Satchels For Spring/Summer 2012

Structured satchels were all over the runways from Phillip Lim to Céline. If you're looking to add some sophistication to your easy, breezy Spring wardrobe, try a refined, take-anywhere satchel. Whether you're into casual carryalls or chic, elegant options, the ladylike leather handbags instantly create a sense of polished style.

I'm so into structured satchels in white for spring and summer! I went all the stores to find one that I really like. The structured satchels are good with jean or maxi dress. But the white bags always get dirty easily especially when you wear it with bold color clothes or jeans. So I always got the white bag with reasonable price. I like 3.1 Phillip Lim Pashil Satchel in white ($875) and Coach Madison Gathered Leather Lindsey Satchel in silver/parchment ($598). Both look simple but doesn't look boring because of gathered leather and vertical zippers.

Also, I'm so into blue these days. I love Balenciaga Arena Classic Velo in bleu cobalt ($1545). It's a great everyday bag. What are your favorite structured satchels bags?

ZARA's April Lookbook 2012

This is what a great wardrobe is made of: Zara's April collection is steeped in chic Spring whites, tweedy jackets, crisp denim, and breezy sundresses, striking the perfect balance between seasonal must haves and closet staples. Again, the brand zeroes in on this season's key trends; we get a dose of peplum, a shot of lace, '70s flares, and printed blouses and pants all in truly wearable iterations. It's hard not to want nearly all of Zara's new goodies, especially when they look even better mixed and matched — it's really not just about the pieces, but how easily they wear together. Read on for our key takeaways, then click through for Zara's latest looks.
    •    We've already snapped up our printed pants, but these silky printed shorts are just the right version for Summer's hotter days.
    •    We can never have too many LWDs for our Spring/Summer wardrobe — this one would be easy to dress up day to night — but we think it would make the best little dress for Coachella.
    •    Give your Spring office attire a makeover — and keep this look in mind. We love the mix of street-chic and femme.
