paper bags, plastic bags, designer bags?

As many girls, I am obsessed with handbags, clutches, tote bags, any bag that I can carry really. I thought I'd share with you a few of my favorites and a few that I long for. If I posted a picture of all my bags I think that this entire blog would just be pages of pictures.


This is my Louis Vuitton "collection". The small round one I got for Christmas when I was fourteen. The white multicolored Speedy bag I got for my fifteenth birthday and I just had to have it "because Jessica Simpson had it on the Newlyweds" (how funny is that?). The big monogrammed canvas (Galliera GM), I got in New York this July when we visited. I fell in love with it's size. I love big bags. And my latest addition I got in January, in Charleston, for my birthday. I adore the Speedy bags, but I'm obsessed with this pattern. It's called Damier Ebene and it's the original design by Louis Vuitton himself. The actual Monogram Canvas, the most popular, is actually a design done by his son after Louis Vuitton's death. (Yeah, I'm kind of obsessed with Louis Vuitton. My mom has a lot of the luggage pieces and yes I'm VERY jealous.)


Louis Vuitton and Tory Burch are on far different levels of bags, but I adore Tory. I mostly adore her shoes. I have probably 6 or 7 pairs. (Maybe I'll do a shoe blog soon!!) I also love her bags though. They are not too expensive and really great. I also have a Tory duffel bag, but it's at school so no picture. I have three of the same bag in black, white, and brown/black dots. That bag is fabulous! I love it because it has pockets on each end that are PERFECT for slipping your cell phone and chapstick in. I even used the white bag as a bookbag tote first semester (before I realized how stupid that was. Totes are cute, but way too heavy. Actual backpacks are way more practical). And the Silver one is a bag I love also. I got it two Christmases ago and it's great! I love Tory. Her style is iconic and she is GORGEOUS!


This is just a random conglomeration of a few of my favorite bags. Like I said, if I photographed all of my bags...well I can't even imagine how many pictures would be up here. I truly LOVE Burberry. I have their perfume, their rainboots, this bag, a scarf, etc. I love Burberry, that's all their is to it. This bag is great because it's going to be trendy forever due to the fact that it's just a simple tote. It came with a nice change bag inside also. I love it. I'm pretty much OVER Coach now, as everyone has it. I think some of their things are cute but when I got this bag I did love it. I never use it anymore. The Lilly pink and green bag, on the right, I got at the beach a few summers back. I love it. It has the word "Lilly" hidden in the pattern for her 50th? Anniversary (I can't remember exactly which anniversary it was. Maybe one of you will know). I got that Michael Kors bag on the left at the bottom three Christmases ago and I loved it at the time, but I never use it anymore. It's so great and I love those pockets on the outside. Like I said, I'm such a bag whore. =)


And I know I already talked about this bag, but it's the one I'm carrying currently and I adore it. The red fabric on the inside is my FAVORITE part. My very favorite bag (not pictured above) is my Gucci bag I got in Charleston a few years back. It is waterproof, which sounds awful, but its amazing. Unfortunately it's at school, otherwise I would have a photo. Anyway, what are you guys carrying and who are your favorite designers, whether they be high end or not? I love all bags. I will say I have a sweet spot for designers, but I sometimes find the cutest things at Target!

RueLaLa!!

I don't know how many of you have heard of Rue La La but it's so cool. It's a clothing website that is available by invitation only. Everyday they have new "boutiques" that offer BIG sales on designer items. I saw today there is Juicy Couture, Tarte, Lacoste, Malandrino, etc. And everyday there are new boutiques. I know they had a big Lilly Pulitzer sale the other day. Anyways, I'm inviting you all to join. Just follow the link below and you too can find sales on all the cool designers out there! Seriously there is a realllly cute Juicy watch that I want! Happy shopping!

i got a feeling...

that this blog is really going to be fun! I've had it for a while now and I really haven't done anything substantial with it. But I've spent most of my Sunday morning browsing random blogs and some that I follow and I have some really great ideas! I gained two new followers and I'm really excited about that! I'm technically new to this whole blogging experience, so if you have any suggestions please don't hesitate to let me know! I really appreciate feedback and am excited to get this thing going!

So let's start with something I ran across and found to be neat...

5 Things I am Thankful For:
1: My family. Without them I would be nothing. They are constantly supporting me and providing me with the best things in life. I am so spoiled by my parents and I couldn't be more grateful, although I don't always show it.

2: My doggies. I typically would not voice this because I usually say how much they annoy me, but not today. My mom, their number one fan, is out of town right now and I am at home with them. They are both cuddled up with me. Cooper is a little thing so him on my lap is no big deal; however, Kasey, the lab, is also on my lap and he's a bit heavy.

3: My education. gasps all around? ha. I know I complain about school all the time, but I really am glad that I'm doing this. I often wonder "If I wasn't in school, what would I be doing?" and I know the answer. I would be working for my parents and loathing every second of it. So I really shouldn't take my schooling for granted.

4: My friends. They are the best. I have a small group of close friends. My school does not have a Greek system and that typically means you are not overflowing with friends. I think it's better to have friends you love for YOU and not because you pay a fee to be in their group.

5: My bed. On weekends when I come home it really hits the spot. There is no comparison to my super comfy queen bed and my college provided twin bed. Although I have MANY mattress toppers on my twin bed, it just isn't the same.

There are SOOO many more things that I am thankful for, but those were the first five that popped in my head. I have some new ideas that will be coming soon. I'm going to try to post one blog a day, but knowing how addicted I get to things like this, there may even be two a day. We'll see!

sitting, waiting, WISHING...

I am home this weekend from college, like many weekends, and my parents have gone to the beach...and I'm bored. And as I sat here wishing for so many things I thought I would fill you all in on what I wish I could have right now...


how much do you love that bag? I so wishhh. Those things are ridic expensive.


I would never get to use it, but how adorable is the Lilly Pulitzer golf cart?


I have the white Michael Kors watch surrounded with the crystals or whatever, but I really want the gold one!


When I got my last Louis Vuitton bag, I wanted this iPhone cover so bad but the lady told me at the time there were only two available in all of North America. So I'm still wishing for that one.

and there are many, many more things. but I am beyond blessed and honestly don't need to be wishing for any of these things! I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

new layout

Okay, so I think one of the many reasons I don't blog is because my page was so boring. I read a lot of people's blogs on here and am always inspired to get mine going, but I never do! I think it's about time I got this thing looking cute! I hope to gain some new followers and continue to be inspired to post on this thing. I have a lot of ideas about things to do on here, and I'm hoping to get to them as soon as I finish tweaking things! Let me know what you think!
