During the winter months, handbags typically are duller looking with more austere colors (brown, black, shades of tan, and off colored whites). The reason for this is because these tones match the environment consistent with these months. Winter expresses feelings of cold, isolation, and alienation; therefore, these colors aid in the amplification of these moods/expressions. Summer fashion, however, allows for individuals to blossom and express their feelings of belonging and love.

Even though summer denotes a sense of belonging and acceptance, it is vital that a woman personalize her handbag to contain her sense of individuality. This sense of individualism is what separates her from everyone else. Unlike men (hence why you see thousands of men wearing the same jersey at baseball games congratulating each other for what they are wearing) women need this sense of being separate but equal. Therefore, how does one go about selecting the perfect handbag for her personal fashion?

First off, a woman should realize what size purse fits her needs. This can be determined by the woman's preference. If a lady doesn't require that much ‘stuff', than a smaller sized purse is more suited for her. If a woman likes to remain prepared for all occasions (this characteristic is exemplified greatly in women with children), than a larger handbag that encompasses toiletries and snacks should be selected. Regardless the size of the purse, texture and color is really what sets every handbag apart.

Warmer months tend to bring forth softer textures with more exotic colors. Pastels and smooth leather fabrics (or smoother hybrid plastics) are usually the way to go. The best part of selecting your handbag for the summer months is that you can get creative designs imprinted directly onto the fabric (i.e. Isabella's Journey ). If you are more into the vibrant colors/pastels, a brand such as Beijo would work best for you. If you don't like exotic colors or fabrics, and you like a softer touch, a brand such as Baggallini would be your best selection. Regardless of your choice, make sure the color and tone match your personality.

Fashion brings out the life in people and is literally an extension of their personality. Make sure you amplify your individuality by personalizing your handbag. Remember, there is only one you and you are not like everyone else. Happy shopping: and good luck selecting you personality in your wardrobe.
