Chanel Hobo/Messenger: Cult of Chanel
A functional Chanel is worth its weight in gold. Unfortunately for my bank account, it actually costs its weight in gold, too. This shoulder style with thick chains (which are surprisingly lightweight because they are hollow…which should mean they are cheaper, right?) makes it a ladylike day bag. One that you can seriously use. You’ve … Continue reading “Chanel Hobo/Messenger: Cult of Chanel”
Ralph Lauren Collection Suede Stirrup Hobo: Jockeying for Position
Suede, stirrup, reign-like straps all should add up to equestrian overload but Ralph Lauren does subtlety well and this hobo translates seamlessly to city life with a laid back country ease. I am obsessing over the gray suede, it looks like a Weimaraner with their gorgeous glistening sleek coat. Don’t call PETA on me but … Continue reading “Ralph Lauren Collection Suede Stirrup Hobo: Jockeying for Position”
Ralph Lauren Collection Haircalf Hobo: The Best of the Ocelot

The secret is in the leather. Textured and grained skin makes it look more expensive than it is, also making … Continue reading “Tory Burch Patty Textured-Leather and Canvas Hobo Bag: Tory’s Secret”
Top On-Sale Whites: The Creams of the Crop
We could all use a clean slate this time of year. And I say there’s no better way to symbolize a fresh start than with a great white bag. Especially one that’s not only snobby but on sale for a slightly less-than-snobby price. Good things come to those who wait for spring sale season! 1. … Continue reading “Top On-Sale Whites: The Creams of the Crop”
J.Crew Brompton Straw Hobo: My Summer Love
I cannot tell you how much I wished I had this bag on the trip I just got back from. The J.Crew Brompton stray hobo is the perfect beach/warm weather bag and had I planned better, I would have packed this away toss crossbody style to the beach with a Joie cover up, then to … Continue reading “J.Crew Brompton Straw Hobo: My Summer Love”
