Summer is fast approaching and this means Fashionistas everywhere will be on the go for the warm weather season. When you are on the go, the last thing you want to fiddle with is a clunky handbag! This means the best option for hitting amusement parks, county fairs, local zoos and more is the cross body handbag.

Cross body handbags come is many shapes and sizes according to what you need. If you need to carry a water bottle, snacks for the kids and more, then a large cross body bag is the way to go. If all you need is cash, credit cards, keys and your mobile device, then you can get away with a small and petite cross body bag. If you are planning a vacation and need the ease of a cross body bag for daytime yet the sophistication of a clutch for evening, then a convertible cross body is the best option.

The cross body bag has gained in popularity over the past few seasons and is showing no sign of slowing down. This versatile handbag style can be spotted every season on both the runways and the street. Look for a fun color to add pop to a neutral outfit or sass to an already color filled ensemble. For more practical use, opt for a neutral color such as black, brown or cream. (Hint) A neutral cross body bag will be easy to use for traveling and offers cross-season appeal.

One of the fabulous things about spring is watching the flowers bloom and butterflies dance around them. It is always a beautiful bouquet of color which takes us back to “Tinkerbelle” movies and fairy tale fantasy lands. Well, for spring 2013, Twisted Silver has created a grown up way to keep the fairy tale close to our hearts; the Bay Area jeweler has created the “Wonderland” bracelet.

The “Wonderland” bracelet is made from edgy and chic brass which will age over time; creating a greenish, earthy look. The edgy brass bracelet features a beautiful butterfly floating over a meadow of leaves and flowers. Love that!

Twisted Silver’s “Wonderland” bracelet is a statement piece which works perfectly with spring’s floral trend as well as any print imaginable. The “Wonderland” bracelet also blends perfectly with pastels, bright colors and neon hues.

This kitschy bracelet is easy to wear with spring’s hottest trends. The “Wonderland” bracelet can easily be dressed up and paired with an A-line dress; or “fit-and-flare” dress as many retailers are referring to the style. Twisted Silver’s new bracelet can also be dressed down and paired with jeans, shorts and maxi skirts. Love that!
