While doing my yearly holiday shopping I came across the Diane von Furstenberg “Zip Around Python Wallet” and instantly fell in love.
The exterior is made of python-embossed cowhide leather, that’s right, no adorable little snakes were hurt in the process. But what really first caught my eye is the gorgeous turquoise green color called “Reef” – it’s the same color as my Essie “Turquoise & Caicos” manicure. The color is so pretty!
Sunglasses are one of my favorite accessories. I literally buy a new pair whenever I can. To me, a woman can never have enough high heels and sunglasses. Both are fabulous accessories that can make any out a little more glam. Plus, both high heels and sunglasses come in so many different colors and styles it’s hard not to keep buying them! Granted I don’t have nearly as many sunglasses as I do high heels but I sure do love them!
The whole stud trend may have came and went, but I still love them it pieces. I’ve never been the type to follow trends, and if I love a trend so much I will rock it until I feel it’s time to let go of it not the fashion industry. To me, studs go hand-in-hand with the whole edgy look which is what I wear most the the time.
It’s no secret that I love New York but what I love just as much as New York is Shakespeare. He’s one of my favorite writers ever. His stories maybe tragic but they are also full of romance. Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet are definitely my favorites.
I’ve written about the Kate Spade “Newspaper” clutch before but now I bring you the Kate Spade New York “Book of the Month” clutch. Another one of Kate Spade’s master pieces that I absolutely love. It suits New York well, because a majority of New Yorkers do love to read. It’s no surprise when you see hundreds of New Yorkers sprawled all over the city especially around the library and Central park reading.
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner! And what better way to celebrate than with a cute Valentine’s Day accessory? Oh my gosh, my jaw just about hit the floor when I say the new Louis Vuitton Vernis Heart Coin Purse in Leopard! It is so adorable in the Blanc Corail (White/Coral Pink). I love it! But for almost $500? Yikes! I think I might want to save my money and put it toward an actual handbag. So I decided to do a little digging to see what sorts of Valentine’s Day accessories I could uncover for a bagista on a budget. What I found was a collection of affordable accessories that you won’t feel guilty about once it’s time to store them in your closet for about 11 months. So get yourself a little gift this Valentine’s Day! And gentlemen? If you’re out there, then you might want to take note! These are some great gift ideas for that special handbag lover in your life!

I’m currently in the air, on a plane as I write this blog entry. Of course, being a lover of fashion it takes me forever to pack for trips. I have to have numerous outfits and make sure everything matches from head to toe. One thing I found to be utterly annoying as I was packing is that I had no where to put my jewelry. Being someone that has jewelry that matches with different outfits this was a huge problem! I had to search around my house just to find something to put my jewelry in? Definitely not normal in my eyes. After hours of searching, I had to settle for an old lipstick case that was able to hold two pairs of earrings and two bracelets.
When I was browsing through Shop Bop I came across the Felix Rey “Happy Diamond Lady” Jewelry Case. I was instantly drawn to it because you would expect it to be a kids change purse more than a jewelry case. Which is probably a good thing these days with the amount of theft.
Christmas morning can be so exciting, especially for us bagistas! Who knows, perhaps that decent-sized package sitting under the tree is the latest handbag we have been dreaming of!

So if you have a handbag lover on your shopping list, here are some great pick-me-ups that are sure to make her smile! Whether you’re simply looking for a stocking stuffer for your sweetie or you’re wanting to get something small for a friend, you will see that there is a little something for everyone here! So make that list and check it twice, but don’t worry about who has been naughty because these gift ideas are just so nice!
