Bucket List

I am a pretty handbag obsessed person. While I personally favor totes and cross-body styles, the "bucket" bag is definitely the new trend this season. I personally remember this pouch like purse growing up when my sister had a similar style from Coach.  Doesn't it seem like all trends eventually make a full circle and come back in style, which leads me to having to ask, are you willing to give trends a second chance???

Cash or Credit - Totes

In important news, has anyone seen the atrociousness that was gifted to Kim K by her man this Christmas? The $40,000 hand painted Birkin bag is the work of American artist George Condo, who previously worked on some album covers for Yeezy. Thankfully this bag is one of a kind, because do we really need more then one bag painted with naked women with monster faces?! In an article I read online, one person summarized this bag perfectly..."it has the aesthetic appeal of a tragic car accident". For those of us that do not have or would ever spend that kind of money on a bag, I put together a little cash or credit round up of totes that are worth carrying around at all different price points.

Beaded Beauties

Adding some extra sparkle to your look doesn't always have to come in the form of jewelry. I have always adored a beaded evening bag to dress up jeans and blazers or to give a more formal look a little extra something. While major designers like Marchesa and Jason Wu make extraordinarily beautiful embellished bags you don't have to spend $3K+ to get the look. Just take a looksie at the adorned beauties below that are all under $250!
