I am. I texted my friend Elizabeth the other night and asked "So...how much is too much to pay for a handbag?" Her response: "If it needs its own insurance policy, it's too damn much." (gotta love E)
I was online at Neiman Marcus...mouth watering over Tom Ford and Prada bags. I'm not sure about the rest of you, but my budget is not 'rich'. I can't afford to pay a couple (or a few) thousand dollars for a handbag. And, you don't have to...you just have to love it. Some of my favorite bags cost less than $20 or $50...and I love them just the same.
Not sure what it is about a woman and her handbags; but there is a long standing love affair there. I have some that are full of personality, with textures and colors. I have some which are very prim and well adorned with simple hardware. I love them all so very much, like little leather and velvet colorful children.
Our bags house our make up, money, keys, sinus meds, business cards, (earrings that were pinching us mid-day)...and we adore them for it. Then there's the style statement: lady bags, rockstar bags, hippie bags, and old trusted bags.
J'adore handbags...and that won't end. Ever. Two of my most carried bags are my neutral Coach bag and my Rachel Zoe hobo bag. (shown here)
If I'm going to run up a credit card bill which takes months to pay off....I'm pretty sure it'll be on a classic (Chanel quilted; a crisp Prada; Louis Vuitton classic logo). Right now, I'm focused on making the world a nicer (and more stylish) place...with a beloved handbag on my arm!!
What are you craving???
Crave-worthy:Tom Ford, Prada, Louis Vuitton, Chanel
One of my favorite 'moods' to sport is what I call sexy tomboy. Today, I paired my pleated tomboy trousers cuffed up, with a denim button down (not so buttoned up) and silver pointy toe pumps. It was an outfit suited for a Monday...a little casual, really comfy and some sexy shoes to boost my Monday blues...
Hope you all have a great (and stylish) week!
My outfit: pants: XXI, shirt: old (dont remember), shoes: Charles David, bag: Kenneth Cole
Finally Friday! What a week it's been...(I won't bore you with the details). If my outfits are indicative of one thing, it would be my mood, for sure. Hum drum and busy, busy, busy!
Thankfully in Texas, the weather is mild. I can get away with comfy lightweight tees and leather leggings.
And b/c its sunny out, I get to sport my new sunglasses: leave it to Tom Ford to do a hybrid aviator-cat eye. YES...metal cat eye glasses; the perfect combo for me.
I'm in L-O-V-E!
Happy Weekend!
My outfit: Leggings: Zara, Tee: H&M, Sunnies: Tom Ford, Shoes: Charles David
