While I am not at all sold on this handbag, it is a viable option for anyone looking to buy a tan leather bag. I will keep my seat at my desk and not get too excited over this bag, but it doesn’t make me cringe either. The Celine Lirine Large Tote is made with tan grained leather and gold hardware and sports the handy perk of a removable shoulder strap.

Again with my being tardy, I am sorry. A brunch date turned into a brunch/talk/shopping date with one of my friends. But she was asking me about buying a white handbag with a little extra flair. I told her I’d look for something, and then wham, I saw this bag from Celine. The Celine Embroidered Leather Bag is designed with nude soft leather and tonal stitched chain link embroidery and silver hardware.

My trip to Italy had some time for fun and much time for business. Vlad and I met up to scour the fashionable streets of Venice, and Kim joined me in Florence, to find out new info on handbags around the world. We hopped in Celine Florence yesterday to inquire about new styles, what is selling, and the perfection behind the simple Celine designs.

I have decided I have a case of OCD. I am sure we all do to some extent. But I have my ‘things’. For instance I must have my keys out and ready before I get to my car or house, I must wash my hands about 800 times when cooking or after riding the sub, and I am a perfectionist.

All of you should be proud of me right now. Usually I am loving so many bags everyday that it is ridiculous and impractical. For the past few days, I have felt very ambivalent to the bags I have posted. Here comes another bag leaving me undecided. While I am under the impression that long and lean is easily accepted, I am not sure that I love that aspect in a bag.

Some bags just don’t do it for me. There is just some special spark missing. When I looked at this Celine Small Leather Messenger Bag I thought to myself, “Yea, so what?” Not that the bag isn’t cute, but there is nothing special about it that makes it stand out from so many other brown bags and makes me want to buy it.

Sorry!! I know it’s lame to start a post off that way, but I have to because of the lack of current posting and upkeep this week. You may not believe me and think I’m just lazy- but this week has been crazy. I flew back from Germany/Europe on Tuesday night with Vlad, moved to a new place on Thursday, and yesterday we flew down to Florida, and directly after we landed we made a 2 hr drive to go see my lil bro in his soccer tournament.
