For any of us living on the east coast, right about now, we are all wearing
our parkers, gloves, and scarves. It is about zero below outside and if you are
like me and 78 degrees is cold then you are really unhappy. I have to say that
is the one thing I miss most about living in Florida. In January it is 82 degrees and
you are still going to the pool. So I thought I would bring you along with me on
my fantasy virtual vacation… designers have a fun way of naming their bags (
this and who comes up with all the names for nail polish, I really ponder) so
come on we can look at a bag and go somewhere tropical in our minds and warm up!
The Dior St. Tropez Tote priced at $975, in fuchsia, will go perfect with
a fabulous pair of wedges, a hot pair of Tom Ford sunglasses, and a Strawberry
Daiquiri. Yes, I know, you can barely feel your nose and the bus is running
late… However, close your eyes and picture yourself poolside, taking the sun,
and in 20 minutes you are going to get your massage while overlooking the ocean.
Honestly though this bag is perfect for the spring/summer season we are about to
head into. The size is great to bring with you to the beach, easy to keep clean
and again the color is HOT!
The Rio Patent Clutch by Jimmy Choo priced at $1,625, in canary yellow
will have you heating up at Carnivale! You will need to be carrying this bag, a
Hpnotiq-Metroploitan, and wearing the smallest bikini you can find!!! Imagine
yourself being body painted by a very nice local. Yes, I know your toes are
freezing but here we are in the Rio Grande and you don’t even have to wear
shoes. See the kinks in your neck are starting to relax and you are going to get
your hair braided. Come with me, follow the Calypso music.
The Malibu Tote & Towel by Juicy Couture, priced at $155, in baby pink.
LOVE this bag. This is also perfect for our younger readers. All you need along
with this is an issue of Vogue or Teen Cosmo, and a milkshake. Imagine making a
sand castle, getting ready to go on a jet ski, and just having FUN! Yes, I know
that school is still in session, and you have a test tomorrow, but summer
vacation is coming soon.
Thank you all for coming along with me on this virtual escape from the freezing
cold. I hope you feel warm, relaxed, and even more excited about the
spring/summer collections that are to come!
