Love all these bold colors! Spring is almost here, and everyone is jumping on the fabulous color trends of the season. Nothing brightens up a day quite like fun and colorful clothing and accessories. Love this!

It’s so easy to add fun and bright hues to your wardrobe this season. You can snap up a bright handbag and pair it with neutral tones already in your closet, or you can grab a brightly colored blazer and pair it with neutrals already in your closet. It’s an easy way to update for spring!

If you have the bandwidth to add more, look for bright tees and tops, and invest in at least one colorful blazer and handbag. If they are different colors, even better! This season is all about mixing and matching bright, solid hues. You don’t have to fiddle with prints, just snap up solid-colored pieces and you’re all set. Spring 2022 is so much fun!

Coach spring 2022 handbags wish list

Coach spring 2022 handbags wish list from top left: small east/west tote / classic logo tote / soft convertible bag (comes in green and yellow-love!) / small pink satchel / blue cross body bag / green work tote / small brown graphic tote / medium ivory graphic tote /

Coach is having a moment. They have always been a classic and iconic American handbag brand, but their spring 2022 handbag collection is out of this world. Coach has branched out, pushed the envelope, and hit a home run. I am loving it!

Last September, when Coach first showed their spring 2022 collection on the runway, I snapped up an early release of their small Cashin 22 tote. I absolutely adore this bag and enjoy wearing it often. There were several other bags on the runway I spotted, and I am still waiting for a few of those to appear on store shelves. For example, there is a brown version of the Cashin 22 tote I need in my life as well as a purple version. You cannot go wrong with a classic square tote which is small in stature yet large on the inside. Love that!

In addition to the small Cashin 22, Coach has a larger carryall for spring 2022 named the Cashin 32. I am in love with the green version as it will fit daily handbag essentials as well as a laptop. The green offers beautiful color saturation as well as that traditional Coach quality we have all come to love. It’s a clean looking bag and the green hue gives it a little bit of pizzaz. Love!

See that yellow shoulder bag in my collage? It also comes in a minty green. The leather is amazing, and it has two straps, much like my little swinger bag, which makes it quite versatile. I know I will buy one of them, but I am torn on color. It’s a fabulous bag in an edgy color, love that! There are more neutral versions of the bag, but they don’t offer that fun, alternate color cross body strap, only a matching cross body strap. Which is fine. . .but there is something about that fun pink strap. . .

What do you think of the Coach spring 2022 handbag collection? Are you snapping up at least one of the bags?

Spring 2022 shoe capsule wardrobe

Spring is here, and my spring 2022 shoe capsule wardrobe is complete. This season loafers, slides, slingbacks and sneakers are hot, so I made sure to include these street style trends in my shoe capsule wardrobe for spring 2022.

These black slides have been in my wardrobe for several years. They are broken in, and I occasionally polish them to keep them looking good. While the inside might be a little worn, they are still supportive and comfortable for the spring season. I love an investment shoe!

Street sneakers are still hot for casual looks, so these platform sneakers are still on heavy rotation. I wear them multiples times per week, all year long. They are my go-to shoe and will serve me well in the spring season. If you don’t have a fabulous pair of street sneakers, yet, what are you waiting for? Snap up a pair now!

Flats are perfect for spring since they play well with trousers, power suits, and jeans. I love this fun little yellow pair and my tan pair from last year is still serving me well. I love the chic yet comfy vibe that comes from loafer flats.

Slingbacks are the hottest thing in pumps since, well, pumps! Of course, slingbacks are a classic style in high heels, but for spring 2022 they are little more popular than their classic counterpart with closed heels. If you don’t have a pair of slingbacks, be sure to add one to your closet this season. They’ll take you through spring, summer, and fall. Love that!
