Hermes Mini Bracelets

via Bagaholic Boy

When I saw these I knew I wanted one.  I've tried on the Kelly Double Tour a few times, but my wrist is too small for the double loop style, so this mini single loop version would be perfect!  I can't wait to see and try one on in real life.

Valentine's Day Wallets

Valentino

I've used smaller wallets my entire life, but lately I've been wondering if I should try one of these longer ones for a change.  I've been obsessed with all things Valentino for a while now, so that Rockstud Leather Wallet above really jumped out at me.

Reed Krakoff

The outside of this Reed Krakoff Color-Block Wallet caught my eye, but the interior color was a bit of a disappointment.

Proenza Schouler

And finally, this PS1 Continental Wallet in Raspberry.  For the longest time I'd been lusting after a PS1 satchel  but never quite bit the bullet.  Now I think I prefer this wallet instead.  I love the color, and  maybe this will be my little Valentine's treat to myself!

This actually wasn't even supposed to be a Valentine's Day post, but I realized while looking at the photos that the colors pretty much match the holiday, so why not become a V-Day post, right?  At least this way, some of my posts seem timely rather than always late, haha!

I've been on a bit of a polish kick lately, and when I read about these new NARS x Marc Jacobs polish and cashmere gloves collaboration on Vogue.com, I knew I wanted them.  The polish colors are exclusive to this collaboration and, according to the article, "they don't match the gloves, but complement them."  Sadly, they're only available at the Bleecker St. location and I don't think we're making another trip to New York this year.  Maybe they'll take orders over the phone? If they do, the only thing left to decide now is which color to get! 

Warby Parker

Warby Parker Becketts in Striped Evergreen

I heard about Warby Parker a while back and was intrigued and impressed by their one-for-one business concept.  Basically, they deliver a free pair of eyewear to someone who needs it for every pair they sell.  Now, if altruism by itself isn't a good enough reason to buy Warby Parker, their price is also great!  Each pair costs only $95 and this is including prescription lenses.  I also love that they allow you to choose up to 5 pairs at a time at try on at home for free so you can make sure you get the right frames for your face shape.  They simply mail the 5 pairs that you choose to your home, you have 5 days to decide which you want, then you mail them all back and order online.  How easy is that?

I enjoyed having the 5 pairs to try on at home, but none of them quite worked out for me.  Luckily, I was able to book an appointment at their NYC showroom when I was there last May and was able to try on almost all their models.  I was able to narrow it down to a few that I liked and finally decided on the Becketts in Striped Evergreen.  It's funny how they look quite green in the photos, but when I'm wearing them, they look black.

The entire process was super simple, and I'm tempted to get another pair soon.  Two or even three pairs of Warby Parkers cost less than my old pair of eyeglasses!  Can I even justify an eyeglass wardrobe?  Haha!

Luckily, they've also introduced sunwear.  If two pairs of glasses sound excessive, maybe one of them can be sunglasses, right?  I love the shape above, which is called the Mabel.  It doesn't seem like you can do a home try on for sunglasses, though.

Chanel Sunglasses

I never really thought about how sunglasses are made, but this is just so cool.

Must Resist!

Ack!  Must resist!  This Meredith Wendell large leather-trimmed raffia duffel is so cute it's screaming at me to buy it!  Someone stop me!

Summer Scarves

Summer is made for oversized gauzy scarves, and these are some of the ones I really really want. (Wait, did a Spice Girl song just play in your head?  No?  Just me, then.)

Dwell Studio Scarves

These would add such a pop of color to my mostly plain colored outfits for summer.  Also, I love how the bigger sized ones can be used as a blanket or even rolled up as a pillow when you're on the train.

More Kate Spade goodies

I was instantly smitten when I saw this post by goldenmeans this morning, and I couldn't help but post about the exact same things!

This bangle would be perfect for Valentine's Day, right? Or any other red-letter day. It also comes in ring form, but I can never order rings online as my fingers are too small, so this bangle will have to do.

And this clutch made me gasp out loud. It's too adorable, and even has red lining inside!  Oh, Kate Spade, you always have so many things I want need!

Rebecca Minkoff Pink MAC

I haven't done a bag post in a while, so I thought I should share my latest score.  Given that Pantone's color of the year for 2011 is honeysuckle pink, I thought this was appropriate.  I love Rebecca Minkoff's MAC Clutches because they're light yet still roomy enough for my essentials.  This pretty pink color pops against all the grays and blacks of winter and is so cheerful it makes me smile just looking at it.  The best part?  Getting this bag from the Rebecca Minkoff online Holiday Sale at an amazing price!  (The color is more accurate in the second photo.)

Chanel

Saw this via dress, design & decor and just had to share.  I admit, I love Chanel.  And I did pick up a little something in Paris last month.  Unfortunately, it's not for me since my mom asked me to get her a bag.

Next time it will be my turn!  Now if only the exchange rate would continue to work in my favor...:)

Lining

I'm loving the lining of my new bag. I like knowing that what looks like a plain bag from the outside has such a pretty surprise inside. Here's a closer look:
