Handbag Lover

I love Friday’s and I love expensive handbags so I thought it would be a fab idea to blog about all the bags I want on my favorite day of the week…. I mean who does not want to start their weekend dreaming about things they love!

D&g dolce & gabbana lily leather satchel, mustard $1,095.00

I know it can be a crazy color for most but it comes in black but it has a super soft leather and I know it looks a little like you can stick your bowling ball in it but I just love this style which coincidentally so does my older sister…. maybe it is a family trait or something. The simplicity of this bag is just great since it will never go out of style or the bottom of the bag will never get too dirty since it has my favorite little metal feet.

Seahorses

I have to admit that I am not an avid shopper at the GAP when when I saw their new line of Seahorse print I thought it was so cute that I had to snag some for myself. The print is absolutely adorable and with keeping with the hot nautical theme for the Spring/Summer this fits in just perfectly.

Seahorse halter top $32.50 & Seahorse low rise bottom $32.50



Seahorse keyhole one-piece $48.00

Rope bag $29.99


Fabric ballet flat $39.50

This little shoe is perfect if you are only ready to sport the horses on your feet. These shoes would look so cute with jeans!

White Bags

Who says that you cannot wear white after Labor Day? White bags are really trendy now and all of the famous and not so famous designers have made some really lovely bags. Some of my latest finds are.

Celine Small Double Tote $1800

This lovely little number actually comes with a rather large matching clutch which is pretty awesome if you ask me. Since the bag is not in the stores yet you can pre-order here .

Jimmy Choo $1,895

Double top handles with a magnetic snap closure to keep in all your goodies. I particularly love the three outside zip pockets.
gotta have this bag .

Banana Republic Bedford pocket shoulder bag $178

This bag comes in 5 different colors and I have to say this is a great bag for your buck. The leather is extremely soft and very practical for work or for the ladies who love to wear one bag for weeks at a time (you know who you are). go ahead and look .

BCBGMAXAZRIA SALE: $134.99

This is such a cute hobo with all the little pockets and perfect for your shoulder and what a great
price .

Well it is true that I am a big fan of extra pockets in the front or the side of a bag!

Loving the Clutch

Right now I am really into using a clutch. I love big bags but sometimes you just want to carry a few things and run out the door.

Lauren Merkin Metallic Eve Clutch $180


Michael Kors Envelope Clutch, Blush or Taupe $295
I have to admit that this post really started with this clutch. I really love how it looks like you are carrying a little envelope.


Goldenbleu Tiffany Patent Clutch $455

Jimmy Choo Patent Clutch $750

B. Makowsky Metallic Clutch $98.00
This comes in Bronze Metallic,black leather and champagne metallic. I am really digging the green since it reminds me of summer and fresh cut grass.

Wet Seal Reptile Hard Hinge Clutch $12.50.

This comes in hot pink and silver. This is actually a really cute clutch and it is so cheap that you can get both colors. I like that it is hard it has a certain vintage feel to it.

Rachel Pally Short Caftan Dress in Blue $229

This dress also comes in black and is so comfortable since it is made out of jersey material that you will want it in both colors.

Dolce Vita Wedge Boot $286

I love this knee high boots and especially the platform heel that gives me a little needed height but will not totally kill my feet since they are platforms.

Spring is on it's way and designers have their totes out for everyone to purchase.

D&G Dolce & Gabbanna Beach Bag for $230

Marc by Marc Jacobs Miss Marc Canvas Tote $268

This canvas with leather trim bag is also a bit on the eclectic side and is truly only for the ones who will really love it.

Marc Jacobs

I have always been fascinated by Marc Jacobs. He is truly a talented and well respected fashion designer. His bags are often worn by celebrities and bagaholics around the world.



Marc Jacobs Bal Harbour Satchel $1,275.00. I love the eggshell soft leather and especially how you can detach the gold chain if you are not feeling it. It has the famous signature buckle on the front and love the ruched leather which gives it a totally new look. So far I have seen this bag in eggshell, moccasin and khaki.





Marc by Marc Jacobs Multi-Pocket Bag $358 I still have a soft spot for the multi-pocket bag. I love how you can stick everything in all those little pockets and everything can have its place, I feel this is good for the part of my brain that likes to pretend it has a Type A personality.



Marc Jacobs Striping Trish $1,350.00. This round barrel bag also has shiny leather stripes that come in either dark brown or black and the leather has been treated to look cracked. I personally like how the shoulder strap is removable so it will not get in the way when you just want to carry the bag on your wrist.



Marc Jacobs Striping Hudson $1,350.00. You can get this bag in either Chestnut or Black. I love the two top zipped pockets that can help you organize all of your stuff. The cracked leather with shiny leather stripes totally makes this bag into one hot commodity.
