Million Dollar Shopper

Today could be my lucky day. Or it could be like every other day. I'll find out at 8pm tonight when the winner of the CA Mega Million lotto is announced. I'm going to buy a lottery ticket. I never buy lotto tickets but a chance at $92 million is worth my dollar today.

I think the best part about buying a lotto ticket is daydreaming about what you would do with the money. Well, actually the best part would be if you won the money but since the odds of that are like 1 in 175 million, I'll settle for daydreaming. Of course, I would give money to my family. Travel. Buy a house. Then I would shop 'til I dropped for clothes, shoes, and bags. (Don't start getting all judgy, I would give some cash to charities too)

There is the one website that I've been dying to try called Bag, Borrow, or Steal. On this site you can rent designer handbags for a monthly price. This is one of those things that, if I had the money, I would do it. It is like Netflix but instead of movies, it's purses. Even if I had $92 million, I would do this rather than spending a thousand dollars on one bag that I'd use for a month and then want to get rid of for a new one. They carry lots of bags from my two favorite designers, Gucci and Chanel. I found one Gucci bag that I love. The retail price is $1500 but at Bag, Borrow, or Steal, I could rent it for $275/month. Ok, you may be thinking that's still outrageous for a bag. But, that's why I haven't done it yet and am waiting for my millions to indulge.

Fabulous Fridays

To celebrate the start of the weekend, I am enacting a new segment called Fabulous Fridays. The Fabulous Friday or FF posting as I am calling it (you can substitute whatever F words you like), will be a fashion tip, hot celebrity style, or shopping recommendation to kick off your weekend.

Since this is the inaugural post, it had to be fabulous of course. I love this photo for two reasons. One, Uma Thurman looks hot. Two, it coincides with my fashion tip of the week. You have got to own at least one fabulous bag. Yes, I'm a girly girl. I like purses and handbags and I like to match them with my outfits. I love the classics like Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and Chanel. These designer bags go with just about any outfit from a cocktail dress to sweats. But if you don't have two grand to drop on a purse or if you're not really a purse-carrying kind of gal, there is still hope for you.

Finding the right bag is again like finding your own style. My girl wouldn't be caught dead toting my hot pink faux crocodile clutch. Nor would I be seen hanging with my girlfriends sporting her black messenger bag. So first you must figure out your style and what particular look you're going for. Then pick a bag that compliments your style. You may not think having a hot bag is essential to your look. I disagree. It completes any outfit by providing the finishing touch.

If you're really just not into bags, then go for a fabulous wallet. I guarantee when you pull it out for the first time to pay for your new girl's dinner, she'll notice. It will make her realize that you consider the details and you've got good taste.
