Handbag Haven:

      My blogger friend Paris and I like to do something called "pretend shopping." Meaning we scour all our favorite web sites essentially "window shopping" from the comfort of our own homes and at the end of the venture we swap our favorite online finds. Anyway, while "pretend shopping" for vintage handbags on ebay.com I decided to check out my own personal handbag collection and I realized I really don't need anything new! Sometimes instead of looking at all the things you don't own, its better to "shop within your closet." Rediscover items you forgot about or sell the items you no longer use at a consignment store! 

These are the hidden gems found in 

my stash of purses that I have been 

collecting over the last several years:

shoulder bag (see what I carry in this bag here)

10: Random grey faux fur studded clutch scored

Yours,

Nico

PS, don't forget to store your purses in their dust bags to reduce damage!
