Spring Bag Roundup

Spring and Fall get me every damn time! Time to go shopping... (link to the Celine bag here). 

 

It's Here!

As a (very) late birthday present I got the 3.1 Phillip Lim Pashli bag that I have been drooling over for months. I was deciding between taupe, jade, red and navy (all with gold hardware) and ultimately decided on the red. It came on Friday afternoon and I couldn't be happier. The bag is sold for $875 at Barneys, Saks and others which seems steep but if you compare it to lookalike bag the Celine Luggage tote, which goes for over $2000, it's a real steal!

 

Here's mine in red. Isn't is gorg??

They also come in minis which are pretty adorable.

Finally, I never fly without my Saint Christopher necklace and a cocktail. I hope everyone is safe and recovering from the storm-- pray that I can get out and everyone that needs help gets it!

Seeing Spots

Animal prints don't have to be flashy. If they are subtle additions to an outfit they can look amazing. I love to mix in a cheetah clutch or leopard scarf to spice up an outfit.
