Marc Jacobs Exclusive Metallic Leather Tote



So I am going to keep reiterating the fact that I am now a City girl. I love it I must say. It does get hectic and many times I do really wonder, “do people sleep here?” but it is so much fun nonetheless. With summer we need some glam and I definitely need some glam in such a fashionable city. The Marc Jacobs Exclusive Metallic Leather Tote radiates with metallic silver and beige leather on this practical tote. Unlike so many other trims for bags, this bag features green-blue trim and is accented with gold hardware. I have a thing for this bag because it is not too over the top and nice that I would worry about taking it to work and it is not too under-done for my liking. Adding a little extra is the Marc plaque on the front along with the buckle detail on both sides of the plaque. On the inside there is white canvas lining along with an internal pocket. I think this bag would keep me young while living the SATC life in NYC. Available via Net-A-Porter for $650.

Gryson Large Leather Shoulder Bag


Hello from NYC everyone!! Finally I am getting a bit more settled and able to browse and talk to you about all the great things in life (accessories at least). First of all, my mom and I did some 5th Ave shopping yesterday. She fell in love with a Mink Spy Bag. It was to die for, but she decided not to get it because it made no sense in South Florida. Although, I did try to convince her to buy it for me- but that didn’t work. We also saw quite a few gorgeous Croc Spy Bags that cost the most hefty tag of $25,000. While the bags were gorgeous (especially the white and pink) the price makes me think of a car- not a bag. I’m just not there yet!!

So with much browsing and perusing I decided a gorgeous color combination for summer is white and brown. Fendi had a B Bag that was white canvas with brown leather trim, which was gorgeous too. But for something a bit more affordable there is the Gryson Large Leather Shoulder Bag. This bag combines plush white leather with chocolate trim which is the look I have in mind for summer. To accent this killer combo is golden-finished brass hardware. This bag has a funky feel with the shoulder straps and woven top handle which goes along with the hanging ID tag. There is a zip top closure and suede interior lining with zip and slide pockets. Measuring 12″H x 17″W x 9″ D, this bag could bring you into the summer with a fashionable accessory. Via Bergdorf Goodman for $855.
