Thanks Rumi, You Make Me Want to Spend $$$

Rumi who blogs on Fashion Toast, has serious style. She shows off her long, lanky legs with short shorts, mini-dresses, and high heeled boots, but the look is always cool not overly sexy. Rumi also has another skill- making me want her bags (and her legs too, but that's harder to buy). Every time I skim through her blog, I go a little starry-eyed over her handbags.

Ever since I saw Rumi with three different Balenciaga bags, it has become my dream bag. I long for, I crave it, I even told my mom I want that bag for my graduation present. Actually I want multiple, but that's not easy considering a medium sized Balenciaga bag is about $1,000.

A little more in the more affordable range is this Foley + Corinna tote that looks so roomy and chic. The F+C Mid City tote is only $444. I've been trying to find knock offs but I had no luck in China, and the Nine West version was still $100+. I may eventually buy this bag because it has the instant cool factor that goes with any outfit.

Finally there's the Aldo Vigorendena, the most affordable option at $60. I like the silver one Rumi has, but Aldo only has brown versions right now that I think are blah.

Blog Spotlight: Modelizing

Not only do I love to blog, but I love to read other people's blog. Modelizing is one of those great fashion-related websites I like to check out every so often. The blogger of Modelizing is a Parsons photo student who photographs NYC store displays during her spare time. Through her blog, I can look at the amazing window displays in front of Barney's and Louis Vuitton without having to drive 5 hours to NYC. The photographs are especially awe-inspiring during the Christmas season. So check out this blog ASAP!
