Madeline Chadwick :: Obsession Continues...

I finally did it.  Yes it may be close to a year after my first post about her bags here but I finally pulled the trigger.  I have been searching for a new cross body and have come close several times until I woke one morning to an email saying that MADELINE CHADWICK commented on a post of mine.  Yes, THE MADELINE CHADWICK. I sat straight up in bed and of course a day that starts off like that is a great one.  I informed her that I was still in love but when I start mulling over what color of something to buy it literally can last 3 years until I finally do it. So I told her what colors I was thinking about and she informed me that she thought I should get Sand because it would be the most classic for everyday wear or a night out.

I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING!!! It's weird how in tune we are with each other.... So I did it. I purchased this beauty last night and I can't wait for it to be in my hands.

Buy your own here.

I mentally decided that when I love it as much as I know I will, I may go back for a pop of color.  And then of course there's this little beauty that would be an investment but TOTALLY WORTH IT.

Obsessing Over :: Madeline Chadwick

I am in the market for a new bag.  I know exactly what I want, the problem is my bank account can't afford it.  Browsing online tonight I think I finally found the next one...

Madeline Chadwick :: Steel Blue Lucy :: $175

Madeline Chadwick :: Canary Yellow Lucy Bag :: $175

I'm leaning toward the Steel Blue with the pink stitching.  I think this would be the perfect complement to ALL of my outfits.

Dreaming of... New Work Tote.

I have been dreaming of a new work tote... yes these are the things that occupy my dreams.  It's market time so I am immersed with seeing buyers come in with work totes all day long.  I recently saw this bag on Pinterest but the one pictured is a Celine bag out of my price point.  

An adorable buyer came in and had a complete twin of this bag so I immediately ran over to question it's origin.  I was so happy to hear it was Neiman Marcus's own brand.  I just looked it up online and I am even happier to report it is actually at Neiman Marcus Last Call and only $75!! I assumed at least $150... nope.

Look at all of the colors you can choose from too...

Even the last little cutie that is longer.  I honestly can't decide what color.  My initial reaction is pink or navy but I think I may go yellow or orange.  Thoughts???

Bag Obsession...

I am completely obsessing over my dream Chanel bag lately after trying it on my arm {bad idea... I can't sleep or eat without thinking about how much better all of that would be with it...}. I have tried to find something comparable.  Instead... I found this gorgeous beauty.

Lanvin :: Happy Shoulder Bag :: Quilted Logo :: $1800

I couldn't even decide which hypothetical color I wanted.  So why not all three! This pretty little lady is by Lanvin and is actually called the Happy Shoulder Bag... I mean stop! You can't just name a bag the Happy Shoulder Bag and not want people to be happier then anything with it! It's so perfect with the cute little bow and the bamboo turn lock. The issue is this doesn't really help the Chanel bag lust... although it knocks a couple grand off it's still not in the right ball park... {sigh}.

Lanvin :: Happy Shoulder Bag :: Embossed Leather :: $1975

Lanvin :: Happy Shoulder Bag :: Embossed Snake Leather :: $2275

Looks like I will need to do find a completely different bag to cover my lust for now....

Update: Current/Elliot for Kate Spade!

So if you remember I posted about Emily Current and Merrit Elliot designing the "Westward" Collection for Kate Spade here.  This is mostly groundbreaking because Kate Spade has NEVER done a collaboration before.... also groundbreaking because the 2 companies are SO different from each other.  Here's an update to the FABULOUS bags they came up with.

Aren't they amazing?! I can't handle the sequin duffle bag... I have to own that!! {although it runs a steep $1,295 ... so I won't...}.  It's made with Italian tan vegetable leather and burnished metallic sequins. Gorgeous!! The lining is black and white stripe which makes it oh so Kate Spade. Aren't they all pretty great though? I am still mystified that these 2 completely different brands came together and did a great collection that personifies them both! Now lets see if it sells or if I can own one of these at 75% off....

You can get all these bags at Kate Spade.  they run from $545 for the clutch to $1,295 for the duffle like I said... not cheap but if you can afford it they look like they might be worth it!
