The Everyday Purse

By -
As I mentioned a few months ago, my classic Coach is too small for my post-college life and I've been looking for a new everyday purse. I needed one big enough to hold my planner, cell, ipod, checkbook, lotion, hand sanitizer, a bottle of water, and a trade paperback. (Hmm, those last two things are a bad combination.) I wanted a neutral color, but it didn't have to be black or brown (Though it did a few months ago). Leather was my material must, since I wanted the purse to last at least five years. I ended up with the pink B. Makowsky below (half off at T.J. Maxx!), and am very impressed withe the quality for the price. Elliott Lucca and Hobo International repeatedly caught my eye while I looked for a new purse.

red flower handbag, Moschino Cheap & Chic, Yoox $538

Second row: grey pleat leather shoulder bag, Dutchy, Couture Candy $264
silver woven handbag, Elliott Lucca, Endless "Marakkesh" $267.95
green triangle satchel with navy trim, Banana Republic $248

Third row: cobalt patent drawstring top tote, Dooney & Bourke "Small Chiara", Nordstrom $295
maple kisslock purse, Hobo International "Bonnie", Endless $208
black hobo with gold trim, Kooba "Pamela", Blue Bee $495
copper satchel, B Makowsky, Endless "Regent" $193.80

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog.

We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
