Surprise!!

I love waking up and seeing that Kate Spade has another surprise sale.  The good news, great markdowns.  The bad news, most of this will be sold out before noon!!

I love a cute clutch, for some reason I tend to use a clutch Friday and Saturday nights in the summer.  Maybe it's the heat and I don't want a strap hanging off me, maybe it's because I tend to have extra large purses and they just seem too big and heavy for the summer, maybe there is no reason at all, maybe as the husband says I just need some excuse to buy another purse....

the absolute cutest clutch ever....

I never get tired of the shoppers and their clever sayings....

I always have some jewelry pieces on hand in case I need an emergency birthday gift for a friend, or an emergency accessory dilemma for myself...

finally, this top is just too darn cute!!

Happy Shopping

MUST. HAVE. THIS. NOW

I am dying over this Tom Ford utility bag...

and yes I will also take it in black

It is on NM website but the price is not listed.

That is most likely not a good sign!!

Luck of the Irish

About 2 weeks ago I had a small lucky streak.  I was at a bingo fundraiser (I know, I am not 90 but it was really fun) at my daughters school and won $100

then 2 days later as I was heading down to Florida I got a call from a local boutique, I had "liked" a purse on their FB page for a contest and I won the bag!!  Woot Woot

I finally got around to picking up my purse yesterday and it is adorable.  I LOVE this bag.  It is a super soft buttery leather with brass hardware and tassel detailing.  Until yesterday I had never heard of the line orYany but the shop owner was telling me this is her all time favorite.  They have great color combinations and those small attention to details that can really make a great bag.  You can check out the entire line here.

Well I am off to buy a lottery ticket!!

Bag it!

Even though we are awaiting our second snowstorm in the last 5 days, my mind is definitely on spring.  It might be too cold to wear sleeveless dresses and flip flops, but the time is perfect pack away my big, heavy black winter handbag and bring out some color.

the color block handbag...

the perfect little clutch...

or here...

my all time favorite, I mean how fabulous is this bag!!!

of course for me and bags, the bigger the better.



This number from Steve Madden, that retails for $78.00...

suspiciously looks just like the Clare Vivier clutch....

that you can buy here for $168.00


Of course if you are carrying a new bag, you most likely want to compliment your bag with a little arm party...

all bracelets found here

Off the Cuff

The internet has been buzzing about Miss Jolie's latest accessory to the Toronto premiere of Moneyball...Her Louis Vuitton gold clutch that was actually handcuffed to her wrist...
I can't get a read if people loved it, or hated it? I personally thought it was brilliant, and I absolutely loved it...
What I didn't really love was the $15,000 price tag. Ouch!!

School Supplies

Yesterday, I spent the day shopping for school supplies, uniforms, shoes, lunch boxes and back packs for the up coming school year. This made me think of how my kids start off the year with every thing brand new. Now, I don't carry a backpack anymore, but wouldn't it be nice if moms also got a brand new bag every Fall.

On my "school supply" list would be Gucci....

Gucci again...

Louis Vuitton...Tory Burch...
And this little Kate Spade, for all my pencils:)I wonder if my mom will buy my back to school bag this year?

Why Thank You!

Last week, Kate Spade put her sale on sale. Everything was an additional 25% off.This super cute, super slim clutch somehow found it's way into my house!
