Get The Bag...
Here’s the Haute Mess in my Pocketbook.
When you choose your bag first it’s got to be cute cute cute! And most of all a bag’s gotta werk werk werk!!!
You don’t just wear a bag once - you want one you can wear MANY ways. A good bag should take you from day to night, casual to cocktail.
When the fabulous team of American fashion designer Sergio Hudson introduced me to the RobertJames Handbag Collection I was instantly enchanted. Meticulously crafted, limited production and 100% artisan cut sewn and created in the US RobertJames represents the epitome of luxury, thanks to Creative Director James Norton.
If I had a nickel (maybe a dime now with inflation) for every time I get asked “What do you carry in your bag?” I’d probably have enough to fly first class to Paris! Seriously tho, it’s so fun to peek in other people’s bags so I thought I’d show you the essentials that get me through the day.
First of all, the bag.
This is the RobertJames Phoebe Tote in Forest Green.
People don’t often think of green as a go with everything ‘neutral’ - but they should: it's both a statement and neutral.
Today I am going from work to dinner and I’ve got stuff to haul.
Here’s What’s Inside:
Tangle Teezer - I love this brush because it has a cover for the bristles and looks chic in your bag
Pat McGrath Bronzer - Screams luxury - hydrates and wakes your face up instantly
Mimik Lipgloss - moisturizing, shiny and pretty
Nars Orgasm - I’ve had this blusher in high rotation since it debuted
My Chanel Card Holder - I mean, does anyone carry cash anymore?
Tatcha - oil blotting pads that will literally wage war on oil
Kevin Aucoin - multi-tasking smokey eye palette
Hermes Lipstick - rose tan - good basic
Epic Light Gloss - in Cosmo Kiss - I love layering lipstick - this clean beauty formula shines like a prism
Glasses by See - the most stylish frames at the best price
The Keys to my Mini Cooper car
And it all fits in my lovely RobertJames Bag…
The Phoebe is always sold out, my friend, but it’ll be back soon… so get on the list now!
