MOMMA LOVES… extraordinary bags

This Alexander McQueen will always be one of my favorite extraordinary bags!

I did my fantasy footwear earlier but now it’s all about the extraordinary bags that truly take accessories out of their preverbal boxes. These are the completely out there, statement pieces that transform your basics into wows style moments. These extraordinary bags hold your favorite lipstick (one of them even comes with lipstick) and all the bits and pieces your need but they are also a great talking point and fashionista favorite. For those Sex and the City fans, one of my favorite Carrie style moments was when Big gave her the the Judith Leiber swan clutch – while seemingly bizarre it was so crazy that it worked in all the right ways. So check out my favorite extraordinary bags and think about what’s missing from your wardrobe – it’s not always obvious…

MOMMA LOVES… little black bags

The perfect little black bag never goes out of style.

Your little black dress (and really everything in your wardrobe) could always use some little black bags to go with your look. I’m a huge fan of using colorful accessories to pop your look, but there is always, ALWAYS room in every wardrobe for the basics. These black bags don’t necessarily need to be little – it’s just the idea of a simple accessory that goes everywhere and never goes out of style. These are the accessories that will, time and time again, be your go-to. These are the little bags that take you from the school run, to the office to date night without ever looking wrong. They are classic accessories that may nod to a particular trend but the neutral color way keeps it from looking dated (and it also helps hide wear and tear). So, check out my favorite little black bags to suit all your wardrobe needs with style and endurance.

MOMMA LOVES… leopard print bags and shoes

Welcome to the jungle – leopard prints rule the accessory kingdom!

Popping your outfit with great leopard print bags and shoes is always a good idea. Maybe not at the same time, but these accessories are the perfect addition to any wardrobe. I always say to play up classic outfit with a more wild accessory and leopard print bags and shoes give you exactly this. Think a simple pair of jeans and white t-shirt or little black dress the addition of a little animal print. The look goes immediately from lifeless to spectacular by styling it with great leopard print bags and shoes. I know a lot of people get anxious when it comes to incorporating prints into their look, which is why accessories are the perfect avenue to go – remember, keep the rest of the look simple and then wow them with the great animal patterns. So, check out my favorite leopard print bags and shoes and pop your outfit with some wow factor.

MOMMA LOVES… shrunken bags syndrome

For reals Max, I’m totally feeling the Gucci shrunken bag…

It’s the super hot accessory trend I call shrunken bags – miniature versions of the accessories we know and love. These are perfect for when you don’t feel like carrying around everything but the kitchen sink… They’re very small – almost clutch size bags that are often cross body and transition perfectly from day to night. I have to say, it’s silly, but I hate carrying my huge day bag to the restaurant so having these shrunken bags are a great option! They’re the same great trends that we adore in our daytime accessories but without the weight – just carry some money, credit cards, a lipstick and your phone and really, that’s all you need! Check out my favorite shrunken bags of the moment and say good bye to the carry all for day and hello to these little babies!

MOMMA WANTS… colorful bags (to pop my look)

This is from a shoot I style years ago and it resonates with me even more today – the take away is that I feel like I’m constantly cleaning up after my little guy – but there’s no reason I shouldn’t look fabulous with a great colorful bag!

People tend to gravitate towards black but I have always been a huge fan of colorful bags – if you’re going to accessorize you may as well make a statement, right? I live in neutrals – jeans and t-shirts, little black dresses, tons of basics so bags and shoes are often the pop in my outfit. Great colorful bags are a perfect way to add a spark to your look no matter what your style, age or size – they are the greatest common denominator among women. You have the rest of your life to get a black bag – go for something bright and strong. There are a million things in our lives to be practical so buy the colorful bags and take a walk on the wild side. Choose your favorite color and add a pop to your wardrobe with a fabulous accessory! Check out my favorite colorful bags and have fun with your look!
