After lip gloss, bags become my second biggest... kink :) I just love them. All shapes, all sizes, any colour.. I just have to have them.
What about you, what about this season's trends? Do you go for big totes or sweet clutches? here we can discuss anything about handbags.

Ah.. And I have to show my biggest delight these days. It was ridiculosly expensive for a cotton.. bag, but I love it. Everyone tells me that I should use it for carrying potatoes, but.. who cares?! I know Andy Warhol wore them too, and they go well with almost any outfit, and I find them utterly stylish.

This 'serial shopper' bag, with the same matrioshka print and pitch mini-matrioshka, which fell off, and now I keep it in my makeup bag, just because it's so nice to look at:

LOVE IT!!! I love Matrioshkas and I love a big bag that can fit all my crap I lug around including camera and book or magazine. And I love that it had a mini-matrioshka - soooooo cute!!!

I LOVE bags, especially huge canvas ones.I have two Andy Warhol bags actually. One is the goddess venus(not me in the picture):

This is my most recent one i've bought, the infamous campbell's soup can(s)

I bought it for $20 at TJ Maxx, originally $40, so not too shabby.

ahhh, girls, I envy you so much! you don't know how lucky you are to live in a country with all those nice stores.. we don't even have H&M here.. only some Zaras, Marks & Spencer.. the usual suspects.

Anyway, I wanna upload this pic.. let's see if I can.. With my most recent purchase, got it from a concept store (a little vintage, a little eclectic), and love it. I don't think it's the best choice for f/w, but still..

That's adorable Lolita! I have such a hard time with white or cream colored bags, I get them dirty so quick.

Lolita, we don't have H&Ms for the most part either, here in the US anyway. :) I live in Wisconsin, and there's not a whole lot here. Our big department store finally went to a Macy's about 2 years ago, and we just got our first MAC counter this year. And I just found out that we're getting a Sephora on 10/2/2009 (I installed a Yahoo! Widget to count down to the opening :oD)

I love handbags, but have very few of them.I love love love the Botticelli's Venus bag...I'm going to have to find that one. I've been told I look like a Botticelli a bit, which is by far the best compliment I've ever gotten about my looks. :)
My goal is to save up enough for a real, big girl handbag. :)

hehhe, i'm glad you like it and that we have similar tastes when it comes to bags! :) indeed, white/cream bags tend do get dirty pretty easily, but I wash them regularly (especially these made of textile material)... i tell mom to select the hand wash mode and it's cool :)

ah, valatia.. wisconsin.. i've always thought it's the coolest place to live, since That '70s show.. heh.. Hello Wisconsiiiin! :) but I'm sure things in any state from US are better than here.. girls, if i would only tell you.. how many Vuittons or Birkin bags I see daily.. worn by.. cheap looking girls.. god, this fake-purses frenzy it's like the biggest trend here right now. and it looks awful, awful.. simply disgusting..
Oh, and another thing.. do you have a suggestion for a wallet/coin purse that would go with that type of bags? I look for a cute wallet or something.. and i dont seem to like anything. they're all like.. too elegant.
