Earth Angels

October 10th, 2008

Every season, when the leaves create a crackling, gold blanket on the ground, I get nostalgic for my childhood. This has always been my favorite time of year and I love the earthy colors that emerge in every aspect of life. These bags channel the flavors of Autumn in deep golds and browns and in shapes that remind me of what school children carried back in the day.

1. Coin Top Cross Body: Melie Bianco, $64
2. Miss Savvy Shopper: Dolce & Gabbana, $2,495
3. Cambridge Mini Satchel: Banana Republic, $190
4. B Sally: Steve Madden, $58
5. Eva Vintage Bag: dELiAs, $36.50
6. Crescent Zip Hobo: Urban Outfitters, $29.99
7. Woodstock Wine Sac: Barneys, $735
8. Ori Slouchy Messenger Bag: 3.1 Phillip Lim, $550

I hope you all have fabulous weekends!

The slight briskness in the air this morning got me so excited for fall! Maybe we could pick up pumpkin spice lattes this weekend? I think they would go well with any of those bags. I actually love the UO one, and it is so affordable!

phew! I was so relieved that my favorite was the Urban Outfitters bag. I have a weakness for pricey, soft, buttery bags…ecspecially in the Fall

By seeing these bags really made me think that my mothers comment about “me having to many of them” is sooo far away from the truth, couse hey, can you really get enough of them?!

i adore these types of bags. but a warning about number #5: it doesn’t look as good in person as it does in photos (i know, i ordered it and had to ship it back! i was sooo disapointed but it was completely uneven, incredibly stiff and plastic looking
