Ascending Butterfly's 'Spring Into Bags' Special Feature launch sponsored by:

I was so excited about our new 'Spring Into Bags' special feature, I have decided to launch it one week earlier than expected! This feature was set to go live in March, but I just couldn't wait to share with you one of my favorite joys of Spring, new handbags!

This Spring, color will be hot in handbags (think 'brights' like yellows, kelly greens etc) and studded bags in honor of the 'Rocker Chick' inspired runway looks we saw at New York Fashion Week.

We all know the best way to apply runway style trends to our day to day lives lies in the accessories. None of us can show up at work with a head-to-toe look straight off the runway, but we can rock a great bag!

For Spring 2010, Ascending Butterfly will be hosting a special feature called 'Spring Into Bags' we are going to be reviewing and giving away hot handbags from hot bag designers! Fasten your seatbelts fellow bag lovers you are in for an awesome ride!

The first designer being featured is Elliott Lucca who has been spotted on the arms of celebs like Jennifer  Garner and Carmen Electra.

I was sent Elliot Lucca's "Casares Bag" in the 'Curry' Color, it's major Spring Arm Candy with it's  basketweave design from the base to the middle and the drawstring with the metalic pull stop and side pockets with branded zipper pulls that have a leather tassle accent. It's buttery soft. There is nothing like the smell of leather in the morning!

How would you like to become a 'bag reviewer'?   The winner of this giveaway will win a different bag than the one I reviewed. We'd love to hear the winner's feedback on their bag once they have had some time to test drive it in the spring!
