Ok here is my question of the day: What in the heck gives the people at Coach so much time to make new designs every week?? I would love to have that much time on my hands to just be switching it up and changing it around all the time. Unfortunately I don’t have that much time. Not even close. Between moving out of my place now and getting ready for a month long vacation in Europe, I’m busy as ever. But I did make time for some shopping today (of course I find time for what is really important) and as I passed by the Coach store I saw the new Coach Chelsea Bouclé Demi.
I love fall. This new Coach bag is able to add a touch of refinement to your new fall wardrobe which, by the way, is taking over the stores. A small side rant – why is it that in sweltering 100 degree heat do we have velour, velvet, corduroy, and wool in the stores?? Could that not wait just until it makes it back into the 80’s at least?? Anyhow, the bag is trimmed in leather and features a brass ring closure. There are pockets galore with the inside zip pocket, cell phone/multi-function pocket, and back open pocket. Made of imported wool blend fabric with lightweight suede and leather trim, the bag looks like it is made of tweed and sure as heck is not made to be carried around this summer. The dimensions are 8 7/8 x 5 3/4 x 2 3/8 inches. Even though we are all still frying from this unbearable summer heat, this fall bag is ready at Coach for $228.
I just received a thank-you card from my cousin Maddie in the mail for her high school graduation gift. She told me I had to write about the wristlet I got her, so here I am. Actually I can’t believe I did not mention this chic little wristlet by Coach earlier. My cousin, like many of you out there, is not a huge fan of a signature print (Like the C’s on Coach bags, etc). So when I was shopping for her, I wanted to get her something small and practical to use in college that was not hugely flashy. This is where the Coach Hamptons Leather Large Wristlet came into play. As I walked into Coach and gandered at the wristlets (because what college girl would not need a wristlet for everyday use), I realized most of the wristlets were full of the Coach Signature ‘C’ logo pattern. But then I saw this beauty. The Hamptons leather wristlet showed off perforated detail and pebbled leather. It was exquisite. The wristlet draws attention to its buckle tab with magnetic snap closure, is lined with the signature Coach lining, and contains a 12†strap with clip for attaching to the inside of a larger bag or to form a wrist strap. Sizing up at 7 3/8 (L) x 4 (H) the wristlet comes in azure (blue), palm (green- which I bought for her), and yellow. Available at 
Ahh how I love Coach. I do realize that this is the Purse Blog but why not hit the road less traveled every once in a while and feature something totally different and out of the ordinary. Let me place a few thoughts into your head. Spring, flowers, green grass, puppies, butterflies, sunshine, and that one special day that is coming up in your life where you want your significant other to plan the perfect picnic for you. Whether its on the beach, in a park, by the mountains, what better way to set a mood than with a picnic. Now women, you really need to slyly pass this post along to your men to teach that what is is we crave and love…. sigh. Anyhow, back on track. Like I said, picnics are romantic and desired by most if not all women. 
Theres something about spring stripes and brights that brightens up the fashion industry like no other. Browsing 
The tote is considered a small tote, 12 (L) x 7 (H) x 4 (W). But that size is roomy enough to allow an inside zipper pocket, a cellphone and other multi function pockets, and a ring holder to clip in your car keys/house keys or what have you. What I love even more is the zip-top closure, which makes the bag less pick-pocket friendly and less likey for anything to fall out while your skipping along the garden of spring tulips in the park with your loved one.
