The Winner Will Be Coming To You Soon…

I “mentioned” to my husband that I wanted a particular bag for Mother’s Day. More specifically, a Dolce & Gabanna that I had seen in a little specialty boutique here. However, when I looked at the price, I knew it wouldn’t happen, or so I thought. But guess what folks? Yes, you’re right. I got it! I got it!

Here are pictures of me with my new baby.

I was sooooo excited when they (my husband and kids) gave it to me, that I squealed and squealed! My kids thought that was so funny, but I was just that excited.

The look, the feel, the leather smell. It’s all so intoxicating! I am really going to enjoy this bag. Really. I’m going to let her join her handbag brothers and sisters in my closet perhaps towards the end of August, beginning of September, which is right around my birthday time. Guess what I’m going to ask for? You guessed it. Another bag. This time I’m going to choose one from this contest that I posted about. I saw a bag that’s in Kelly Ripa’s collection that made me almost drool.

Anyway, until then it’s just me and D&G. What do you think about it? Isn’t it lovely?

Mother’s Day Was Good To Me – Can You Say Designer Handbag?

For instance, I carry a few matchbox cars and X-men in my purse to quiet my four-year old when we’re at my daughter’s gym practice. It lasts for about 20 minutes or so.

Then, there’s the anti-bacterial gel I have for when we’re out eating. I use it to wash off the table and our hands before we eat. Works like a charm.

Oh, and then there’s the Sharpie that I have to write names on cups to keep everybody’s germs where they belong – with their owners.

And there’s the picture of my 7 year old with a toothless grin holding his soccer ball. Never want to forget this age.

Yes, our bag contents do tell a story. What’s yours?

If you haven’t already told us what’s in your bag, head on over to the post and list your bag’s contents. Or, drop down in the comments section here and tell us your funny, romantic or practical story on the stuff in your life. Doesn’t have to be a novel. Just share your list with us some of what you carry and why you carry it.

The most full-of-life story will receive a full blog post, highlighting them and their handbags and full links to their blogs and sites. This is a chance to show off your bag, tell a little about yourself and do a little self-promoting at the same time. Include a picture of your handbag and contents if you dare! Oh, and if your handbag is of a designer line nature, you know I want to see it, right?!

So tell us again…what’s in your bag?

The Story On My Stuff

Whatever.

Fake designer knock-offs are not worth it, why? Because they may look original, but they tear up quicker, are not nearly as sturdy and often vary in color, stitching and even size. And besides, they ARE knock-offs. ‘Nuff said.

This news story shows me exactly why I am against the whole knock-off idea. The street-retailer who thinks he’s getting away with something by making a fast buck will find himself giving that buck (and more bucks) back all for the honor of saying he’s selling knock-off Coach’s, Dolce & Gabanna’s and Brahmin bags.

It’s just not worth it.
