Designer Handbags

After years of annoying me about learning to snowboard, a group of my best friends have talked me into buying gear and learning to board. Not that I don’t want to. But the thought of spending so much time on my bum in the freezing cold snow is not enticing at all. Sadly enough, the enticing part is the gear I get to buy- coat, pants, hat, goggles, gloves, board. Yay! Just one more area to spend money. I probably will care more to match all my gear than to actually learn the sport. I can see it now… I wake up and do my hair, put on all my matching gear, and go down to the lodge by the fire- look around- and decide I am the best damned dressed boarder of them all. Unfortunately, that will get me no where on the slopes.

So while I think ahead to my near future days of boarding, I started to think that I may need a cute bag to go along with my experience (yes, another excuse to buy a bag). When I imagine myself at a Ski Lodge this winter, I see myself carrying the new Coach Soho Large Ski Hobo. Although white is so hard to keep sparkling clean, I still would opt for the white hobo which is trimmed in light and soft rabbit fur. The rest of the bag is made from quilted Signature fabric and has a posh tab with magnetic snap and dogleash closure. Once you open up this beauty, you will find fabric lining, a zip pocket, and a multi-function pocket. Dimensions are 15 1/4″ for the strap and 14 1/4 (L) x 12 1/4 (H) overall. Don’t be fooled, this is quite the big bag. If you want to look posh on the slopes (rather in the lodge), buy this bag in black, brown, or white for $498 via Coach.

Reason # 1,576,295,095,324,096 why I should listen to Vlad and continuously save my work…. because sometimes my computer decides to play games and delete my posts- because a kick in the ass is fun for this machine. Great. Never fear, I will not leave out this beauty of a bag and great designer. Let me introduce you all to Leslie Newton. I found out about her because a member on the forum sent me her way, uhkiwi. Hopefully, I can talk to Leslie Newton herself sometime to learn more about her bags and be able to share it all with you.

Lucky for Leslie, Anthropologie is featuring one of her divine bags. The Leslie Newton Royal Suede Saddle Bag is a satchel that can make any lady happy. With the weathered brown leather and violet suede trim, Leslie has figured out not only the perfect colors to accent a bag but also the perfect materials. To add more beauty, there are antiqued brass rings which perfectly compliment the brown leather and violet suede satchel. On the inside you will find three interior accessory pouches and a zip pocket. Sizing up at 14″l, 2″w, 12″h, this bag is roomy enough to fit all your pleasures. At the new mark downed price of $144.95 through Anthropologie, Leslie is giving the world a bit of beauty for a steal of a price.
