Rihanna Takes Paris
I know this happened last week, but Rihanna’s rendezvous in Paris still blows my mind. Not only did she get to visit the city of lights but she also got to mingle with Azzadine Alaia, Olivier Rousteing, and pose like and with a photo of Coco Chanel. Fortunately Rihanna was nice enough to share this experience through her ever-entertaining Instagram account. Followers went inside of Coco Chanel’s apartment, to dinner with “Mr. Alaia,” and to the Balmain showroom.
There is no doubt newly single Rihanna is living the life. Eat your heart out Chris Brown!
In the meantime, lets drool over her trip.

Handbag Trends: Fall 2013
Fall 2013 is on the horizon and it is our job to be prepared. Crocodile leather, pony hair, metal hardware, day clutches, matte black, and backpacks are all in style. After investigating the heavy hitters in the designer handbag category I found the bags that we just need.
Chanel, Celine, Proenza Schouler, Prada, Versace, and Balenciaga all made our list and are at the forefront of the movement. So let it sink in and be ahead of the ever-changing curve because this fall has so much arm candy to offer.
Alexander Wang for Balenciaga Fall 2013 -
I don't care what people say about this bag, it is gorgeous.
Prada Fall 2013 - I could probably fit my cell phone, wallet, make up, extra pair of shoes, and my dog in this clutch but that doesn't mean it isn't simply stunning. Red crocodile is so my weakness.
Celine Fall 2013 - Just looking at this bag makes me excited for fall.
Chanel Fall 2013 -
Pony hair + Boy Bag = LOVE
Chanel Fall 2013 -
Side note, this Boy Bag is less structured than the typical Boy Bag and was held down the runway as an oversized clutch... genius.
Proenza Schouler Fall 2013 - This color is amazing and ostrich leather is more amazing.
Celine Fall 2013 - Matte black makes me feel sleek and stylish. This bag might be my favorite.
Versace Fall 2013 - I don't think you can fit your Macbook Pro in this, but who said fashion was functional? This backpack is a great statement for those bold enough to make it.

Trendabl Top Ten Summer Trends
TGIFS! Thank god it’s f**king summer.
Memorial Day marks the beginning of the best three months out of the year and it is finally here. For those fashionistas out there, summer is more than just bronzing and bbqs - its about what you wear in the warm days to come. Browsing the look books of some of our favorite shopping sites (Revolve, Planet Blue and Nasty Gal - to name a few), we compiled a list of the top ten things you need in your closet this summer. From tie-dye to tropical prints, we’ve got you covered. Just don’t forget the most important accessory of all - SPF - because a burn is never chic. Until next week! xx
