What Would Rachel Say?

Ask Rachel: Music Festival Buff

Excellent advice from one of my favorite stylists, Rachel Zoe.  I would also suggest to add a pop of color to your festival wardrobe. Here are some affordable examples.

My obsession the past month or so was to find the perfect new black handbag to replace my fabulous Isabella Fiore bag I found in Vegas (R.I.P.).  

I decided the perfect bag for me was a black leather Marc by Marc Jacobs handbag. (Unless someone can convince me otherwise!)  But it's hard for a girl to choose just one.  Here are some I love and some I can only dream about:

Marc by Marc Jacobs 

Chanel Spring/Summer 2012

Chanel Classic Large Flap

Marc by Marc Jacobs 

Fendi Mink-Trimmed Beaded Clutch

There to be a few obstacles in my way in obtaining my fav bags:

1. As of recent developments, I’m on a budget (that’s a whole different story...sigh...)
2. I live in Austin, TX.  This means shopping choices are limited.  I’ve checked the selections at Saks, Neimans, Nordstroms and a couple key boutiques.  This means I am forced to consider buying a new bag...GULP...online.  Unless I know for sure what I want, I am one of the old-fashioned shopping gals that prefers the hands-on experience.   I invite you to share with me any secret purse gems or shopping locales!
