Be different. That's right. You don't have to get what everyone else is wearing RIGHT now. Do you. Which means this... In honor of #NationalHandbagDay, I'm divulging a little secret today. Handbags I think are my number one love when it comes to items I obsess over. Some women are shoe lovers. I love shoes, I love jewelry, I love lipstick, but I love bags more than anything else. I actually consider myself more of a collector because I like … [Read more...]
Must Have Bags
I couldn't go today without acknowledging it. It's national handbag day. Yes, we can all agree there's now a day for EVERYTHING, and some ridiculous things. But this is not a ridiculous one. Hail to the handbag, yes I said that. Why do I love them so much? I really can't answer that other than I've loved bags and looking pretty from a young age. Bags I think are an accessory that can be as powerful as our outfit, can define how we … [Read more...]
The One Bag Every Woman Needs
I love my clutches. Crossbodys are pretty great too. But honestly, we all know, on a day to day basis, most of us women haul a lot of stuff around. What kind of stuff? The usual... like my wallet, my sunglasses, my keys, my mints, gum, my lipstick bag (that has about 7 of the same color lipsticks.... you might relate!), my ziplock baggie of my energy drink Fizzy Sticks, aspirin, my extra battery pack for my phone, hair ties and clips. … [Read more...]
Nordstrom Fall Clearance Sale
I don't know if you guys really know how much I love sales. I don't obsess over them BUT I feel like I've scored MAJOR when I get a good deal. On anything really. I'll pay full retail if I must, but if I can find awesome gorgeous finds either on sale or just find a deal on it, I feel like I MAJOR scored. Like I WON! It's kinda silly, but I'm prouder of my finds on sale than those not. Crazy huh? So I always shop the sale racks first. … [Read more...]
I confess…
I have a serious problem. Ok. Well, many who have known me for a long time know I have a couple of serious problems, right? Well, I'm coming here publicly now to confess to one of them. Purses. This is just one obsession. Truly. I'll purge some other "issues" I have with you on future episodes of THE OP LIFE Therapy for Irene. But for now, let's stick with this matter at hand. The fact that a new spring season is upon us isn't helping … [Read more...]
Bag Lady
Purses are my thang. You don't want to know how many times a day I browse all these sites that email me with their "one day" specials, or "featured vintage designers" they have for me to drop some change with them. I'm always hunting.... no need to gather any more, but hunting for great styles, unique looks, and of course, I gotta have a bargain. Seasons changing, I put the big orange Marc Jacobs away (I call her "the pumpkin") because when … [Read more...]
