Rebecca Minkoff, M.A.B. Medium Colorblock Tote
The second I spied the Rebecca Minkoff MAB Medium Colorblock Tote in Electric Blue/Black… I was obsessed. This season, I’ve been coveting all things cobalt, and the added interest of basic black pulled me to this bag like a siren song. [Read more…]

I’m not sure about you, dear readers, but I can smell a Gucci Sale opportunity as well as I can detect a rose. And it’s coming!
And the marked down goodies can be accessed by CLICKING HERE. Personally, I’m a bit disappointed by the small selection of handbags currently marked down. But… I guess that means business is booming for Gucci, and good business is good news for all of us!
Anywho, cruise on over and check it out. Let me know if you pick anything up! I keep mulling over the ‘GG twins’ medium boston bag with interlocking G ornaments for $689. Super-cute!
Missed it? The official sale will begin on 6/3/11, at Gucci.com.
Available for pre-order on ToryBurch.com, the Tory Burch Robinson Shoulder Bag for Spring 2011 is available in Cricket green, Poppy Red and Sake gold. I’m not sure how I feel about the 80s inspired color palette. I remember investing in a yellow Gucci way back when (and my BFF snagged a green one). BOTH of us lived to regret that decision!
Still… I am smitten with the Robinson. It’s streamlined and elegant. It’s also the ultimate Mom-bag. The high-quality Italian leather is textured, and scratch resistant! I can’t tell you how much heartbreak I have experienced, when my little ones destroy my prized accessories!
The Tory Burch Robinson measures in at 6″ high, by 8.5″ wide by 2″ D. The strap drop is 6″. Retail price is a reasonable $325.
If you’re looking for a slightly roomier version, you can grab the bag in basic black for $375.

 Any Mom will tell you… the reasoning behind bag selection is vastly different once you have little ones to consider. My bag du jour is the Linea Pelle Dylan shoulder bag. I love it for its versatility and style. Four outer pockets not only look chic, but organize hard-to-find items that would normally get lost in a bag of this size. A zipper runs along the entire length of the bottom of the bag, allowing the carrier to increase the storage size of the bag to tremendous proportions while on the run. Practicality aside, Linea Pelle’s Dylan is a slouchy, shabby chic that just fits my “jeans and t-shirt” style perfectly. And, the leather is so buttery soft, you won’t be able to keep your hands off of it! Retail price is $395.Click HERE to shop Linea Pelle. |
 Who says that a necessity can’t also be an accessory? I’m not usually a fan of ear buds, but I adore Grunge Buds by Atomic9. Each set of Grunge Buds can fit three different ear sizes, and can be used for music, or to chat on your phone! A strategically placed clip ensures that your device doesn’t pull your ear buds from your ears. Retail price is $39.99 per set. Click HERE to head to the Atomic9 website, to check out Grunge Buds! |
 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month! This compact, part of Estee Lauders “pink” product lineup from 2009, is still housed comfortably in my bag. I take such good care of it, because it’s a tiny piece of luxury in a very unluxurious life! It also serves as a constant reminder to be aware of how many women are affected by breast cancer. Retail price for this beauty was $55 last year, and I can’t wait to see if a new design will be introduced this year!www.esteelauder.com |
