obsession name: Mulberry Alexa in Valentine’s Red Glossy Goat
where to buy: Mulberry stores, or mulberry.com
why the obsession:
Mulberry’s Alexa bag has got to be one of my favorite bags of all time. For true handbag lovers, it’s definitely a favorite style, but also, even if you’ve never seen this bag before, one can’t help but be drawn to its natural “it” factor. It’s just such an iconic design, with the classic postman lock, braided handle and symmetrical belt buckle strap detailing. My favorite part is that every year, it comes in absolutely stunning colors – a delicious hot pink Watermelon with gold hardware, beautiful silky snake Beige print with rose gold hardware, sexy foggy Grey with gunmetal hardware – you simply can’t go wrong. In fact, most of the bags that I consider “the one that got away” are pretty much all Alexas. With Valentine’s Day coming up, of course Mulberry had to create the sexiest red bag I’ve ever seen. If only I had the money to buy them all…

obsession name: Louis Vuitton Empreinte Speedy Bandoulière 25 in Infini and Louis Vuitton Fleur d’Epi Bag Charm in Chili Red
where to buy: Louis Vuitton stores, or louisvuitton.com
why the obsession:
I was so excited and sad this weekend. Initially excited because it looked like the Denver Broncos were well on their way to the Super Bowl!!!!!! And then sad, when they lost to a field goal (a field goal!!!!) in 2nd overtime (2nd overtime!!!!). I could NOT believe Jacoby Jones caught that game-tying pass from Joe Flacco with approximately 30 seconds left on the clock in the fourth quarter, though. Broncos should have won the game right then and there and have been done with it. In any case, I still heart Peyton Manning for being one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history and I have nothing but respect for the man and the Broncos team. In any case, in my dreams where the Broncos go on to the Super Bowl and I magically obtain tickets to go to the game, I would totally carry this Louis Vuitton Empreinte Speedy Bandoulière 25 in Infini charmed with Fleur d’Epi Bag Charm in Chili Red (or orange), and proudly sport the team colors! What a dream Broncos game day bag.

obsession name: Abby Ballet Flat, in Mint
where to buy: bananarepublic.com
why the obsession:
These days, while browsing online, I have become obsessed with the color mint. Anytime I see mint anything – mint bags, mint tops, mint jeans, mint shoes, heck, even mint furniture, mint walls (oh boy!), I’m officially hooked. Maybe I’m just getting excited for spring/summer 2013 (always looking forward to the next season in fashion of course), but the color is just so beautiful. It definitely looks like mint is going to a huge hit this spring, given that emerald is Pantone’s 2013 color of the year. I have slightly obsessed about mint in a previous post, but what is so sad to me is that I only own one thing mint, and it’s a sweater. One sweater! It’s definitely time to add to that collection. I think these Banana Republic Abby ballet flats in mint would be nice to add to the collection, no?

why the obsession:
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!! I, for one, cannot believe it is 2013 already. Time is just flying by. As with any first day of the year, it is time for New Year’s resolutions! I remember as a little girl being forced to write essays about what I would change in the upcoming year, and now here I am writing about what I would change as a hobby. Go figure. In any case, I think it’s pretty clear what my two New Year’s resolutions will be for 2013 with the CafePress tote bag above: Keep Calm and Get Healthy!!!!!!
