Splurge Worthy Totes

My boyfriend asked me what I wanted for my upcoming 25th birthday yesterday, and I had no idea a million ideas to share with him.  Anyone in my family will tell you it's not too hard to shop for me- I'm never shy about sharing what material good my heart is lusting over.  Lately, my eye has been spying the handbag department of Neiman Marcus and just taking a spin through it makes my knees weak.  In reality, I most certainly don't have 2 grand lying around to splurge on a sexy handbag.  But, if I get all my loved ones gathered and explain that they can all go in on a leather tote with a designer label, I just might have a new bag.  Granted that bag will also be my Christmas, Valentine's Day AND Easter present... but you get the picture.  Here are a few bags (on the arms of stylish bloggers) that have me swooning...


Bradley of Luella & June carrying a Celine shopper tote.  Absolutely classic.


Kat, from With Love From, Kat sporting her YSL tote at NYFW.  I love the gold detailing.



And a few great looks from The Blonde Salad.  That Prada is super yum.




Help me decide- which one is your fave?!

In other delightful news, I am guest posting on the Shoptiques blog today.  If you haven't heard of Shoptiques- you need to check them out.  It's a one-of-kind online destination for discovering and exploring local boutiques across the country.  "Offering an expertly curated selection of top boutiques with one-of-a-kind pieces, Shoptiques.com helps women discover, celebrate and even reinvent their personal style with ease by eliminating the hassle of searching through hundreds of sites for the perfect item."  I love boutique shopping, and being able to do it online is even sweeter.  Pretty cool, no?  Here's my post.

  10. I am constantly swooning over the beautiful bags I see on the arms of some of my favorite bloggers. Oh what I wouldn't do to snag myself one! I'm with you on the pooled gift idea. Maybe if I just round up every friend and relative and have them pitch in for a gift that satisfy every holiday for the next five years, then I can get one!

  17. Wouldn't a celine be wonderful? They're so beautiful, and it's also nice because when you take it out it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb like an LV does. Don't get me wrong, LV is my favorite, but sometimes when I carry my carryall I get a bit nervous in certain situations. I really love the mini celine.
