Spring is in the bag...

     Happy first day of Spring!  It doesn't feel like it here in VA, but I know those beautiful blooms and Spring breezes are just around the corner!  When the seasons change, I love to switch up my bag.  I tend to carry the same one for a while (just too time consuming to change every day).  A bright bag is my favorite way to bring new life to basic outfits and accessories are just a great way to change up your look without buying a new wardrobe every season.
     My Spring bag actually came from an unexpected place.  I was browsing my weekly Target ad and noticed that they had a new line/collection online and in store.  The "dv" logo looked very familiar and come to find out...Dolce Vita now has a line in Target!  I've always been a fan of the shoes, when I saw them in places like Nordstrom, but they can definitely be an investment.   Now we have a more affordable and just as fashion forward option!

     I ordered the bag offline, since my local Targets didn't stock them and was surprised by the quality.  This particular style reminds me of a Chloe bag and at a much friendlier price point.  The gold hardware and chain strap look expensive and the front clasp is a nice extra touch.  I LOVE that the chain strap has a fabric piece at the top to make carrying more comfortable.  The chain-only straps can become very uncomfortable, especially if you keep your purse full.  My only complaint is that there is only a zip pocket on the inside.  It's not a deal breaker, but I do love when a bag has the additional cell phone pocket(s).  If you'd like a more neutral option, the bag does come in brown and black as well.
     I wanted to give the bag a little something extra and this pom pom keychain in navy was just what I needed.  I found mine online at H&M and the faux fur is beautiful and the gold hardware went perfectly with my bag.  Mine is sold out, but I've linked a similar one. 
Happy shopping!
