Earlier this year I announced my “colors of the year”- Emerald and Lavender were the frontrunners and I still feel the same way. I have been pretty obsessed with purple anything lately but am partial to the light & feminine lavender hue in particular…the pretty pastel screams Spring and is so adorable! There is no better way to incorporate new colors into your wardrobe than with a gorgeous new bag! Lavender pairs especially well with camel, navy, white and other pastels and is quite versatile for a candy color. Love color? wear your lavender bag with a floral dress or pant for the ultimate Spring look.

So unless you live across the pond or outside of the U.S. you must truck on down to your local H&M store to find these items.

Hello everyone, I’m here with another Instagram roundup from the last week(ish). Thanks for stopping by! To see more, follow me on Instagram @yourstylejourney.
A couple of years back Fendi jumped on the cute USB drive bandwagon. Not only did they make a super cute USB drive, they made the cutest one EVER!!!!!! A mini Fendi Baguette bag! 
Needless to say they were literally GONE within weeks of release…. until now- well sort of. There is an ACTIVE listing on Ebay for one of these cuties right now, so if you were desperate for one of these a looooong time ago now is your chance to get your hands on one- that is of course if you outbid the rest of the world. Don’t shoot the messenger here I’m just trying to help my fellow Fendi lovers out! I know there’s only one available, but hey the odds are way better than winning the Lotto! Bid HERE and hurry because the listing ends in 3 days.
As you all know, I love a great handbag! Handbags complete your look and carry your “life” around for you! What more can a woman want? Once in a while a handbag comes around that has quality construction and is accessible to most budgets! Handbag designer Joy Gryson’s line IIIBeca is exactly that! Not a single bag in the collection is over $200- talk about accessible! I might be going out on a limb here when I say this, but these bags can hang with Hermès and Valextra creations in my opinion! ( Go ahead….google Valextra bags right now) The craftsmanship is impeccable and the clean, classic silhouettes are timeless! You will own these bags for a loooooong time! Ok~ now onto my other delightful piece of information about this collection…….. 3% of the proceeds go to three different NYC charities chosen by Gryson herself for a total of 9% being donated from the sale of each bag! How cool is that?
Below are my favorite styles in the collection.
Beach Street cosmetics case $78
Bags available at Joy Gryson, Nordstrom and Bloomingdales.
What are the “it” colors for 2013????? I can’t choose just one! The two colors that I won’t be able to live without are Emerald and Lilac!!!! So many of my favorite fashion moments have included at least one of these colors , if not both! Emerald has always been a go to color in my wardrobe but I’m really making room for lilac this year and am very excited about it. If you’re not big into color you can start by adding a shoe or clutch to your outfit or adding these colors into your makeup regimen. If you love color, go crazy with it- The more the merrier!
Some colorful inspiration…..
Hello fashionistas:) I’m back with my weekly Instagram roundup! Check out more on Instagram @ yourstylejourney. Cheers!
Hey guys, I hope you’re doing amazing today. As you all know I did a post on the Alexander Wang Rocco bag with rose gold hardware in early October……I must admit, I quickly became obsessed!!!! I ended up caving after about 2 weeks (the fastest I have caved for any handbag) and treated myself to the bag. Needless to say I LOVE IT and have been wanting to do a review on it and have gotten quite a few requests to do so as well….soooooo today while shooting some pictures for my OOTD on Instagram I took a couple extra shots of the bag to share with you and wanted to talk about a couple of things that I’ve noticed are missing from a lot of other Rocco reviews.
*The bag is beautiful OBVIOUSLY! * I love the top handles in addition to a shoulder strap although it’s NOT long enough for cross body wear. * I love the pebbled leather * I love love love the rose gold hardware, matches a lot of my jewelry, namely my wedding set:) * the rose gold is a very nice tone, not the overpowering ultra cheesy pink shade that some rose gold hardware can have. * heavy-duty and very well made bag* the trademark studded bottom is very cool without being too crazy * the bag has the feel of the LV Speedy with a little more edge
NOW onto the 2 most important points…
1.CON: This bag is HEAVY! I’m talking 4 pounds!!!! EMPTY! I personally don’t mind it but I know some of you might.
2. PRO: This bag has 2 “secret” pockets outside of the bag……I use one for keys, one for phone & lipstick. I like accessing my phone, keys etc without having to dig around the bottom of the bag.
There you have it…..overall my only con is the weight of the bag, everything else wonderful!!!!!! If you’re on the fence about this bag…..I say go for it! It will be in your collection for decades to come!
A closer look at the bag….(Retails for $1,000)
Ariat, yes you read that right- the riding boot brand now makes bags!!!!
I love the color blocking and equestrian details on this Pelham cross-body bag in particular, gorgeous!
