6 Nail Polish Trends for Summer 2013

As the fashion and beauty nuts that we are, it’s not unlikely that you’ll find us with ah-mazing handbags and perfectly-manicured digits that match. This summer, we’re excited about some new nail polish trends and, of course, our new arrivals that match! Check out these haute pairs of lacquer and bags to find a style that will brighten your summer.

Tangerine Temptress

It’s summer, and we say it’s time to have fun with some colorful accessories! Brights are ideal for the sunny season, and there’s nothing sunnier than a bright orange! This Orly Mayhem Mentality polish is a perfect match for our Harper Messenger Bag, complete with a contrasting brown shoulder strap and bright aqua button. You could even go one step further and do one aqua accent nail!

Aqua Allure

Speaking of aqua…. The color of the beautiful ocean and the sprawling skies, there’s no better color for summer than aqua! Paired beautifully with neutrals, as well as other brights, this happy shade is a perfect match for accessories and nail color. We love Essie’s In the Cab-ana and its handbag counterpart, the Emily Messenger Satchel.

Beige Babe

This season, beige nail lacquer is splashing the fingers and toes of models and celebrities from coast to coast. Not a color typically associated with summer cosmetics, we think this color leaves the door open to add nail art, glittery top coats, or simply a chic manicure. Match this OPI Glints of Glinda with our Rebecca Doctor Satchel for a match made in Heaven!

Textured Mama

Have you tried this latest nail trend yet? Known as nail caviar, this polish includes a colored base coat and colorful caviar beads for a fun, textured manicure unlike any other! For a bag that matches, opt for faux animal skin bags like ostrich and alligator (never the real thing!). Our Isabella Sequin Clutch and Ciate’s Sugar Caviar Manicure in Tutti Frutti are like two peas in a pod!

Fierce Fuschia

Every girl has to have a flirty pink in her nail color arsenal. China Glaze’s You Drive Me Coconuts looks hot, hot, hot with our cute Edie Patent Barrel Satchel, wouldn’t you agree?

Emerald Elegance

And who can forget the Pantone Color of the Year, Emerald? While it may seem like a cold weather shade, this color comes in a number of lighter tones that are ideal for summer. Essie’s Shake Your $$ Maker pairs perfectly with this Avery Winged Satchel. Aren’t you just green with envy?! We sure are!

Summer White Out

It’s that time of year again! Between Memorial Day and Labor Day, wearing white is all the rage and this summer we’re more than ready to support the summer white out! From accessories to dresses, and pants to shorts, this is one trend that is not only classic but ideal for every style, personality, and body type. Aren’t sure about the best way to pull off this summer trend? No worries, girlfriend — we’ve got you covered!
 

white skinny jeans for summer

Whether you work in an office or simply have plans on a cool summer evening, white pants are still a viable option for the season. Opt for skinnies like this GBO Fashion blogger did, or try wide legged trouser pants, and pair with a basic top and accessories in neutral colors.
 

white summer dress

Blogger Nicholl Vincent looks fab in white on white. We love the idea of a white blouse, chiffon skirt, white necklace, and black accented accessories. Black and white is a timeless trend that never goes out of style.
 

white romper for summer

This look is nearly too cute for words! In contrast to Nicholl’s ensemble above, this Hello Fashion blogger adds fresh pops of color that are perfect for the season. Pair a peplum romper with colorful accessories like a floppy hat and bright strappy wedges.

 

white summer v-neck

There is just something sexy about an oversized white tee in the summer, and Ivory Lane’s Emily is proof! Throw on a v-neck t-shirt with colored skinnies, nude stilettos, a neon bag and some silver jewelry to achieve that “off duty supermodel” look!
 

white summer blazer

For those with a more classic style, a crisp white blazer paired with a printed blush-colored top, ankle denim and nude accessories is perfecto! P.S. Can we please focus on her amazing shoes?! All in all, another great look from Emily of Ivory Lane!
 

white pencil skirt

This look from Mix & Match Fashion is truly fancy-meets-fun. A white pencil skirt is a perfect canvas for mixing prints and colors. From her floral top to her striped shoes and bright bag, this lovely lady is one fashionista that knows how to wear white!
 

white blouse for summer

Check out this look by See Jane! For those working gals out there, these printed ankle pants and neon pumps are cute but classy with a loose, white button-up blouse. With an open neckline, why not throw in a fun necklace too?

 

summer 2013 whites

Get the look!

So what are your white haute essentials this summer? On your next shopping trip, be on the lookout for a fedora, fun sandals, and cat eye sunnies. Statement bubble necklaces are a great addition to any summer look, while a versatile white tee and skater skirt are musts as well. Of course, the showstopper here is this Dakota Colorblock Bag — so cute! Finish the look with a white manicure and you’re good to go!

