Fashion meets art in this edgy collection of handbags I keep eyeing. Carolien Vlieger and Hein van Dam gave a whole new meaning to embossed leather with their collection of handbags featuring three-dimensional shapes that embody a certain edge that will definitely cause onlookers to give a double take. The launch of their Guardian Angel bag caught the attention of many art critics and was actually featured in the MoMA in 2005. With handbags embossed with guns, knives, and handcuffs, to name a few, this collection is definitely geared to the fashionista who enjoys a bold statement. Vlieger & Vandam has been spotted on celebrities such as Rihanna, Fergie, Rita Ora, Rumor Willis, and many others. Take a look at some of our favorites below, and let us know – Would you step out with one of these edgy handbags? I know I would!

As we mentioned on Thursday, we flew out to LA this past weekend for the Lucky FABB Conference at the SLS Beverly Hills Hotel . We had such a fun weekend listening to speakers, meeting new bloggers, exploring the city, and enjoying all the fabulous pampering Lucky FABB provided. We flew in Thursday night and were welcomed with two glamorous events. First, we headed over to Blow Me Away Blow Dry Bar for the Lucky + Wendy’s event. Wendy’s was one of the sponsors for the event to showcase the launch of their newest salad collection, so they gave us all Asian inspired salads while we got our blow outs, which were actually delicious! We had such a fun time getting all dolled up with the girls from the salon! Following this, we headed over to Duplex on Third for the Lucky + Sexy Hair cocktail party, where we mingled with bloggers, sipped cocktails, and learned more about the Sexy Hair products. It was the perfect way to kick off our weekend, and we had such a blast! Take a look at our pictures from Thursday night and stay tuned for more event pictures to come:

One trend we’ve been noticing all over the place, and even more so in LA this past week, is over the shoulder coats. Though the two words “coat” and “Spring” don’t mesh very well in the Texas heat, Spring coats are a big trend for the season. What makes this look different this Spring is the way they are being worn off the shoulders. Though it may seem impractical to wear a coat around your shoulders, as compared to actually keeping your arms within the sleeves, over the shoulder coats give a feminine and sophisticated look to any outfit. See some of our favorite street style looks below and check out our Pinterest page for more over the shoulder coats – Also, be sure to follow us!

Designed to look like you borrowed your jeans from your guy’s closet, boyfriend jeans are one of the must-have denim styles this season. The slouchy shape and rolled cuffs are a casual, yet insanely comfortable, alternative to your go-to skinnys. I paired mine with this striped Splendid tee and my favorite wedges for an easy weeknight look. I suggest you add heels or a girly sandal to keep this outfit chic and not slouchy. Comfy chic is my favorite look!
