Bag It: The Celebrity Accessory Trend That's Turning Heads Now

We couldn't help but notice the flashy arm candy in each of these casual celebrity style moments.


We couldn't help but notice the flashy arm candy in each of these casual celebrity style moments. No, not a single one of these style setters' looks screams "look at me!" — and yet we can't seem to avert our eyes from the bright pop of neon accompanying each otherwise-understated outfit.

It seems Miranda Kerr, Jenna Lyons, and Jamie Chung are on to a very clever bit of styling (go figure!). Miranda kept it simple in denim and a button-down, but added a brilliant citron Michael by Michael Kors bag, for a trip to the airport. Jenna added life to a button-up and trousers with a bold Proenza Schouler PS11 bag (note the perfectly nonchalant crossbody styling), and Jamie Chung furthered her street-style prowess with a neon chain-strap bag in tow. After reviewing all three brightly accessorized ensembles, we're left with one thought: all it takes is a great bit of citron arm candy to liven up a whole look. Shop below and prepare to transform your Summer style with a single accessory.
