So I am sure you, my beautiful smart readers can guess what I am going to gush about from the lovely montage of pictures I put together for your viewing,, may I introduce the current love of my fashionista life (I love C so much more than this bag)  :

The Abbey Road Hand Bag

By Lucky Brand

Oh, it is a beauty! It’s made of Iamb leather, with a cloth interior. Multiple interior pockets to help organize, including a zippered pocket. There is also an exterior zippered pocket. The strap has many positions that it can be secured in, two different lengths of ‘messenger bag’ (or over the shoulder/across the body) style & two different lengths for under the arm carrying.. As you can see there are also handles to carry by hand or on the crook of your arm if you wish (it is also possible to slip this over your shoulder if you have skinny shoulders), this  changes the appearance of the bag dramatically (the size also). There are a great range of color choices for this fabulous bag;: white, black, tan, purple, teal, cranberry, silver (I think, I could be wrong), and a brown & tan with a really cool leather flower on it.

My mom and I were out on one of our many shopping trips together when we found this great bag. We both instantly fell in love and couldn’t stop talking about it the rest of the day. This talking continued on for months. We would pick out outfits and then think about how perfectly they would go with the Lucky bag. So, eventually we both had to give in and each get our own. My mom got the brown & tan bag with the leather flower. I chose the teal bag (the one pictured in the montage above). I LOVE IT. I am so excited to use it (I am saving it for New York…more on that in a little bit)!

Buffalo Plaid is another one of my current fashion choices. When I saw the picture featured in the upper left-hand corner of the montage, I knew it was an outfit I was going to do my own personal twist on. I love the long-sleeves rolled up and paired with shorts, the boots, and of course I can’t get enough of the wonderful bag.

As I hinted towards earlier, I will be going to New York for a couple days. My mom and I will be going shopping, to a couple museums, shows, the Statue of Liberty (my mom has never been to it), and many other locations that I cannot wait to tell you all about. I am so excited about the pictures to come and adventures and stories I will have to share with you all.

I have planned out so many of my outfits already, I am traveling as light as possible since I can only take a carry on and one personal item (yes, I know…ouch!), so I have to plan ahead!

Here is my rendition of the outfit pictured in the first montage. I will of course be accessorizing with my Lucky Brand Abbey Road bag in teal and usual jewelry which consists of my tiffany heart necklace (on a ball chain that can be worn long or short, I wear it all the time), hoop earrings (the earrings change with my mood), my blue cocktail ring, my roman numeral ring (from C), my tanzanite and diamond ring from my grandparents, & the wedding band of my great grandmother and grandmother (worn on my tiffany necklace). The shoes pictured are close to what I will be wearing…I couldn’t find a picture of the exact ones, BCBG black patent with a gold zipper up the side. And of course big sunnies (sunglasses…we just had some guests from New Zealand, they taught me many new phrases).

Do you usually plan your outfits when you go on trips?

What bag are you currently crazy for?

Are you into the current wayfarer sunglasses craze?
