I'm currently rotating three different bags and included each one since they all deserve a spotlight. All gorgeous and very much loved. If you are thinking into investing in a high quality bag, any of the ones I talk about are absolutely beautiful!
Here is a link to the video:

The older I get, the more I realize I want to invest in quality items. I just don't want to pay retail if I don't have to. I'm huge on eBay and local discount chains like TJ Maxx, Marshall's, Ross. Oh and how I miss Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack! We have one about an hour away but haven't had a chance to stop by. That is one of the reasons I miss living in Washington state. Ok, the main reasons are missing my friends and family people. It doesn't really disappoint especially after a long work week, it was great taking my girls, and heading for a day of shopping.
I am also a lover of vintage clothing/jewelry. I love shopping at thrift stores and garage sales. It's something that was instilled in me by my mom. She is a bargain shopper to the max. Don't get in her way! I'm not as controlled as she is because I do splurge once in a while if I LOVE something and I have to have it!
For example, I have been eyeing a few umbrella strollers for my baby online and in stores. This past Sunday, my hubs and I went to an Estate Sale, and there it was sitting in the corner. A bright blue Chicco stroller perfect for everyday and traveling selling for $25 bucks. I was like, are you serious?! I'm taking it! I was able to bargain it down to around 10 bucks. Now that is a bargain. It was not brand new, but it sure looked it. And honestly for the price, I don't mind.
I encourage you to be wise with your hard earned money. Shop around and be patient.
P.S. Here are a few outfits from the past week. Follow me on Instagram: Lubalovely

I like all colors of your pants. Especially, that sea-green pant looks super cute and cool. I would like to wear it at beach side with Chanel sunglasses.
