Absolutely stunning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/handbag-curiosity/page/2#post-541879 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 01:11:22 +0000 D'Ellen 541879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been eying a slouchy white bag with tan trim that I may not be able to resist much longer. And I'm looking forward to reconnecting with the summer bags I already have, which are mlots more fun than my fall/winter bags... white bucket bag with silver studs, black straw bag with wooden handles and black/cream leopard print bag (made of recycled paper!) with faux patent (i.e. shiny plastic) handles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/handbag-curiosity#post-541877 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 01:07:40 +0000 nicoleb 541877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm...i'm not sure. I'm not too much of a bag person. I *might* picked up a neon bag for spring/summer but i've been debating over the messenger style because they tend to drive me a little crazy and i end up trying to stuff all of my belongings in the outside pocket. @_@</p> <p>Maybe a statement oversized clutch? </p> <p>Mostly i have my eye on shoes. As usual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/handbag-curiosity#post-541874 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 01:03:58 +0000 Aida 541874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm good question! It's been fun seeing what everyone is looking at. Last summer I used my cream bucket and gold bags almost exclusively, with the occasional red and navy getting use. This year I have a bright red-orange bag which I'm looking forward to using in summery outfits, and I would really like to add a black-and-white or turquoise bag, and VERY much want to find a colorblocked bag! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/handbag-curiosity#post-541812 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 23:24:09 +0000 rachylou 541812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Giant, impractical envelope clutches </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/handbag-curiosity#post-541808 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 23:17:06 +0000 Chippy Mia 541808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm told that orange is the IT colour this season and I see it everywhere here. I love orange but it has to be a certain shade to compliment my skintone. I would love to had an orange purse to my closet but still a little apprehensive about actually carrying it in public as I think deep down I'm still pretty much conservative in the handbag department. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/handbag-curiosity#post-541764 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 22:25:01 +0000 Debbie 541764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isabel that striped bag is so cute.

However, I'm excited for spring to come to break out a nude/blush bag I found last fall at DSW and haven't had a chance to use yet. But Monty has my heart even if I don'w have Monty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/handbag-curiosity#post-540249 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 02:45:59 +0000 Transcona Shannon 540249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting replies - lots of diversity here.<br /> Jewell - that bag is gorgeous!<br /> Rita - I agree with Claire that you need a bright bag too!<br /> Claire - you're getting quite the purse collection going, aren't you?</p> <p>I have an emerald green one I thrifted a while back and also found a Mat &amp; Nat green straw bag with brown leather handles, so I think I'm covered for green (lol!) - but I'm thinking of getting a neutral bag too but haven't found one that speaks to me yet...maybe something in cream... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/handbag-curiosity#post-540240 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 02:29:03 +0000 Elly 540240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have my eye on a bag from Rae's Korean site. I just don't know if I will be happy with it (the size, leather quality, weight) and obviously don't want to send it back to Korea! However, it has all of my "must have" features that I am constantly finding bags lacking in, and it is a good price. It would end up having to be neutral though, but at this point I don't have a bag that is bigger than a wallet ATM.</p> <p>Now you've got me thinking about whether or not it will seem to heavy in our summer here!</p> <p>I was on the lookout for red or orange, and had been looking for the right one most of the year. </p> <p>I'm hopeless when it comes to bags. I need to be schooled. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/handbag-curiosity#post-540231 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 02:15:27 +0000 Anonymous 540231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jewell, that bag is a beauty! I can't wait to see it in a WIW. It looks very fresh to me.</p> <p>Rita, I sill think you'll need a bright bag too, even with your poka dot love in transit. Maybe you can find one that's not too expensive. I love the way you explained how you found a color that matched nothing but goes with everything. I'm looking for a bright yellow belt, and since I don't wear yellow, I'm hoping it will be the same way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/handbag-curiosity#post-540230 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 02:11:05 +0000 MsMary 540230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm on the hunt for a nice orange bag. I love the Michael Kors Hamilton but I am also on the lookout for a nice Kate Spade. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/handbag-curiosity#post-540227 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 02:07:12 +0000 modgrl 540227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Before I saw the polka dot bag in person, I was planning to look for either a coral or emerald green bag. I was actually starting to lean toward the emerald green. I had one a few years ago and it was great. It doesn't match with anything but goes with almost everything. I don't have any green (except a layering t and teal cardi) so I don't have to worry about matching, clashing or coordinating. I wear more orange, coral and red so I would have to really think about what I was wearing with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/handbag-curiosity#post-540147 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 00:44:22 +0000 Jewell 540147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My search for a navy crossbody has finally come to an end (I think). This little beauty will be arriving tomorrow via UPS. It's the Tignanello Pebble Leather Domed Satchel with removable strap in midnight. This is the only handbag on my spring/summer list as the majority of my nine handbags were purchased within the past year. I do have a printed Nicole Miller satchel and a purple hobo that will come out to play once the fall/winter bags are put away. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/handbag-curiosity#post-540137 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 00:38:32 +0000 Jjsloane 540137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a one at a time bag girl too Mo! I have a small collection thanks to my SIL giving me fab bags, but at the moment I don't have anything that is perfect or that I want to tote around all spring/summer. I have a too big bronze woven Cole Haan and a too small woven red Cole Haan (both SIL). I bought a Tignanello green crossbody for NYC meet up (and it worked perfectly, but it is not for my everyday life - too small) I'd like something white or cream or orange. I had a fab white one last year from BCBG (SIL again) but the handle broke. Angie found a great multi colored bag at the Rack in NYC (white, tan and orange I think or was it pink/white/orange?), but I think it was too big for me. Kind of beach bag tote size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/handbag-curiosity#post-540136 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 00:38:29 +0000 rae 540136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm, I use most of mine year-round, but definitely feel drawn to my bright yellows, my bright red, and less structured cuts in summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/handbag-curiosity#post-540112 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 00:27:23 +0000 Mo 540112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll be honest, my purple Fossil has had liittle use this last year. Circumstances had me either housebound or walking. I take my wallet only to lighten my load when on foot.<br /> So I will be looking forward to actally using my Fossil, more than twice a month going out to eat lol!<br /> In the future I could see a brightly colored small crossbody possibly. But then again, much as I try, I'm really only a one-at-a-time kind of bag girl. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/handbag-curiosity#post-540109 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 00:24:35 +0000 Anonymous 540109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I just realized I have bought 4 bags in the past month or so! Python, two natural straw, one with wood handles and one with leather handles, and the tan leather Bannana Republic bag I found at the consignment store today! Add my bright blue dyed Elliott Lucca and I think that's a pretty good start.</p> <p>I would like to find a canvas cross-body that's really unstructured and packable that I can take hiking or to the beach and not worry about. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/handbag-curiosity#post-540107 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 00:21:15 +0000 Anonymous 540107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The only bag I'm lusting over is a large tote I saw a little while back. I held it, pet it for a while, and ended up not buying it. Sadly, it sold out.</p> <p>I desperately need a large enough bag to accomodate my laptop and necessities in one. The bag gets revamped every season but as it turns out, the hadware is no longer gold but silver. I know most people prefer silver hardware, but I do like gold.</p> <p>Long story short, I will not be buying anything unless I see this specific bag, in the gold hardware version.</p> <p>I use my bags all year long, even light bags in winter, so color is not really a consideration for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/handbag-curiosity#post-540103 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 00:18:47 +0000 Victoria 540103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been looking for Kelly style bag for a while, nothing so far </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/handbag-curiosity#post-540097 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 00:13:41 +0000 citygirldc 540097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just want something different that no one else has.
