The satchel is your handbag best friend. It's medium sized, ladylike and simple - I'm sure everyone has a favorite satchel sitting in her closet needing a dust off! If not, this Spring would be a good time to invest in one - especially a colorful one.

When form meets function you have the convertible bag. These have been the celeb favorite lately. Remember Reese and
her Lanvin?

Printed canvas bags provide some comic relief during this week's
Spring Handbag Guide. I know we all love buttery leather, but color and prints are best done on canvas - it is many artist's favorite medium after all! Prints are bold and whimsical, providing an outfit a shot of fun.

I discovered
Joanna Louca on a trip to NYC last year. I was in a cool new boutique in the West Village that specialized in indie designers and one of her handbags caught my eye. It had a crafty appeal to it and looked like something one would find in Eastern Europe, like Istanbul or somewhere.

Hey ladies! Get funky with these small shoulder bags. This is actually one of my all time favorite styles!
