Spring/Summer Bags


The flowers are blooming, April showers are bringing May flowers, the birds are buzzing, and I am itching for a new bag. Usually around this time I find a bag that has caught my eye, but this year nothing seems to be fitting. I usually go for a cute, bright, colorful canvas bag but since I am getting older and I need the bag to reflect my changing style. I went to all my bag spots, but still found nothing or something way to expensive that I could not afford. Today I was browsing/taking pics for the paper at this really cute boutique gift shop called Eclections. She has such an amazing selection of different purse. at really not bad prices. She was telling me about the new prices out this season for my article and this large, bright bag caught my eye. It's a green, brown, and gold metallic bag with a nylon inside. I loved that the inside could take some wear and tear and the outside was so cool and had this embossed snake look that I continued to carry it around the store with me while taking pics for the paper and finally asked her to put it on hold for me.


If a canvas bag is too plain for you, and the bright bags are well too bright than go for the metallic bag. It really adds a different look to the traidtional spring bags of canvas and straw. It's a really hot material/color that really standout in the spring and summer.

Travel Fashion


Traveling can be a stressfull ordeal. The possible delays and the stress of missing your plane. The amount of junk food that stares you down. The evil security lines and your limited liquids in that annoying plasitc bag. Laguardia Airport.

To make the trip a tad bit easier you want to dress and pack your carry ons as efficienly as possible. There are so many stylish and also ridicoulsy dressed woman at the airport. I litterally want to scream at the woman wearing 4 inch heels! I did see a few girls in the airport who just looked so effortly gorgeous as I stared them down with envy I planned my next travel outfit. Forget the jeans I am wearing a dress. Your jeans tend to stretch through out the day making you feel fat and semi ugly and well when you are meeting a gorgeous guy at the airport theese are the last two feelings you want.

A jersey dress is the perfect answer. It has enough stretch and room to make it casual, but with an added sex appeal. Add some leggings to avoid mishaps, a jean jacket, a pair of cute flats, and a spring scarf you will be the envy of those patiently waiting for their plane.

Carrying my bags last time was a hassle because like the overpacker I am I had 3 bags. This time even though my travel time is shorter I am sticking to two bags; my purse and faux longchamp bag.

Travel is just another reason to buy a new outfit and use the bags you buy just because even though you have like 20 at home already.
