With the warm weather we've had this weekend (in Phoenix at least), I thought I'd share some spring inspiration photos taking up space on my desktop. Flowers, clouds and bright colors are just around the corner!

If you're thinking about buying a new bag, I've got a GREAT idea for you- buy one from a company that promotes more than just a style. Angela & Roi, a handbag company started by couple Angela & Roi Lee, makes handbags that are not only minimalistic and chic, but also made with vegan leather! The bags are beautiful, but if you need more convincing, Angela & Roi donates a portion of each sale to a healthcare organization through their Donate by Color campaign. They make large totes, shoulder bags, and cross body bags all with vegan leather-all minimalistically gorgeous. My personal favorite: the mini black cross-body. Check out their website to learn more about the causes they donate to, as well as see the beautiful bags they make!
The mini cross body comes in 5 different colors!
I used to think backpacks were strictly school accessories, Jansport branded bags meant to be stuffed with binders and notebooks and casually slung over one shoulder. But today, backpacks are cooler than ever, and there's SO many variations of your standard school sack: studded, printed, leather, monogrammed. Backpacks are a great alternative to wearing out your shoulder with a purse until you're walking lopsided... I love these simple backpacks by Swedish brand Fjallraven
Herschel Supply Co. is another favorite, I use one for school and it's sturdy as well as stylish.

While most of the country is stuck in an extreme cold snap, bundled in layers, Free People's January catalog has me thinking about spring and summer outfits already. The catalog features "Girls on Bikes", looking perfectly spring-y on the streets of Amsterdam. I know this catalog has been out for awhile now, but I keep coming back to these images for spring inspiration!
