As I shared on my Instagram story today, My beautiful brick colored Mansur Gavriel suede bucket bag has arrived! I purchased it through the online sample sale at half off….. The bag is still half off for a limited time!!!! Bucket bags are going to be huge this Fall, and this texture and color are so perfect for fall!!!!! Shop Brick bucket bag HERE!
Note* This bag size is called the “mini” but it measures 10 inches tall, so it can hold a good amount of stuff. It’s not that mini at all!
Looking for a great festival bag or an easy breezy bag for the warmer months? Well, I stumbled upon the cutest bags at Forever 21 this weekend. One is a small cross body bag with tassel detail, and the other is a clutch with fringe detail. Both bags are perfect for Spring & Summer and match everything. Priced under $33, they are budget friendly as well.
Genuine suede fringe clutch $32.90
Crossbody bag with tassel detail $17.90
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.
Mansure Gavriel bucket bags come in a variety of colors and sizes. You can choose from various colors for the lining as well. These bags are highly functional and move from day to night effortlessly.
Mansur Gavriel $395-$695 (depending on size.)
Urban Outfitters Budget friendly alternative (just a gorgeous)$44
Phillip Lim’s Pashli bag has been a HUGE success among fashion bloggers and bag loving ladies for some time now and the mini version is just as popular. The original Pashli bag retails for upwards of $895 while the mini starts at $695 depending on what material you choose. When Lim collaborated with Target last year and designed a similar version of the coveted bag at a fraction of the price, fashionistas lined up to get their hands on the affordable version and it quickly sold out. Since then, there have been quite a few similar versions but I must say, this Forever 21 version made me look TWICE and it retails for less than $25!!!!! Check it out!
Today the highly anticipated Phillip Lim for Target collaboration launched!! Target stores in my area opened at 8 am and they all had lines. I got my magazine, chair and bottled water and headed to my local Target, I arrived at 6:45am and I was the FIRST in line!!! Wooohhoooooo! Needless to say, I was able to get both of the bags that I wanted! Everything was going smooth until the bags ran out, the workers came with more on carts and that’s when the stampede started, people were pushing and shoving their way to the cart before they could even restock the shelf! After that, the bags were gone – only five minutes had passed! By the time I left there was still a good amount of clothes left and I hope everyone got what they wanted! As a shoe and bag LOVER, I will go on record and say this is my favorite collab since Jimmy Choo for H&M! Until the next collaboration!!!!

My 2 new loves!!!!
Earlier this year I announced my “colors of the year”- Emerald and Lavender were the frontrunners and I still feel the same way. I have been pretty obsessed with purple anything lately but am partial to the light & feminine lavender hue in particular…the pretty pastel screams Spring and is so adorable! There is no better way to incorporate new colors into your wardrobe than with a gorgeous new bag! Lavender pairs especially well with camel, navy, white and other pastels and is quite versatile for a candy color. Love color? wear your lavender bag with a floral dress or pant for the ultimate Spring look.
