Do you know what is so great about a beautiful handbag? Doesn’t matter if you are having a bad hair day, your pants are a little too tight, or you spilled coffee on your sweater – carrying a gorgeous bag makes up for it!

I am loving all the vibrant colored bags we are seeing here in Florence. A bright bag or gloves really creates an impression, especially since most of our clothing is neutral. Black, brown, navy, camel, etc. are great backdrops for a colorful bag. I have seen forest green python, orange suede, and combinations of different types of leather that make me wish I had more arms on which to carry bags!
