I treated myself.
I’ve had a crazy November and it’s not even over yet. So, last night when Susie invited me to a little event at the W hotel, I was intrigued. So I rushed home today, met up with Susie at the hotel. It turned out to be a designer handbag sale and was so much fun! There was free wine and lots of ladies practically clawing each other for their favorites.
After years of carrying a $20 handbag from Target or a ballistic nylon messenger bag, I went out on a limb and got myself a Goldenbleu bag for 75% off retail. It’s a well-made leather bag that makes me happy but it’s very practical at the same time. I know it’s sort of plain-looking and doesn’t have gold chains or tassles hanging from it but it’s comfy on my shoulder, has lots of pockets inside, and even fits my laptop!! I’ll just have to keep it away from Koa cuz he’s been sniffing the leather all night. Apparently I’ve never owned anything made of real leather b/c he’s sniffing it like it’s crack for dogs.
This may be my very first designer handbad but I can see how this can get addicting. Afterall, I am my mother’s daughter. I can’t wait for Bazaar Bizarre next weekend. It’ll be so much fun to see all of Eleen’s new designs and I may come home with some new hand-made goodies!
