Feeling like you need to lighten up? Prescription: the upbeat coral “Satchel” ($88) by Danielle Nicole, one of many easy options from Ellicott City-bred designer Danielle DiFerdinando’s sweet spring line. “My spring collection was inspired by the beautiful countryside of Italy and its amazing cities—Portofino, Milan, Venice and Rome,” says DiFerdinando, whose bags appeared on HSN for the first time in March. Also look for beautiful shades of mint and blue with an exotic lizard texture, color-blocking or laser-cut details at Nordstrom and South Moon Under. Or grab a bag for Preakness at STYLE’s Off to the Races Fashion Show on May 14—hosted by the Four Seasons and Les Collective—featuring a DN pop-up shop, along with hats by esteemed milliner Christina A. Moore. Visit http://www.baltimorestyle.com/preakness for event details.
