Obvi-- Color blocking is so in for spring and it makes me so happy!! Actually, I'm just overly excited that color is probably the biggest trend of the season in general this year. Last year, I seriously felt like I was the only person in New York that had something in their wardrobe besides black. Yes, even during the dead of summer I was that girl who looked like I had just got off from working my shift at the carnival walking around Manhattan. Even if your not the type to go all out with this trend you have to at least accessorize a few pieces in your wardrobe.  You can add color with a scarf, a chunky necklace, shoes and even your handbag. I could post so many things wonderful and affordable accessories that would be great to add to your outfit, but today Im going to focus on handbags.... Because every girl has to carry one of these.  All of the bags below would work perfect if you are wanting to add another color element to a sleek colorblock look or if you are just wanting to jazz up a more neutral look for spring. Did I mention these are all under $50 too?? ... Now get to shopping!

H&M: All Bags - $24.95

Loafer Love.

With my intentions to start saving for the upcoming Missoni sale at Target, I have to admit to making one last purchase online last night so I can start with a clean slate. I normally would not confess to my bad spending but this purchase is too great not to share since I bought them for $50 on Ebay. (Ebay purchases shouldn't count anyways right?). Not to mention, I have been obsessing over these shoes for 3 weeks now! Anyways, know the brand Stubbs and Wootton and especially the loafer trend this season because I think you're going to see them everywhere in stores this fall. I would love to have a monogrammed pair so I'm thinking ill try this pair first to make sure I like the fit before I shell out 4 Benjamin Franklins. P.s.-- Please notice how well Stubbs and Wootton's marketing is done-- Their website and graphics are so freaking cute, reminds me a lot of Henri Bendel's--Five-Stars!
