Chain Reaction

Purses are like shoes and money; you can never have too much or too many! This season purses with chains are popping up everywhere in variety of styles and shapes. Bags adorned with a chain handle or delicately draped chains add a ladylike twist to ordinary arm candy. Most of these styles are reminiscent of the timeless Chanel flap handbags.

Do you own any purses with chains? If not, would you purchase one?

In the Clutch

We BGs love our handbags and this season's crop of clutches will certainly satisfy our fashion fetish. The latest trends are actually comprised of a variety of styles. You can find everything from opulently oversized to sleek & small envelope clutches in stores and boutiques around the country.

They are the perfect accessory to a pretty sun dress or a sexy ensemble for a night out on the town. The best part is that you won't have to fish for your favorite lip-gloss at the bottom of your purse like with big, bulky bags. It's the perfect excuse to go out and grab a chic clutch!
