Handbags are a girl’s best friend

FORGET DIAMONDS

They’re too small, but an amazing handbag looks great no matter what. Plus, you never have to worry about how much you’ve gained or lost, the bag STILL FITS (even AFTER that hot fudge sundae). When it comes to fashion, it’s the one thing that I can rely on.

HANDBAG (like shoe) SHOPPING, is always a treat

and there’s NOTHING in the world like getting lost in the Linea Pelle department. I adore those buttery soft leather bags in seasonal colors that are comfortable like my favorite Norma Kamali dress or those jeans I slide on when I just feel like lazing around. The best part, I don’t even have to leave my computer to find my FAVE Dylan style bags, as the Linea Pelle website has the ENTIRE line. I was at the Henri Bendel store at Sawgrass last month and came home to shop the REST of the collection (sorry Bendel – but you didn’t have the one that I wanted).

Two days ago I was in the Detroit snow, at the auto show and couldn’t WAIT to get out of the cold and start thinking about SPRING. I dove RIGHT into the Linea Pelle site today, because they announced their Spring Collection PRESALE. YESSSSS – you can order NOW for January 30th shipping and by early February have one of their soft luxurious handbags in hand (or across your shoulder) in colors like

  • Yellow
  • Sand
  • Turquoise
  • Coral
  • Scotch
  • and of course Black or White

BRING THEM ON!

Dylan medium tote (my fave)

I’ve made room in my closet, now I just have to decide between a cute little mini-speedy bag or that classic Dylan Medium Tote (like the one we gave away on Champagne Living in 2012)….or…maybe BOTH?  Does someone want to remind Mr. S that my birthday is next month?

THE COLLECTION

Whether you like a substantial size handbag, or just a cute something, this spring brings something that YOU’LL love in this season’s Dylan line.  The Dylan Medium Tote may sound mid-size, but it’s roomy enough to toss in a netbook & camera when you travel along with the  “usual”  wallet, cosmetics, etc. For days when you’ve got no time to stop at home to change for date night,  the Flap Crossbody Bag is PERFECT. It easily switches from day to evening by removing the long strap for an out on the town clutch.

Do you love the simple style of a speedy bag, but don’t want to carry around a SUITCASE? The Dylan mini speedy seems to be a great compact solution. With all of the style of the Dylan collection, this is perfect for EVERY day use. Of course they haven’t forgotten the shoulder bag, with it’s practical size and easy look.

Of course you’ll WANT a wallet & cosmetic case to match, and the Dylan Wallet is adorned with fun gunmetal or gold accent hardware. It’s the type of wallet you can run out with when you just need to grab a few things at the market and leave your handbag at home. I love the cosmetic case for the same reason. I can throw a couple of dollars and my license in there & run out of the house.

If you’ve HAD IT with the cold weather and are ready for something new and bright to cheer yourself up, the doors are now OPEN at Linea Pelle to pre-order a bag from the spring collection at LineaPelle.com. My only question is…

WHICH BAG WOULD YOU CHOOSE?

    Mine too Mary. I can gain weight and still fit into them…lol. I have to sneak them into the house so Mr. S doesn’t see them. Men don’t understand why we need more than one of anything.

    I LOVE LOVE Linea Pelle. I bought one recently and can’t get over how great it is. Such soft leather and easy to fit my stuff in. Definitely a bag I will be using for a very long time.

    I have the Medium tote…it’s my everyday bag and one of those that looks better and better with age. It’s sort of hippie, sort of stylish. Very laid back looking.

    It’s an investment for sure, but I agree it will NEVER go out of style, you can wear it with everything, and you’ll get tons of people asking about it.
