So It's Finally Spring....

And you're thinkin' that a green bag would be just the right thing to bring a bit of kick to your Spring wardrobe...

But you don't have all the bucks in the world to pull that off?

Well over at The Pretty Pear Ms. Colleen hooks you up with some lovely budget friendly vert bags.....

Found: green handbags that aren't $250!

Of course I had to go and look and I must say they are great choices! Sadly, the Nine West bag does not appear to be available in green any more - but that pale metallic gold version is smokin'! And as for me, I'm lovin' the Nine and Co in black or white!

When you think Burberry....

You can't help but think plaid, plaid and more plaid!

But it appears that they aren't a one trick pony....



Burberry Trench Belt Hobo - $895.00

Gryson for Target

I'm not usually a big fan of the whole "weaved" look for bags, but these I like! (I even like that semi-clear tote - and my usual position on clear bags is that a bag is to hide your stuff - not display it!)

At a range of $14.99 - $49.99 you know you can buy more than one!

Nieman Marcus does a two-fer....

Grechen's Closet gives the heads up....

Neiman Marcus Buy 2 Event

Sadly, it's in store only.

However, Neiman's is also offering a little shopping love to their online customers as well...



Personally, I think the in store deal Ms. Grechen's sites is better, especially for handbag buyers. But if you don't have a Neiman nearby, the online deal could work for you!

I would be totally remiss....

If I didn't point you to this post over at Bag Bliss

Getting a good bag and doing good? Priceless.

Leather and canvas...oh yeah....

Murval Patent Oversize Tote - $50.00

I'm not much of a beach gal myself - but if I was this is the kind of tote I'd be swinging on my arm on the way to the sand!

And speaking of Mulberry bags....

Jody Shoulder Bag - est. $600.00 US

I love a bag that does double duty - and the fold over design of this one lets it act as both a purse and a tote! Sweet!

It's not available now - but you can sign up for an e-mail notification at the link!

Yes, the Mulberry bags can be a bit pricey, however it is possible to purchase one for under $1000 - so expect to see them featured here often! ;-)

Banana Republic's Sutton Large Straw Shoulder Bag- $198.00

Check out the inside!



I fingered this bag in the store and trust me it feels as lush as it looks! I'm not usually a straw bag fan, but I can definately see myself swinging this classic tote on my arm this summer!

And it's a fab alternative to this pricey tote ; - ):



Hermes MM Garden Bag - $1,550.00

A couple of under $500 bags....

Spotlighted over at Bag Bliss:

Burberry Patchwork Check Bucket Bag

I'm not a big Burberry or patchwork on bags fan, but I rather like this one! And I love the two-fer - a bag that comes with a makeup case says bang for your buck to me!

Cole Haan Village Soft Triple Zip Bag

Once again, I'm not a fan of the pleated bag, but I know many ladies are. And there's something about the soft color and look of this bag that does appeal to me.
