This Kate Spade New York Cobble Hill Canvas Dot Carson shoulder bag/clutch is the one I think I will keep!
This cross body/clutch bag is fun! Most of it is canvas but the flap cover is cowhide. I was kind of unsure about it, but one of the sales girls was wearing a black dress and she modeled for me using this bag as a clutch, and I was sold right away! I need a clutch anyway. The best part... it was only $70 after all the discounts are taken into account! It retailed for $228, and Kate Spade has it on sale now for $159. So Bloomingdale's is half of that. It is totally totally worth it.
As you can see, the flap cover has a big zipper on it, and it is a huge pocket once you unzip it. The bag is about a foot long, so it actually will hold a lot even though it's not very wide.
The inside has a zipper pocket on one side and smaller cell phone/misc items pockets on the other side:
I also got this Coach Madison Small Phoebe leather shoulder bag in chestnut for my mom! I think she'll love it. I wouldn't mind keeping it either, since it is such a good deal and it's rather cute! It was only $110! I think that's a great price for a pretty big leather bag. The leather is really nice and soft, and it has soooo much room inside! Perfect for my mom actually. She is rather disorganized and having 3 compartments might force her to be more organized? I don't know, maybe it would do the opposite and she'd never be able to find anything! Whatever, I still think it's a nice Mother's Day present! This is how big it is on me:
This chestnut brown color is a nice neutral, but there are also tons of other colors on Coach's website. It's $358 on there though. I don't see this color either. Maybe it's an older color.
I really like how this bag is a cross between a structured bag and a drapey one:
So there's 2 larger side compartments and one zippered one in the middle:
Anyway, so what I really went there to pick up today was this Aqua Skull & Studs scarf! It sells out super quick apparently, and they get a lot of requests to restock this print. I happened to snatch it up when someone returned it last time I was there. I don't know why I like this one since I'm not normally a fan of skulls! It's also on sale, from $88 to like $40 something. It is 100% wool.
The colors are tan and navy. There are studs on some of the skull eyes at the ends of the scarf:
I actually had to pick up another scarf in order to qualify for the discount, so I got the Aqua elephant print circle scarf. This one is cheaper, but it doesn't feel as nice. I think I'll return it.
It's pretty long, and can wrap around my head 3 times!
I think I might go back to Bloomingdale's while I'm in San Francisco this weekend! There were a lot of other cute bags that I could have bought. But sometimes I exercise self-restraint. I want to look for another one for my grandma though! There's still 2 weeks till Mother's Day. Normally I scramble at the last minute trying to find something. But thanks to this private sale, I am so on top of it this year!
Awesome haul. Where's the dress you're wearing in the pics from?
ReplyDeleteI got it from Forever 21 a couple years ago. =)
DeleteAnd belt is Ann Taylor
DeleteI have this coach bag it's awesome. I think chestnut was out last year!
ReplyDeleteThat Coach bag is to die for! And just an FYI, Tory Burch has replaced Kate Spade as the current most coveted brand to don. Lol!
ReplyDeleteLol that makes sense! A lot of people wear Tory Burch in LA too...
DeleteWould you ever be interested in selling this Kate Spade bag?? I love it! Will buy!
