One of the big handbag trends for the past several seasons has been the drawstring handbag. For spring 2015, designers have gone full steam ahead and created several versions of the drawstring handbag and bucket bag for the warm weather season. This is definitely the “IT” handbag style of the spring 2015 season; as well as the summer 2015 season.

Drawstring bags began to gain popularity when Mansur Gavriel introduced their simple version a few seasons ago. The drawstring bucket bag designed by Mansur Gavriel was moderately priced and came in a variety of colors with contrasting interiors. The handbag was so popular that it sold out within minutes of being introduced. This led to the current craze. As Fashionistas and handbag lovers everywhere went crazy trying to get their hands on a Mansur Gavriel bucket bag, other designers saw the trend and capitalized on it by introducing their own versions of this classic, casual handbag style.

Now that spring 2015 is here, designers and handbag brands have launched varieties of drawstring bags and buckets bags for the warm weather season. Drawstring bucket bags can be found in solid colors, vegan fabrications, bi-color styles and quilted. Designers are also showing drawstring bucket bags both in minimalist styles and embellished styles. There is definitely a style for everyone when it comes to bucket bags this season!

Since drawstring bags are casual in nature, this is an easy handbag trend to get behind for the spring 2015 season. You will find yourself reaching for this handbag almost everyday. Bucket bags are also roomy, which allows you carry everything you need, and more!

I found a few fabulous drawstring bags and buckets bags around the web and assembled them into the shopping widget below. I hope you love them ! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉


Perforated leather for spring 2015

Perforated leather has a been a runway trend for the past few seasons. As some designers channel 1980’s and early 1990’s looks, perforated leather has made appearance on runways in New York, Milan, Paris and London. For spring 2015, designers have taken the trend and moved forward with it as trend setters on the street have demanded more of the retro style.

Perforated leather gives off a very 1980’s Pop vibe when shown on skirts, jackets, vests, pants and shirts. When shown on handbags and shoes, perforated leather offers a fresh and modern take on warm weather fashion. Although clothing and accessories in perforated leather come from the same designer’s studios, they offer different vibe’s. 

When wearing perforated leather this spring season, pick one perforated piece and style your look around it. If you wear two or more perforated pieces at the same time, it will be a fashion fail. Don’t want that do we!!! Yikes!

Which vibe are you? Are you into the 1908’s Pop look or are you going for more of a fresh and modern look this upcoming spring 2015 season? When you answer that question, you will know which type of perforated leather piece to shop for this spring season. Personally, I already did the 1980’s Pop look in the 1980’s, so I will be going for a more modern look with perforated shoes. I just need to choose the perfect pair!

I found a few fabulous perforated leather pieces around the web for spring 2015. These pieces are beautiful and perfectly on-trend for spring. I hope you love them!
