Obsession: Goyard Totes vs Longchamp

Pretty much every girl loves the ease and elegance of a Longchamp. The plastic durability makes it easy to take anywhere. With that being said I want to introduce my newest tote obsession...Goyard. These bags come in just about every bright color, and are chic enough to pair with skinnies and a blazer, but also laid back enough to carry with sweats. I recently became in love with them when I noticed that Longchamp imitators were everywhere. UrbanOg.com has their own version of the Longchamp, and its absolutely identical minus the logo. Of course its called by some other name, but it's a copy none the less. I saw this on multiple other sites and for me that takes the allure away from the original. When everyone you pass has the same bag its no longer a unique piece that you would be willing to spend $150 on. However, I was left with a gap where no other bag could fill that effortless plastic tote category.... that was until I landed upon Goyard. I feel like I'm rambling, but let me finish by saying it comes in great spring colors, and they all have great prints. Check them out below!

Color-blocking for Spring

Why am I already thinking about Spring fashion? Oh yeah, because fashion week months ago gave me a taste of what's to come & I literally can hardly wait! It's just now approaching winter in Kentucky, but I would like to imagine myself somewhere warm where I can rock everything and no one would laugh at me for it.

Either way, one trend we will see majorly this Spring is color-blocking. This is a style of pairing clothes in ways you might not normally see it as going, with bright colors overlapped. For example, a normal outfit might have dark jeans, a blue top and some nude heels. With color blocking you wear a green skirt, with the blue shirt & pink pumps. All bright "wow" colors, & all worn together in harmony. It kinda sounds funky I know, but trust me the pictures below speak for themselves! It's so 2012 fashion, and it's going to catch on very quickly. Jeans are always going to be a staple but they are quickly being replaced by bright colored pants, skirts, leggings & shorts.

Bring on the color blocking for 2012!!
