I saw this beauty yesterday in the LV store. It was calling my name – in French even!It was iridescent like the vinyl of a vintage car’s back seat just pleading with me to hop in and be bad. For close to $900 I couldn’t be that bad even for a bag. Ever. I found this knock off for $239 and although I know it doesn’t have that hypnotic allure of the real LV, I’d be happy to take her… [Read More]

Back at the end of January I wrote a post regarding my love of Bermuda Bags. I was overjoyed when I found that Inthepinkonline.com was selling them as a pre-order set of three reversible covers and even more thrilled to see that they were Lilly’s Jubilee patterns! They finally arrived! First, I was amazed to find them packaged so beautifully in this bright pink box with a vinyl window. It reminded me of a doll box and was so pretty… [Read More]

Tres Tray Chic tagged me for a bag expose’.Thank you! At first I thought, “How exciting! My first tag!”Then I kind of panicked. I emailed my friend and said to her,“What if it’s like taking a peek inside a lingerie drawer expecting to find all Victoria’s Secrets and instead you find the white granny panties with the elastic thread hanging and holes from where you use your thumbs to pull them up.” Do not ask how I know this.

Please excuse the alliteration but I have a penchant for pretty pink purses. My new Lilly tote came in and it is very nice. I don’t know if I love it though because it is very big. The print bag was a nice surprise. I am figuring the duo is a “two-fer” because I love the print as much as the shiny bright color. Here is a snap of the lining. Love it!I hadn’t even taken the tissue off the… [Read More]
