I have ogled many Melie Bianco bags in my time, but never ponied up for one. This adorable tote looked MUCH bluer on the site, and I have to say I was a little disappointed at its lilac hue ... but the description does say "purple," so it's my own fault for being inattentive. The vinyl has a cute crinkled finish, and the brass hardware is super high quality.
I also prefer a bag that can be slung over my shoulder in a pinch, and the handle drop on this tote is too short. But it does come with a longer strap that clips onto the hardware for just such an emergency.I was also lucky enough to receive this cutie pie, a fantastically roomy wallet. Just check out that interior:
Even I don't have enough Petco/library/debit cards to fill that bad boy up.
The vinyl is textured to emulate pony hair which is a really cute touch. And since I am well known for spilling greasy crap all over my bags and wallets, I'm excited to use this little number worry-free. Everything I slob on it will wipe right off!
But let's talk about the good stuff now: THE CONTEST!
Handbag Heaven is letting me give away two lovely handbags from their site. How cool is that, I ask ya? Here are the deets:
1. Go to Handbag Heaven and pick out your favorite bag.
2. Come back to this post and leave a comment about it, with a valid e-mail address in the comment.
3. Do one of the following: Fan Handbag Heaven on Facebook, follow Handbag Heaven on Twitter, or sign up for their e-mail newsletter (top of the page).
This contest is open to U.S. and Canadian residents only.
Do all of that no later than midnight CST on Sunday, November 22. I'll draw a winner at random later in the week.
Good luck, kittens!

I feel a handbag purchase coming on....
My favorite is the Polly Striped Tote (http://www.handbagheaven.com/striped-buckle-tote.html). I have been looking for a bag that can work with black- and brown-based outfits for a long time now. I had one, but I passed it on to my mom (she whined).

I'm totally smitten with the Melie Bianco Pleated Tote in orange! It's big enough to drop my latest novel, planner, and notebook in, while being slim enough to throw over my shoulder. And the color! The perfect addition to my mostly neutral winter wardrobe.

My favorite is the Nellie Convertible Satchel in Purple. I also liked the Alyssa Luxury Tote in purple. Can you tell I've been looking for a purple bag?
I signed up for their email list. wnkremer (at) gmail [dot] com.
My first thought was that I loved the Trudi Timeless Tote and Sami Quilted Satchel--I love a large purse and carry one every day. But then I started thinking that I need to break away from my basic every day work purse and look at "fun" purses-- and think the Valencia Patent Hobo is just waiting for a night out on the town as THE statement piece!
Oops sorry forgot my email with my comment on the Valencia Patent Hobo -- leslied114 at gmail dot com. I'm now a FB fan!
There are so many that would make excellent additions to my closet! I think my favorite is the Carmela City Bag in Pewter. Sooooo cute! I signed up for their newsletter too.

I picked up the Nellie a couple of weeks ago in Purple and really like it (normally I am a complete purse snob!) and I'm tempted to get the Classic Quilted Shoulder Bag too since I know Chanel won't be in my future for a looooong time!

Thank you for linking to this website. I had never seen it before and am in HEAVEN! I love the Darcie Zipper Hobo you pictured, but if I could choose would go with the MELIE BIANCO FLAT ZIPPER TOTE. I am home with a sick baby and just saw a tote like this in the pedi's office and LOVED IT! Now I know where to get it. Also following on twitter, facebook and e-mail. Even if I don't win I should get some good coupons.

That bronze Broad Ripple Satchel called my name as soon as the page loaded! This is the second blog I've read that is tooting the horn of Handbag Heaven, I guess I gotta jump on it as I am a handbag gal. My email is Biblegirl823(at)yahoo (dot)com.
Wait a sec. Did you say pick out a favorite? As in one? Impossible! There are so many lovelies - but I narrowed it down to two:
Avril Midtown Satchel in red (oohlala) and the Caylie Crescent Hobo (fabulosity).
I'm following Handbag Heaven on Facebook now, too.
I've been reading your blog for a couple of weeks now, and it's been quite inspiring. Thank you!

I love the Giraffe duffle BUT I just got an overnight bag for my birthday this year (black with pink insides...it's awesome) so if I won I would cross my fingers for the Giraffe Print Buckle Hobo with red accents. I think it would go with almost everything!

I like the Darcie zipper hobo in gray. The zipper detailing is just like that necklace you made last week!
I love the Paisley Stud Tote.
kristen917 at gmail dot com
Wow--I'm not a handbag addict, but this site has some beautiful and different bags & I'm loving them.
I'm coveting the blue Avalon zipper flower and the Jacqueline shoulder bag. I think I might actually get the Paisley clutch (even on backorder!)

I'm a big fan of the Melie Bianco handbags. They tend to be well made and have lots of pockets for all my stuff. That said, I think the Porsha Croc Hobo would make a good work bag.
I love the North Ridge Bag in Red, my email is

The Portland Pocket Satchel in gray, pretty please! Lots o' pockets for all my mom stuff, a long shoulder strap so I can wear it cross body and have hands free for dog leashes and street crossings, plus lots of zippers so I look a little edgier than mom jeans ... check, check and check!

My cell phone keeps dropping, my wallet just fell.
Not having a purse is my personal hell!
The Hayden Buckle Hobo in Light Purple would look great with my shoes!
Hopefully I'll get lucky and be the person you choose!

My favorite bag is definitely the Erica Two Tone Hobo http://www.handbagheaven.com/erica-oversized-hobo.html -- I love the color contrast and the general shape of the bag. It seems attractive and sleek without being ultra-formal, and it's professional without seeming outmoded or intimidating.

I love the Nellie Convertible Satchel in Red. I have no red bags...so I need one! And it's a nice deep shade of red - not too "in your face." Plus, i love the dainty handles, but the option that you can make it a cross-body bag sold it for me.
Like the Trudy Timeless Tote - the Orange Modern Bowler & the blk Cape Cod tote on clearance!
Oooh, I'd love the Broad Ripple Satchel in bronze. I spent way too much time looking at the site; thanks for sharing it!
gienahghurab [at] yahoo [dot] com
I am in love with the print on the Paradise Print woven hobo bag. And the comfy-looking-ness of the Carmela City bag (in bronze. it just looks so squeezeable!). And it literally took me longer to narrow things down to these two than it did to do the homework for one of my graduate school classes today, so I'm going to back away slowly before I see any more.
I am a fan on Facebook now, though, so I'm sure I won't be able to stay away!
