hot and cold

I'm a handbag girl. I buy more purses than shoes or clothes, just because I get bored with them so easily! Most of my bags are neutral blacks and browns (probably explains the boredom) but suddenly I've been drawn to all of these unexpected colors!
Alexander McQueen, Foley + Corinna
Marc Jacobs
Rebecca Minkoff, BCBG Generation

Like I said, unexpected! I wouldn't normally go for the steely blue Marc Jacobs, pearlized amethyst BCBG, and dainty seafoam mint Alexander McQueen. The muted tones would add the perfect understated touch to any summer outfit, while the bright metallic and sunny coral reflect summer's happy-go-lucky feel.

I lloooovvee this grey-blue bag with warm, light neutrals and cool-toned silver jewelry.

F21 pendant, Ports 1961 dress, Aurélie Bidermann ring, Marc by Marc Jacobs satchel, Enzo Angiolini wedges

This week is full of preparations for my sister's wedding next week! Can't believe it is already here!

  9. Ooh! I am in love with all the bags that you have posted! I think my favorite is the Alexander McQueen bag, simply because I have never gravitated toward a bag in that shape and it just looks like it would be a cool bag to have! I like the way you styled the Marc by Marc Jacobs bag. I love the mix of metals!

  13. Apparently I'm so picky that I have yet to find that perfect bag, haha... I just can't find any that I can't also find something wrong with! I do like that BCBG one though. Gah, I dunno. I want to find a brown leather across-the-body one, not too big and not too small, without a bunch of bling on it. Just simple. WHERE ARE YOU, DREAM BAG? Sigh. Anyways, congrats to your sister on her wedding! That's so exciting! :D

  19. UH HUH I HEAR YA GURL. Bags are the best - you can never have too many. They all serve different purposes! (That's how I justify myself, at least. ahhah.)

    LOVE THE MCQUEEN ONE. eeek. Perfect colour.
