The Ultimate Splurge vs. Save Issue

I love shopping. Yes, we make fun of it all the time (by we I mean my husband and Molly), but I really do love the art of finding something, putting it together in an outfit, sharing it, etc. It is why I always say, I have my dream job. I genuinely mean that. I love running to the mall and looking at J.Crew or Madewell and finding the best items for the best prices. I also love perusing Chanel and Hermes of course, but like we say, that’s just R&D (research and development, folks). I have found so many beautiful pieces lately that I have to share them with you here. In some instances, you may want to invest in the splurge, in others, the save is almost better! You decide.

This is the summer of “summer handbags” for me. I have collected an arsenal quite frankly, and I’m A-ok with it. I have been eyeing this one here but then an eagle eye follower shared this one with me and honestly, it does the job. With the splurge edition, you are getting leather detailing, the weave is stronger and more structured, but if you’re just looking for the vibe, then the save will do just fine!.

Which is the splurge, which is the save?
