As we head in to a new year, one of my resolutions (along with the usual dieting of course) is to edit my bag purchases. Even with all the advice I give about choosing wisely, I still end up buying emotionally and on whim, but hey I’m a girl and I am human so those things will be hard to amend. What I want to do this year is to make sure all of my bags fit these criteria: 1. fabulously stylish (always), 2. functional (this has been my worse mistake, I get awesomely cute bags that don’t work with my lifestyle and are not comfortable and easy to wear) and 3. collection worthy (which is the hardest criteria since it seems that I have to majorly give up moolah and trends, but it is not true). Take a look at this Adriana Castro ostrich hobo, it fits all of these criteria, the hobo is the ultimate functional shape, the orange ostrich is more than just fabulously stylish, it is absolutely on trend (Heidi Klum has this in violet), this classic exotic is definitely collection worthy AND the price is such that I don’t have to give up my arm, leg and head to have, at only $2680. It has a 8″ drop on straps, replete with a hidden magnetic closure, interior zip and cell phone pocket as well as a polished suede lining. Get it at Adriana Castro online, best of all Bag Snob readers get 30% off any order with code “ACBAGSNOB“, which means this timeless ostrich hobo is only $1876. So far, I am off to a great start for 2009!!
