new season.....new purse

ok so if you know anything about me, you know that I have a ridiculous love of purses and let me tell ya, once you start into the expensive realm, it's hard to go back. It's a sickness really, but one that I whole-heartily embrace. So my friend Ashley has the cutest purses you have EVER seen. It seems like every time I see her at our son(s) baseball and soccer games she has a new fab purse. I spotted a really cute cream purse on her about 2 months ago and fell in love. I of course asked her where she scored such a cute thing and she told me Dillards. I promptly went to the mall only to find out it was a Kate Landry and it was $229. Holy cow! I wasn't expecting that price tag. I sadly said goodbye to that purse and have been on the search for a new summer purse ever since. I did purchase a cute canvas with white patent leather (fake) purse from Target that is white, black and purple that I have been carrying around since April. I really have loved it, but it still wasn't fulfilling my Kate Landry dreams. I wanted something a solid color that had a bit of an edge to it, but was still classy. I have looked and looked and just couldn't find what I was looking for (I wanted the Kate Landry cream patent purse)! So fast forward to today when I went to the mall to help my little sis, Hollie get pictures of my new niece, Aleah. I had about 15 mins to spare so I thought I would stop by Dillards and see if I could see a cute purse. What??? I found the Kate Landry purse on sale for $114! 50% off! I was so excited so I put it on hold so I could call Shane to make sure I could spend that much on a purse and I wanted Hollie's opinion. My Mom showed up at the mall(shocking, I know) and she loved the purse too, and offered to give me my b-day money early (way early-my b-day isn't until aug). So with my Mom subsidizing, I got my purse. Isn't it cute? Don't you love the lining? Thanks Mom and Shane!! It's big, it's chunky, and I love it!!
