Sole Intuition – A Fusion of Insight and Style

There’s just something about a quilted bag that I find so appealing, so divine. I think they make such a dignified statement. Though I’m not typically a fan of red, the Marc Jacobs Desir Stam Quilted Leather Satchel caught my eye.

The stunning satchel has been updated for the season in luxurious quilted leather with cracked and stamped finish. It has double handles, a long detachable shoulder strap and gold-tone hardware. It also features an exterior zip pocket and top kisslock closure with interior zip pocket.

If the price were say, $1000 less expensive, it would so make it’s way home with me. But it’s not…so it won’t. It will remain an item on my ever-expanding Fantasy File.

Am I the only one who didn’t know that Vans made handbags? I”m glad I found out because I’m really feeling The Don’t Get It Twisted Handbag.

It features twisted straps and a quilted pattern at the top with inner zip pocket. I love it because it’s simple and cute, not to mention it’s big enough for me to just throw my life into it.  Be sure to leave a comment on this Bag Attitude while I go check out more of what Vans have to offer.

I’ve never been able to get into the whole eBay “thing”. I know so many who purchase (and sell) via eBay without even thinking twice but I’m either too nervous or something so I’ve yet to give it a try. I’m also still trying to determine what the “or something” is, so bear with me. I’m very much into designer handbags like the next stylista and there’s a huge selection from which to choose on eBay. My concern has always been whether the bag is authentic or not because I could only image how irate I’d become if I spent money on something that was described as authentic to find out that it was not.

Rather than shop on eBay, I think I’m going to give Yoogi’s Closet a whirl. Yoogi’s takes shopping and authenticity seriously, so you’re guarenteed to only find authentic items on the site. They even have Lucky mag vouching for them, so you’re in good hands. You have your pick from a fabulous array of handbags, shoes and jewelry, so I’m sure you’ll be able to find something you like.

So, I really want to hear from you all on this topic. Are you willing to take a chance and buy a designer good via eBay or do you stick to actual retail stores? Would you consider giving a site like Yoogi’s Closet a chance? Be sure to comment as I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Since I’ve been working so hard lately, I do believe it’s about time I purchase myself a designer bag. Though I’m looking for a bag that will have a bit more longevity (and a lower price tag), I still can’t help but find myself coveting the Burberry Prorsum Medium Osprey Leather Tote.

The silver leather tote, having a fringing effect, features one handle, ruching at the sides, studs on the base and has black designer-stamped lining. In case you’re wondering about the color, it’s a “designer color” called Metallic Trench. Nice, right? Be sure to comment and let me know what you think of this Fantasy File.

I’m beginning to love clutches more and more, the big ones that is. I think they’re super chic and it wouldn’t hurt for me to add one or two to my collection. The reMade USA Valencia Clutch is upcycled from used leather jackets. In case you were wondering, upcycling means converting waste materials or useless products into new ones better quality. Smart, right?

The black scrap leather envelope clutch measures 13″ × 8.5″ and is also leather lined. Sweet!
