Just Fab Spring Style - Straps and Pastels

 As many of you know, my other passion besides beauty is fashion. And specifically shoes and handbags. More handbags than shoes, but I love, love, love shoes and bags. And what I love even more than shoes and bags, are shoes and bags at a good price.

I am a JustFab Brand Ambassador so these products were "purchased" by using points I earned for activities I completed for the company. I am not a paid employee and my ambassador status is dependent upon my active participation in the program. If you are interested in hearing more about that, comment below and I would be happy to give you more details. And for those who don't know, JustFab is a monthly subscription (you can skip each month, just do it by the 5th so you don't get charged) and they have everything from shoes and bags, to fashion and accessories.

So before I get too far off track, let's talk spring fashion!

Now this first pair of shoes, might not be what you would typically think of when you think about spring. BUT I'm not typical, so whatever, BUT cut outs and straps are uber-chic for spring and Reanne (that's the name of the shoe) is so on point for that. I love the rough and tough edge that these sandals give but paired with a below the knee skirt and cardi they are tres' chic for the office. Or at least my office. They are 4 inches high and pretty comfy. They also come in nude/beige.

Ambrosia is a little more conservative but still sexy, and I love navy and beige. Love it. Navy is probably my second most fave color. And these are sooooo office appropriate and sooooo dinner date appropriate that they are sure to get a lot of use. They are also about 4 inches in height and are comfy for heels. These also come in grey.

And last, but so totally not least, is Statement. This bag is glorious. I know I say this every time, but this is my fave JustFab bag ever. I love the Nude color (it also comes in grey) and it's just so classic and versatile. Also, it's frickin huge! You could carry a small child in here. Not that you should, but it's that big. So great for every day, and the office and shopping/running errands. I know I will get a lot of use out of this!

Handbag-aholic's Annonymous

Today's post is all about one of my other obsessions. Hello. My name is Melissa and I am a handbag-aholic. I have been this way since 1985, and there's no end in sight. That being said I actually don't have many handbags. Maybe you are looking at that picture above and thinking, "Wow, that seems like a lot." But I only have like 3 other bags besides the ones pictured. I have a crap ton of tote bags, that are giant work, beach, travel totes but actual handbags aren't many.

Sasha and Diesel also appreciate a sweet handbag, so they had to get in on the action.

The handbags featured in this blog post are all from JustFab. I am a brand ambassador and a couple of these were acquired through the points I earned and a couple were purchased with my money. BUT all of the opinions here are my own. When I look for bags I try to look for things that will last for years and might be a trendy color but not a trendy style because I don't like to use them for a week and then get rid of them. I want a bag I can keep for the long haul.

This glorious purple bag is called the Producer. I love that it's Birkin-esque and I love that it's purple. What I don't love is how short the handles are, because at best this is an armpit bag. I will have to carry it in my hands or in the crook of my arm. Which is fine and I love this bag, I just need to be hands free sometimes. I love the size of this bag and think that it's classy enough to go to work and client meetings or the grocery store and happy hour. It also comes with a detachable strap.

Pictured above is Arrival in Navy blue. This is a hard structured tote and it's stunning. I love that this looks so much more expensive than it is and what you can't see here is that it has leopard lining. Leopard lining. Yes. Awesome right? This also a bag that needs to be hand carried, though it does come with a detachable strap. This bag is so luxe and the navy color is beautiful.

Above is Gilded in tan/nude/brown, not exactly sure of the color on this. I love how this looks like a Michael Kors bag. But it's a fraction of the price. It's a bit on the smaller side for me and doesn't have a ton of pockets like the bags above (which I didn't mention, but most bags from JustFab are awesome for pockets.) As you can see I like my bags to be both functional and fashionable as well as bags I can take to work and errands because I don't have time to change them out during the day.

And finally, this is Magic Kingdom in Nude. A warning, this bag is heavy. Like, really heavy when it's empty. I love it. But it's heavy. Again love the pockets and the neutral color. This obviously has a strap along with handles and I think this would actually be a good travel bag as you could get a crap ton of stuff in here and then have it as your purse when you arrive at your destination.

I love the bags I get from JustFab, I think they are affordable and a good value (members can purchase all styles for $39.95 and right now there is a sale going on where you can get two for $39.95 - mix shoes and handbags and other items too!)

Do you have a favorite bag? Are you also a handbag-aholic? Tell me in the comments. There's strength in numbers, we can give each other hope. Or really good shopping tips.
