baggin it.

With fashion week just around the corner- this month is going to be dedicated to some hard core fashion.  We're going to be talking about things from bags to britches. 

As you can see from the post title- this one is all about the bag you bring it in.  It doesn't matter if it's large or small, designer or target- it only matters what it looks like; on the inside and out (just like my momma always said:)).  Here are some of my favorite bags for the season, and with spring just around the corner- feel free to carry it off with a print or "happy-go-lucky" color!


the cutest EVER.  It comes in an array of items; clutch, wallet, or coin purse.  I love the mix of vintage and romance pulled into one.  Take this one with you out on V day!

Yep.  It's the remix of the 80's but a thousand times better!
These are cheap enough to grab a couple for each outfit-
I love a good envelope clutch and when you've got it, you've got it.

I might just start getting into photography if I could have this sucker around my shoulder!
Love the colors and of course, the "it" bag of the season- the camera case.
I might just be off to my local antique shop, scouring the floor for a nice vintage version (and a little less pricey).

If you haven't seen these- now is the chance to jump at ANY bag you have ever wanted.
These designers are totally genius!!!
From the ever classic Hermes Birkin to the quilted Chanel, they have channeled the perfect gym/diaper/throw all your crap into one bag, bag.
They go fast, so when you see it, you better jump.

Perfect bag to take you into the spring and then into the fall, and then into the spring, and then...well, you get it.  It is the perfect bag for any season.  The richness of the color and the "surprise" compartment at the bottom.

how could you turn down this cute bag!  A carry all for those summer days ahead.  Pretty perfect if you ask me.

The classic stripe.
awww, I just love it anywhere and everywhere and apparently, I am not the only one.  Otherwise, this french staple would have been long gone in the days of Audrey but it seems to only become stronger.

The colors of the season- tangerine and fuchsia.
What a great combination- try it as an outfit: with a pink blouse and tangerine pencil skirt- add nude heels to elongate those legs- voila- you have an outfit for the office or a girls night out!

I love the mix of the neutral bag with the bright pattern.  Great addition to a basic t-shirt and jeans.

Still going strong with our tribal wear. This is a great bag for spring and summer-
Plus- you can wear it as a messenger which brings it up about a thousand notches in my book!

Pink is reigning again this season.  It has been spotted everywhere.  Carry this bag at all times.  It too cute not to.

now here's one for the art lover in all of us.
I wish I painted this one, but at least while I walk around with it, I can admire the art in hand.

This reminds me of the old hardware store bags that you can find all over chinatown.
I always wanted my own.
Now it looks like I can have one that will sit comfortably on my shoulder.

Take a little leopard with all the bold colors this season and you are sure to be a hit.

and we end with an all time classic.
the classic above all classics.
although on this particular one I have chosen to go with a pastel pink;
1- because valentine's day is coming up and...
2- because spring is coming up
and what better way to lift your mood than with pink and chanel!

how was your weekend?

the weather was cold- which was to be expected but a couple major things happened...
the first parade saluting our troops in STL was a huge success.  People lined the streets, made signs, wore shirts, just to thank our troops for our freedom and what they have done for the country.  It was a pretty cool sight.






 the second awesome thing was that I went bowling...
Pernikoff Brothers were amazing (as always).  They are crazy talented and Mark and I enjoy ourselves so much when listening to them.
Next door to Pageant is a place called "Pin up Bowl", we used to go there all the time...but with a little girl that likes to go to bed at 8- it's a little more difficult these days.  We joined some friends and had a blast- as one always does while bowling.


my husband beating everyone... I used to be so good!

changing into my bowling gear (notice my diy glitter boots?  they surprisingly didn't come off!)
