My Favorite Bags

Recently, I've had a few kind readers email me about my handbags. Which are my favorites? Which would I recommend or consider must - haves? I was flattered that anyone would be interested, because I've honestly downsized so much over the past year. Quality over quantity is my new motto. It's easy to get caught up in the latest "IT" bag of the moment. I do it too, all the time in fact. But as I can't afford to spend hundreds of dollars on new designer bags, I happily use the ones I already own and love. I then focus on the bags I see myself saving for in the future.

This is most of my collection, but I've broken them down into categories in an effort to keep this post simple. Let me know if you have any specific questions!

The Classics

Michael Kors Selma Satchel

Kate Spade Gold Coast Maryanne (Small)

These are the bags I reach for when I want to feel instantly polished and put together, no matter where I'm going or what I'm wearing. 

The Colorful Clutch

J.Crew Factory Envelope Clutch (similar)

Rebecca Minkoff Pouch (similar)

Great for adding color to any outfit. They are perfect for a night out.

The Everyday Bag

Juicy Couture (great option)

I've been carrying this bag most of Spring and Summer because it works with everything! It carries a ton without feeling heavy.

The Crossbody

Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mac (in almond)

This bag is so versatile. You can carry it as a clutch, as a shoulder bag, or crossbody which is how I prefer it. Great for shopping, festivals, concerts, or anytime where you want to be hands - free.

The Dream Bag

Chanel Jumbo Classic Flap in Caviar Leather, Silver hardware. 

This is my ultimate I-can't-believe-she's-mine dream bag. I love her. Enough said. 

My next bag? Well I've had my eye on the LV Neverfull for quite some time. I once obsessed over the Speedy, but I think a practical tote that I can throw over my shoulder and go is more my style these days. And I definitely want a red or burgundy bag for this upcoming Fall season. 

What are your must-have bags? Are you eyeing one in particular?
