Brand Crush: Deux Lux

Sunday January 29, 2012

Lately, I've been crushing on Deux Lux, a handbag brand that makes me agree with the idea that a girl can never have enough bags. Deux Lux is known for mixing and matching faux leather with elements such as sequins and rhinestones, creating a sparkling feminine look.

My personal top pick is this Cosmic Love Small Tote in Black ($115). The multi-colored sequins spice up an otherwise plain black tote bag, while the tassel details add a trendy touch. I can see this roomy tote being put to good use on shopping trips and weekend getaways -- what's not to love?

Trendy Tuesday: Tangerine Accessories

Tuesday January 24, 2012

I'm sure we can all agree that shades of orange have made their mark in the fashion world. While coral ruled last summer, tangerine orange is the newest "it" shade of 2012. Tangerine is bright and fun, without being an actual neon color. It's great for both spring and summer, letting you get the most out of each accessory.

If you'd like to take on this hot new trend, start off with this Chain Strap Crossbody from Forever 21. For just $23, this faux leather crossbody will spice up even the most simple outfits. Wear it with neutrals, solids and bold stripes to let the color really pop. White, navy blue and turquoise will all look amazing with this gorgeous shade of orange.
