Spring Styles: 5 Must Have Handbags

P o s t . b y    l    M i m i   

Handbags by far are my favorite accessories by far. They're versatile and can add personality to any outfit without looking over-done. Below are 5 different types of styles I find indispensable this spring.

1} Color : Bright Pastels


Pastels, in my mind, is always in. For this spring, bright pastels are a must have. It adds a pop of color to any  boring outfit.

2} Second Look : Statement


I absolutely adore anything that catches my eye for a second time. If it makes me turn my head, it must be something unique. Whether it be the color, shape, print, or style, a statement handbag is a necessity.

3} Travel Friendly : Tote


Spring is one of the busiest seasons with spring break,  music festivals, and vacations coming around the corner, making large handbags a necessity  This season, I find the "shopper tote" is the go-to handbag for days we need the extra space for all our belongings.

4} Longer Days : Cross-Body


This is by far my favorite type of handbag - the cross-body. Small or large, it is the easiest to carry since it could be worn off the shoulder or across our body. I love using cross-bodies for day and dinner dates.

5} Less is More: Clutch 


Clutches are essential for those night adventures and romantic dates. Lately, clutches with cellphone slots have been more and more popular and , I think, is pure genius! I hate to have to worry about my belongings when I'm out having a great night, so the less the better!

  2. Are you talking about the 'le pliage' tote? If so, I love its practical and every-day like timeless style. By 'worth', I personally think everyone has their own definition. Mine: if you love something enough, its worth it.

  5. Hey Mimi, You really have gathered all the crazy and most amazing designer handbags at one place. I'm feeling a great craving of buying all the handbags, But looking on other bags in my closet seems that I should wait for some time. I'm so quick when it comes to shopping, looking online stores and directly purchasing stuff is me. You can check the link of web store that I'm using, hope you'll find it useful.
