I don’t heart bags!
Dec 7th, 2007 | By Irie Diva | Category: Bags, Irie Diva's PicksHmm….It’s odd that this fashion diva isn’t the bag fanatic that most fashion divas are…isn’t it? A fashion blog without a single bag post? How weird is that! I think I’ve broken some kind of punishable fashion rule! Yep, right now I have the basic one black and one brown and I have two simply because I think its bad fashion karma to wear a black back with a totally brown outfit. They’re very plain too, just the staple work bags. Very nice now, cus I’m still a diva, but plain.
This past week, I went in search of new shoes (because that’s my obsession) and my friend started to gaze on some handbags. Every bag she picked up was just absolutely horrible and I was beginning to wonder if she had sniffed something before coming to meet up with me, seriously. Anyway finally she said “what about this one” and I picked it up and threw it over my shoulder. I was instantly transformed! I was in love (insert smiley with big red hearts for eyes) She on the other hand wasn’t convinced and kept asking me about some purple and orange striped duffel thingy….ew!
Anyway after some of my words (cus I’m the guru duh) she too was convinced that the bag was as hot as I was saying and bought it. Wait a minute…I liked the bag, why didnt I buy it! LOL ok….so yeah that didn’t go too well. I searched for it online but of late I am never able to find exactly what I’m looking for on the internet, so I went thru the archives of all the bag blogs on the first page of that particular Google search…and I still haven’t found one bag that makes me go “oooh i like that!” Just “ok that can work” or “that’s cute” so now if I wasn’t aware before, I definitely know now that I an not a bag lady. But I certainly welcome the change! I wants bags! Pretty bags with nice shiny things on them
So these are my favorite that I’ve seen so far. Based on my selections, I welcome anyone who can point me in the direction of some cute bags, so holla at me you bag gurus! I think I would definitely start my collection with a dark red bag and a green bag, like olive green or something…..yes those are the colours I’m feeling. These bags below are courtesy of Purseuing, What’s Haute and Ebay (click each item to view) So there’s item number one on my Christmas wish list!
EDIT: thank’s to my handy dandy related-post feature at the bottom of each post I am now reminded of my very first post on bag, Man Bags! LOL
