Canvas and Leather: Better Together

Loving the light and breezy sense of a canvas bag for warmer weather but can't let go of the luxuriousness of leather? The kind of tough choices a girl have to face!! Well, why choose one when you can have a little of both. Canvas and leather mixed together is not a new concept, but it's definitely the new must-have this season.... They are presented in a lot of designers Spring/Summer collections this year. If you think canvas is usually on the casual side, than check out these new bags. They are classy and sassy, and it's one of the easiest way to add a little twist to upgrade your look this season!! 

<Stella McCartney, Fold Over Canvas and Faux-Leather Bag> 

Instead of using real leather, Stella McCartney uses faux leather on the trim for the bag.  How can you say no to fashion that's also animal friendly?

 <Rebecca Minkoff, Morning After Mini Bag>

Light linen-canvas against patent-leather trim creates a great contrast for this handbag... it also adds a little retro effect to the hangbag... this is going on to my lust list!!

 <J.W.Hulme Co. Legacy Shoulder Bag >

A perfect weekend bag!! It can be paired with either jeans and t-shirts or a sundress. Simple and classy... I don't think this cute little bag will ever go out of fashion!

 <Foley + Corinna, Canvas and Leather Mid City Tote> 

Foley + Corinna's City Tote is one of my favorite handbags of all time. It's simple yet versatile. I want them in every size and every color.

 <Cynthia Rowley, Constant Clutch> 

This is so not your regular black clutch. Don't be fooled by the color. It doesn't have the two-toned contrast, but it's still has the mix of canvas and leather... and THAT'S what makes it so special!!   

<Alexander Wang, Small Emile Tote>

A beautiful grunge rock bag. Good for work and casual outings... without looking like everyone else. 

There, canvas and leather, they're better together!!

Few Little Things....

<Vibrant spring colors!!

I can't believe it's been a little bit more than a month since my last post!! Looking back, last month was a month filled with intensive school work, endless networking events, a little bit of spring cleaning, and two mini vacations. I was having a hard time catching up on life in general. 
Before you know it, it's already May, Spring is coming to an end, I can't help but feeling a bit sentimental how time has passed so fast, but I'm also feeling very excited that Summer is right around the corner! I can't wait for some fun in the sun... snow cones, street fairs, concerts in the parks, and all the summery outdoor festivities the city has to offer. Before all that begins, here are the few little things that makes me happy in my life.... 

<A fresh and fluffy loaf of homemade bread.... Well, I didn't make it, somebody else took care of the "homemade" party, but it's as delicious!!  >

 <A nicely groomed Migo...  mastering her innocent puppy look!! All clean-shaved and ready for the warmer season to come!! > 

<Cheese and meat plate, chilled wine, good conversations, good friends.... life is so good!!>

< A script my agent sent me for a new pilot... makes me feel like s super star!!> 

Hope you're all having a wonderful weekend. 

And Happy Mother's Day to all mothers in the world!!
