Spring starts next week! How is that possible? I am a little slow this year in getting my spring capsule wardrobe on the blog. The weather has been so cold and stormy, spring has not been on my radar. My capsule should definitely hit the blog next week! In the meantime, I still have a spring wish list!

This spring season, I am not sure how often we will have warm weather. Therefore, I am pairing down what I buy for the spring as it appears I will still need to integrate some winter clothing into my daily outfits. It is cold, and the ocean is falling from the sky! Despite the fact that it is March, our weather is acting like it is still January. What type of Twilight Zone is this?? But I digress. . . let’s talk about spring shopping! It is way more fun. haha

For the upcoming spring season, I would love to get a new pair of Mary Jane shoes, since the style is hotter than hot. In addition to this hot shoe style, ballet flats are back with a vengeance, and I have a pair buried in my closet. Those will definitely be brought back out this spring season! Loafers are also a must have this spring as they are the perfect match to balance the ongoing menswear trend we are seeing in fashion. Keep wearing your blazers with jeans, and rock those power suits at work. Love!

Straw totes are always a favorite of mine, and since I have the perfect small tote, I would love to add a larger tote to my collection. I have my eye on this beautiful straw tote. The straps and ombre weave are beautiful. I. Must. Have.

As you know, green is one of the hot colors this spring season, and this cute, yet structured sweater jacket, seems perfect for brightening up the day, looking springy, and offering some warmth. Love that!

Would it be spring without nautical stripes? Of course not! I love this long sleeve, nautical tee. I have decided I need it in my life.

Have you seen Tory Burch’s new tote collection? They are simple, chic, and available in tons of colors and sizes. I am drawn to this neutral hue. What do you think?

Lastly, how cute is this shamrock necklace? I would love to layer it with my little star necklace. So cute!!

Handbag wish list spring 2022

handbag wish list spring 2022

Spring 2022 handbag wish list from top left: straw top handle bag (perfect for late spring and the summer season) / chic white top handle bag / fun soft yellow shoulder bag / practical green tote for work / chic white shoulder bag / trendy black bulb bag for everyday wear /

So many bags, so little time! As you know, I am a huge handbag fan. There are so many fabulous handbags on the market every season, unfortunately I cannot possibly purchase all of them! Aside from the cost, there simply are not enough days, or outfits, to wear them all! Therefore, I have put together my seasonal wish list filled with the top six handbags I want the most. I usually figure out what I really need each season, and snap up one or two. Right now, these are the bags I feel will serve me well during the spring and summer seasons. I hesitate to call this my spring/summer wish list, since the summer season presents new needs; such as tote bags for travel and the beach!

One thing that is huge on my wish list right now is a white bag. While I have a medium size lady bag in white by Gucci, I would like a smaller bag that isn’t fussy. In addition, my ivory Chanel 2.55 is fussy because it’s lambskin and I need to be extra careful while wearing it. The white bags on my wish list have sturdier leather which and be cleaned and also be worn stress-free. Love that-need that!

Hobo bags are huge right now, and I am all set with one structured hobo and one soft hobo. That being said, the bulb version of this style is a cross between a bucket bag and a hobo bag, and I feel like I need one in my life! This classic black version would be perfect as a go-to, everyday bag. It is roomy and easy to wear over the shoulder. I would love to have one in my closet!

I am due for a new work bag! This green tote is a beautiful shade of green, and the square tote is on trend for 2022. I love everything about this tote. It is very high up on my wish list due to practicality and sheer beauty. Love!

Who doesn’t want a fun bag for warm weather? This straw top handle bag, or this bright yellow shoulder bag, would be perfect for the spring and summer seasons as my fun bag. Which shall I choose? What do you think? Do you have a favorite?

Coach spring 2022 handbags wish list

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?
