And here is what I picked. I didn't see the larger rivet bag, so I didn't consider that one. I was drawn to this style because I felt the design made it clear it wasn't a knock-off, and I the plate on the front with the Louis Vuitton Champs Elysee address on it. And mine actually came from there. Yay.

My next phase - guess that LV one was pretty short lived - was Juicy Couture. I think this is the order it went, but I'm not really positive, now that I think about it ....

Other than clothing, these are my other Juicy items. I really love the charm bracelet and charms. I haven't worn it out much, but DH gives me charms on special occasions, so it's more of a little keepsake that I enjoy looking at and then think nice thoughts about my sweetheart DH.

Speaking of DH, here is a funny card he gave me for Valentine's day. He says it's the two of us :

I also really like clutch style purses:





This Ymail clutch is just adorable. I couldn't resist it, and it was one of my greatest bargain finds ever: $40.00!!!

One day I was walking through Nordstrom and there was a tower of Gucci bags on display. They were finishing up the little boutique for Gucci, otherwise I might not have noticed them. I just find those little designer alcoves intimidating!

For our next anniversary after my "discovery" of Gucci, this is what my DH surprised me with:

Next I needed to find a wallet to match, so since I love all things "horsey" I picked out this wallet to go with the Abbey tote:

My newest Gucci purse is the patent Hysteria hobo, which I really love. I pink and so I think it's kind of fun to have a purse in this color.

I have 3 children, and there are times when I have lot of errands to run, or I'm going on a field trip. Or the zoo. Or traveling and so I am still shy to take one of my purses that are more precious to me out. On these occasions I take one of the following:

Thanks, Graciella! I saw the Ymail line online and instantly liked it. Although black looks really beautiful too I think the white is in keeping with the whole "envelope" idea of the clutch.
