Totally unique handbags for spring

After working on an article for another site that I write for, I decided that I totally needed to share these fabulous handbags with all of the lovely ladies on the PS Beauty Blog. And, let me just say they are even more fabulous in person than they look in the photos. Each one is so unique, I promise you've never seen anything like them. These bags also make really awesome gifts for the special people in your life that always have their eyes open for the next fab bag.

The First Date handbag

The First Date handbag from Jump from Paper is definitely one of the coolest handbags ever. I really believe this cartoon-like handbag is an absolute must-have for ladies with a fun personality and a love for handbags. It has beautiful, vibrant colors and bold cartoon outlines, which create nostalgia for childhood, while creating a fun, playful look with your spring fashion. This bag has plenty of room and will fit an iPad, books, and daily necessities. $89, www.jumpfrompaper.com

The Sophie handbag

The Sophie handbag from Darlington Originals is fun, yet sophisticated. She is small and measures about 6-inches across and only 1 1/2-inches deep, so she is perfect for those dressier occasions. Sophie is made of leather in your choice of colors,  and features darling ruffle accents with an extra long strap so it can be worn on the shoulder or cross-body, how ever you prefer. The Sophie is fully customizable with over 40 leathers, lambskin, and suede, plus 47 interior fabrics, and gold or silver hardware to choose from. $159, www.darlingtonoriginals.com

The Utility Tote

The Utility Tote bag from First World Trash is such an awesome idea. First World Trash is known for their products made out of reclaimed materials from junkyards and salvage yards. A lot of their products are made from billboards and seat belts from vehicles which all have their own unique colors and characteristics. You may be thinking, “eww” and yes, it’s all reclaimed but it has been thoroughly washed and polished and is ready to begin its new life. These products are also water proof, tear proof, and are totally built to last. The Utility tote has 10 outer slots,  2” seat belt strap handles and a zipper closure to protect your belongings. $75, www.firstworldtrash.com 


Disclosure: I was not paid to publish this post. I did receive each of the bags mentioned to facilitate my reviews, however I was not required to post a positive review, or any review at all. All opinions in this post are honest and are my own.

Groovy Fall Trends: Disco Fever is Stayin' Alive

Stay warm, stay stylish and have a little bit of fun this fall.

Disco Fever is back

When I first heard the Disco Fever trend was back in style I was thrilled. I know some of you are probably cringing, lol but I have always loved the style. I still have a few pieces from the 60s and 70s that belonged to my mother. I think the trend is just fab because it was from an era that where people promoted happiness, peace and love. And because of that, it will always have special nostalgic memories. What better way to keep those groovy memories alive, than with some fabulous fashion pieces.

One of my fave places to shop for trendy designer pieces is Stylebop.com. So, when I got their new promo in my email I was thrilled.  

They have such a fab selection of trendy apparel, shoes, bags, lingerie and even beauty items. I love shopping on Stylebop.com because they carry really unique trendy pieces from some of my absolute favorite designers like Valentino, Dolce & Gabanna, MCQ Alexander McQueen, Michael Kors, Casedi, Myla and Giuseppe Zannoti. Plus, if something doesn't fit, they are fabulous about taking items back- which is a must for me with online shopping.

This season at Stylebop.com, they have a bunch of fab pieces that go perfect with the "bad girl/pinup vixen" trend for fall. Think corsets, boots, tight leather and metal hardware--and just a little lace to soften things up a bit. It's FAB!

These were a few of the pieces I absolutely had to have to get my fall wardrobe ready for the season. They are smokin' hot and totally perfect for the "bad girl/pinup vixen" trend. 

My absolute favorite of all of them are these

I love these because they are super versatile--you can wear them with everything! 

Wear them dressy or wear them sexy--they will be fab for seasons to come.

And this top, was an absolute must-have!

from Valentino, the Black Lace/Bow Detail Top

Isn't it FAB? So sheer, soft and feminine.

Wear it with a pencil skirt, flared pants or even a cute pair of fitted jeans.

  

And this cute little Valentino Patent Leather Bag is The perfect accessory.
