Now that daylight savings time has started, I feel like spring needs to be here! Thankfully the grey weather has stopped, and we finally have some sunshine in the sky! Despite the sun, the temperatures are still hovering in the 40’s and 50’s. This means we still need to wear warm clothing; so not spring-like! Ugh!
I have decided that I am done with booties! I have been wearing them since September and I feel like it’s time to lighten my footwear. Despite the 40 degree temperatures, I wore these comfy snakeskin sandals the other day. Since I was wearing jeans and long sleeves, I decided sandals would be OK. I won’t tell you how cold my toes were. We can pretend my freezing toes didn’t happen. haha
These snakeskin sandals turned out to be surprisingly comfortable! They have a Velcro fastener at the ankle, which makes them easy to take off in the car for driving; I don’t drive in heels. They are also comfy and easy to walk in. If my toes weren’t cold, I would have walked all over town in them!
I have been clinging to my jeans from the fall season. This spring 2019 season, the denim styles are a throwback to the 1980s and 1990s. I am not thrilled about acid wash, high waisted mom jeans, or cropped flares. None of these styles are very flattering when you have curves; so I will continue my spring denim search and let you know when I find a flattering cut! In the meantime, you will find me in my jeans from last season. Flip hair-don’t care. haha

What are your thoughts on the jeans this season? Do you like the silhouettes, or are you in my boat?
In a world full of really expensive handbags, it’s nice to know there are IT bags priced well under $1000. In addition to handbags having an IT factor, there is an uprising of ultra-cool handbag designers which are carried by fashion insiders, and bear absolutely no logo’s what-so-ever. Hear that? I’ll say it again, no logos.
The ultra-cool thing to do at the moment, is to carry a handbag which bears no logo, and offers an unique silhouette. 2019 is all about fabulous handbags which are eye-catching, and bear the name of a designer only those in-the-know will actually be able to identify. This is not the year to flaunt your handbag designer’s name, this is the year to make people wonder who you are carrying, and make people covet your bag. Oh-but wait! There’s more!
These incognito IT bags bear one more interesting fact; they are priced under $1000. Say whaaa-aaat??
That’s right! You can carry an ultra-cool handbag, coveted by fashion industry insiders, for under $1000. This means we can all be cool on a budget. Of course, if your budget is $3000, then you can carry three bags instead of one. Loving this!
Handbag designers with bags priced under $1000 were all over the streets of New York at fashion week. Fashion buyers, journalists, and more were carrying these highly covetable bags, and those not-in-the-know, were left scratching their heads.
So, without further ado, here are five designer handbag brands to covet, watch, and buy, in 2019; and you won’t have to break the bank doing it. Love!
Boyy
This cool-girl handbag brand has been around for many seasons, but starting last year, it started to gain traction. While a few of their styles barely hover above $1000, and under $1100, the majority of their handbag styles are under $1000. Boyy bags are highly desired by big name fashion journalists who work for iconic fashion publications, as well as quiet yet important fashion industry insiders. This is the bag to own now. Pick your favorite style, and be fabulous.

Spring 2019 shoe trends are here! Stores are well stocked with the most fabulous shoes for the upcoming warm weather season, and there are so many trends to look for while shopping! This spring 2019 season, you can look forward to more comfortable shoe styles, funky heels, and playful designs. It’s going to be a fun season!
Chunky Heels
The spring 2019 season is all about chunky, funky heels. Often times the heels will be multi-colored or PVC. Look for interesting heels while shoe shopping! Of course, of you aren’t into chunky funky heels, kitten heels are in too; but big and clunky is way more fun!
Espadrilles (Obvi)
Did you know espadrilles are huge for spring? Um-did you know florals are in too? Groundbreaking! Ha! Yes, pull out last year’s espadrilles because they are very, very fabulous for spring 2019.
Snakeskin
You saw it on the streets! One of the biggest trends on the streets of New York Fashion Week was snakeskin. This is a huge fabrication for the spring 2019 season. While most of what you see on the market will be faux snakeskin-usually snakeskin print on leather; it will still have the look. I love the look of snakeskin. The texture looks fresh, making it a great way to update your wardrobe this spring season. Love!
PVC
Well, PVC is huge. I plan to rock this trend with a handbag, but if you are brave, you can try rocking it in shoes. PVC shoes are very hot this spring, so if you think you can handle the chafing-go for it!
Chunky street sneakers
Chunky street sneakers are so big for spring, I already wrote about them! You can read my post here. This is spring’s most comfortable trend. After you kill your feet in PVC shoes, you can relax in a pair of chunky street sneakers. That works! Look for funky soles, bright colors, and statement making sneakers. Have fun with this one!
Anything Yellow
I know coral is the color of 2019, but yellow is having a moment too. Look for yellow shoes, in any style! This is a fun way to add a little sunshine to your footsies.
