Spring 2010 Handbag Trends – Brights & Neons

Designers introduced a very much needed bolt of color and positive energy across the Spring 2010 runways after such a somber Fall 2009.  Yes, we are in a recession, yes world crisis has us desiring times when things seemed simpler, but we can’t forget to be grateful for today.  What better way to celebrate promises of new things to come than with vivid color?  For me, Proenza Schouler’s Spring 2010 scuba inspired looks like one below had me most optimistic of things to come.

Though I may not be able to sport the head to toe brights, I can add some shots of optimism to my life with the classic shape of the Kate Spade Tarrytown Maryanne Tote or the amazingly affordable Urban Expressions Scandicci Studded Clutch
