Saffiano Leather Tote

I recently got my hands on the North/South version of this tote and it is a total beauty, the ridges on the bag add an extra touch to the style, I love the inside contrast in burgundy pockets with the grey gunmetal color of the bag, it has a nice shape and structure so the bag doesn't slouch too much.
It's lightweight it's perfect for everyday use and the gunmetal color is excellent for fall and winter, I can see myself wearing skinny jeans, tall riding boots, a grey sweater along with this beautiful bag, Coach Saffiano north/south tote  adds a touch of elegance and the clean lines of the bag make you look put together effortlessly.
The picture Was taken out and about so it's not good quality but the bag is so versatile that is hard for me to put it down.

Coach Barbie

Who didn't play with barbies as a child?? I know I remember my grandma sending me a beautiful Barbie doll with light pink puffy skirt and iridescent sweetheart neckline top, what I loved the most were the accessories that came with it, a diamond ring and matching earrings, soft pale pink high heels, a pink sash and a nice tiara... My love for Barbie comes more for the memories of where that first doll came from than anything else; now many, many years later the pretty doll has been styled with my favorite leather goods brand, Coach launched a limited edition of Barbie with a leather duffle handmade just in the same fashion as real life size coach bags are made, the doll comes with a trench coat that matches a classic staple from the brand,  accessorized with sunglasses and shoes from a previous collection, Barbie has gotten a great makeover in my opinion.
The Barbie was released last month and sold out the same day in a matter of a few hours...
 

Coach Nadia Moc

I recently ordered these shoes as they were part of the shoe sale, I had read all the reviews on them and although there were pros and many cons on them I still was lusting over the shoes, so I decided to go ahead and and get them...
I LOVE them, the color is beautiful, they fit like a glove and are the most soft comfortable shoes ever, because these are made of suede leather I knew they will need extra care, I already had a suede kit and the first time I wore them out I saw dirt marks on the toe area, once I got home out went my suede eraser and brush leaving my beauties like new once I was done; while I realize that I will have to clean them after every use I'm okay with that, this was no surprise to me and I went into my purchase knowing that already so I don't have any complaints on that end.
I'm excited to bust these puppies out in the colder months, I'm eyeing the brown leather ones on the site but I will have to wait for that...

 

Poppy Blaire Tote from Coach

I purchased this tote when it came out back in June, the inside layout is great as it has a large open pocket where a tablet can fit, it has lots of room to carry your essential and more, I love the combination of matte black leather on the front and back and the patent leather on the side panels of the bag, the corners have a grey tone contrast leather that makes the shape of the bag stand out.
The details on the back zipper with the small turnlock on it adds a cute touch on a bag that is all business but small details like the the turnlock and the bow leather on the handle add a touch of femininity, Coach did an excellent job on this bag, my sister looked at the bag and asked to borrow it, it is now sitting pretty in her office and she loves it because it fits all her papers and her laptop as well.
This is an online exclusive of Coach and it's still on their site, signing up for their email list is good as Coach sometimes sends special promotions with discounts, they are sent randomly but is good to take advantage when those come in, sometimes is 25% off your purchase or $100.00 off a $300.00 purchase, depending on the season they might have a restriction as in a particular style will not be included in the promotion but there are always so many pretties on the site that those discounts come handy, anyway, enough of my little rave about discounts... This bag is a great addition for a working gal that likes to keep herself organized while looking stylish ❤



Audrey tote and Sophia satchel


As a bag lover, I definitely adooore collecting bags that not only are they pretty, and on trend but also that are versatile and functional.
The leather tote is actually the small size (there is another one called "medium" which is quite large) and I found this tote to be very efficient, I love the perforated design on the front, this is the Audrey tote that was released last year it is roomy and perfect for every day use.
I love leather over fabric but I like the Sophia satchel, I decided to go with black fabric to protect the bag since fabric in my opinion would show signs of wear faster than leather, the satchel is small in size for me, it has enough room to fit a large wallet, cosmetic case, keys, sunglasses case and there's still some room in the bag, all in all the size is good but in my opinion I will try to stick with leather.

Little Helper


I enjoy buying like bags and small trinkets, this was a purchase I made back in march, this is a coin purse and I must say, I normally go for leather understated pieces, I loved the idea of finding this little surprise in my purse when I'm looking for something in there.
It has 6 slot compartments inside so I actually can use this as a small wallet, not to mention the outside pushlock pocket.
There was a larger version made into a wristlet that came out shortly after but I just didnt find it as useful as the coin purse, the wristlet only had one inside pocket so that would mean my cards (if I wanted to use it as a wallet) would just be floating around loose and that is not something that would look organized to me so I stuck with the coin purse which I love!

Comfy Kicks ;)


I'm not big on sneakers, or I have never been crazy about them but this year I  have been a little more adventurous with my accessories and color choices.
The black pair was purchased earlier this year and the best part was that I got them with a discount, Coach normally runs discounts for their customers and these were on sale with an additional 25% off, what I love about them is the fact that they are very well constructed, these shoes in particular have python embossing on the leather toe and heel caps as well as along the lace line, and although these shoes do have the signature C's on them (personally I'm not a big fan of showing off the brand's logo) I like that they are black on black so it is not really that noticeable and what actually stands out is the python detail and high top style.
The second pair has actually more of an oldschool style to it, again, these are not something I would normally go for but I wanted to get out of my comfort zone and get something I probably wouldnt purchase, the red suede detail on these bad boys sets them apart from the regular Coach shoes and although the brand is listed on the side, it is blended with red and blue in a subtle way; the only thing I'm not too crazy about is the cream suede on the back, I like the concept of it but the fact that my jeans have rubbed on and left bluish marks was disappointing, a suede brush can take care of the markings but that just makes these awesome shoes a bit delicate for me so needless to say as much as I love these I dont wear them as often as I would like... maybe I will try and venture out in my closet and try and wear them with something other than jeans, perhaps tucked-in jeggins? I guess possibilities can be endless ;)
