Top Envy-Inducing Bags: It’s Easy Being Green

Kermit had it all wrong. Whether you’re more into high-impact yellow or mighty-potent green, get ready for bright brights this spring. I’m talking retina-searing, almost blinding! The fresh hue of green is traditionally a color signifying growth and renewal in the Spring, but I’m interested in a shade that requires sunglasses. Not quite neon, but not in the warm hunter-green family, either.

It may be slightly shocking at first, but get used to it. You can expect to see everything in green, including glasses and jewelry. So before you become the official color of envy incarnate, grab up a green bag – because (yes, I’m going all out with wordplay today!) the grass is most definitely greener on this side.

2. Michael Kors Gia Ostrich-Effect Leather Shopper: You would think the addition of bumpy texture would be too much, but ostrich succeeds in playing down the effect of a shopper this vivid. On Net-a-Porter for $895.
