Which would you choose?


Thanks for your enthusiasm over my first tag sale yesterday. It was a wonderful success! If you missed it click here. I have only a couple of items left and updated the post to indicate what's sold and what is still available.

It's that time of the week again. This time.......we are talking spring bags, baby! One of my most favorite subjects.....lets just say the handbag fairy has paid you a visit. She has granted you one bag of your choosing, price no object so think big!

Now the only prerequisite is to assume you already own the perfect black bag and the perfect white bag....so time to switch it up. Do you opt for a fun color, embrace a new trend or stick to a more neutral go with everything bag? Which would be your taste and which would you love toting around in the spring/summer season? I love to hear what all you taste makers love...and as I always do I will start with the very first comment (after some serious pondering)! Here we go......

Alaia
 
 
CHOICE 2
Bottega Veneta

Oh boy...so many pretties!! I actually have my eye on a few for this exercise in restraint:)  Not an easy choice. I do love my earth tones, and my wardrobe largely consists of things in the tans, creams, blacks and charcoals but come spring and summer, I love to add color....such a great time to embrace fun uplifting colors and prints so the idea of adding a little pop is kind of fun!  Your turn......can't wait to hear!

  1. Hi as I always do...starting this off with my own picks. Just impossible to say one...sorry!! I love so many but would have to narrow it down to 1, 3, 5 and 16. I bought nearly the identical bag to 10 in a taupe/gray which I love and its now my everyday tote...so I would opt for something fun and one with a hint of little color. Your turn!!

  6. #2 for me. You cannot go wrong with Bottega Veneta; top quality and classic design. If I had a second choice, it would be the Versace (#11) just for fun.
    Best...Victoria

  10. I too love them all! Really difficult choices but I do like #1, #7 & #10. Great idea for the first day of Spring! Just wish the snow would go away. This does help with the mood. Thanks Tanya!

  11. I like number 5 for the pale blush color that is going to be big this spring and the "lady like" shape of it. The scallops are a nice touch-different.

  12. Hi Tina - they are all beautiful choices, but I'm a Chloe kind of girl! Great editing btw

  15. Hi Tina....I like #6....I need to go shopping for sandals and a new bag..Cant wait for summer!

    ReplyDelete
  16. All beautiful bags, but I would choose #5 since I wear mostly white and soft pastels in warm weather; for more casual occasions, love #3.

    ReplyDelete
  17. 5,12,and 16 are me in Spring! How fun, again! Love choosing!!! Fantasy shopping!!! Have a beautiful day!xo

  18. I will happily take 1 or 5, though they are all so beautiful. I cannot wait for spring and summer.

    What a great giveaway, please include my name, Ellen W. and after visiting her site I would love the killer cleanser because I am in the market for a new one. Thanks, Tina.

  19. I just love the Chloe bag - the perfect combination of dressy and casual - dreaming of a new summer bag now!!

  20. Hi

    I would have to say I love #3, 12 and 16 the best. If there's pink in a line-up I always pick it.
    Earth tones are nice, but, I always gravitate towards bright colors to make me feel happy and
    alive.

    The give away comes at the right time, because my skin is changing so drastically with going through
    menopause and being diabetic, my skin doesn't know what to do. So, this kit could help in hiding uneven skin tones, dark circles under the eyes. Could you please add my name to the list of 'Want to be a winner?' Thank you!!

  28. The killer cover kit is the product for me. After being a lifeguard and a sailor in my youth, I need it for the dark spots. Will definately have to try it.

  36. Hi Tina, What amazing choices!
    I can only say I'm having a hard time choosing also! lol
    There are 4 that I narrowed down...
    The Alaia I love because the perforated design is so chic...and if you want to add color to it, tie a scarf on it.
    The Gucci is a classic and timeless choice...plus you can wear it all year long!
    Nancy Gonzalez' bag is great because the color is beautiful!...can also be used all year long. (maybe the texture is a little heavy for spring?)
    The Anya Hindmarch is just gorgeous! It's elegant...the colors are very YOU! Same idea as the Alai...you could tie on a colorful scarf!
    I'm feeling the Versace also, but I think it would get easily soiled since it looks like fabric.
    So out of all of these... my two absolute favorites are the Alaia and the Anya Hindmarch...and I'm leaning toward the Anya Hindmarch. Those are your colors. Ok, maybe I confused you...even myself! lol

  37. Hi Tina, I will take 1 and 5. love the pink..and the shapes are practical for every day. Though they are all gorgeous and I do love 16 for a vacation tote. It reminds me of going to the South of France. Love your taste not only for the home but fashion too.

    As far as the giveaway, please put my name in the running. I can use all the help I can get when it comes to makeup! What a great line she has, happy to know about it. The Invisible stockings sounds too good to be true, and I am going to go back and buy it now. What a great idea. Thanks.

  38. I commented on her Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/JudithAugustCosmetics/posts/10152730698510019

    Also, I would choose 3 or 16

  39. I love the Versace bag along with about 5 others. Actually I like really big bags because I always felt the bigger the accessories, the skinnier I look.

  40. The Pink Mulberry is my pick - just gorgeous.

  41. I fell in love with #8, it is so beautiful. The size and with the strap the look is perfect
