Wednesday's Wish List: Kristen Bell for Erica Anenberg

I apologize for not posting on time but lesson prep got in the way.


Now back to the wish list.  When I spotted these bags on the Today Show I instantly fell in love.  They are simple versatile bags (yay detachable cross body straps!) with subtle hardware details (<3 the buckles).   I think they would make great everyday bags.

When I saw that they were on super sale I was immediately thinking, which bag should I get and what color( they come in 6 different ones)?  But my sister was the voice of reason, "you just bought a new leather bag, you don't need another one!"  (see this post about my new bag)  Of course she was right, it's just so hard to resist a good deal sometimes :)  I have to remember that even though I'm allowed to shop this year it doesn't mean I should!!  I'm blessed with enough stuff already! 


In any case, after some research I realized that I couldn't even buy it if I wanted to as they only ship to the U.S.  That's good for my wallet!


What's on your Wish Lists?

The Look-Alike

I have always loved the look of designer handbags (excluding the monogrammed ones), the classic style, recognizable name and amazing quality!  However, I could never justify spending that much money on a bag.  I mean $10,000 on an Hermes Birkin bag, come on! You could buy a used car with that amount!!  So I can only admire them for afar.

That is until I discovered this site, which lists tons of designer clothing and accessories look-alikes.  And that led me to BagInc which has a huge selection of designer inspired bags made of real leather!  Note: They have free international shipping with orders over $99 :)

I got this Mulberry Alexa look-alike after receiving a $25 Giftcard promotion:

It looks so much like the Alexa!  It even has the gold trim on the buckle straps.

They added this back pocket which is very useful.

You can see on this closeup that this version is made of
pebble grain leather unlike the smooth finish on the real one.

I'm really happy with this purchase.  I love the buttery soft leather and removable crossbody strap.  This bag has plenty of room for my essentials plus more.  Outfit post with bag coming soon!

So what do you guys think, are look-alike's a fashion faux pas?
