PURSE COLLECTION REVIEW!

Saturday, November 14, 2009
So like I said in the last post, Mandy requested to show my purses and along with Ashley who agreed she wanted to see them too. (you know you could see them up close in personal but lol) I re-took all the pictures and spent time explaining everything there is about the bags!




I took this picture on Thursday, I'm missing one bag from here but I did take a separate picture of it today. :) Well guys, this is my purse collection.

Let's start off with the big purses and work our way down!






Harajuku Lovers Uh-Oh Tote in Heart logo (I'm not sure if this is what the print is called!)

I got this 2 years ago via eBay! It was $30 shipped and was such a deal! Uh-Oh totes usually go for more but since the seller made a mistake spelling the name (she spelled it Harajuka ;D) so I was the only one who bid on it! It is a really big bag for school and toting around a lot of things. About 18 x 24 x 6. I currently carry it for school and its perfect! It has 4 huge pockets and a inside pocket too! This is my fave bag to just tote around except its just kinda big! Haha..






Harajuku Lovers Candy Tote in Teacher's Pet

This was probably the best freaking deal I ever gotten at Ross! I was at Ross one day just for the hell of it, the one near my house is pretty messy so I never find anything really but I saw this one on the floor or on the back of the rack and checked the price.. IT WAS LIKE 7 BUCKS! I was so shocked I had to buy it! It was a bit dirty but it was still a good bag! I had to buy it or I would be kicking myself later! It is also pretty big! 18 x 15 x 5. I don't carry this one as much though, usually when I go out to a friends house or whenever I need to carry something like my MacBook and a few other things.




Candies Patent Black Hobo

I got this from Seventeen. ;D I won it during their freebies thing. It was such a surprise cause I was just messing around. I blogged about it here! Its a really good bag! I take it around when I need to carry my MacBook and other big stuff like my make up bag. I usually carry this bag to school whenever I feel like matching with my clothes. Since my HL bag matches with nothing. LOL. Its about 18 x 14 x 4!






Dooney & Bourke Crossword Large Lara Bag

This is my first designer bag. Melissa got it for me for Christmas! I got it at the outlets for about $90. Such a deal since on the website it still goes for $265! I always loved Dooney & Bourke bags since I was little. That duck logo is so adorable. :D Its a good shoulder purse, 14 x 17 (including straps) x 4.5. I love yellow by the way, so I had called both outlets here in Orlando looking for this bag and I finally found it! :)






White w/ Yellow and Silver Studded Clutch

It originally had straps before but I took it off. This is one of the many thrifting finds I have! What drew me to this bag was the studs, I'M A SUCKER FOR THEM. I love how edgy this bag is and how loud it is. I certainly can bring this out when I go somewhere and it will turn heads! 13 x 10 x 2! Its pretty big with a hella lot of pockets and room and the best part is that it was $1.91. :)




Brown Leather Liz Claiborne Shoulder Purse

I can take the straps off the bag and wear it as a clutch, which is a big plus! I saw this bag and I really like the old look of it, like its been really loved. LOL! Its about 11.5 x 8 x 2.5. I also got this at the thrift store for $1.91.




Black Quilted Pleather Chain Strapped Purse

I love these types of purses. Since a Chanel bag is SO NOT IN MY BUDGET.. (maybe one day!) these will have to do! I also got this at the thrift store! I have no idea how much this one was but trust me, if I got it at the thrift store.. its not higher then 5 bucks. I believe its the biggest out of my quilted purses. 9.5 x 9 x 2.5.






This one has to be the most funnest bag I have. Its made out of a slinky aluminum material. I know there's a specific name for it but I can't put my finger what it's called right now. The straps is like the same material also. Found it at the thrift store for $2.92! Its 9.5 x 7.5 x 2, probably the most beat up one I have but still I really like it. :)







Bronze Gold Studded Chain Strapped Purse

This is my most worn bag ever. I love this freaking bag! Yes, I got it at the thrift store.. and its my HOLY GRAIL OF QUILTED PURSES! (besides my future Chanel LOL) Like I said, I HEART STUDS. I've worn this bag to death and I plan on keeping it until I have children who will have their own kids and I can possibly pass it down to them. It's 9.5 x 6.5 x 2.






Navy Quilted Chain Strapped Purse

ANOTHER THRIFT STORE FIND.. (can you figure out I love thrifting?) I haven't worn this bag out yet. Since I wear mostly blues, its hard for me to match with this bag without looking weird. I know there were plenty of times I could have worn it but I was too lazy to switch out my bag! It's 9 x 6 x 2.




Nine West Cream Chain Strapped Purse

Last but not least! This one is another bag I got at the thrift store. It was my first one I got with Cydni. :D Even though its small, I still like it as much as my other bags. Whenever I learn to pack lightly, I'll be sure to wear this out more. :)



So yeah! Thats my entire purse collection! If your currently wanting a quilted purse, look at your local thrift store. As you can see, I found so much but look out for fake designer brands. If it says Made in China on the tag and it is the only tag in the bag, its fake and it should be burned. Watch out for Coach bags also, the fakes they have are so good you have to look out for tiny little details like the zipper! (like a real Coach bag will have YKK on their zippers. My mother's coach bag has YKK on the zippers and her's was purchased at a Coach store.) Just watch out for buying fakes, even though its cheap.. don't re-buy something that isn't real. Its my opinion on fakes but if you have no shame in wearing a fake bag, go ahead and do your thing. I'm just sayin'!

Saturday blogging feels good! I'm glad I got this done finally to show everyone my awesome purse collection. ;D

Oh oh, last night when I was watching MY FAVE Chinese singer Raymond Lam in concert(I told my dad I was gonna marry him! xD He's like 10 years older then me!), I did my nails!







Inspired by my Hello Kitty x M.A.C. quad, I decided to finally do my nails like how I usually did them! In the first picture, a part of the black ribbon fell off so I had to re-paint it with my brush. Its a bit messy but still cute!

Ahh 2 updates on the same week! I'm getting back into that blogging thing. ;D My week was eh! Hopefully my weekend is better but I'm really sad I'm too broke to go to H&M to look at the new Jimmy Choo stuff.. sigh!
