PFM Obsession: Rose Gold Love

Becca isn't the only one who found a new bag love!  sooo around every mother's day, i get a fabulous bag that is a thank u to me for working so hard as a mommy club member.  this year, with soooo many bag crushes it was totally hard to decide but when i found this baby (which i had been stalking but couldn't find anywhere), it was an instant gotta-have-it moment!! meet the Rebecca Minkoff Circle Quilt Affair Bag with *gasp* rose gold hardware!! if you've been reading our blog, you will know that i have a current obsession (lol, notice i said current) with rose gold hardware (see here) - especially when paired with black leather!  though, like Becca, i love a bright bag, with this bag, i felt the need to tone down the color but up the ante in edge!!  it fits right in with my new angle on style.  lately i've been describing my outfits as classic edgy and this new mama jama fits right in line!

PFM Obsession: $esheta's Spring Fresh Five - #1 Rose Gold Hardware

...and the #1 spot goes to...drumroll please... rose gold hardware!!! i am officially in lust with  this trend.  rose gold hardware has been showing up on all the accessories and it has truly struck a chord with me.  i love copper and this is a close sister to copper.  all our fave designers are doing combos of leather and/or metal and rose gold.  i truly believe this may be a unique trend that hasn't come back around.  either way i am hooked.  the below sample pics of rose gold accessories are just the tip of the iceberg, but i definitely find myself wanting more... 

Alexander Wang is right on trend and who can resist the Rocco bag?!

soooo cute! this Linea Pelle belt is the perfect finisher for your favorite outfit!

I love these Michael Kors rose gold sneaks!!

Michael Kors got this combo of gray and rose gold  perfect!

hope you enjoyed my Fresh Five.  stay tuned for our Fall/Winter installment featuring hot picks for the season!! xo

PFM Obsession: Clio Goldbrenner Handbags

Clio bag and pouchette - Clio Goldbrenner

while perusing the handbags in TJ Maxx recently, i ran into my latest bag crush.  i was drawn by the beautiful camel colored leather, perfect size and gold hardware (of course!!!).  though i carried her around the store with me, the price tag kept me from running to the checkout line.  i convinced myself that we could never work- her color was too light and i would stress about keeping her clean.  eventually, i put her back ready to never see her again.  after i left the store, i realized i didn't even get the designer, a name i've never seen before.  the next day after my crush grew into a full fledged obsession, i could not for the life of me find anything on the web that looked or sounded like the designer's name.  i had two choices: let it go and accept that we were never to meet again or call the store and ask for their help identifying the bag.  if you have ever had a true bag crush, you know there really was only one choice... soooo, after about 20 mins on hold and two (or maybe three) customer service associates, i finally had my name - Clio Goldbrenner, a designer out of Belgium.  Her bags are fabulous and, so far, are not really sold in the US.  i'm sure you're wondering...did i ever get that bag? sadly, no, but i have hopes that she and i will meet again someday real soon. - sesheta
