Summer 2012 : Oversize Handbag Trends

No matter what your plans are this Summer, you're going to want to have everything you need no matter where you go! Embrace your inner 'pack rat', and take all of your creature comforts with you while staying in style this season thanks to the hot new oversized handbags available right now. I love oversized bags, and I love having my favorite book, glasses, water bottle, mobile device, and just-in-case jacket on hand no matter where I find myself adventuring during warm weather months. Having an oversized bag allows me to keep my look polished while having more than enough room for everything I need for the day and room for the things I pick up along the way!

To compliment the popular colors and bright looks of Summer 2012, I have designed this sassy yellow tote in an oversized design with all the perks. The top zipper closure makes sure that you never run in to spilled purse disasters, and the interior pocket helps you keep important items within easy reach... no more fumbling! See the yellow Amanda oversized tote bag here.

This is a great bag to have at hand this Summer, and there are several sleek and attractive colors available right now on the Tabelina.com website!

I am looking so forward to seeing this year's popular colors in action! It's always such a treat to see how various garment, accessory, and jewelry designers take trending colors and styles and turn them into wearable fashion. I have a feeling that Summer 2012 styles are going to be memorable, and having this tote will make sure you can carry them all with you!

Style And Spirituality

Alright, so I admit that mixing the words 'style' and 'spirituality' may seem really strange, but hear me out - I think you'll love what I have to say here!

One of the main reasons that I started Tabelina and begin creating amazing designs for women is for the simple sake of confidence. I think that an empowered and confident woman is a force to be reckoned with in this world - and I believe that style is a great way to bring that out in anyone!

For many women, the right clutch, necklace, ring, skirt, or hairstyle can be a talisman of sorts that gives her the permission and confidence to let her authentic self shine forth. It's not the product itself that creates the change - but the person who uses the product as a spiritual medium to get their point across. Just like when an artist uses a brush to let their soul speak, a woman can use the artistry of her dress, style, and accessories to show the world show she really is.

Because each woman is a spiritual, powerful, and abundant being in this world, I think that our style should match those ideals. Taking time to see yourself in the things you dress with - and see the style of what you dress with in yourself - can be a really empowering meditation each day as you get ready to take on the world! From the hidden meanings of colors to the emotions and feelings that various shapes and designs evoke... what you wear is a sacred dress that shows the world who you choose to be today!

For the next few days, try looking at your own style, your wardrobe, accessories, handbags, hairstyle, makeup, and presentation in a slightly different way. Read in to the things you wear, and see what you say to the world through your own spiritual style!

It's a great day to be empowered!

2012 Summer Fashion Trends : A Look Ahead

Are you excited about staying ahead of the fashion curve this Summer? Well, the good news is that top fashion experts and the latest runway shows are exposing just what will be hot this year!

For Summer 2012 fashion, the key is color! Last year we saw lots of muted tones, grays, earth tones, and even some pastels - but this year the full palette of bright, even borderline neon, colors seems to be on the trend.

Hot pink, bright green, electric blue, and muted shades of those colors will all be seen during the warm months, as will traditional blacks and absolutely anything that shines. Metallic colors like gold and silver will be hot, as will materials that have a shimmer such as patent leather, lycra, and resin.

Some of the top runway shows recently have seen designers dare to pull out colors schemes that are reminiscent of the mid-1990's! Neon, electric, and hot colors combines with grounded blacks and whites are all about eye catching statement - and people all over will be wearing them to the beach, the clubs, and the shops this Summer.

The key to making any outfit complete is and always will be accessorizing. Making sure you have a versatile, coordinated, and efficient hand bag makes your life easier while making you look great at the same time. Jewelry - especially this years popular long necklace style - adds elegance and playful motion to any ensemble. Check out the latest bright designs at the Tabelina store... handbags, jewelry,  and accessories that will add classic elegance and playful trendy colors to your look this year!
