What woman wouldn’t love a cute handbag or purse? None that I know. Finding a cute purse or handbag is important to many people actually. Having a purse or handbag that matches your outfit of choice is key. And, it just adds a level of style and sophistication to that outfit. So, finding a great handbag or purse is a must.

Now, many women shop for purses and handbags in department stores, malls, and fashion boutiques. Sometimes you can find a store that sells nothing but purses and handbags. Often shoe stores carry a wide selection that match the shoes they are selling, a cute idea at that. Yet other places to find the right handbag or purse include the Internet and online auctions.

A little information about these Internet stores is key when looking for a purse or chanel bag. For example, if you are looking for a designer handbag with a special label denoted said designer, you may want to check out the designers website. There you can find genuine designer items, to knockoffs, and even gently used items as well. To search for any of these options, use a major search engine and simply type in what you are looking for in the search box. Its as easy as that to find handbags and purses at your fingertips.

Handbags of all styles, shapes, colors, and with all sorts of features, textures, and looks are available to the consumer. Designer or not, trendy, cute, or sophisticated, the consumer has to do nothing but look to find a cute look or an accessory to match their outfit. Yet, finding a good deal on the handbag or purse is also key. Using all the resources listed above, it should not be hard to find the right handbag and purse.

So recently I stumbled upon a pair of shoes i fell in love with these shoes

These shoes are incredible, the heel of the shoe got me immediatley, the suede is percfect!

To match these shoes a hand bag not by gucci would match quite well, is not from the same designer but from Michael Kors

I know its blue but pairing a dull thing with a bright color can actually make the black shoes stick out more!

Now if you pair theses with a dress preferably one that is black with a blue belt its fabulous!

Prada enthusiasts may have caught feelings over the Hurricane Chris co-signed Fila Helmsan (which is actually selling like crack at the malls) but it’d be tough to say the brand is ripping off anyone on this forthcoming collab with Brooklyn-based boutique Premium Goods. The squad at PG chose to take on the Tennis Classic model, the same style used for the coach shoes, and a silhouette that first premiered back in 1987. Check for these Italian/Gucci inspirations to drop in the next month or so. Bada Bing!

Scully Leather Caramel Shearling Handbag

This Scully handbag is very soft with the shearling interior and exterior seams.? Soft suede exterior and leather handles are consistent with Scully Leather dedication to quality craftsmanship.? Every skin is slightly differnt which gives each purse an individual quality.? The Scully Leather Caramel Shearling Handbag is the perfect compliment to your western attire!

We like it when people mess around with traditional pieces. When we say mess around we mean tweak because it seems like too often people try to reinvent the wheel with what’s classic. A perfect example of a good tweak is Gucci’s Suede Moccasin. Part boat shoe, part moccasin, and part sneaker, this shoe takes tradition and throws together some of its finest parts. Gucci’s trademark horsebit goes perfectly with the rubber sneaker sole and the blue suede is the perfect color for this hybrid shoe. You can wear them with shorts, khakis, jeans, or a suit. Smart simple lines characterize the design, separating this shoe from other hybrid designs (think Kanye for Louis Vuitton). We look forward to seeing more hybrid shoes with classic characteristics and commend Gucci on finding the right type of balance. Sure, they’ll run you a pretty penny, but if you can wear them with nearly anything, maybe they’re a better investment then you previously thought. Get them at Neiman Marcus for $420 here.

Knitting Daily Lace Scarf

I am teaching this scarf as a class at Knit & Pearl in late July.
It is a really fun, fast knit & crochet.
The center is knit in Rowan’s Kidsilk Haze, only 27 stitches so it goes quickly, and then you crochet the edge in Blue Sky Alpaca Silk. Beautiful and so fun to make!
This is a great last minute (8-12 hours depending on your skill level) gift too.
