The Perfect Bag

I have fallen in love with this bag by Alexander Wang!  My sister, Krystal, carries it in a beautiful ivory color with pink gold hardware but I covet this neutral toffee color.  The size is perfect for me because any great bag in my arsenal needs to be able to fit a few Spiderman coloring books and crayons in it!  I also love that it has a two way zipper for the main compartment which makes it easy to get in and out of.  For those who love quality, you won't be disappointed in the double rolled handles or the seam detailing.  This bag is gorgeous! Click here to order yours!

Have you heard about the wine purse?

You read correctly. Wine. Purse. Together as one entity.

I could be wrong but as far as I know both of these items can be found on the females "Top 5 Favorites" list. The list usually looks like this:

1.Shopping

2.Purses

3.Romance

4.Wine

5. ...then chick flicks, men, and traveling are interchangeable.

I'm mostly joking but this product really is perfection and sparks those thoughts, "How did it take so long for someone to come up with this?" and "Why didn't I think of that?"

The Gala Wine Purses include silk, croc, safari, Burmese and quilted patterns. The assortment is so great because the patterns reach several different style preferences. The bottom of each purse is footed and accented in chrome. The lined interior allows for your wine to stay safe and stationary with the help of an elastic strap. Not only is this wine carrier chic and functional, but it also comes with a corkscrew that sits securely against the case near the neck of the wine bottle.


So many restaurants are BYOB, these days, so the Wine Purse would be a great gift and it is incredibly affordable, at just $29.95. At such a reasonable price maybe we should all just purchase one for our own household!

Lady Like Bags are Back...

and I couldn't be more thrilled! After several seasons of oversized hobo bags (which I must admit I appreciated because they worked well as diaper bags!) Grace Kelly's style has returned!

This season, take a cue from your grandmother's closet and search for the ultimate tailored bag. They come in all sizes so chose the size that works for you. Most of them have a handle and some of them come with a detachable shoulder strap. Put some thought into how you will use it and make a choice that works for you.

Here are a few of my favorite trinkets, tokens and treasures:

Treasures:

The Hermes Kelly Bag was named for the iconic Grace Kelly who used it to cover up her baby bump! You don't need a bump to pull of this this look though. It is certainly and investment bag but one that can be passed down for generations. This season, choose one in a fun bold color to accent you fall pieces.BVLGARI's colaboration with actress Isabella Rossollini resulted in a bag that I just adore. Although it also come is a warm camel color, I adore this black bag with it's dark green accents. It is so chic and I am dying to get my hands on one!

Tokens:

Elaine Turner's Jackie Metallic Suede Snake Bag is a fantastic fall choice. It is a lot of bang-for-the-buck at $295. The inside of the putty bag is hot pink which makes me smile and the detailing is wonderful. It also comes in bronze. You will be right on trend with this bag that was inspired by the amazing Jackie O.

Trinkets

On sale now (from $149 to $107.99), you can steal the look from old-school Doctor with the Guess Leona Bag at Macy's. This structured bag comes in Black and Camel (super hot color this season!). I love the modern lines and contemporary take on such a classic style. Unlike some of the other lady-like styles this season, this bag has plenty of room to hold everything you might need for your busy day. It is perfect for the gal-on-the-go!
