Good Things Come in Small Packages

   Not only are the flowers blooming, but your confidence should be too! It's the time of year when style begins to blossom and trends start to thrive. Take risks with new hues, accessories, trends and leave your comfort zone. If you don't try something new, you'll never know what it's like!
   So what is exactly in store for fashionistas this season? Don't pack too heavy! Miniature has never been so chic! Cross body, slung around your wrist or worn over the shoulder, small bags are the in thing. This season's bags may be teeny tiny, but they pack a fashion punch! Leather, sequined, canvas or lace- whichever you please, wear it with confidence!

"We've been seeing a lot of the 'urban warrior' trend, and crossbody styles are a big part of that," says Carrie Chapman, Senior Buyer at Barneys New York. "They are functional and edgy, and can be very sophisticated." Pair it with an LBD, or a casual outfit. Cross body bags and satchels provide extreme convenience when you've got a lot of other things to carry in your arms. You don't have to worry about it and it won't leave your side!
   Like I said, a cross body bag won't ever leave your side. They're reliable, handy and comfortable. With no strain on your back or shoulders, how could you go wrong? You can't. Marc Jacobs' signature styled CB (cross body) bags are classic and timeless. But if you're looking for something a tad cheaper, they're sold just about everywhere you can find handbags.
   If you haven't ever worn a cross body before, now's your time. Take risks and leave your comfort zone, you'll discover and love new trends and you can appreciate other people's fashion this way. So toss your old bag out during spring cleaning and welcome in a new, fashionable cross body bag!
