my bag whore ways have been traded in for boring teaching days. i've been a school marm for the past 10 days now...ahhh....my soul has been sucked out of me once again. no, don't get me wrong. my kids are super cute and i like them a lot....i think it's just the hum drum of teaching and the same routine of feeling "stuck" in the classroom. i'm just getting bored i think...you know, the dreaded 5 year itch that teachers talk about. seriously, i think i need a new challenge and changing grade levels probably isn't the answer either. perhaps i need to really go on a vaykay next time instead of teaching intersession...but then again, how else will i support my bag whore ways AND my wee house? my priorities sure are screwed up :)

anyways, to commemorate me teaching once again....my REAL identity as oppose to this bag whore one, i would like to show you this fug tote that marc by marc jacobs actually tried to sell to his minions. it's called the "new standard supply tote." i think it's hilarious....reminds me of the scaffolding you would need to provide to second language learners when they access english...you know, label everything in the classroom. like a chair would have a card that says "chair," a clock would say "clock," and his tote says "tote." ugly right?

i never forgot you....

potsticker was right when she said:

"Don't tell me it's that wallet you returned at the Rodeo Drive Chanel Boutique."

she is partly right anyways...that's how she rolls..always being partly right. oh snap!

i did go to the chanel boutique looking for something but not specifically for the blue camellia wallet that i had returned in the past and which potsticker had guessed. but while i was waiting for the sa to get that "something else" for me to look at, she opened a drawer that housed the blue/grey camellia wallet. YES, i was lured again. it is such a BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL color with a super feminine pattern. the kind that makes you swoon a bit and you start thinking to yourself (well myself anyways), "ahhh, it is too pretty to pass up this time right?" i needed to re-evaluate my past decision especially since i know it's been sold out in most places.

so i asked to see if they had a virginal blue/grey camellia wallet in their stockroom and they did. but upon further inspection, i found a little white spot on the inside of the wallet (no bueno!)...and sadly, i still found the same issues with it. the lambskin is too delicate (i think i would baby it too much and it will still get all scratched up), there's not enough credit card slots, AND the bills don't lie flat in the bill slot. i feel this style wallet was not made for the american dollar. anyways, i already have my red prada and my orange colored chanel one...and my wee house for that matter. i guess TECHNICALLY, i don't need another wallet so i decided to pass. still regrettable, but i don't think i would have put it to good use.

however, because i LOVE this color and pattern so much, i decided to pick up a credit card holder in this design. it has 3 credit card slots and a slot in the middle to hold any folded up bills. it's a tad bigger than a regular credit card and i think it will make a great alternative to using a real sized wallet for golden deliciousness since she's a tad small herself. besides, i'm just going to fess up right now. i wanted to own a piece of this gorgeousness and buying a cc holder seems a lot more reasonable than a wallet that i would not use often.

isn't it gorgeous?!

a tote you can believe in

to continue with my unrelentless slamming of all things associated with me in regards to the election, you must not be suprised that bagnatic got a piece of this political action either right? ok, if you're over it, then you might not want to check myweehouse either for today. i slammed some politics over there as well. tee hee....i am a one-track minded person. what can i say? persistence is my strength...though my momma just thinks i'm stubborn.

what do you think of this tote? hmmmm?? some catch phrases can be:

"a tote for change"

"a tote you can believe in"

anyways, i'm excited for this election. excited about the possibilities. excited about a non-republican president and ending this god forsaken war. i would tote this tote to the polling station if i could...but i guess i will just have to settle for one of my other equally hot but not as political bags.

did you vote?

OBAMA made me do it!

this past weekend i went to nevada to do some canvassing work for the obama campaign. we stayed for 2 nights and a day, which meant NO GAMBLING (boo) but i did manage to carve out some teeny weeny time to pick up a piece of chanel. BUT OF COURSE RIGHT? there's totally a correlation between obama, nevada, and chanel. don't you see it?!

it is a teeny tiny chanel, but there's some nostalgia value mixed in it as well as practicality. if you've followed bagnatic from the beginning, it will look somewhat familiar to you. stay tuned for the reveal!

happy halloween!

happy halloween ladies!! did anybody dress up for this ghoulish holiday? how about eating some candy corn at the very least? pumpkin spice latte at starbucks? well, however you decide to celebrate this frightful day, bagnatic would like to celebrate halloween with pictures of a disturbing bag: the HEAD BAG (yes, i AM a dork, you can go ahead and say it.....).

"Yael Mer designed these ‘Head Hand Bag’, which are inspired by the biblical story about Judith and Holofernes and its visual representation from the Renaissance. Each bag tells its own story."

this is the story:

head 1: so, how did you lose your head?
head 2: umm, my chariot was going too fast so my head got sliced off by the wooden bridge overpass. how about thou?
head 1: i had an illicit affair with the master's wife and got caught. that wasn't the only head of mine that got cut off if ya know what i'm sayin' *wink*
head 2: tmi
head 3: could you guys shut up please?! i'm trying to get some shut eye here!

hey wait a minute...are these ethnic heads?! where's the yellow one?!

imagine this could be YOU, rocking a head bag!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

smooches,

bagnatic;)

preventing the abyss

large bags are in. you would think this wouldn't be the case since it's been "in" since at least early 2007. what happened to fickle fashion and getting outdated quickly? well, lucky for you if you are a big bag lova. you're still safe if you are carrying your FBI body bag sort of bag. apparently, the bigger the handbag, the better.

gorgeous chanel croc tote. huge effer though.

now, if you can carry off such a behemoth of a bag, then i have to wonder, HOW THE HECK DO YOU FIND YOUR THINGS IN SUCH A LARGE BAG??!! some designers are considerate of this fact and sew pockets on the insides of the bag for your cell phone, keys, etc.... but others do not. i guess if you were planning to carry such a huge ass bag in the first place, the designers probably assume that convienence isn't your main priority. lucky for angelina and courtney, there is a solution to this: the purseket. yep. an organizer for your big ass bag.

"The Large measures: 8" high from top of key post x 36" long. It wraps around inside to line the purse with 8 gusseted pockets. Fits canvas totes, carryalls, travel bags, large purses, beach bags, diaper bags with 15" min. opening x 8" min depth. 8th pocket is 6" wide & has velcroed flap which can be tucked behind the Purseket when not needed. Bulky items, eg. wallets, makeup cases, dayplanners, sit in the middle of a clean purse."

um, i have a few big bags myself, but i think the purseket is tacky. i know it's practical and all, but i can't get over how "pocket protectorish" it all seems. you know, GEEKY. it just seems ick to open your big ole chanel or marc jacobs to find one of these things in there. i don't mind digging around my purse for my wallet and keys. would you pursket your purse? it's $22 for a large, $20 for a medium, and $18 for a small. OR, you can take that money and get a froyo, yo. i pick option B.

chanel has nothing on this
