Current mood: blissful
I am definitely NOT a fashionista though I long to be one. I just can't afford it. I love surfing fashion sites to see what the new trends are, I love picking up the latest fashion magazine to see celebs do their "trend setting" things they love to do in front of the whole world. I love shoes, I really love jeans, I'm fond of shirts, and skirts, hair, make-up, jewlry, the whole nine yards. But when a celeb is caught on camera floating down the crowded streets or in the airport or wherever they get caught always looking fab, if she is carrying an amazingly gorgeous handbag I don't look at anything she has on...just the bag!
Bags happend to be the sugar for my sweet tooth. I used to get on dooney.com daily and visit my local Dilliards/Macy's weekly. I did this just to window shop of course becasue I don't make "Coach" money. I just stuck to buying cheap bags from stores in the mall that I could afford. But my heart would ache.
I got my first and only Dooney & Bourke for my 18 bday from my amazing boyfriend. Love that purse! It started something that couldn't be stopped. I whined all the time for another lol. But I could never buy myself one. My mom bought me a baby Coach handbag when she visited the Bahamas later on and I about died.
My taste in bags evolved. My Dooney was small and my Coach tiny. I began wanting bigger and bigger bags. A friend of mine gave me one of her old Louis Vuitton bags that was pretty big, bigger than my other bags. It was my new best friend. It remained my new best friend for a very long time.
I eventually got over being purse crazy and made myself realize I wouldn't be getting any fancy purses for a while. BUT, recently I saved up some cash and decided that now was the time to buy myself a new bag...since I really hadn't bought myself one ever.
Of course I wasn't going to be able to afford a Coach, Dooney, or even a Guess (which was what I really wanted) but I figured I could afford something nice still. So I went to Dilliards today and cruised through their bags on sale. I saw a few Guess bags but not ones that were big enough (haha) but I did find a very plain yet big Kathy Van Zeeland bag. I had liked her bags for a while but didn't find one striking enough to beg for. This one was on sale and pretty much what I had invisioned because I wanted something that didn't stick out extremely, was large, and very classy. Check it out!! I hope I didnt' start something ;)
I've been slacking on the updates on this blog. More recent updates on my twitter!
