seventh top ten - favourite bags ...

i am a bag lady. i could say it is because i need a lot of them to carry all my baggage, but that is corny, overused, and not as true as it once was. but i still love bags. and i have A LOT of them. i don't have any clothes in my two drawer dresser, but there is an entire drawer full of bags. and a bunch hanging on the back of my bedroom door ... yup. i love 'em all! but here are my top ten (well, 9 brands and 11 bags, but who's counting?) favourites - in alphabetical order:

coach leather hobo - on the wish list
dooney & bourke small double handle tote - on the wish list
harvey's seatbelt bag - very high on the wish list
kalani cropper (hand, shoulder & tote) - i have one of each, this is a pic of the tote - a friend in LA makes them and i was able to pick the materials!!
kate spade (travis, claire, & sam) - i have a travis in black corduroy and a claire in black nylon - the sam remains on the wish list ...
louis vuitton trouville - i have a "version" of this a coworker brought back from china ... (shhh!) ... and it isn't really on my wish list anymore because even i have limits on what a purse should cost and $1200 is definitely over that limit!! but i do love the structure of the bag - very convenient!
lululemon shopping bag - yes, i wanna be trendy. i have a large one and a small one. i purchased two water bottles in order to get them since apparently lulu doesn't believe plus size people do yoga.
MEC travel all shoulder bag - LOVE THIS BAG!! it has been the best bag for travel and at $15 (same as it was when i bought over 10 years ago) it is a screaming steal of a deal!!
tod's helmet zip bauletto media - ha ha! again, i would never pay the tod's price tag, but isn't that leather and colour to die for??

do you have a favourite bag?? please share - or better yet, just send me one so i can love it too!

there you have it ... 7 days of top tens to keep you entertained!

Your seven days of top tens were so fun!!! Now, I want to write everything in a top ten style!!! I have a hair post comin' that you inspired!

I just bought a new purse at Payless Shoe Source and it is yellow and so springy and I just love carrying it places!

I have a kalani cropper and love it. I also have a kim atchley. YOu should see the bags that she is making these days. AMAZING!

I love bags too but own hardly any! Whenever I go looking I just get overwhelmed and never end up purchasing any. But then I see people carrying really cute ones around and I wish I had one too. Maybe I ought to do bag shopping with you!

Just wanted to lend my support for the Harvey's Seat Belt bag. I've had a black one for about 8 years now, use it all the time, and it still looks new! It is an amazing bag, and definitely worth the investment. The most I've ever spent on a purse. Happy I did it all those years ago.

i feel like i was a late bloomer when it came to owning a purse, but now that i'm on board, it's addicting, you feel like you have to have just the right bag to go w/an outfit. i am a huge fan of yellow purses, have practically worn mine out. found this little cutie at aldo: p.s., it's on sale right now aldo berbenno in spring yellow.

The MEC bag was $15 when I bought it closer to 15 years ago, too. I have never never needed another since then, and it has lasted valiently through daily wear all that time. Thing is, so many of my friends have one too that we have to make sure we leave with the right one.

(Ah, but now I see they come in Other Than Black.)

I just got my first Coach and I'm enjoying it immensely. I didn't think I would, but I got sucked in. And anything by Kate Spade makes me so happy!!

I love how stylish you are! I really like the giraffe patterned purses. I have some cute pictures of my girls in the kalani cropper skirt you gave them. I will have to show them to you!
