In the Mood: Céline Luggage Tote

via

Some of my favorite bloggers have been sporting some variation of the Céline Luggage Tote lately.  Check out Blair from Atlantic Pacific wearing the Céline Nano Luggage Tote (here) and Ahn from 9to5 Chic wearing the Céline Luggage Tote (here).  Each time I see someone wearing one of the tote bags, I swoon.  If you can’t tell I’m a little obsessed with this bag right now.  I really love the look of this bag – the rigid structure, the matching wavy scrolls and all of the space and roominess of this functional tote.  

I love it so much that I attempted to track down at least one of these tote, but I had a tough time finding one anywhere.  And it seems like I’m not alone.  Apparently there are some people who have been on a waiting list for months in hopes of buying this bag.  The list gets longer especially when someone is looking for a certain color like the highly sought after fluo pink color pictured here.  

The only thing that stopped me from putting my name on a waiting list is the price.  I had a feeling this bag was a little pricey, but I had no idea how much.  The average price tag ranges upward from $2000 depending on the variation of the tote bag.  Looks like I’m going to be adding this one to my bucket list of luxury items.  Do you love the Céline Luggage Tote as much as I do?  Do you already own one?  If so, what do you love about this bag?  Let me know ladies!

In the Mood: Stella and Dot

I never really heard about Stella and Dot until last year when I saw one of my favorite bloggers wearing some amazing pieces.  A few months ago I finally checked out the website for the first time after I approached a woman wearing the Sophia Pearl Bib Necklace.  I thought this necklace was stunning on her.  As you can see above, it’s a beautiful statement necklace.  My favorites are the Sophia Pearl Bib Necklace; the Pegasus Necklace; the Campari Necklace; the La Coco Rope Necklaceand the Bahari Necklace.  Check out the Stella and Dot website and let me know which ones are your favorites.

In the Mood: Coach – Fall Handbags 2011

Hi ladies…I was just looking at the Coach website the other day and I was inspired to blog about it.  I’ve been obsessed with Coach since I was in my teens.  I can’t even begin to tell you how many Coach items I own right now.  My mom bought me my first Coach purse when I was in high school. Awesome - right? I thought I was pretty cool to have a beautiful tan leather duffle bag when many of my friends didn’t own one.  Ever since then I have acquired quite the collection of Coach items from purses and accessories to outerwear and shoes.  Do you have any Coach pieces or do you plan to purchase something soon?

This brand is doing everything right at this point.  Over the last 70 years, the character and the spirit of the Coach brand has been defined as “classic American style.”  Coach was founded in 1941 as a family run workshop in a Manhattan loft.   The company made its reputation selling sumptuous fine leather purses and accessories in traditional and classic styles, and it remains one of the best-known leather brands in the United States.  Now don’t get me wrong, the brand has had its share of hits and misses over the years.  However, the company continued to evolve and offer an expanding collection of merchandise from handbags, clothing, jewelry, luggage and beyond.   

The current collections are distinctly modern yet unmistakably classic.  All of the collections offer amazing rich colors, new silhouettes, and unique fabrications that play off each other perfectly. The Madison collection is sleek, chic and flawless.   It’s one of my favorites right now.  The company recently reissued 5 iconic Coach Classic styles for a limited time only.   The Classic collection is perfect for all ages because it offers simple and elegant styles.  Each piece can be considered a wardrobe staple.  Although the Poppy collection is not my favorite, the collection is playful, vibrant and whimsical and it’s a favorite among many women.  

Have you checked out the website lately? If you haven’t, you can check it out here.  This company has so many great handbags and accessories on the website right now.   I wanted to share some of my fall favorites with all of you.  Which ones are your favorites?  Check out my fall crushes from Coach and let me know what you think!
