Mulberry Ombre Bayswater Bag

Mulberry Ombre Bayswater Bag I have been a fan of the Mulberry Bayswater Bag for quite some time. There is something so simple yet appealing about the design. And yes, it is not super feminine. It is practical and rugged at times, but beautiful when combinations like purple ostrich and a bespoke green crocodile carried … Read more

Vlad and I were invited to a Martin + Osa Fashion Event on behalf of Glam, along with our new friends from Allie is Wired and Stiletto Jungle. The event was held on April 23 at the fabulous Thom Bar at the Thompson Hotel in New York City. There was no better way to start the night then being greeted by star from America’s Next Top Model Cycle 4 Keenyah Hill. Actually, we ran into her and I was certain I knew her. Not as a a star on a TV show, but as a friend. So Vlad and Allie stood by, watching me exclaiming that I knew her from somewhere and she was indeed an old friend. But she laughed it off and took a picture with me to boot! The party was hosted by Martin + Osa exclusively for Glam bloggers, which was such a treat.

How much is too much for a handbag?

dollar sign While I am a lover of handbags, I do not have an endless pocket book, which means my collection is by no means the largest or greatest out there. I have a collection that I absolutely love though, with my bags ranging in price from $200 to $9000. But how much is too much for a handbag? The Hermes Diamond Crocodile Birkin will cost you the same price as a condo, about $140,000. A ‘Regular’ leather Birkin may cost one year of in-state college tuition. What is the price point that you will never go over?

My monumental purchase was my Hermes Blue Jean Birkin that I got last October. The first feeling that came over me was immense joy. I had yearned for this bag since high school and never thought it would be in my closet. I left the Hermes store with a smile from ear to ear. But when I got to the hotel room a feeling of extreme worry came over me. How could I spend so much on a handbag? Leather? Am I sane? This is ridiculous I thought. It took me 3 days to then take the bag out of the box and love it. Kid you not. Ok begin to laugh. But it got me thinking; everyone must have his or her stopping point. I have not *quite* found mine yet, but I did realize that one Birkin purchase had my heart palpitating like I just ran a marathon. Let’s have a debate, how much is too much for you?
