Black and White Handbags for Spring 2016

Here’s a hint: you can see it on a dalmatian and spot it on a tv that has no signal… Yep thats right, the classic colors of black and white are must have for your handbag(s) this spring!

Bucket Bag

The bucket bag has a unique but appealing shape. It has impeccable structure and versatility. A black or white bucket bag adds a flair to its utilitarian style. It is a must have bag that you can take casually to the beach or formally to a dinner party. 

Fringe Crossbody

Sometimes, we just want a handbag that is handsfree; there is no stress, just play. Classic white on fringe is major this spring season. Sometimes black on fringe blends in too much and doesn’t capture the beautiful, natural movement of the fabric. White changes the game and creates a clean, modern look that updates last seasons spring bags.

Athleisure Accessory Trends 2016 

Working out is not just a hobby, it’s a lifestyle. Today, Americans are dominating healthy lifestyle choices in their activities, food, clothes, and best of all, accessories. Athleisure is the casual trend that supports loungewear into everyday clothing. Adding accessories to outfits allows you to go place to place without looking like you just exercised.

Here are the top 5 athleisure accessory trends to try for spring 2016:

Chic Hatter

For a more athletic appeal, try Nike’s dry fit running hats in vibrant colors such as fuchsia, teal, and white. For a more fashion-forward look, hats made of leather or suede can disguise the gym look and create a chic street appeal. You can find trendy leather and suede hats at retailers like ASOS and Nordstrom.

Golden Beats

Beats Solo2 Wireless Headphones are a great investment if you prefer wireless headphones. All you have to do is connect your phone via Bluetooth and your music will stream handsfree. If you are on a budget, you can find other gold headphones at Urban Outfitters and Nasty Gal.
