10 Fave Handbags at the Fendi Milan Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2025 Show

So, happy Milan Fashion Week! Have you been watching the shows? I caught the Fendi Spring/Summer 2025 show and fell in love with several of the handbags on the runway. From tassles to oversized clutches, to ombre and embroidery, the bags were oh-so-beautiful. I’ve found that investing in designer bags is important. Buy a cheap bag and nine times out of ten, it will only last you for a year or so depending on how often you wear it. Some of these bags are classic and can last forever. I even noticed that the see-through trend that Fendi embraced for next spring has influenced some of their handbag designs. 

Anyway, check out more of my favorites below!

Proenza Schouler Cutout

Good afternoon! It’s been so hot down here in South Florida that your dresses have got to be breathable. So I’ve been wearing this Proenza Schouler cutout dress that has been somewhat light and airy. I also recently copped these J. W. Anderson leather flats that go with almost everything, a really good buy (shoes and similar below). I pair it with my yellow Rebecca Minkoff handbag which sets off the yellow in the dress. The cutout trend is here to stay for a while, have you picked up on the trend?

Five New Statement Summer Handbags

Rabanne

So, summer is upon is with record breaking heat adviseries and hurricanes/tropical storms. If it weren’t for a bit of rain here in South Florida, we would all be frying. But, the beach and the pools are always there for us to cool off. I found a few handbags that are perfect for this summer and are of neutral color. They all would make a fabulous statement with your outfit! Check out more below.

Coach Flats to Spice It Up

Howdy folks! I have been caught up with other work. Started working at a bridal shop and have been quite busy. I have to wear conservative black clothing and frankly it gets quite boring. However, today I am spicing up a basic black dress with some pink and black Coach flats.

 

They are so stylish and Neiman Marcus has some of their handbags on sale that you can see above. A nice handbag and cute shoes can always spice up conservative business casual clothing. Talk to you later!

Alero’s Wedding

 

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Bell! My cousin Alero Barrett and DeJuan Bell got married over the Fourth of July weekend and we all had a ball! I don’t know if it was the one year wait, the pandemic shutdown or what but we all cried (happy tears) and partied like never before. The weather was actually a little cool and overcast but I was happy to take it as opposed to severe New York summer heat. Anyway, I wore a Kikiriki lavender tulle dress, a Beauty and the Beast handbag and Steve Madden clear sandals. The bride wore two gorgeous dresses by Diana Mahrach– I was just in love with all the details.

Check out more photos and videos below and if you are planning to be a wedding guest soon, make sure to check out Nordstrom’s curated wedding guest looks here (they’re having a big sale now too).

Office Days

Good morning and happy Monday! So I have been quite busy working recently and with the COVID vaccine I feel a little more free in this pandemic. I have been mostly working from home because of COVID but have recently started going into the office a bit more. A great summer work look I put together is this old white Bebe blazer, a silk blouse along with a vintage Alice and Olivia skirt (similar here), Steve Madden purse (similar here) and Steve Madden “Kenley” heels. So have you been going back into an office?
