I have come to terms with the fact that I have very recently turned into a handbag/purse/cross-body girl. I've never liked handbags because I hated lugging it around and I'd never actually had anything to put in it besides my wallet, keys and cell phone but that has all changed. I have been converted.
I have fallen in love with this Kate Spade Perri Lane Satchel bag. It's not a new bag but I have just discovered it (thanks Pinterest). Being that it's not new, it's no longer on the Kate Spade website, although I've found it on Amazon and on multiple eBay auctions for much lower than the price it retailed for. It comes in various colors but my favorites are black, grey and white. The black goes with everything but all of them have a spring-y feel to me because of the eyelet-like pattern on the front. For some reason it reminds me of flowers and I love it. I'm keeping my eye on this bag for sure. These coral stud earrings also caught my eye because they are identical to these Kate Spade stud earrings but the ones I've posted are almost 1/5 of the price of the Kate Spade studs! Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to downplay the Kate Spade earrings one bit because they're not outrageously expensive by any means, but anywhere I have can make room to save money on an item that's almost identical to the original for a fraction of the price… it just makes sense, especially if you're not caught up on the name brand. Plus, opting for the less-expensive-almost-identical-studs will make me feel (slightly) better about splurging on the Kate Spade Satchel bag!
If you've read any of my earlier blog posts about shoes you'll also know that I am not fond of any shoe with a heel either. Not because I don't love the way they look but because I look like a baby deer on ice when I walk in them. This is my own fault because I've never made myself practice walking in heels but I'm gradually introducing myself to them. These booties are perfect. Not too high and chunky enough for me to be comfortable. I'm on the lookout for shoes like this for the Spring/Summer.
