The green bag on the left is a Balenciaga Handbag Mini Anis (Baby Green) Balenciaga bag, the hottest handbag of the world! Soft high quality leather all around the handbag gives it a fashion look. Double 9″ handle with 17.5″ strap serve 2 carrying purposes. The zippered top closure secures all personal belonging inside. High quality black fabric interior consists of one zippered pocket. Extra zipper pocket is on the front of the bag. Accented with gun-metal hardware. A controllato card and cosmetic mirror included. Made in Italy, you can purchase this little beauty at the eDesignerShop not for the retail price of $825 but for the great deal of $329.

The bags on the right are a great a great alternative for those of us that can’t quite swing the hundreds for a purse. They have the same fun feel and you can get it for $40 but on sale now for just $24 at Fashion Bug! At that price you can get a couple in different colors to match every outfit!

No matter what you can afford, these great purses add flavor and fun to any outfit. I find that I used to carry just one purse all the time. When I started using small bags to hold all the crazy items I carry in my purses it became much easier to transfer stuff into another purse quickly. No matter the amount of money in your wallet there are great deals out there. Enjoy the colors of spring and a little colorful flower on your arm.

Hugs, Hope

Spring Casuals

This is a great easy going look for spring. Don’t get stuck on the color if red isn’t your thing. The idea is a happy bright top to make you feel good. Ity can be a fun print like a floral if that is what makes you happy. The empire waist is the feature to look for when you are shopping. It is complimentary to most any body type and helps to draw your eye in to our smallest part of the torso. The sleeves cover a good part of the shoulders and upper arms so comfortable and the neckline has a nice V to bring your eye down the center while not being too revealing.

Capri jeans area must in every womans wardrobe. They can be dressed up or down by just changing your shoes to a more fancy heel and adding some fun jewelry. I love these espadrilles in the same bright color as the top. The colors bring your eyes down the body and make the viewer pop to the feet. Big hips and thighs fade to the background with this outfit. The wedge shoe is amazingly stable and the heel adds length to your legs making a more eye appealing proportions. I know I adore them and that slight angle improves your posture. You can’t lose. A great versitile look for spring!

Okay ladies, do you watch The Biggest Loser tv show? This is my second season to watch and I love it. Why write about it in a fashion site? Well, tonight was the makeover show. I loved how the contestants all shined in a more updated look. Let’s face it, anything is going to look better than baggy T-shirts and sweats. lol
The producers brought in style guru Tim Gunn to help teach the guys and girls how to create and select clothes to enhance their body types as well as give them a new look. He had the greatest tip on one of the breaks. Tim Gunn says to enhance any figure select dresses and tops that have shoulder covering sleeves that extend over the tops of your shoulders and upper arms and a neckline that shows off your collar bones. it should then dip in a V of some sort. The depth of the V depends on your tastes. I thought that was great and so many of the styles out fo the spring really show that off. I was browsing one of my favorite sites and found some good examples. The pretty patterned areas mixed with the solid sections of this seasons dresses I think really compliment real womens figures as well.
