Mulberry 'Polly' push lock shoulder bag

Mulberry 'Polly' push lock shoulder bag, $1050 at Net-A-Porter.
This bag definitely reminds me of my grandmother's bag that I have been dying to have when I was younger. I have forgotten about it and seeing this Mulberry bag brings back my longing to it. Unfortunately, the bag is no more.

Hype two-tone lambskin satchel

Hype two-tone lambskin satchel, $305 previously $375 at Last Call by Neiman Marcus.
Mom bought me three satchels and I just love them! I don't buy bags these days because it's either I couldn't find the perfect bag for my taste or I really liked the bag but it is too expensive. I am glad that my mom has the same taste in bag as I have.

Valentino 'Demmetra' double handle satchel

Valentino 'Demmetra' double handle satchel, $2295 at Nordstrom.
This is completely off the title of this post but I just have to share this with you.

My mom went in for a visit about three weeks ago. I was glad that she came because I haven't seen her for five years and it's the first time that she will see her grandson. Although I wasn't able to be with her for a longer time because I have to work during daytime, knowing that there is someone waiting for me to go home is a wonderful feeling.

When she left about a week ago, she sent me a text message telling me how proud she is because I am a career woman and a responsible mother. It was the first time she ever said those words to me and so I burst into tears. She's not an affectionate kind of mom, she just do everything to show how much she loves us.

Envelope clutches and tribal prints are in this season and so Moyna thought of combining the two to give you the best of both worlds in a reasonable price. Ladies, meet 'Ikat' beaded clutch.

LaLucca Fall/Winter 2011 Collection

LaLucca 'Zoe' tote, $475.
A gorgeous tote from my new found bag shopping haven--LaLucca.  I am choosy when it comes to bag, it is the main reason why I own only a few. A friend actually sent me the line sheets of LaLucca and the moment I laid eyes on the photos, it was love at first sight.

And to give you proofs that I am not exaggerating, here are some of the line sheets from the brand's Fall/Winter 2011 Collection.

The cover that caught my attention.

Clutches that will go with you wherever, whenever.

Hand painted bags if you are feeling quirky. Designed by Aleksandar Kirilov.

Yes, Jimmy Choo is into a lot of buckles lately but boy, he's so great at it that I am swooning over this tiger print shoulder bag.

This 'Blythe' shoulder bag is made of snakeskin and calfskin with tiger print.
