I had to share this video I found on Yahoo! (click on thumbnail picture above or link below) which epitomizes how I feel about style and what I practice myself. As long as it fits right/looks good - then it doesn’t matter how much it costs, $5 or $500 (well…that upper limit is totally up to your discretion ;)) I’ve probably gotten just as many compliments on my dirt cheap sale bags/clothes as I have for all the ones that I’ve been like “ugh..I love it, but can I afford it?” about.  If anything I’m more willing to buy fun/risky/edgy things when they are bargains, because I know if I end up regretting it - so what? It was only a few $ rather than $$$$.

e.g. I match a pricey BCBG knit dress (that I actually removed the sleeves from), with a pair of pleather slouchy boots I picked up in Munich for <$50, with a Target jacket I got for around $30, all finished off with my lovely brown Longchamp Le Pliage tote. If you wear it well and are confident, no one will care or be able to tell.

Clean, soft, and almost shimmery - the Junior Drake ‘Kelly’ clutch in this taupe color is the perfect evening out clutch. The center detailing of this Junior Drake clutch is adds just the right touch to play off the Italian leather to give the Kelly an updated look from the classic gathered/ruched clutch look. The strap will easily loop around your wrist as you go from the art gallery to dinner and on - all the while being that perfect piece that brings together your entire look.  Oh and btw, this baby happens to be a cool 44% off right now, so grab it while you can.

Pockets, soft leather, and metal - this Junior Drake ‘Megan’ is the type of bag I’ve been seeing around here..from the Montparnasse to the Champs Elysees.  Plus the added bonus of that ‘distressed,’ not to be confused with ‘beat-up’ looked is great as well.  The Megan will definitely age well so no one will every know exactly how long you’ve had it (in case you’re like me with a bag fetish and can occasionally get embarrassed with people notice that yes..once again you’ve got a new bag in hand).  Oh and before I forget to mention, check out all the pockets! They aren’t the traditional magnetic or metal clasp pockets.  I love how the some of them get neatly tucked under a  leather strap that runs through the middle 1/2 of the bag.  This was a great idea by Junior Drake to do this and stand out.
