What's Your Favorite Handbag??

    Ok ladies, this post is for you! I OWN about 30 handbags. 

    I'm not sure if that's a lot - but if I had to guess, I'd say YES!  Every 6 months to a year I try to give one away... especially if I'm not using it. Either to a family member, friend or Salvation Army

    The reason I buy a specific handbag is because I like the design or I like how it goes with most of the clothing I wear.... + Good quality.

    Where do I get most of my bags? 
    • Directly at the designer's store.
    • Ebay
    Now, buying bags on Ebay can be a tricky thing. If you don't know how to distinguish a real bag from a fake, I'd think twice about hitting the BUY button. There are countless videos on YouTube that you can watch that help guide you on how to spot a fake bag!!  Even then, be careful on Ebay.  So far, I've been fortunate to not run into any trouble there.

    However, today I wanted to know what brand of bag do you prefer? If you had to pick one bag from your closet....which would it be? Brand name?????

    I know that not everyone reading my blog can AFFORD a designer handbag like the ones below, so if it's something simple you bought for less than $100, that's fine too!! A pricier handbag doesn't make a person ANY better, it's just a crazy obsession some of us have developed....

Glimpse into My Master Closet...(Via Made By Girl)

    Ahhh Monday again. Did you have a good weekend? I know some of you were snowed in with the storms, hopefully you're out & about today! The weather has been amazing here, couldn't ask for better!

    On another note, this weekend we finished my MASTER CLOSET! Well, it's actually 98% finished. I'm still considering getting some LEOPARD print wallpaper for the section you can't see behind the doorway.

    It's such a PLEASURE walking into my closet now, thanks to my dear husband, who made it all happen. I am in awe of his abilities & grateful to God for him! He bought the shoe shelves as plain wood at Home Depot and stained them to match the IKEA closet system. Brilliant!


    above: AFTER (so happy)

    below: BEFORE (so ugly)


    It's all soooo exciting! I have plenty of storage now, with a bunch of large drawers and shelving for all my clothing & more. The shoe & handbag shelves are my favorite part....it feels like a mini BOUTIQUE every time I walk into this closet!  

    When I first started the project, I was UNSURE which direction to head in.  However, I knew I wanted something GLAM..... you know, the chandelier, leopard print and shoes  stacked endlessly on display!  

    So, tell me...what do you think so far?

    (Click on pics for larger images)


    above: those are just a portion of my handbags, the rest are in the IKEA shelving and behind the door.

    I think I own 35 handbags. Is that a lot? How many do YOU OWN????
    I ACTUALLY had more shoes and handbags.....but I donated them.  If I don't use it after a year I will usually just donate it.


    above: My hanging clothes are to the right behind the closet door.
