Welcome Spring in with the Big Buddha Denise Tote.  I don’t know about you, but in the PNW, Spring is a little slow to show it’s warm welcoming face.  That’s why I like this Denise Tote.  It’s a nice splash of color without being super bright and offensive to the eyes in slightly overcast weather. The gathering at the top and scrunched front pockets also serve as great complimentary assets to the bag. Plus who can resist that lovely under $100 price tag and free shipping?

Saw this Chinese Laundry Embroidered tote bag and fell in love with it at first glance.  First, like I promised my next few posts would be, this bag is under $100 at a lovely price of $59.  The grey with yellow embroidery is a perfect way to end the winter and bring in the spring.  Why, you ask?  Grey goes with tons of bright spring colors like blue, pink, purple and orange.  Plus, if you’re stuck the Pacific Northwest, you’ll also still have your share of rainy cloudy days mixed in with the clear crisp ones…a muted grey toned bag will match the environment nicely.

Example of applying Tip 3 from my previous post: this SR Squared Sondra Roberts Mermaid hobo.  This is a trendy bag, that I like.  It says flapper girl and mermaid at the same time to me.  The dark colors keep it from looking tacky and I think it’s an all around fun bag to spice up a look.  Plus at $45, it’s at the perfect price range.

We’re in a recession, there’s not way to sugar coat it.  And with that, although I still have a good job, I find myself being a bit more conscious of how I spend or save my money.  Over the next several posts I’ll reveal some of my smart shopping tips and hints.  And with that, my first tip:

Tip 1: Just like a diet, I don’t deprive myself totally, otherwise a must more costly ($$$) binge is more likely to occur.  So instead, I look for deals when I go shopping and to make my spending count for more. 

So here’s a deal for ya’ll. The Jessica Simpson Tempest Hobo.  Stylish and well priced.  A great purchase if you’re looking for a bag that will match a lot of things in anyone’s wardrobe, while being different from the usual black or brown.
