Bag Lust in Orange, Mint and Black

What is it about handbags that women find so alluring? Every time I buy one I swear that it will be my last, but then I find a new bag that catches my fancy. Bags are sort of like Lay's potato chips: You can't just eat (buy) one! Here are some of the bags that have caught my eye as of late. I have different reasons for liking each of them, as well as reservations for why I shouldn't purchase them, all of which you will find below.


Bag Lust in Red, Mint and Black

Here's a brief description of my thought process regarding each bag. I think this is more for me to figure out my own thoughts, but perhaps you will find it helpful too.


I'm drawn to the color dark orange, borderline red, Henri Bendel satchel, but it seems a little pricey for a bag that's not made in Italy. The black Zara cross body is clearly inspired by Chanel's boy bag. To be honest, I would like the real thing, but at $159 compared to $5,000+ for the Chanel, perhaps I should let the price decide?


The kate spade bag Love Birds Wink clutch is super cute, but I have way too many quirky, whimsical bags! (Maybe if it goes on clearance?) Last of all, the Furla mint bag is probably the best bang for your buck. It's made at Italy and priced right at around $500. My only reservation is that I might eventually tire of the mint color? Perhaps I just shouldn't buy any of the bags!

Green with Envy

It's March and that means that Saint Patrick's day is upon us! In the spirit of the upcoming celebration, I am sharing some of the items that I am lusting after in shades of green. The real reason for my post is actually twofold. First, I noticed a pattern of pinning a massive amount of green themed items on my Pinterest board entitled "Fashion Wishlist", especially when kate spade released her spring collection last week filled with shades of green, including lush floral prints and bold green stripes. I literally want everything from that collection so I better start saving the green to afford it!

Second, I thought this would be a fun way to try my hand at Polyvore like the rest of the blogging community. I am always behind the ball in terms of trends, especially when those trends involve technology. So below you will see my feeble attempt to put together a Polyvore set. Enjoy!
