White bags after Labor Day

Wearing white after Labor Day is perfectly fine by me.




Fendi mink spy bag is so adorable and so soft. I know that some people do not like when fur is used for coats and bags and such but minks are nasty little animals! Since this bag costs $9,450.00 and is not practical I can pretend it is faux fur and love it from a distance. A girl can dream ya know.

On a another note the BCBG MAX AZRIS Cream whipstitch leather large satchel is so devine. The double handles make this bag and who does not love silver metal feet to protect your bag. My mother always told me that you can tell if it is a good bag if it has feet.

Betsey Johnson

This hobo style shoulder bag made of leather and pure loveliness. It is loaded with studs and rivets but with all this the bag is very lightweight. It has chic shoulder strap with a little chain to it and not to forget the eye-catching studs and grommet accents give this bag a chic style. The functioning outside pockets is perfect for your cell. The outside buckles have magnetic snap closures so you don't have to worry about fumbling awhile you unbuckle. My favorite part is the lining that is black with rosebuds. This bag is a great price at $325.00. This bag also comes in other colors.

New design for Girls Handbook

So the hubby thought the blog needed a little pizzazz and since he offered to help out how could I say no? I think he gave it the extra edge it needed and now it looks pretty damn nice. Thanks to the hubby for hooking Girls Handbook up.

Tanner Krolle

Looking for a new bag? I am totally fascinated by the Tanner Krolle Drawstring Nappa Hobo. I think my fascination is that this company is over 150 years old and is still pulling off a stylish bag. I do have a love hate relationship with all those drawstrings. The price of this bag is $780.00.

Miu Miu

While shopping at Saks I saw this bag and I could not decide how I felt and well I still do not. The suede is so soft and yummy and I like how it has the leather on the bottom to protect itself but the flowers have me a little lost. I thought I would have everyone decide if it is a yay or a nay.
