Lustworthy: Foley + Corinna Jet Setter Jr. Tote in Coal

I'm definitely a fan of Foley + Corinna handbags-- I rave about my much loved City Tote all the time. So, it's not a big surprise that I've fallen hard for yet another Foley + Corinna bag. But, what is a surprise is that this Jet Setter Jr. Tote in Coal has officially replaced the Chloe Quilted Bay in Smoke as my favorite grey handbag ever.

I've been passionately devoted to the Smoke colored Quilted Bay since it debuted, convinced that it was the most perfect grey leather handbag ever created. Now I've stumbled upon a grey leather handbag that I love even more... and it's less than half the price of the Chloe bag! So, why do I love the more affordable Foley + Corinna bag more than the Chloe? The grey is richer, but without straying into muddy territory, and the goldtone accents are less in-your-face shiny than the Bay. The overall effect is a lot more relaxed. Yeah, I'm just as shocked as you are about the Foley + Corinna over Chloe revelation. Maybe I'll sleep on it.

Foley + Corinna handbags have quickly become a staple in my handbag wardrobe. Their functional, convertible and quite roomy bags are perfect for day-to-day wear. My Mid City Tote has hardly left my side since I purchased it and this brand new Foley + Corinna Stanton Convertible Tote is about to become my newest handbag obsession.

The brand new Stanton Tote has a bit more structure that Foley + Corinna's famous City and Jet Setter totes, but retains the top handle or shoulder strap convertible appeal that has become my favorite Foley + Corinna feature. In pale Butterscotch, pictured here, this bag feels lighter than its substantial size-- 13" x 14" x 7.5". In rich black, it gives off the same ladylike vibe as a classic doctor bag, but with a slightly more relaxed silhouette.

$264.00 (was $528-- save 50%!)
Available at: shopbop.com

Foley + Corinna bags are my new obsession. It took some doing, but I actually surrendered my trusty Botkier to the recesses of my handbag shelf and started carrying a Foley + Corinna bag about two weeks ago. I adore my Foley + Corinna bag. The just-slouchy-enough shape is relaxed without being sloppy, and the butter soft leather is to die for. I highly suggest a Foley + Corinna bag to all handbag loving fashionistas.

This great sale find means that you can pick up your very own Foley + Corinna bag for half price! The Jet Setter Jr Tote was spotted in the last episode of season one of Gossip Girl and has been selling like hotcakes ever since. I strongly suspect that this gorgeous forest green color is no longer being produced, because I can't think of another reason why any store would need to mark down this best selling tote. Personally, I think the luscious green is perfect for fall and will play nicely with just about everything in a modern girl's wardrobe.

There is no need to spend $4.00 a gallon for premium gas to fill up your SL-500, try to find parking amongst the masses who think the drive is worth the crowds and get into a mall store or large department store trying to find a match to your clothes back in your walk-in closet. Absolutely none! Instead, find yourself back at home, completely relaxed and living large, clicking and scrolling through the latest website of handbags for instance.

FOUND: Blake Lively's Gossip Girl Rehearsal Dress

I have discovered the one and only up side to the fact that Gossip Girl is in re-runs. The fact that I have seen just about every episode three or more times means that I am slowly picking up on Gossip Girl fashion finds that I missed the first couple times around. Ahh, TiVo is such a great invention.

My most recent new Gossip Girl clothing discovery? The frothy, fabulous dress that Blake Lively as Serena wore to Lily and Bart's rehearsal dinner-- that's the next-to-the-last episode of the season, in case you're counting. Her day may have been a disaster so far, but by the time Serena made it to the rehearsal dinner she at least looked stunning. If only real life disasters could be glossed over by makeup artists and wardrobe directors.

Want to steal Blake Lively as Serena's Gossip Girl clothing style for your very own? She was sporting the spanking new "Hollywood" dress from Foley + Corinna. And when I say new, I mean new. Even though the episode was shot months ago, this dress is still on pre-order for many popular colors. You can snag it in black via pre-order at the online home of New York's own French Corner (right). It is also available for immediate shipment in cobalt blue via ShopBop.com. This flirty dress can be worn with attached spaghetti straps, or strapless like we saw on Serena. The light as air shape is just right for summer parties.

FOUND: Lydia Hearst's Gossip Girl Handbag

photo: youknowyouloveme.org

I know happy couples make for boring television, but couldn't we have had more than 10 minutes of delicious Blair and Chuck Gossip Girl coupledom before dropping Amelia on the scene? Interior decorator Amelia, played by real life heiress/ model/ socialite Lydia Hearst, has already turned Chuck's head, resulting in our girl B heading off to Tuscany with a hunky stranger. Argh. So frustrating.

At least the costumers had the good sense to make sure that Lydia-as-Amelia doesn't dress nearly as fabulously as Blair. It makes it so much easier to hate her. With the exception of her stylishly roomy tote, Amelia's look is rather blah by Gossip Girl standards. But that tote...

Want to steal Lydia Hearst as Amelia's Gossip Girl style? She's carrying the Jet Setter Junior Tote by Foley + Corinna. I've seen this tote in person and it's just as chic and stylish in real life as it is on Lydia's arm in this still from the Gossip Girl season finale.

This super roomy tote bag is perfect for carrying to and from the office. At 15" long and 5" deep, it's big enough to carry your files, notepads, and office-on-the-go necessities, plus your wallet, keys, and other goodies. It comes in a wide range of neutral colors, including Sandstone (shown here), Black, River Stone, Maple, and Lichen-- a stunning mossy green-- which is great for ensuring that you will be able to pair your color choice with a large portion of your wardrobe. Plus, the easy access front zip pocket is ideal for stashing your morning commute necessities, like your Starbuck's cash and office access card. It's like it was made for stylish working girls. Love it.