Bathing Beauties: Bags for Beach Days

Whether you’re bikini-body ready, or maybe not-so-ready, swimsuit season is officially here! While your suit and cover up are crucial aspects of your beach and pool attire, there’s no reason why your beach bag can’t be just as stylish! Peruse the looks below — each perfectly paired with a Handbag Heaven exclusive tote — to find one that matches your summer style!

Marina Glam

Get the look here!

Just because you’re headed to the beach doesn’t mean you can rest on your fashion laurels! This beach glam look is perfect for the fashionista headed somewhere truly tropical. A basic black suit with metallic wedges, sarong trousers, and bangle bracelets will fit perfectly in the Striped Canvas Weekender Tote, while you frolic in the ocean!

 

Cabana Cool

tropical beach tote

Lucky enough to be going on a tropical beach vacay? This look is definitely your beach style inspiration! Mixing and matching swim tops and bottoms is one way to be bold with your look. Opt for bright colors and pieces with prints and patterns. Complete the look with a fedora to shade your face and a fun beach bag (like this Palm Springs Rope Tote) and you’re ready for fun in the sun!

 

Pin-Up Style

vintage beach tote

Get the look here!

If you are an avid beach or pool goer, we say why not splurge on a cute suit? This checkered one-piece looks far-out with bow wedges, vintage cat eye sunglasses, and this McKenna Straw Tote to store your things while you scour the sand for a summer romance. Let’s face it, you’re a heartbreaker!

 

Maritime Chic

nautical beach tote

Get the look here!

Sometimes your trip to the beach is less about swimming and sunbathing, and more about hanging with the gang. In this case, step into a pair of denim shorts, a cropped blouse and sandals. We love the nautical feel of this bikini paired with our Anchors Away Striped Tote.

 

Poolside Pretty

Get the look here!

For those of us who won’t be seeing the open waters this summer, a day at the pool will have to do! Make a statement with a bold bikini (like this fringe bandeau top), neon slides and a bow-embellished cover up. Don’t forget to stock up on sunscreen, water, and magazines, which will store nicely in this Malibu Two-Tone Beach Tote.

Outfit Inspiration for Your Summer Weekend Style

There are many reasons we love summer, but there are just some seasonal activities that are more special than others. You know the ones — you prepare for weeks, diligently planning what to wear and what to bring. To give you some inspiration, we’ve rounded up a few of our favorite looks for special summer outings, styled them for less, and paired them with the perfect Handbag Heaven accessory.

Look ‘em over, grab your gals, and head to the mall. You’ve got some serious shopping to do!

Day at the Pool

Summer Weekend Style: Day at the PoolSummer Weekend Style: Day at the Pool Look

Get the look here!

A day at the pool with the girls is the perfect way to work on your golden-bronze tan! Sport a classic white bikini and an embellished cover-up or sarong for a fun, pool-ready look. She might not be carrying one in this pic, but we would bet that this lovely lady (for Real Houswives fans — yep, that’s Gretchen!) has a beach bag like this Striped Canvas Traveler Tote somewhere nearby. Where else is she keeping her phone, towel, and sunscreen?!

Weekend at the Lake

Summer Weekend Style: Weekend at the LakeSummer Weekend Style: Weekend at the Lake Look

Get the look here!

Weekends at the lake make for memories that last forever, and surely pictures will be taken! While you want to be stylish, you still want to be casual, too. We love this look for its comfy canvas tennis shoes, floral print, and denim skirt. Add a cutesy little bag like this Heart Shaped Crossbody Bag, and you’re ready to spend some time on the dock!

Family Cookout

Summer Weekend Style: Family CookoutSummer Weekend Style: Family Cookout Look

Get the look here!

Dressed up but still casual, this look is absolutely adorable and perfect for a summery outdoor event. High-waisted shorts with a simple, flowing blouse make room for fun accessories and embellished sandals. We can’t see her bag very well, but this Mollie Messenger Bag would suit this look well, don’t you think?

Summer Concert

Summer Weekend Style: Summer ConcertSummer Weekend Style: Summer Concert Look

Get the look here!

Jumping around and rocking to the sounds coming from the stage, you are likely to get hot, sweaty, stepped on, and more. The goal is to dress cool and comfy, but still be on trend — after all, you never know who you’ll meet! You can’t go wrong with a graphic tank and cutoffs, and bold accessories like studs and this Jennifer Patent Mini Satchel are uber cute. A crossbody is the only way to go in this instance!

Trip to the Beach

Summer Weekend Style: Trip to the BeachSummer Weekend Style: Trip to the Beach Look

Get the look here!

Oooh! This look is very South Beach, with a polished vibe that is perfect for any beach vacay this summer. Maxis are very in this season, so pair a bright one with a simple top, heeled sandals, and an animal print clutch before heading out to dinner. The Kara Leopard Envelope Clutch is nearly identical!

Shopping Trip in the City

Summer Weekend Style: Shopping Trip in the CitySummer Weekend Style: Shopping Trip in the City Look

Get the look here!

