Step 1:

Bold Colors

Make a statement this spring and summer with bags in bold colors. Blue, green, pink, purple, red - the bolder the color, the better - but the hottest color choice for this season is tangerine. And don't worry - you can take tangerine right into the fall, so indulge. The best thing about bold color bags: if you're not the kind of fahionistsa to wear colorful clothes, a bright bag can be a great way to bring this trend into your wardrobe!

Step 2:

Ombre Effect

The ombre effect is all about colors fading from one to the next - black to white, dark purple to light purple, navy to sky blue. You'll be seeing this look in clothes, shoes, and handbags this season, but save yourself a few bucks by not splurging on this trend. It's probably not a look that's going to last.

Clutches

Clutches are super-hot this season. Any size, any shape, any material, any color. Oversized, exaggerated, elongated, scrunched. You can't go wrong with this look, so stock up!
