Stylewatch: Adriana Castro

For those of you who frequent APB, you know I'm a glorified bagista (love this term - thanks BagTrends!). Nothing beats a great looking purse to complete a look, especially those rare pieces you won't see every girl on the street with. Colombian designer Adriana Castro delivers just that with her handmade one-of-a-kind collection made of exotic materials. Remember ladies, skin is in! Castro's high-quality accessories are characterized by bold colors, intricate design, and a fresh take on classic style. Her clutches in particular make me swoon. Here are some flicks of her fab collection.


The blue/magenta python Eva clutch and the yellow/lizard clutch need to be in my closet - STAT! APB isn't the only one giving Ariana Castro's designs some attention; the line has been featured in Women’s Wear Daily and Vogue, the bibles of fashion. Celebrities also love the brand - Jennifer Lopez, the Kardashian sisters, and Heidi Klum are a few of the many well-known fashionistas who subscribe to Adriana Castro's elegantly stylish brand. Peep some of these famous fetales rocking their clutches below.

The collection ranges in price from $150-450 for accessories, and handbags from $800-3000. It is worth the splurge! And you never know, you may catch a sale :) Ariana Castro is sold internationally in luxury stores like Saks Fifth Avenue and Henri Bendel and high-end boutiques (on second thought, there may be no sale to be caught at these places). In any case, I am currently scheming on owning a piece, and you should be doing the same.
