Stylehive's Stylescopes Make Sure You Have This Week In The Bag!

Let's face it -- your week is only going to go well if you're in the right mindset. And what better way to put yourself in the best mood possible than to equip yourself with a brand new bag! Pretty much any excuse for a new purse purchase is a good one in my mind: promotion at work, nothing matches your wardrobe, some extra cash lying around, a sudden change in weather -- whatever makes you feel better and helps you justify a splurge in the name of fashion (and practicality, of course). The bottom line is that your satchel, clutch, tote, or whatever the stars have in store for you, can really make or break an ensemble... and personally I'd rather break the bank than break my outfit (just kidding... sort of)! Having a hard time choosing what carry-all will carry you throughout the week most successfully and stylishly? Let the stars be your guide (and you can add "Stylescopes" to your lists of reasons for making the big purchase)! If you're a Sagittarius, you may be best suited to keep it compact yet girlie with a ruffled Betsey Johnson clutch, and Cancer girls will get to go bright and springy with a teal basket-weave shoulder bag! Check out the slideshow to see which kind of handbag you're destined to get your hands on this week!
Bag of the Week: Juicy Couture Raspberry Shoulder Bag

I never thought I'd plug a Juicy Couture handbag, but this one is worth a bagalicious stamp of approval. You bagistas really loved that Mulberry patent tote I mentioned two weeks ago, so I thought another berry offering at a more moderate price was appropriate. The yummy raspberry-hued leather is spot on for not only fall, but equally as enjoyable during the sprint and summer with whites and metallics. The thick shoulder strap width will sit snugly against your body. I only wish the bag was a pinch larger €“ just an inch-and-a-half longer and an inch wider. Otherwise, a well constructed and designed handbag from a brand that I normally would endorse for handbags. Keep it coming Juicy.
