Yes, that is Olivia Palermo with my bag!! Haaa! I'm kind of excited about this. lol I mean, I think most would agree that Olivia is a bit of a style icon, so it's really cute to see that she went for the same bag that I fell in love with. 

Here's my baby...

I ended up going for the lighter color. I just thought it would suit me better. Also good to know is that Zara also carries this bag in a beautiful deep red and they retail for €119,-.

Clearly I'm having a bit of a bag phase... ; )

Choices Choices...

From the very first time I saw this Zara bag, back in December, I just knew I had to have it. And since I'm not getting designer sunglasses this year, I figure I'm allowed the €119,- "splurge". The only problem is which one to get?

I've narrowed it down to these 2 colors:

What do you guys think? I'm leaning towards the lighter color, because

a. I don't own any bags that color yet...
b. I think that just as with my MK watch the lighter color will suit my skin tone better and
c. I'm hoping that if I get it, I can finally stop thinking about the LV Galliera GM in Damier Azur. Which retails at €1.110,- Talk about splurge... :-)

Stunner Clutch...

I LOVE this clutch from H&M's Fashion Against Aids collection.

It has a beautiful super shiny silver finish like the LV Miroir bags with bright, nearly neon, yellow details.

I'm not sure how I'm going to wear it yet, but I'm so in love with it, I'm sure I'll find a way! I also picked up a couple of other little purses from H&M.

The blue and red one I use to carry little things in my bag like my perfume, tissues, aspirins etc. The pink is a just little card holder, but I love this powdery kind of aged pink color.

This Bag...

I was checking out this post on Style Playground and marveling at how similar these Mer Du Nord bags look to the Celine Luggage Tote...

... when I realized that I already own a similar bag as well.

It's not identical, but it's the general idea. I picked this up about 3 or 4 years ago at H&M!! Love shopping my closet. ;-)

Arm Candy...

How cute are these "Candy" satchels by Furla?

Yes, you're seeing it right; they are see-through vinyl! Not into the bright colors? How about completely clear?

Or a combination of both?

 They're available now at Furla.com for € 170.

Back Pack Chic...

I love this back pack.  It's got that boho chic thing going on and the leather so rich and intricately detailed. If ever I were to wear a back pack, the chances of which are slim to none, this would be the one.

That Bag...

Yeah... You know the one. You've seen it. Celine's Luggage Tote? Which seems to be available in every thinkable color and fabric combination?

Like...OMG, I drool! (with Rachel Zoe intonation of course)

I think I'll have the black on black leather & suede combo, thank you. Classic, timeless, luxe, LOVE!
