{Fashionable Friday: It’s All About the Bag}

Uncategorized

January 15, 2010

with last week’s first ever installment of “fashionable friday” dedicated to my favorite ensemble element- the dress, this week i wanted to take a moment to mention the one item we can never leave home without–just like the American Express commercial… my favorite accessory {and yours i’m sure}: the purse!
**and as an FYI to my friends who will be reading this–no i am not blogging on my vacay in charleston– i scheduled this to be posted today-hehe
from an early age, i was a coordinated little fashionista–think of shirley temple if you will, curly hair and all…whenever i left the house, my hairbows, shoes, and purse had to match and to this day, my mother and grandmother let me know just how much of a little diva i was {yes, for those new readers, i am an only child!}
this has continued throughout adulthood and my passion for the perfect handbag continues to this day–the sad part, on last count, i had more than 40 purses–can’t believe i just admitted that. in the back of my head, i know another trip will be scheduled to the local goodwill store before i move in that new house… jeff just won’t have me taking up the entire walk-in master closet =(
with the dreary winter behind us–or that may just be my optimism since retailers are quickly pushing out spring lines–here are some musts to include in your purse stash:

Gold Soho Handbag via Lulus {$34}
Deux Lux Basketweave Satchel via Urban Outfitters {$58}

Big Buddha Mia Tote via Endless {$85}

Club House Bag via Mod Cloth {$60}

Angelina Purse via Francesca’s {$54}

Fresh Leaves Shopper via Anthropologie {$158}

Deux Lux Ruffle Bucket Bag via Urban Outfitters {$68}
