They Call Me Mellow YELLOWWW



There's a serious color trend going on in the handbag section of every major department store...YELLOW! I'll admit that it's not my favorite hue in the world, but it will certainly stand out in a boring handbag collection. Have you ever noticed how many compliments you receive while wearing something daring? Don't be afraid to take a risk with color. Here are a few of my favorite yellow bags for Spring! I must start with the Lanvin Happy PM Python Shoulder Bag! It pretty much incorporates every trend into one breathtaking bag. Yellow showcases the flawless python skin perfectly. I live for the chain links, which feature grosgrain ribbon wrapped straps for shoulder comfort as well as bow and coin detailing. $2550 is a small price to pay for such a classic flap front design that will never go out of style. Pick up the Lanvin Happy PM Python Shoulder Bag at Barneys. Let's move on to the gorgeous Paige Gamble Stingray Clutch. It's timeless design and subtle shade of yellow will look so chic with your summer dresses. Stingray is the perfect introduction into the wonderful world of exotic skins because it's affordable and understated. Gamble always treats her bags, so you don't have to worry about sloshed champagne or scratches. We all know how crazy those garden parties can get. Did I mention that this little beauty was featured on Luca Luca's Spring 2010 runway? It's available at Paige Gamble for $1400. Can we talk for a moment about the unabashedly yellow Bottega Veneta Yolk Shiny Calf Tote Bag? The Italian calfskin is so supple and I love the grommet detailing as well as the scalloped hem. This tote is by no means typical for Bottega Veneta, but it's a fun departure in my opinion. Purchase directly from Bottega Veneta for $1850.

I'm with you about wearing something daring--yellow seems hard to wear but it's actually pretty fun. I never thought I'd wear my kelly green bag so much but it really became a big part of my wardrobe and I suspect a yellow one could too, it goes with lots of bright colors. I'm also loving Nancy Gonzalez's new one that just came out at Bergdorf.

I have to say that I wasn't sure when I bought my first yellow (Steve Madden) bag last year,but it is still one of my fav's. I always go back to it between bags and have gotten more compliments on it than expected.

You're right, take a rish with some color!
