Best spring 2016 handbags

hottest handbags for spring 2016

From top left: saddle bag (#1 on my wish list! Under $1000) / red bag (classic bag, one my wish list!) / pale blue shoulder bag (under $300) / red mini tote (under $500 and comes in white!) / navy box bag (hot designer IT bag) /  circle tote (three colors in stock) (I pre-ordered one-love!)

Spring has sprung, and there are so many amazing handbags on store shelves for the season! Many of these bags are ideal for both spring, and summer; so they are perfect to buy now. As always, my wish list is bigger than my bank account, so some of these bags will remain a dream, while others, might get squeezed into my budget.

The spring 2016 season is all about several IT bag styles. Here are a few of the season’s hottest handbag trends, and my wish list above, fits into all of them.

Saddle bags: I did a full article on this trend here. They are classic yet nostalgic. I love the 1970s vibe saddle bags bring to the fashion table. They are lightweight, easy to wear everyday, practical, and so cute! My top choice for the season is this one.

Box bags: Structured box bags are so Jackie O. I love this trend, and I am waiting for it to explode. If you are not into carrying a box around, look at Mansur Gavriel’s soon-to-be-iconic circle bag. It has been selling out quickly, so if you are interested, you can pre-order yours online here or here.

Mini bags: This seems to be the trend which never dies. Despite designers not showcasing it in full force on the runways, (runway bags have been bigger the last few seasons), consumers love their mini bags. If you have not purchased one yet, I recommend this one. The price is moderate, and the style is perfection.

Large tote: This is not really a trend, more of a summer classic, and necessity. Everyone needs the perfect summer tote! For summer 2016, look for multi-colored totes, patterned totes, and stay away from solid colors. Totes for summer 2016 are F-U-N! I have my eyes on this one.

Handbag trends for spring 2016 are classic with a twist. Love that! What is your favorite handbag trend for spring 2016?

If I had a money tree, here is my entire spring 2016 handbag wish list, a girl can dream right?

All cosmetics c/o L’Oreal. From top: L’Oreal Infallable Mate Lip Gloss / eye brow makeup / mascara / eye shadow /

Sometimes the best beauty products can be found at your local drugstore. I always love finding on trend cosmetics at amazing prices; which also happen to apply nicely, stay on all day, and are nice to my skin!

One of the biggest trends in beauty right now is the  matte lip. We are seeing matte lipsticks, and lip glosses in vivid hues, with pink tones, for the spring 2016 season. The matte lip also happened to be on the fall runways in New York!

I loved how it looked on the runways, which made this beauty trend high on my list of trends to share with you, and to wear right now!

So in February, when I returned home from New York Fashion Week and found an amazing train case full of L’Oreal goodies for spring waiting for me at home, I was thrilled! After all, the perfect matte lip gloss was inside!

L’Oreal Infallable lip gloss goes on smooth, and it is not sticky like so many other lip glosses on the market. I also love all the colors. There are fabulous hues for spring, summer, and next fall! Love!

The brow kit pictured above is also a great way to structure brows. I love the tools inside the compact, they are really to use. I also love how each compact offers two hues, which help design a natural looking brow.

Did you see all the beautiful eye shadow colors? Love! The neutral colors are perfect for everyday wear, and the blue is ideal for a night out on the town; or the next time one of my friends throws an 80’s party. Totally tubular 😉

You can find all these pretty products by L’Oreal at your local drugstore, or online here, and here.
