The more I see stylish girls with their Mulberry bags around NYC, I wonder how these bags haven’t reached total ‘It-bag’ status. They are the perfect combo of casual, chic and totally urban. I’ve seen them on boho types and preppy types and the bags translate. If you haven’t yet bought into the brand, now’s the time. Today on Rue La La shop Alexas, Bayswaters, Cecilys and more in a ton of fun spring colors (and some classics if you are more into neutrals).

Friends & Family sale season is pretty much the best time of year. It rolls around and BAM! Savings on in-season merchandise you’ve just been waiting to pull the trigger on.

If you were thinking about purchasing a new Tory Burch bag or some new spring clothes (cross your fingers, East Coast! I think it’s FINALLY getting warm!), do it now.

Fashion girls have been sporting bright Alice + Olivia frocks for a good few years now, but only recently has the brand delved into the world of handbags. If you are in need of a new dress (wedding season is forthcoming after all!) or you’ve been coveting one of the brand’s new bags, the Friends and Family sale is the perfect time to indulge.

There are some women are are always on the hunt for a great deal. I happen to be one of them. If you feel like me, you are probably used to perusing THE OUTNET for amazing steals. Today our friends over at THE OUTNET are unleashing a ton of Valentino (shoes! bags!) for your shopping pleasure.

Get it while the getting is still good.

Gucci has crept its way into the hearts, minds and closets of the PurseBlog staff over the past year, so we were pretty psyched to see so many fabulous and covetable options make their way into today’s Gucci sale on Rue La La. Besides bags (and there are plenty of good ones to choose from), there’s a huge selection of watches, sunglasses and a handful of shoes.

What don’t we love about Kate Spade? Between the quirky branding, luxe packaging and styling prowess of the one and only Mr. Brad Goreski, it’s safe to say the brand tops our list of favorite contemporary lines on the market.

I always like to share what I’m purchasing during these kinds of promotions, and I wouldn’t want to leave you hanging this time!
