You Can't Always Get What You Want.....

NOT!!!!

This saying does not apply to my girls!

We may not get what we want this week or even this year...but it's on our list and our radar and we'll get around to it as soon as possible.

So when one of my girl's emailed with her new fabulous addition to her bag collection, we all swooned and ooh'd and ahh'd.

She began by sending a pic and asking if we liked.  Well, to be honest although I had heard of Celine before, I was not familiar with their handbags....so of course, I had to Google my ass off.....and thus the beginning of a love affair began.

(Sorry it's sideways...but the rotation did not save.)

Oh and her story is just the best. 

Nothing like finally bringing home a bag that you've been thinking about and longing for.

"So, the bag I just sent...I went crazy when I got it.  It's the Celine Shopper/Luggage Tote.  I decided I had to have this bag instead of the RL one we saw here in ATL, but after some research, realized that this was going to be one of those bags that you can't get your hands on (although, not as ridiculous as the Birkin).  In both DC and ATL, stores either don't carry Celine or they received one of each color and already sold out (including Jeffrey's at Phipps).  Anyway, we were up in NYC for New Year's and one of the to do lists was find this damn bag...sold out everywhere, so got on wait list at Bergdorfs...THEN, we went to Barneys.  We separated for a few minutes so I could check the women's shoes, and he could do his thing.  Low and behold, this man had pre-purchased this bag a week before (the very LAST one that someone had called in for and put on hold, but didn't come pick it up in the 2 hour time limit), and had the salesman "presented" it to ME:):):)  As you can imagine, I was going crazy in the middle of Barneys...could not believe it.  Anyway, Santa was good this year.  And yes it is in the closet only to be used on weekends or the occasional weeknight ...you would have thought I had a baby wrapped up next to me on my flight last night...I didn't want nobody squishing or handling it:-) "

To the left is the "Shopper" to the right is the "Luggage" Tote.  You can tell the difference in strap length.




The more I look, the more I like....  Let the Purse Porn begin!!!!

Wasn't this fun?!  Gotta say after my thorough investigation,
