I love a western-inspired purse my mom got me. I carry it everywhere!
My fave purse is a fabric hobo bag that I got from a street vendor.
My favorite pair of shoes are Fly Flots. They are made in Italy and I bought them at Gottschalks. They are, by far, the most comfy pair of shoes I’ve ever worn!
My favorite shoes are black Crocs that I wear around the house and yard, to the dog park, just about anywhere!
My favorite purse is my Coach purse I bought at the Coach outlet. I use it everyday love it!
Gucci of course!!!!
I have a Mary frances bag that looks good with jeans or for a evening out
I have a black leather backpack purse I take everywhere. I received it as a gift so I do not know where but it is my favorite.
My favorite pair of shoes are these green kinda sparkly shoes I have. They have square toes, about an inch high heel, and not a buckle or a ‘penny holder,’ but some kind of thing over the top. They sound ugly, I know, but they’re awesome! I got them about 15 years ago from Hudson’s (now Macy’s).
My favorite handbag is my coach one.
I love Marc Jacobs. Did I say I loved Marc Jacobs?
My favorite bag is my Gucci Speedy doctor bag. It’s vintage 80’s, but it never goes out of style and gets noticed wherever I go!
My fav right now is a turqoise leather Coach purse I bought this year. It is a classic and just beautiful! My fav shoes are my Mary Jane Dr. Martens. They are cute AND comfy! Thanks!
My favorite pair of shoes are my sons hollister sandals! There leather and feel good on but when the sons around I have to put on my boring kmart special flip-flops. The cranberry handbag will look great with his sandals though. Thanks for the contests.
My favorite bag is my “Made in China” red/cinnamon-brown big ole carry it all bag from Target!
I’m such a fibber….people have remarked on how they love my bag, and is it a designer bag, and of course I say “yes”. Oh, I looked at the designer bags, but couldn’t afford them, and this looked “passable” so I bought it.
I adore the Marc Jacobs bag that you’re giving away. Please, please pick me so I don’t have to lie anymore and will go to heaven!!
My favorite shoes are the one’s that feel the best that day!
Of course, I am drawn to the Daydreamer bag, although I really like the bag you are giving away. It is all part of my personal daydream anyway. Thanks for the opportunity!!
Hands down, my favorite bag has to be the one I bought at a Parisian’s store in town on sale for about $20. It was a Capegio bucket style lined and real leather in a neutral tan color. It was marked down from about $120. It was the only handbag I used for years because I could carry anything and everything in it but still find my stuff at the same time. It also had a handy zippered pouch on the outside which helped with organization. The lining wore out but the bag is still in great shape. I have tried to figure out how to get it relined and cleaned up but couldn’t ever find the right source. Maybe if i don’t win this new bag, buy posting here someone will have info on how to get this favorite bag doctored back to health.
Thanks for the blog and the chance to win!
A pair of sandals that I bought in Laos—so comfortable
My favorit shoes were a gift from Haiti. I get comments on them all of the time!

I have one designer purse, but my favorite handbag is a knockoff I got off the internet about 3 years ago at a wholesale shop. It is torquoise and it is gorgeous.
pink nine west bag i got from the second hand store.
Favorite handbag was a retro Purse that looked like it was made out of carpeting. Took it anywhere I went
My favorite shoes are a pair of black leather booties that not only look good, but even with a heel are very comfortable. I can dance all night in them.
My favorite bag is a shariff bag I picked up at TJ maxx. Its a snakeskin hobo that is just adorable! I wear it everywhere!
I like my black Aigner handbag-purchased used several years ago. But, it is about worn out now and I would love to have this beautiful Marc Jacobs satchel in beautiful cranberry.
Favorite bag… My “Closer” bag from Clark..
was a 50th birthday gift from my mom.
In May 2008 I purchased a pair of Mystique Sandals that were $140.00 and they are embellished with about a dozen large size turquoise stones. I wanted a pair of comfortable sandals to wear all summer long with my shorts, capris, and little skirts but I wanted to sandals to also have a touch of “glitz” and glamour to them so I would look chic and stylish wherever I go and in whatever social situation I am in. In other words, they had to be versatile! These sandals are awesome and I literally have not stopped wearing them! They are the best investment I could have made and they are like walking on water! I also adore the Marc Jacobs Handbag that is part of this giveaway! I would use this bag everyday as my new signature accessory!
Recently, I purchased a pair of Dr. Scholl’s shoes online. I love them! They are comfy, “Mary Jane” inspired black shoes. Thank you.
My favorite shoes are red plaid cloth shoes that go up past my ankles and have 1890’s buttons down the sides and black rubber soles. I purchased them at a vintage shop in Milwaukee, WI and wear them EVERYWHERE because they are extremely comfortable and very unusual!
My most favorite handbag is a Tommy Hillfiger given to me by my mom. I used to take it everywhere but now the snap is messed up.
my fav shows are these brown sling back peep-toe pumps that i bought at the thrift store and wore them to Carl’s Jr cuz i had no where else to wear them to :{
I love my reef sandals with built in bottle opener that I purchased at Scheels! I wear them for all my beach vacations!
A few years ago my son gifted me with a Coach bag that I love. It’s a great everyday bag.
I have a wonderful Nine West handbag that’s ages old, but is still bright white! It never yellowed!
Nine West handbag
I actually have a coach bag from 15 yrs ago I still go back to, its tan and just exactly the right size, guess thats why I favor it. But this purse is a great color you have for a prize, I love it, and would love to win!
I got a LV Pouchette as a birthday gift from my mom. Best present ever, I use it anytime I can get away with using something so small.
I love Mark Jacobs’ line. Always tasteful and the workmanship is top notch. My favorite bag is the pouch.
I was shopping with my sister the other day and had a $50 gift card to Marshalls that was burning a hole in my wallet. We went to one Marshalls where I found an adorable Coach bag for $174 and I mentioned that it would be so much better in a darker color and more compact. Passed on buying it, we spent the rest of the day shopping and then stopped at two more Marshalls and at the last one I found another Coach bag but this one fit my ideal and it was on clearance! Only $98!
Can’t have too many shoes OR handbags!
My favorite pair of shoes are these hot grey suede booties.
My favorite pair of shoes are my Reef flip flops. They are the best for running errands and around the house, so I wear them more than any other shoes. Plus, the stack makes me a little taller!
That purse is great!
My favorite bag would have to be the Coach bag I received from my children for Mothers Day! It might be so tiny I can only fit my keys in it, lol. But it’s from them And I love it and carry it everywhere
The bag matches my hair and car,I love it.
this is one beautiful bag! whoever scores this is one lucky girl, oh how i hope i’m that lucky girl!!have a great weekend, all!!
My favorite is my bright red Guess bag that I ordered online a couple of years ago.
My favorite shoes are my Birkenstock sandals. I live in the South so I can wear them year-round.
While unorthodox and ugly, my Crocs are my favorite pair of shoes. I wear them everywhere (except Weddings and funerals), I love them because not only do they feel good when I walk, they are super easy to clean.
