Spring Trend Alert: A How To On Embracing The Bohemian Look
Mar 23rd
Hippie, hipster, Boho-Chic, whatever you like to call it, the bohemian look is an essential style for Spring 2011. For some it`s just straight up how they dress…I can think of tons of women who have been rocking the bohemian look since 2005 at least. There`s nothing wrong with that. It`s hot! To keep it fresh though, you`ve got to add a fresh breath of the 2011 spirit that so many designers have been on to this year. It`s a thrifty, care free look, but if you don`t want to look like a flower child or a beggar you have to really pay attention to the details. I think it`s all about the accessories.
Guest Post From Purspage.com: Coach Madison Bag
Mar 21st
Getting tired of hearing little old me review the latest and greatest designer handbag finds? Well, this week I am honored to have a guest post from Christina B. of the oh so fabulous Pursepage.com. Enjoy!

Hello lovely Geekpurses readers! I’m Christina B. from Purse Page, and I’m so happy to have yet another chance to gush about a great bag to fellow purse lovers! I’ve been a Coach girl since the moment I set foot in one of the leather-filled stores in my early teens. The timeless style and quality construction of Coach purses mean I have no guilt over how many are in my closet, since I know they’ll last a lifetime and always look chic. The current piece I have my eye on is the Madison Leather Maggie Shoulder Bag. The silhouette is streamlined and simple, but the three separate interior pockets have me swooning. A spacious purse is a great thing, but an organized purse is even better! At $358, this bag is well worth the cash given how long it’ll last and the fact that the six available colors are all wardrobe-friendly neutrals.
The Marc by Marc Jacobs Franny Python Effect PVC Tote: An Eco-Chic Designer Purse Worth Buying
Mar 18th

I have a lot of friends who have been looking for eco-friendly designer handbags that can rival their leather made counterparts and I am sorry to say there aren`t always a lot of stylish options for them. If you are an eco loving fashionista this may just be the bag for you. The Marc by Marc Jacobs Franny python effect PVC tote is an incredibly chic edition to any animal lovers closet. The bag is free of any animal skin inside and out and still maintains the city girl chic we have come to know and love from Marc Jacobs. The bag has a slouchy casual shape, a removable shoulder strap and gold hardware to boot. Shown above in the smoke color it is also available in black, cream, and a really knock out red. Even if you are not of the PETA persuasion you will also get a kick out of this handy tote. I give this Marc by Marc Jacobs bag an eco friendly chic, how about you?

Disco Vintage Treasures: A Look At Gucci Spring 2011 Designer Handbags
Mar 16th
There are a lot of things I take into consideration when purchasing what I call an “investment bag”…color, fabrication, function… but when I see Gucci bags it all just flies out the window. The Spring 2011 collection from Gucci has got me so hot for a new Gucci bag that I can barely wait for the April delivery to stores to get here. Tick-tock, Tick-tock. Gucci bags have always had a classy and timeless appeal to them, but this season they have really raised the bar adding what can only be described in my eyes as seventies vintage, rustic, disco touches to their designs. Did I really just say rustic and disco in the same sentence? Take a look at my Gucci Spring 2011 picks and you will see what I mean.

I love this new twist on the Tory bag from Tory Burch…leather with a denim effect! I am a denim fanatic and I cannot get enough of all things denim or denim related. So naturally, when I came across this bag on the Internet I was overjoyed to say the least. The new Tory turn-lock leather shoulder bag in denim effect leather is a sophisticated way to mix uptown with downtown and casual with elegant.
