Brighten Up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looking for a way to liven up your accessories wardrobe???? Try a Bright Colored Handbag!!!!! The eighties wont die!!! Bright colors are one of the many fashion trends for the Sp/Su 08 collections! Neon pinks to subtle lavenders! It is a sure sign that Spring Cometh!!!! I'm loving orange and yellow hues of handbags and shoes, but for now we will just focus on the handbag! Fuchsia's and Yellow's can add just the right amount of volume to a black dress or skirt for a night time look! Aqua's and Orange go great with safari tan's and summer whites! Leather bags are great, just be careful of what you pair the bright color with, as sometimes they have a tendency to fade! You cant go wrong with patent leather and canvas and this trend is sure to carry you right on in to Fall with a Bang!!!! So go ahead and do something Bright!!! Add a bright handbag to your life!!! Your outfit will appreciate it!!!! Here are some looks to get you started:

Six more weeks of winter, according to dear ole Mr. Groundhog! Well, Spring cometh and why not bring it in a little sooner. How? Add a pop of Yellow to your blossoming wardrobe!!!!! With multiple shades to choose from, ranging from neon to marigold, to golden rays of sun. Whatever your preference, there is sure to be a shade just for you! Yellow is one of the best colors for the upcoming Spring fashion season. It's perfect for a resort getaway or a spring graduation. And it is a great transition color too!!! Pair bright, bold, beautiful yellows with navy, purples, and browns to finish out the winter! Then add it to whites, tans, and other bright hues for spring, right into summer!!! You can't go wrong! It is one of my favorite shades and always brings a smile to a dreary, winter's day!!!! Here are some looks Im loving! And remember, you can always layer your looks until the weather "mellows-out" a bit!!! Check out what I found!
