This was one of the hardest bags to get last year, and still is. To make sure you get the real deal, you can order it from Nordstrom or from Net-A-Porter, if they still have it, that is.

The leather is soft and slouchy. It is scratch resistant which you don’t usually get from other designers.  It has a signature logo-embossed padlock and a shiny key dangle from the top. The downside is that it weighs approximately 3 pounds! Yep, it’s pretty much carrying a newborn all the time.

Regardless, I really like this bag. I will get it in a heartbeat if I can afford it. Too bad I can’t. Maybe you can. Goodluck!

She impressed us with her grades so much that we could not say no when she asked us for a Juicy Couture tote. As expected, her dad ordered one from Neiman Marcus http://www.neimanmarcus.com/.

She’s been using this tote ever since. Her most priceless possession….

This style is called Ombre Tote in pink. It has an iconic velour that is artistically finished with ombre embroidery and cascading pompoms. Very cute!

I sometimes borrow it. No one would know it’s not mine.

If you can afford the real deal, then indulge in!  It’s a Nicholas Kirkwood oxford. (http://www.kirnazabete.com/)

For the rest of us, there’s always ALDO. This is called MINTKEN. An oxford style shoes for women. These are as essential as the ballet flats but with an attitude.

Now on sale for $39 and change. http://www.aldoshoes.com/

Our matching Vera Bradley wristlet. www.verabradley.com

It’s a swinging wristlet that can easily transform to a handbag. Bernie has it in “totally turq”. Bianca has it in “cupcakes pink”. I have it in “pink elephant”. Adorable, huh?

After spending $$$ on your new iPad, do you want to cover it with a very iconic Louis Vuitton logo?  You’ll spend additional $366! Still want it?? LOL!

With all seriousness, that’s a little over the top, don’t you think ? Sure, that would be the ultimate luxurious accessory to your new little, magical gadget. Still, that’s crazy! Not unless you’re a bag whore. Kidding.

Go ahead and indulge! I’m pretty sure my husband would not want it for his new iPad. Yes, he was able to get one while we’re on our mini vacation over the weekend. Nah!…I’m a kindle person, not an iPad one. Not that I have a kindle, I’m just saying…..

I have been eyeing these shoes forever.  Found a pair by accident at Von Maur. One of a kind deal that I could not pass. For $14, who wouldn’t want a pair? Originally retail for $60.  I’m just a sucker for bargain finds!

It’s called Steve Madden Kookiee flats. It has a snake-print patchwork detailing. Multi-color with zigzag stitching. Just simply fabulous!

There’s a cute boutique that I visited about 2 weeks ago in the upscale strip mall in the suburb.

The setup is a little intimidating – looks so pricey, but it’s not! It’s actually affordable!

I found a cute sweater that I gave to a friend recently.

According to report, British-born soul singer Joss Stone will bring her bohemian-chic sensibility to the limited-edition footwear line set to launch in August exclusively at Nine West stores worldwide and at ninewest.com (ninewest.com/vintageamerica.)

I really like the booties worn by Katie Holmes. It’s by Vince Camuto (http://www.vincecamuto.com/). The style is called AMBER.  They’re not crazy expensive as the other designer shoes. They’re relatively okay in price.

They’re currently sold out! The only place I can get them in this color in my size is through http://www.shoptheshoebox.com/

I’m still undecided. This is obviously not a necessity.

These are my 2 supermodel wannabes.

Check her out as she struts her stuff! Hhmmm…I see potential in this one…..LOL!

Here’s another one…..

 

It could get very tiring, you know. Therefore, food is the answer. Italian dishes from Macaroni Grill – good fuel for the body.
