HIP Trend Alert

Melie Bianco Woven Mesh Tote in Ivory ($88)

Melie Bianco Shoulder Bag w/ Metallic Trim in White ($79)

Melie Bianco Hobo w/ Chain Detail in Beige ($97)

Every season Handbag trends come and go and come back around again. This season white is hot! White and neutral handbags are one of the most popular trends for spring 2010. If you only get one handbag this spring go for one in ivory, white, cream, nude or beige. Look for these colors in a satchel or slouchy hobo style like the ones from Melie Bianco shown in the pictures above.

Detail is an essential feature to look for while on your white/neutral handbag search this season. Texture is a predominant feature for spring. Look for braided handles, woven leather, ruching detail and pleats. Tassels and fringe are also trendy trimmings to watch out for this year. If you are looking for more edge you should try metallic hardware like studs, chains, exposed zippers, buckles and other embellishments.

Michael Stars Drawstring Boatneck Top in Camo ($72)

Also Avalible in Black

Check out the hot new arrivals above from our favorite man, Michael. The Spring 2010 line from Michael Stars is inspired by “Natural Beauty” “Infusing the allure of nature with the fascination of style” to be a little more precise. Classic earth tones and army green hues balance the “Natural Beauty” state of mind.

Every season Michael introduces new styles to his “casual couture” offering and you would think after 25 years of making the basic tee fashionable innovation would be a challenge but every year this line keeps getting better and better!

Stop in and try on a Michael Stars tee for yourself.
