Sunflowers and Sundresses: Attached at the hip

Sunflowers and Sundresses: Attached at the hip

We lug our bulky backpacks around all week, so when the weekend comes it is the best feeling to carry an adorable accessory on the weekends. Purses and bags might as well be my legs; I can’t leave the house without one. Recently, I dove into the obsession stage of purses. Spring has brought with it some fun new bag trends. Spring has officially arrived and it is bringing new bag trends with it.

Bucket Bags are a fun take on the boho vibe. Affectionately named, the bucket bag is just what you would imagine it to be. It is just a tiny little pouch with a cross body strap. It’s perfect for the girl that just wants to throw all of her things (like me) in a bag and call it good. This one is from Kendall and Kylie Jenner’s line for Madden Girl, it’s positively adorable.

If you are going to a more formal event, or want to avoid those pesky purse straps, clutches are the go to. Clutches are everywhere now, and the bigger the better. This trend paired with the bright yet matte colors of spring, is  perfect.  The bigger, the better, and you will be able to pack more things in it (like the thousands of lip glosses we all tend to carry with us). I am in love with the unique shape of this one from Asos; it would be paired beautifully with a sundress and a fun barbeque.

Backpack bags are sliding their way back into the front lines. These are perfect for the girl who tends to carry everything with her, from her makeup to an agenda. Designers seem to be rolling them out every color and pattern imaginable; it is like a positive backpack apocalypse. Target always has the most variety of choices; this one is simple and basic enough that it would match anything you threw on for the day.

The new, yet classic, Trapeze bags have emerged with a bang. These are perfect for the girl that wants to have a bag with more structure, and add the effect of being put together. Being the complete opposite of bucket bags, they are filled with straight angles and lines, often with small pops of color to keep it looking fresh. Forever 21 always puts out fun bags at affordable prices, and this one is no exception.
