Stylish with Substance

Think I was excited about viewing the Marc Jacobs show? Well I was. But most Marc Jacobs bags are just a dream to you and me and Spring is far off.

So now with that in perspective you might try to imagine my excitement about the release of Coach's 65th anniversary line.

Oh, yes! (You must already know I love Coach, though.)

The line brings back vintage styles with more modern shapes, it brings back a little of that ol' Bonnie Cashin (designer head) kiss-lock. And it keeps new classics, like many bags in the "Legacy" collection that also resemble bags from last Spring. Coach even is introducing smaller details that instantly click with fans, like the color combo of Khaki (brown-toned) Signature with Ebony (YES, BLACK!) leather trim. Brown and black on one bag, Coach, you've finally taken one of my suggestions from my telepathic love notes!

One other thing that Coach is introducing is something major: a higher price point. Some bags cost the same, but many more rise above $600. And then---get this, there's a limited edition Alligator bag for $10,000. Hello Hermes?! Even a genuine ostrich clutch for over $1,000! Oh, my!

Hopefully that will attract some more "catwalk" cred to the brand. Gucci schmucci?

Stay tuned for more products! Preview and shop the Anniversary Legacy accessories by Coach.

More bought, more added! (The previous list is here, but only appears once, because I changed the date on the same list [I updated twice too close together].)

CHECK! Coach Signature Medium Carryall
-- (I still need something like it in black!)
CHECK! More jeans, Express "E" jeans, two pairs. I still need to get them hemmed!
-- CHECK! Coach Signature school tote.
-- CHECK! Fall, comfy boots: found in a flat! Black suede. They're so cute, I can't believe it. They suit me. These great boots were at a good price, so I might try to find the brown at different Macy*s locations.

-- Polka dot flats ???
-- Leopard flats at either Nine West or Steve Madden
-- J. Crew Wool Flats
I'm giving up on the flats, they don't fit or are not comfy---arggh.
-- CHECK! Fall grey sweater/jacket (from Express).
CHECK! Coach Bouclé Field Bag
CHECK! Coach key fobs: maroon satchel and apple (for my school tote)
-- Do I still want that Brown Satchel? I want new things now:
-- CHECK! Coach charm, Anniversary Stripe Wallet & Coin Purse... (And ooh! do I want this fabu wristlet?!)
-- Coach Legacy Signature Shoulder Bag in Khaki/Ebony! (Yes, brown + black in one!) (I think I'm getting this for my birthday, and asking for gift cards.)

I need more and more, don't I? (With lightening funds.)
