One trend that was big in the fall and is still big this spring is ankle strap heels. I have yet to purchase a pair, so I shopped around and found a few options that I like. I like the high back of #1, 3 and 4, but the mesh detail on #5 or the stacked cut-out of #2 is also cool. What do you think - which one is your favorite?

Note: Both Zara and Zappos offers free shipping both ways, which makes it risk free to try them out!

When you are shopping online have you ever wondered how different pieces may go together - well, H&M has this fun "Try On" dressing room feature that does just that. That is how I created the three styled looks today. I wish every store had this feature. It is a great way to see what something looks like when shopping online. The only draw back is that sometimes I would like to see the jacket open and not zipped/buttoned up or the boyfriend jeans rolled up.

Leather, Floral, Destroyed

1. Tinley Road Colored Vegan Leather Tee sold @ Piperlime
2. Chain Flap Crossbody Bag sold @ Nordstrom
3. Rebecca Minkoff Studded Pavé Leather Bracelet sold @ Piperlime
4. Betsey Johnson Snake Hinged Bangle sold @ Piperlime
5. Nine West Ambitious Pump sold @ Zappos
6. Boyfriend Jeans in Vintage Blue sold @ Loft

Destroyed (distressed) denim, floral print, and leather are all hot trends right now, so I thought I would group them together for a look. I think the floral print does a nice job of offsetting the distressed look of the denim, and leather gives it a rocker, fun look! What do you think? Any of these trends on your wish list for spring/summer?

Some other options...

That's a Handbag

Now, that's a handbag. What do you think - could this bag fit all your stuff? Would you agree that as women, we like to pack our handbags with as much as possible. (source)

If you are up for trying something new and want to catch the wave of what is trending right now (as seen by a lot of runway street style), you might want to try the envelop clutch.

I am not sure about the envelope clutch. I like straps on my bags - to make them easier to hold and not loose; however, for special occasions, this just might work.

So, if you are looking to try the trend, here are some options...

1. Nila Anthony Colorblock Clutch sold @ Nordstrom
2. BCBGMAXAZRIA Harlow Clutch Bag sold @ Zappos
3. Danielle Nicole Sienna Envelope Clutch sold @ Nordstrom
4. Danielle Nicole Mia Clutch sold @ Piperlime

A Handbag

I am not sure about you, but my handbag is my carry-all. The bigger the bag, the better - so all my "necessary" stuff fits inside. With all my belongings crammed inside, it can make the bag miserably heavy to carry around at times... sound familiar? Well, anyway, recently, I have been looking for a new handbag (and possibly a smaller one), so I thought I would share a few finds.
