You may have noticed that I was a little MIA (missing in action) last week. I spent most of the week driving from the West Coast to the East Coast. For those of you who have never experience a cross-country drive, it was a long one. My brother flew out to California and did the drive with me, which made it much more exciting. But leading up to the drive itself, I did a complete top to bottom cleaning of my apartment which included assessing all of my belongings. So as you can imagine I got caught up on my handbag collection.

While going through all of my bags, I was once again reminded about my lack of cross-body bags or even good/new shoulder bags. I do have several shoulder bags, but I think it is time for me to diversify my collection a bit. No reason not to, right? (more…)

Recently, I’ve found myself liking just about every Cole Haan bag that I come across. However, when I started thinking about Cole Haan handbags, I realized that we mostly cover bags on the larger end of the spectrum, you know, great totes, hobos and satchels. I am not complaining here, but I noticed there is a lack of smaller Cole Haan bags like clutches. (more…)

Ohhhh, this bag is shinny. I’ve already begun thinking about what I might do for New Years Eve and when I start thinking about that, I can’t help but start thinking about what I am going to be carrying. I have no problem picking out the clutch first and worrying about the outfit afterward. The DKNY Fold-Over Metallic Clutch is a great option for a New Years Eve clutch which could be carried as an evening bag for so many other occasions. (more…)
