SATIN PRADA
Satin for spring? Yes, please. And it’s Prada? Double yes. Because when it comes to accessories, Prada knows what they’re doing. The beloved Italian luxury house has been creating sold out handbags since its launch in 1913, but more recently the fashion market has been pushing for more and more contemporary collections from the brand. Case in point, its highly favored nylon collection, which has been seen from streetwear styles to celebrities and influencers throughout the world.
The go-to silhouette for most Prada lovers is mini but powerful. You’ll find that most modern fashion insiders are all about the on-trend mini style for spring/summer because of its more affordable access and reliable stature. The classic Prada Re-Edition Mini Nylon Bag is every girl’s favorite go-to bag for any and all occasions. Paired perfectly with summer’s must-have top is the Prada Re-Nylon Top, this style is just in time for a festival look or just lounging around the pool. And go from day-to-night by topping this look off with a pair of Satin Prada pumps. Easy and trendy, you cannot go wrong with this perfect pairing.
POLISHED SILVER
Quite literally, silver is a shining beacon for spring fashion. This trend is not only great for wardrobe transformation, but it has become a bright upgrade to the minimalist style. Fashion aficionados are now opting for silvers in place of the regular nudes and blacks. Adding in some pops of foil to the classic laid-back look enhances your outfit from plain to platinum.
The best part about a silver pairing is the ability to easily elevate with an already minimal look. Whether you’re opting for a monochromatic appeal or a sleek tailored ensemble, this perfectly shining pair adds the perfect amount of glitz. The viral Diesel 1DR Shoulder Bag with these Prada Plexiglass 75mm Pointy High Heels can be worn with jeans and a blazer for a more while a sleek long sparkly slit skirt gives off more elegance. Both ways offer a perfect stand-out look for spring.
CHIC SHOW PONY

These heels offer elegance with crystal embellishment and a satin finish. So rock out with this 2-piece combo and get the night started right.
MINIMALISTIC GLAM
The runways might say pops of Pantone colors, but most of our closets are probably still screaming neutral. There’s something so clean and classic about a natural look that feels warm and comfortable. Now that we’re escaping the cold weather and heading to a breezy spring/summer season, it’s time for a fresh color palette that’ll be easy to pair with almost any style.
This refreshing pairing is for the minimalist babes. Personally, I’ve always thought a heel and handbag combination had to be bold to stand out.. But this ivory on gold combination is subtle in its colorway and style. The chunky, block heel of the Gucci Horsbit is a super comfy, versatile heel for dinners, vacations, weddings, you name it. And speaking of the ultimate dinner date, these heels have a soulmate. A girl’s best friend, and possibly the most chic style choices for any handbag lover, is the Jacquemus Ivory Handbag. The popular brand recently broke the internet with their viral giant bags-on-wheels marketing stunt. I think it’s safe to say this bag should be taken wherever you go.
LOVE OF LILAC
The perfect pairing to a delicious dessert date with a handbag to match. This pastel pairing is the perfect standout combination for spring occasions. Whether you’re attending an outside wedding or visiting a winery with your girls, the lilac style will offer a cooling breeze under the spring sun.
The mini lilac and tan tote bag will become a timeless piece among your handbag collection. It evokes a playful emotion with its allover GG motif, while the leather on canvas materials gives the bag a more mature look and feel. Pair this pretty bag perfectly with a pair of Versace pumps and look as good as you feel. Decorated in a satin finish on a 155mm platform, these pumps are a statement runway design. Look closely and you’ll notice the ankle strap is adorned with rhinestones and the brand’s signature Medusa charm.
THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL
Never be afraid to go all out. In contrast to highly saturated hues, some fashion forecasters have now taken to colorful pieces for a more energetic effect. From digital lavender to fiery reds, colors have not been shy to the runways throughout 2023 fashion shows.
She’s flirty and she’s fun. This colorful handbag and heels combination harnesses a creative energy that’s perfect for boosting your daily activities with some spring energy. This girly pairing features Amina Muaddi Begum Heelsand a Louis Vuitton LV x YK Onthego Flower Marquetry bag.
