The groundhog said there will be 6 more weeks of winter. Considering how unseasonably warm it has been this winter, I suppose I can live with that. With the weather being so Spring-like, I already have summer on the brain. It seems like others do too, considering all the beach totes I’ve seen popping up recently. I’m thinking this year, I might go for a little less traditional beach tote. Instead of structured and straw, I was thinking unstructured and crochet! Check out the Stela 9 Zigzag Crochet Beach Bag!
Have you ever bought something at a random store and looked at the plastic bag they put your purchase in? It’s usually blank, has a smiley face on it or just simply says, “Thank You”. I see them often when I go to a family owned business or the market. They’re the kind of bags no one pays attention to I guess. I never did until I saw what Cast of Vices designed for us.
There’s something more than the colorful canvas, theme, and easy to wear designs by Anya Hindmarch totes that catch my attention. It’s the simple wit that her pieces carry that allows her totes to stand out above your average designer canvas accessory. You won’t find fancy leathers or exotic furs on this piece, but an eye-catching statement that’ll get the general public smirking. The latest two to the Hindmarch collection are the Penny and Inspire Totes.
Did you know that Yves Saint Laurent has a bag made out of recycled goods? But not just any bag, the Muse Two. Yves Saint Laurent has partnered up with female artisans in Burkina Faso to produce the ‘Muse Two Artisanal Recycled’ bag, a hand-crafted masterpiece made out of recycled plastic bags and fair-trade cotton.

Every year it seems like we have a trend that comes out of no where. I remember scratching my head when I saw the whole neon trend but then I also remember drooling when I first took a glimpse of the stud trend. Trends come out constantly, they blow up and it seems they fizzle away after awhile.
Is it just me, or does it seem like “tie-dye” is trying to become a new trend? When I think of tie-dye the 70’s comes straight to my head. You know the whole rainbow tie-dye that was so tacky but yet so huge back then?
MATT & NATT have brought us the “Narita” Bag in tie-dye and I have to say, I kind of like it. I’m into the whole black, gray and white colors on a bag now because they compliment my wardrobe well, so in other words this bag would look amazing in my closet. Yes it’s tie-dye, but it’s tastefully done and doesn’t look too overbearing like the neon colors did in the 70’s. If this purse was made in the neon tie-dye colors I’d probably scream and would want to burn it.
