It seems Burberry is in a hurry to usher in Valentine’s Day super early with their Hearts collection of handbags. This collection is something I feel is targeted towards the younger crowd as the patterns and prints are a bit on the cutesy side of the spectrum. Though, these are little more refined than their previous offerings…

Burberry Confetti Hearts Tote ($495) – This is a tote I wouldn’t mind getting myself. The confetti hearts pattern …read more

I was at the mall yesterday and apparently there’s a bit of a mini-trend in the handbag department. I noticed more labels are creating small crossbody bags or you can also call them mini messenger bags or mini shoulder bags.
I’m on the fence about this actually. On one hand they’re all very convenient and sometimes you do need to go hands-free whilst running errands or even shopping and they’re also great for travel. However, their small size is limiting. Unless of course, you only carry around the bare necessities, in that case, you’re golden.
