Spring is here! Love! Things are blooming and the sun is trying to give us a little bit of warmth here and there. This means we need to make sure our spring wardrobes are in order.

If you’re still bundled up in your winter coat, the easiest way to add a little spring to your look is with spring nail polish and a fabulous handbag. Look for the anonymous handbag this spring season. Slouchy bucket bags, belted totes, east/west bags, hobo bags, and logoless handbags are hotter than hot this season.

Also, despite the rumors about skinny jeans returning, everything is still baggy or wide leg. Look for wide leg jeans and pants as well as slouchy, baggy, and even flare. Classic cut works too!

National Fragrance Day is tomorrow! On March 21, we will all celebrate our favorite fragrances! I thought I would post about it today in order to ensure we are all prepared with our favorite scent stocked and ready for spraying!

I absolutely love perfume, and some of my favorite notes include musk, vanilla, coconut, amber, and patchouli. In the warmer months, I also love a good citrus scent. This one by Hermes is my favorite.

The Gucci and Donna Karan fragrances are currently on my wish list. When I buy them, stay tuned for my reviews!

Which fragrance are you planning on wearing tomorrow? Happy National Fragrance Day!

XOXO

spring 2025 IT Bags under $1000 from top left: studded bag / boxy tote / belted tote / suede bucket bag / east/west bag / studded strap bucket bag /

This is the golden era of handbags. We are no longer bound to expensive designer handbags adorned with recognizable logos and wannabe status silhouettes. The current IT bag is not recognizable. It is made with quality materials and craftsmanship, and it is an investment which will withstand the test of time. Love that!

Spring 2025 is all about quality, and the handbag styles we are loving right now include slouchy bucket bags, east/west bags, belted totes, studded handbags, boxy bags, mini baguettes, and hobo handbags. In addition, suede, neutral hues, shades of mocha, and flat studs or grommets are hotter than hot right now. So, look in your closet and pull out what you have stored and what you have been wearing for the past few years, because they are still hot!

When it comes to investing in a new handbag this season, this golden era of handbags is offering us plenty of options priced well under $1000, $500, and even $200. Love that!

So, without further ado, here are my favorite spring 2025 handbags priced under $1000 which also make fabulous investment handbags.

What is your favorite handbag this season?

Thanks for stopping by!

XOXO
