We think Vanessa Hudgens is adorable and she was spotted looking très chic in Paris last month carrying her Patricia Nash Barcelona Saddle Bag.

While Whitney Port carried the same bag in ombre last summer looking like a fashion forward hipster. We love the casual jeans, cool bag, and soft sweater. And not to mention those sweet shades!


Their looks are so perfect for any girl who covets their boho-chic style and we certainly do! This bag is so sweet and perfect. The bag is only $198 and available now from
macys.com, proving that not even celebs wear premium designers from head-to-toe! And, with Spring finally here, the rich tan color makes the bag the perfect accessory to transition through the seasons.
To purchase this bag visit- Macys.com and my question is? Who wore it best? Our vote’s with Whitney this time since Vanessa is wearing fur and fake or not I can’t stand fur.

Miche has a new spring collection out and it is called “Sweet Temptations”. I think that the name is 100% appropriate considering that it is taking all of my will power not to buy every single shell that they have created!\

If you aren’t familiar with Miche, then here is a quick refresh for ya! Miche Bags are interchangeable, affordable, handbags. They sale several base bags that you can buy as well as a multitude of adorable shells. Miche bag are literally the only bag that you will ever need! When you want a new look just change the shell!

If reading that isn’t making you drool then I don’t know what will. Miche’s products never disappoint and I am thrilled with their spring collection! They sent me the Ivy and the Summer shells to review and I am in l.o.v.e with them both.
The Ivy reminds me of a almost gothic print which I love and adore. It’s quite festive and fun. This bag screams spring and I love the roses. They add just the right rocker chic look in my mind.
Summer is a yellow snakeskin patter shell that is bold and on fire! It is my favorite of the two and it also screams SPRING IS HERE! It adds color to any outfit and I am so happy with it.
Like everything else Miche creates these are both well made and sturdy enough to hold all my junk. I love both of the shells, but the yellow wins for me simply because it is yellow. And who can resist a yellow handbag?
I love companies that give back and Miche is doing just that by funding school’s in Africa. You can donate to this great cause here. We have so much so why not give back a little?
Be sure to check out the rest of the Sweet Tempations collection at www.michebag.com and be sure to let me know what shell is 100% you!!
*Sponsored, but my opinions are 100% honest and true! How could I lie about such an awesome company?

Ok ladies! I decided to try something new. Outfit of the week! Well, sort of. I’ll post outfit ideas when I get a chance and share with you how you can re-create them!

Today’s features my white denim jacket from Old Navy. It’s the star of this show and adds a bit of edge to the outfit. I literally threw this outfit together in seconds.
My favorite part? The jacket hides any flaws. You can easily hide any of your “flaws” with a great jacket or blazer. Plus the jacket/blazer look is really at the moment.

I was in a hurry so I just grabbed my go-to brown handbag. It’s adorable and even if it doesn’t go 100% with the outfit, I still love it. Besides who said that everything had to be matchy-matchy anyways???? It’s good to break some fashion rules!
Of course if you know me I always add my own personal flair. And since I’m also a lover of boho items I added my favorite necklace made from recycled beads and fibers. Cute right?

And for my shoes I grabbed my oh-so comfortable heels from Rockport. These bad boys are amazing. If you are looking for a cute pair of heels that are super comfy then you have to buy these! They have around a 1-2″ heel so my 5″7 frame looks around 5″8.
Ignore any flaws please! Nobody’s perfect! (cue Jessie J!)
I have no clue what that streak of white is on my sweater. It must be my camera because that’s not on my sweater!!
And the jacket really isn’t crooked. I was pulling on it from the one side….. Oooh, that picture is making me want to pull it and straighten it. Grr……:P
What I wore-
Aeropostale Sweater (thrifted for $2)
Old Navy White Denim Jacket (thrifted for under $10)
See Thru Soul Jeans (Macy’s)
Necklace from FiveAccessories.com
Purse from mark
Heels from Rockport
My nails which badly need to be redone Zoya’s Shay
Happy New Year!!!

I am officially in love with Miche Bag. Of course I love all cute bags, but the Miche Bag ROCKS. These bags are so fashionable and function-able.
I’m a girl who loves handbags in all different colors! Thanks to Miche Bags however you can get all the different colored handbags with one bag. How? Because Miche uses an interchangeable purse that you can transform to match your outfit with a simple shell. Or, you can change the shell to match your mood, setting, or the season!
Miche sells several different base bags and then TONS of shells. This concept is so cool because you can get several different handbags for less.

I had a chance to review The Demi Base Bag and two of their newer shells. The Sharon and Reyna shells.
All three of these products are incredible. The colors of the shells are amazing and I love how you can go from day to night within minutes. It’s so easy to switch the shells and you can do it under a minute!
To change your shell you simply release the magnets that hold the shell in place and pull out your base bag. Then, place your base bag into a new shell. Yep! It’s THAT simple! You don’t have to spend a ton of time switching your bag to a new one, you can just switch the shell in a matter of minutes. My favorite part is, is that you can’t tell that the bags are two separate pieces. The bags are so beautiful and everyone that has seen my Miche Bag LOVES it!

The quality of the Miche Bag is amazing! I cannot believe how well made these bags are. They are built to last and look amazing.
Be sure to check out all of Miche Bag’s great products!
