Perfect Pastel Handbags for Spring

Spring is such a refreshing time of year.

Flowers are in bloom; stores are exploding with colorful merchandise; and it’s time to finally put away your winter blacks.

Spring is also a perfect time to start carrying a different handbag! Pick something that is lighter in both color and style, such as a pastel top handle bag instead of the dark leather shoulder satchel you were carrying all winter. To inspire you, we’ve rounded up our top pastel handbag picks for Spring 2012.

All things Aquamarine for March

When I traveled to Brazil, I knew I needed to visit the World Headquarters of H. Stern, located in Rio de Janeiro.

For the uninitiated, H. Stern is South America's equivalent to Tiffany & Co.  H. Stern was established in the 1950s by a German named Hans Stern.  The company has become a world leader in diamond and precious gem jewelry.  Several celebrity designers contribute to his collection, including Diane von Furstenberg.  The only H. Stern store in Canada is located in Montreal in case you'd like to have a look.

At any rate, I treated myself to a beautiful aquamarine and diamond ring while I was there.  My birthstone is not aquamarine, but the colour has always intrigued me so I went with it.

My love for aquamarine runs deep, so this post is dedicated to all things Aquamarine (which is à propos since it's the birthstone of March).
