a few seasons ago. The drawstring bucket bag designed by Mansur Gavriel was moderately priced and came in a variety of colors with contrasting interiors. The handbag was so popular that it sold out within minutes of being introduced. This led to the current craze. As Fashionistas and handbag lovers everywhere went crazy trying to get their hands on a Mansur Gavriel bucket bag, other designers saw the trend and capitalized on it by introducing their own versions of this classic, casual handbag style.

Now that spring 2015 is here, designers and handbag brands have launched varieties of drawstring bags and buckets bags for the warm weather season. Drawstring bucket bags can be found in solid colors, vegan fabrications, bi-color styles and quilted. Designers are also showing drawstring bucket bags both in minimalist styles and embellished styles. There is definitely a style for everyone when it comes to bucket bags this season!

Since drawstring bags are casual in nature, this is an easy handbag trend to get behind for the spring 2015 season. You will find yourself reaching for this handbag almost everyday. Bucket bags are also roomy, which allows you carry everything you need, and more!

I found a few fabulous drawstring bags and buckets bags around the web and assembled them into the shopping widget below. I hope you love them ! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉

The rain has finally stopped, at least for a few days, which means I get to wear my new blue suede shoes! Yay! I had been eyeing these shoes by Aquazurra for several months, but I was waiting for the right color to come along. When I spotted them in this pretty blue hue at ShopBop, I knew it was time to pull the trigger. I am so happy I did!

One of the hardest things to find is a comfortable pair of high heels; especially a pair which is 4″ high. There are a few brands or designers which I find comfortable, but unfortunately, they are far and few between. I heard through the grapevine that Aquazurra’s high heels are incredibly comfortable, so I knew I needed a pair! I am glad I found this pair in blue because they are both comfy and cute. Love that!

From now on, I am going to keep my eye on Aquazurra for new colors and styles. Since this pair is comfortable, I know more styles from the brand will be too. Three cheers for adding a comfy brand to my approved list of shoes!

A few of my favorite high heels brands, which are both beautiful and comfortable, are Manolo Blahnik, Joie, Aquazurra and Valentino. Which shoe brands do you find make comfortable high heels?

Kendra Scott’s jewelry collection has been around for several years, yet I have never really looked too deep into the collection. When Kendra Scott previewed her fall 2014 collection at the RewardStyle party during New York Fashion Week, I was thrilled to get an up-close look at a beautiful jewelry collection I had never really looked at before. The fall 2014 collection featured classic and colorful pieces which are a trademark of Kendra Scott’s long-term collection. Her fall 2014 collection also featured on-trend items such as the bracelet pictured above and the amazing ring featured in these photos. There were so many beautiful pieces from Kendra Scott’s fall 2014 collection showcased at the event, that I now have a mile-long wish list of pieces I would like to buy! Now, all I need is a money tree in my backyard so that I can afford all my fall “wants!” Such is life. . .
