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
5. BCBGMAXAZRIA Harlow Envelope Clutch sold @ Dillard's
6. BCBGeneration Rayna Envelope Clutch sold @ Zappos

Piperlime & Spring Sandals

1. Hive & Honey Multi Chain and Beaded Necklace sold @ Piperlime ($34)
2. Pim + Larkin Cabachon Bauble Bracelet sold @ Piperlime ($34)
3. Melie Bianco Alyssa Handbag sold @ Piperlime ($99)
4. Jessica Simpson Jessie Sandal sold @ Piperlime ($89)
5. Tinley Road Long Sleeve Ponte Body Con Dress sold @ Piperlime ($69)

This yellow/green color has been a big trend recently, and when I saw this dress and these fun spring sandals, I thought I would style an outfit around them. It ended up that I found all the items at Piperlime. I love this store - it offers free shipping both ways, which means I can try things out without the expense of shipping. I also love Piperlime's selection - they have budget-friendly to investment price ranges. Today's look all happens to be styled with pieces that are under $100. Enjoy! Happy Wednesday!

It's Monday - hope you had a great weekend! Today, I thought I would share a few items that I have purchased recently. I do the majority of my shopping online and for the most part, I usually only buy items that are on sale. Right now is a good time to find great deals, since stores are trying to move out their winter merchandise to make room for the new spring and summer collections.

NOTE: The NARS lipstick was not on sale, and usually I buy CoverGirl lipstick (for like $9) but I have seen other bloggers talk about NARS lipstick and how great it is, so I thought I would give it a try. So far, I love the color (Afghan Red); however, it is a little dry and the color builds up, if I re-apply, so I am not sure about this.
