HANDBAGS IN VIBRANT HUES WILL BE SHOWCASED IN SUMMER '08

Wondering what the summer handbag trends will look like this year?

Violet, turquoise, citron and melon will add new life to the summer season's essentials.

Here are a few of my personal favorites:

TARAH SMITH’s salmon patent-leather “The Yuppie” satchel ($165).


LOCKHEART’s “Color Theory” turquoise leather “Jolie Disco” bag with chain strap ($140).

LOCKHEART’s “Color Theory” leather “Large Frame Continental” clutch in light purple ($127).
TRACY REESE’s yellow leather hobo-shape handbag ($162).

I just love the colors-- I'm really feeling like being in the Bahamas right now!
