    Embrace the '90s With A Drawstring Bag!

    Ever since Alexander Wang came out with his handbag line, the too-cool totes have been seen on celebs from Mary-Kate Olsen to Kristin Cavallari, blogged about to death, and coveted by yours truly. One of my favorites was the 'Diego' bag-- a drawstring bucket bag that would have been perfect with any outfit! Alas, it's been long sold out everywhere so I've been on the hunt ever since. Drawstring bags always remind me of the purses my mother had in the 90s, so while their modern cousins have retro roots, they're totally current and fashion-forward. Drawstring closures are handy when you need to pack a whole day's worth of stuff without jamming a zipper. Best of all, they come in all different styles from totes to hobo bags! I've been eyeing the Classic Parina Bag by Gustto in bright yellow. Urban Outfitters offers an affordable alternative to the famed Alexander Wang bag with the Deux Lux Drawstring Bucket Bag. Check out my slideshow for more drawstring bags!

    Elle's Fall A To Zee Trends: Jewel-Encrusted Clutches

    Have you been hesitant to purchase that drop-dead gorgeous evening bag you've been eyeing because you've already resigned yourself to the fact that you'll only use it twice a year? Perhaps you need to go out more. Just kidding! The name "evening bag" is deceiving- trust me when I say it is completely acceptable to rock them by day! It all depends on what else you plan on wearing. Basic tees and jeans beg to be paired with jeweled evening bags and clutches, and the contrast created by the mix of basic with bedazzled will definitely get you noticed. Gustto's metallic leather jeweled clutch is large enough to hold your everyday things, and transitions beautifully from day to night. Modern meets organic in Devi Kroell's wood and crystal clutch, perfect for an elegant brunch or early affair. And don't think you have to break the bank to get your hands on a clutch that's worth all of your time- there are plenty of cool jeweled clutches for under $100. Whichever you choose, just know your rings will be jealous when you pick up your new bag! Go to Elle's Fall A to Zee Trends to see Joe Zee's picks, and check out the slideshow for even more crystal and gemstone-encrusted clutches.

    A laptop is a big investment for anyone, but for fashionistas, it's an even bigger one because it requires another investment- a bag to keep it in! Oh, but any old laptop bag just won't do! Luckily there are plenty of handbags out there to fit your laptop and your lifestyle, and fortunately, not all of them cost as much as the laptop itself. My mac is perfectly happy in its Kate Spade tote, but if I were to surprise it with a new home, it would surely be Belen Echandia's 'take me anywhere' bag. Click on over to Bagtrends to see more laptop-friendly options!

    Bag of the Week: Gustto's Costella Tote - And It's On Sale!

    One of the beauties of having fall merchandise arrive at major department stores €“ and now even small boutiques €“ in early June is that spring/summer merchandise, which you can actually enjoy now, goes on sale! Case in point-- this white Gustto 'Costella' tote with chunky gold hardware and gem accents. I haven't seen hardware like this in about three years or so and it's going to come back in a big way. Think Balenciaga, think lots of grommets but done with a more refined touch. As for this bag, it makes for an ideal summer work option €“ generous strap width for comfort, the long lean shape that's a must now and an easy to use top-zip opening.

    When it comes to style, a little devil-may-care attitude goes a long way, and this season is asking you to throw caution to the wind. Boho-cool is back and it's brighter than ever in groovy prints and daring ombré. The peasant top is a must-have and so chic paired with short shorts, and billowy silhouettes are making getting dressed a breeze. No bohemian trend would be complete without a little crochet, and it's showing up on dresses and tops, shoes and handbags. It's chic for the free-spirited, and it's so hot for spring. Find your Bohemian Cool right now, at Shopbop!
