Besides my boyfriend, it’s the only other thing I can’t stand to be without – my purse!

A good handbag has been my best friend for the past 23 years. Your purse can be a reflection of how you live your life, upkeep yourself, and in some cases, it may be as important as a first impression.

Most women are usually striving to look their best. From our hair, to our body, skin, and clothes, we are always dressed to impress. So why not complete the package with an insanely cute purse? It can be an important staple of your fashion statement, while serving the dual purpose of carrying around all your necessary belongings to make it through the day. Because of this, it is essential that a handbag meet both needs of the day.

This is why I have decided to dedicate myself to bringing you the most fashionable, handy handbags out there at the moment. Just like your mood and personality, purses are always changing, and so must your purse. Going along with how you’re feeling, a different day can equal a different handbag.

So with spring coming to an end and summer just around the corner, tons of designers are starting to come out with their fun, flirty, and busy designs and prints for all those women who are getting summer ready. The season just screams fun! And, that’s just what designers are doing with their handbags right now, having fun. Embracing summer and its funky colors, designers are coming out with prints, colors, and designs that will be sure to get you perked up in a second.

For this month, I bring you Marc Jacobs. As one of my favorite designers (for his innovative designs in the field of fashion), Jacobs is always pushing the envelope. Not afraid to make bold statements with his designs, we shouldn’t be afraid to wear them.
