BagLust: Chloe Paddington

So, yeah, I’m not independently wealthy.   I’m not busted, but it always takes a good bit of talking to my hubby for him to see the light on buying a new bag.  I hate carrying a cheap bag – my friends at BagSnob have seen to that.  Thanks a lot, Tina. 

I have lusted over a Chloe Paddington bag for a looooooong time now, never thinking that one would adorn my arm.  But lucky me, who stumbled into a Chloe store that was having a SALE at the same time my hubby was not feeling like a bag was the *worst* possible investment on the planet – I left with this little beauty.  This was exactly what I was looking for – a smaller bag (I have been carrying giant bags the last few seasons), and a bag with an actual shoulder strap (I have been battling a shorter strap for the same last few seasons). 

So, if this happens to be your thing – you can get one on sale for yourself over at Shirise.com, if you don’t happen to have a Chloe store near you.  This bag is a nice ranchy brown (perfect for me), but if that color isn’t perfect for you, I also saw it in white and in black.  I wish I could have gotten it in all three colors.  Look around, I bet you can find one.

Now, my only problem is that I need to get a little control of my swinging shoulder bag – I have slammed that big heavy lock into a couple of cars in tight parking lots.  Oops.
