Stylish with Substance

I'm back in it baby. Back big with COACH. Less signature, though, and more quality, durable leathers.

See, two "quality" brand bags I recently bought started to tear or otherwise fall apart on me and I've given up on Wilson Leather's either plainness or copying high design. Bleh. And COACH is what I can afford (only almost, at the rate I buy, but whatev!), and they can make some really nice details, and even some signatures are done well. They aren't perfect, but I have to stick with them.

I visited the COACH Factory Store for the first time. No signature products, really, at all. And no shoes. I had wanted to browse shoes and signature wallets (so I turned to eBay). I did see two pebbled leather satchels that I had seen before on eBay. I bought them from the site (ordered green, then divulged in the black) and I did save money from even the outlet prices (and some on shipping).

Also, the start of COACH's Preferred Customer days came while I was away and at the Boca Raton mall. I went to town. My mother even bought a bag. I preordered a very special bag and also splurged on three small goods. Although, I realized they weren't exactly, quite perfect for me, and I'm trading them for just two and for less money on eBay (yeah, the signature wallet and a matching wristlet). But the bag, the bag is all mine. Stay tuned for more, because it's not available on retail, yet.

What first caught my eye about these low-heeled wedges was the multi-brown pair. I did order the "black" (more dark brown) though because they were running out of sizes. I love them, too. And the 2 1/2" heel is really great because there is a platform to lessen the feeling. They are really so comfortable, by a new Clarks brand called Artisan, with a padded heel.

They do start to hurt during a lo-hot of walking, especially with the friction from the toe to the leather sole (and the straps, at first). But I still can't wait to wear them again in shorter distances.
