Bucket List!

10 Feb

I recently received my Mansur Gavriel bucket bag after almost two years of waiting. I’ve been wanting this bucket bag for a while and really love the black/flamma combination, which is lined in red leather. I love how simple the design is with a fun pop of color. The bags are highly coveted and made in Italy in small batches which is why they sell out SO FAST! I am totally obsessed with my new bag and wanted to share it with you along with an affordable alternative.

Timeless Monogrammed Handbags!

9 Jan

Who doesn’t love a monogrammed bag- or monogrammed anything for that matter?  I can’t exactly put my finger on why, but I just love slapping my initials on any accessory  that I can. This post focuses on two of my favorite timeless carryalls that will be around for seasons to come. Both of these classic shaped bags have top handles for handheld wear as well as a cross body strap for hands free wear(perfect for busy moms). They are both available in an assortment of rich colors and are made of supple leather. The bags are large enough to hold everything but not too oversized or bulky.  If you’ve been looking for an investment bag that won’t go out of style anytime soon- these are the bags for you. They make a statement without being too “showy” or over the top, making them the perfect bags whether you’re a ‘fancy’ or ‘casual’ fashionista.

Perfect Year Round Crossbody Bag!

19 May

I’m so excited to have received my very first Vince Camuto handbag and will be wearing it all year round. This gorgeous bag comes in a variety of colors, but I opted for black and white. I absolutely love black and white anything and this bag can be worn with burgundy in the Fall and peach in the Spring. Black and white is complimentary to most colors.  The great thing about Vince Camuto bags is that they are beautifully designed( they are reminiscent of Reed Krakoff bags)  are very well constructed.  in fact, they are so well made that I was shocked at how reasonably priced these bags are- I mean they are not $40 bags, but they are also not unattainable like many designer bags are unfortunately.  If you’re on a budget, this bag is worth saving for, but you won’t have to save long! Check out the bag below, I hope you love it as much as I do 🙂

Cold Weather Gear!

29 Jan

Hi lovelies!!! Here is my latest impromptu OOTD post from my Big Bear mini vacation last weekend! Although it didn’t snow, temperatures dropped into the 20’s, so it was quite cold! This outfit was cozy enough but not too restricting as we hiked around and saw the sites! As you can see, I’m also wearing my go-to grey bag by Marc Jacobs! Since I bought this bag almost 2 years ago, I’ve worn it more than any other bag I own and I love it! The great news is that it’s on sale right now!
