Oh, Coach...

Hi, readers...If you're still out there!  Ha!  It's been a minute, but hey, what a nice surprise, right?   So, I got this email from Barneys NY about "Vintage Coach"  and I'm really not a Coach fan.  A bit too conservative for me, but sometimes you need simple and conservative. Well, I have since taken that back after seeing their new collection...Coach classic styles with spice!  I use to rock Coach back in college. Yep, I had the Bucket Bag in dark brown.  I still have the bag and it's still in great condition. Fast-forward to today, I would love to add one of these lovely new Coach bags with Fringe!  Yes, fringe! Next to fur and sequin, I love fringe!  A bit too pricey for me at the moment, but a girl can dream.  Another one added to my wish list!

Here are a few more I'm loving...

Gucci inspired!!!

Happy Tuesday!!!

The Everyday Bag...

What do you carry everyday?  I carry this or this simple leather tote almost everyday unless I'm going out on the town, then I  pull out a simple clutch.  Totes are so easy to throw it all in and go.  Simple silhouettes in soft leathers and in a rainbow of colors makes them irresistible.  Soo....if you don't have one you gotta get one.   I've got my eye on that R.B.of McD navy tote!  Great as a transition bag into Fall.  

Here are some of my favorites...

Need A Suede Bag...

In the midst of packing our house up, I've been going through my clothes and accessories. Looking through my handbags, I noticed I didn't have a nice suede bag I could bring out this Fall. Boy, that's a shame. So, I'm on the hunt for a lovely, but affordable suede handbag. Preferably a tote or satchel. Some folks reading this(wink wink) might say you don't need another anything...lol!  What do they know? 


These are the one's that caught my eye...

1. Suede Satchel by Dooney & Bourke
2. Snake Suede Shopper by Zara
3. Suede Leather Hobo by Arcade
4. Chelsea Suede Pocket Flap by Coach   
5. Alpha Suede and Leather Shopper by Alexander Wang
6. Large Bag w/ Lapel by Zara

I am really feeling the A. Wang bag and the navy bag from Zara. I'm feeling I want a nice rich brown or black one.  Get the basics before I get crazy with the colors. The basics are always best! Really, there weren't too many I was feeling under $400. Ha! 

What do you think? 

And I'm off and running...
