Purse for Thought

The one thing I always have a hard time finding is a good purse. I have many that I love, but never any of a good variety - I always end up with black and nothing else. With the Fall season approaching... I am determined to find the perfect Fall bag. Here are some of my choices.



Gucci Suckey Tote Bag


Botkier Howard Tote


Lanvin The Cabeceo Shoulder Bag


Rebecca Minkoff Fall Collection


Alexander McQueen Skull Clutch

What do you think? The Gucci bag is my absolute favorite but the Lanvin is a close second. The McQueen clutch is a no brainer... his pieces will only go up in value due to his untimely death earlier this year. Plus its perfect for nights out!

(Yours) Truly Vintage

I think the best piece of vintage is one that isn't found in a second hand shop, or a garage sale, but in your own mother's closet. Meet my mom's best kept secret, Gucci.







The boxy shape of the bag and long leather strap is so late 80s! LOVELOVE. The leather is deliciously worn-in (but still looks great!) and could probably use a patch up in a few spots and a repair here or there... but I won't. I think it looks good just as it is. It was given to my mother by her late mother-in-law (my late grandmother). Timeless. Priceless.
