<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I'm soooo happy it's Friday, aren't you? The weather is lovely here in the city & I'm so psyched to be meeting a few bloggers (<i>I've only known online</i>) this weekend!

It's TRULY versatile, she can go from funky & bright to more contemporary & modern. </span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">These are my favorites from her projects! She's so sweet, she also emailed me a pic where she included one of my <a href="http://www.madebygirl.com/shop.php?ncats=1,4,8"><b><u>Love prints</u></b></a> - look how she wrapped the frame? In fabric! <i>Neat right??!</i></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsA3Pi3bGLOMXGqjLkr_Rn2ehyphenhyphenkY5ZFjzl-V-1VdvRIpTaBScVn508JJZaGXqi9Jwb4XbZTwsGEykmTKfLxX2Z4Raa0YKP1qMnJKIMe15-3_PqUexOsKV4S5XtmrHQeDALee_403CXjSU/s1600/Screen+Shot+2012-05-18+at+1.10.20+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

What's Your Favorite Handbag??

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Ok ladies, this post is for you! I OWN about 30 handbags. </span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I'm not sure if that's a lot - but if I had to guess, I'd say YES!  Every 6 months to a year I try to give one away... especially if I'm not using it. Either to a family member, friend or <a href="http://www.salvationarmyusa.org/usn/www_usn_2.nsf"><b><u>Salvation Army</u></b></a>. </span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The reason I buy a specific handbag is because I like the design or I like how it goes with most of the clothing I wear.... + Good quality.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>Where do I get most of my bags? </i></span></div><ul style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><li><span style="font-size: small;">Directly at the designer's store.</span></li><li><span style="font-size: small;">Ebay</span></li></ul><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Now, buying bags on <a href="http://www.ebay.com/"><b><u>Ebay</u> </b></a>can be a tricky thing. If you don't know how to distinguish a real bag from a fake, I'd think twice about hitting the BUY button. There are countless videos on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/"><b><u>YouTube</u></b></a> that you can watch that help guide you on how to spot a fake bag!!  Even then, be careful on <a href="http://www.ebay.com/"><b><u>Ebay</u></b></a>.  So far, I've been fortunate to not run into any trouble there.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>However, today I wanted to know what brand of bag do you prefer?