This summer, a shopping trip in the city is likely in your future. Black and white stripes are huge in this summer’s style file, and we love them worn casually. Pair a simple striped tee with shorts, wedge sandals, and an oversized bag to store all of your credit cards and store receipts! This Alexandra Doctor Satchel should get the job done.

What’s your favorite weekend style?

The Perfect Pair: Spring’s Prettiest Polishes & Purses

When you think of accessories, what comes to mind first? When we think of accessories, we dream of chic, colorful handbags (big shocker, right?!) and perfectly manicured nails. During the Spring 2013 runway shows, we noticed models sporting trends that are beyond-perfect for the seasonal nail scene, and we thought we’d share our observations.

Check out these top five shades, each perfectly paired with one of our fabulous bags!

Nude, Nude, Nude!

Spring Nails & Handbags: Nude

Ever consider going bare? Nude nails were huge on the runway, but this doesn’t mean you have to go naked! Opt for a glossy, nude shade, much like NARS Candy Darling. And how fun is this Hailey Studded Leopard Bag? Right on trend with studs and animal print embellishments, this bag is a perfect addition to your collection this spring!

Walk on the Dark Side

Spring Nails & Handbags: Darker Hues

While lighter shades typically come to mind in the spring, this season is posing to be a year of darker colors — with emerald at the top of the spectrum! From dark greens like this Butter London to black and slate gray, darker shades are one nail trend to give a try this spring. And this sleek Cheryl Structured Bag offers a perfect mix of emerald shading, color blocking, and metallic touches for the working gal!

(Psst…Are you loving emerald as much as us this season? Be sure to shop The Color of the Year in our special handbag collection!)

Miss Metallic

Spring Nails & Handbags: Miss Metallic

Whether you opt for a set of all 10, just one accent nail per hand, or embellishments such as metallic tips or stripes, the metallic nail is another fun trend to be aware of for spring. From sparkly silvers to bronze and pale gold like Essie’s Good as Gold, this is one trend to get excited about! And don’t you just love this Samantha Quilted Handbag? So magnifique.

Bright Like A Diamond

Spring Nails & Handbags: Bright Lady

When the weather begins to warm up, you can always count on brights to make a return! This season, brights of all colors are a go, from blues and greens to punchy reds, much like this OPI My Chihuahua Bites. Smaller handbags and mini satchels are also on-trend this season. We just adore this Jennifer Patent Mini Satchel - the perfect purse for a spring getaway!

White Haute

Spring Nails & Handbags: White Haute

Well this is one we haven’t seen in awhile! Bright white polish is making a comeback, and we have to say that we’re happy for its return! Whether you choose a flat shade or something with a little sparkle, this cheery color is perfect for spring. And this Elizabeth Top Handle Tote is a perfect match! With its two-tone exterior and fun, metallic embellishments, this is one bag that we’re dying to keep for ourselves!

Witchy Women: Accessory Inspiration from the Land of Oz

[Spoiler Alert!]

Always and forever a classic in our eyes, we are thrilled about the release of Oz: The Great and Powerful, the prequel to our favorite childhood movie, The Wizard of Oz. With a superb cast (well hello, James Franco) and mind-blowing special effects, this movie has us excited about more than just the storyline. We’re also compelled by the style of the beautiful leading ladies!

Check out these wickedly (and not-so-wickedly) witch-inspired accessories, and be sure to snag a few of your favorites for spring. Now the only question is: Are you a good witch — or a bad witch?

Glinda

Glinda the Good Witch styleGlinda the Good Witch accessories

Always beautiful, Michelle Williams is ultra-stunning as Glinda the Good Witch! With a palette mostly comprised of silver, gold, and white, we love the feminine sparkles as an update to the original witch’s garb. If this look is for you, opt for items with sequins, glitter, and lace accents. Metallic flats, sparkly headbands, and feminine jewelry are ideal for making you a witchy woman. And don’t you just adore the glittery exterior of this Party Girl Clutch? We think it’s Glinda-approved!

Snag the rest of these accessories here!

Theodora

Theodora from Oz accessoriesTheodora from Oz accessories

Mila Kunis looks delightfully evil as the Wicked Witch of the West! With subtle and seductive touches, we love the fresh take on a western style. To accomplish this look, hunt down accessories in black and red — especially ruby! Floppy hats are perfect for warmer weather, knee-high boots are great for transitioning from winter to spring, and doesn’t this high-waisted belt remind you of a saddle?! Complete the look with an Oz-inspired handbag like this Scarlett Exotic Buckle Satchel.

Snag the rest of these accessories here!

Evanora

Evanora from Oz accessoriesEvanora from Oz accessories

We are completely infatuated with the glitz and glamour of Rachel Weisz’s character as the Wicked Witch of the East! Elegant and completely in style with this season’s emerald shade, this lady-like witch adds wicked wondefulness with black, sparkles, and feathers. This lace cuff bracelet, rose cameo necklace, and feather capelet are perfectly inspired! If she were to carry a purse, we think she would choose something like the Elaine Quilted Bag, don’t you?
