Double Take: A Celine Bag

Bag c/o Aldo (available in black right here)

Sometimes, no matter how hard you daydream about a particular item there's just now way it could ever be yours...except if you win the lotto. Like many fashion enthusiastic out there I have been daydream about owning a Céline bag however, the steep price point of any of the styles offered had me resign from ever being able to make it mine...at least for another decade (hey, a girl can still dream. Right?). When this happens, what can you do but find the next best thing...

This Aldo bag is everything I wanted it to be. I swear every requirement on my list for the perfect bag is checked...whether it is look wise or simply a question of practicality. Totes are the best format to carry around all of my journals/diaires/magazines/books (it like i'm scared of being bored...). I also enjoy the fact that I have the option to wear it cross body or to simply carry it Olsen style (on my forearm). I've been using it non stop since I first received it and it's even holding up to the daily beatings of being the chosen one. I love it so much that I actually decided to buy it in another colour!

Let's see how long I can refrain myself from growing my collection...
