Found: the perfect bucket bag for spring!

I was on a mission to find a bright leather “everyday” bag/tote to haul my junk essentials this spring/summer…

Mission: accomplished.

Last year, I really wanted to get my paws on a Mansur Gavriel leather bucket bag. Everyone else did, too; retailers couldn’t keep them in stock and they were almost impossible to find, unless you were willing to cough up twice the retail price on eBay.

The Kenneth Cole ‘Dover Street’ drawstring bag in bright coral saffiano leather is a good dupe, at almost half the price. Even better: I found it on Hautelook for 40% off.

    The color of this bag is amazing! I found a great brown leather one on sale at Banana Republic, but now I definitely need a coral one..

    I love bucket bags, The only thing that I would want in my bucket bag is if it was full of pockets and have a long strap.

    1. Great Bag!
    2. Are bucket bags a pain to get things in and out of? I have been eyeing a Fossil one and am skeptical.
    3. Yes, yes yes to “what’s in my bag” posts! I love all of your beauty/skin advice, so I am sure your bag is full of great finds.

    Love bucket bags! I splurged and bought a fringed prada one. I was at my grandma’s house and found that she has a vintage louis vuitton bucket bag! In mint condition! I told her she better get it out and wear it or give it to me :)

    Very cute bag, I like your style! Would be perfect for me as a mid-season bag (as autumn is coming here soon in Australia). I like that it brings a lively colour touch in my wardrobe… especially when it is getting cold and we have a tendency to wear brown, grey and black ;) somehow it reminds me of the leaves in the trees or on my path when it is windy! This bag will warm you up! It is like carrying a little piece of sunshine on your shoulder ;)
