This season, the most favored arm candy comes in all shapes and sizes — from the smallest of mini bags to wicker baskets and straw shoppers that are far too chic for just the beach. But if these styles aren't quite your bag, fret not. There is one nostalgic trend that's made its way into the ranks of the most coveted bags of the moment.
If you like your handbags with a touch of the '90s and your clutches sweet like candy, then the beaded bag trend is certainly for you.
