this abbey road hobo bag from lucky brand.

wade's been hounding me to come up w/ a birthday wishlist (my birthday is just around the corner - aug. 4th). to tell you the truth ... though i'm always blogging about things that i love, there's very little that i actually need. and i always feel silly spending money if i don't need to. payback: his birthday is at the end of august and i expect a birthday wishlist as well (i don't expect this to be as difficult for him - though "1970s ford truck" and "rosetta stone arabic" are a little out of our price range.)

we once moved a friend of wade's and she had BAGS of bags - i mean like 6 large black garbage bags full of purses. i have um - maybe 4? maybe. however i've always wanted a leather bag. something nice, something real, something that can be used for years and years w/o going out of style. and maybe on clearance to make me not feel so bad about spending a little more $.

no, thank you:

this "tabitha" cat minaudiere from judith lieber. marked down from $3,295.00 to $1,699.90 currently on rue la la ... this cat purse is a steal {cough}. the purse is made up of gold-tone metal and champagne swarovski austrian crystals w/ optional chain strap. oh hey - not a cat lover? judith lieber has also designed a dog and a bird. when all else fails - put a bird on it!

*** well dang. someone loves cat purses - they're sold out! sorry. :(

these disco nail rings from bijules exclusively at 80s purple. at $170.00 a "ring" ... i don't think i'll be rockin' these bad boys on the dance floor any time in the near future. do you think they'd actually stay on in full disco mode? to be honest, i just don't get it. but if you do - more power to you! :)
