Mama's Got a Brand New Bag.

I purchased my first of two handbags I wanted to get this month. I saw this beautiful leather python print Michael Kors Sloan clutch at Macy's about a month ago and wanted it. I was in desperate need of a new clutch, I've been using a Marc Jacobs wristlet for way too long! Fortunately, Zappos.com had the very same clutch as Macy's and Neiman's at the same price, but without tax and free shipping. I loved this clutch because the chain makes the purse versatile and easy to wear as a shoulder bag or tuck the chain and use as a clutch.

 Zappos.com has become my go to website for handbags and shoes now, I'm obsessed! After purchasing this purse on Friday (received it yesterday!), I was upgraded to "VIP" status on the website. If you spend a certain amount on the website in a year, they upgrade your account to give you more perks- most noticeably is free next day shipping if ordered before 1pm PST. I read it's even easier to become a "VIP" member to Zappos by just contacting customer service about it. I took advantage of this offer yesterday by ordering a new pair of Sam Edelman sandals I saw at Nordstrom. I haven't been able to track the shipping, so we'll see if it makes it here today!

I've Got Sole.

After months of sole searching for a good pair to wear at my friend’s wedding, I’ve decided on a pair of the KORS Michael Kors peep toe pump. It was a hard decision considering how much I was set on a pair of Sergio Rossi and fell in love with a pair of Brian Atwood, but in the end I based my decision on a good heel no higher than 5″ and with a solid black heel that wouldn’t stand out in comparison to the other girls shoes.

I purchased the Sadie peep toe pump by KORS Michael Kors from Zappos. The shoe is made out of a gorgeous calf leather with a 4 1/4″ heel. They gave me a good height, without seeming “too tall” and I felt instant comfort. Zappos is a great website to get shoes, handbags, and accesories at a good price. Shipping is free and it’s fast! I ordered my shoes Saturday morning and received them by Monday afternoon. I’ve been obsessively looking at the Alexander McQueen accessories since re-discovering Zappos though and may have to spoil myself again pretty soon!

Now I begin my search for a brand new handbag!
