Congratulations! Please e-mail your selection and your size to recessionistaparty(at)gmail.com.
We’ve been so caught up in celebrating our followers (by giving away the shop!) that we almost forgot that you are all cordially invited to an exclusive event.
Topic du jour: the handbag. My guilty pleasure! I love designer bags. It’s a problem. My handbag collection has outgrown my closet and outgrown the mirror with hooks in my foyer. It may not be healthy, but designer bags are one vice I am not planning on giving up anytime soon. I love handbags! Let me count the ways!
- I love handbags because they always fit, even on a fat day.
- I love handbags because they are never uncomfortable and won’t give you blisters (If yours give you blisters you really need to get that taken care of!)
- I love handbags because there are so many options …materials…colors….styles!
(Ok, there are many more reasons I love handbags, but to avoid appearing completely insane, I’ll spare you!) I know that you know where we’re going with this.
To enter, tell us how you feel about handbags (even if you don’t love them) and where you buy your handbags

YEAH!!! I have been waiting for this giveaway!!!!!! I love everything about handbags! I love that they always fit and that there are so many I can use with my mood! I love dressing them up with scarves and they look completely different! My favorite place to shop for them is the Coach Outlet! I have a small obsession! And of course Recessionista!
August 17th, 2010 at 7:59 am
I love reading articles about clothes that flatter different body shapes, new trend alerts, and looks for less!
August 17th, 2010 at 8:01 am
I like ‘em – but don’t typically obsess about them. I’ll buy them when I see one I love, usually at Marshall’s or TJ Maxx – and then wear ad nauseum until I find another!
August 17th, 2010 at 8:03 am
I like reading about tips on Bargains, Sales, Coupons – I like being able to dress nicely without looking cheap/poor! (especially for work clothes)
August 17th, 2010 at 8:10 am
I used to hate them, but I have been converted to the power of designer bags. Love them.
August 17th, 2010 at 8:10 am
I LOVE purses/handbags, and would love to own multiple, but usually end up using the same one until it dies, then finally buying a new one.
August 17th, 2010 at 8:13 am
I never carried a handbag until I had kids. Then I had to use a diaper bag and I got so sick of that big old thing, but still had to carry some things for the kiddos and now I can’t do without one. I am in diaper bag stage again right now, but looking to switch to hand bag soon
August 17th, 2010 at 8:19 am
I love bags and with two kids I put tons of stuff in them! I get them at Target, DownEast and sometimes I make them!
August 17th, 2010 at 10:08 am
I made my current one. I don’t have an obsession, like needing to change them out with each outfit…
August 17th, 2010 at 10:13 am
I love love love bags- they are second only to shoes in my book! They are such a great way to add oomph to an outfit, and as a mom I have tons of stuff to lug around. I now have to limit my handbag styles to outings that don’t include my daughter, and stick to my hands-free styles when I’m out with her!
August 17th, 2010 at 10:14 am
I think my favorite fashion topics are lookbooks and complete outfit ideas.
August 17th, 2010 at 10:20 am
I love purses, I think most women have some kinda of obsession with them, it’s like shoes, you can never have enough!!
August 17th, 2010 at 10:26 am
I love hand bags so much…I feel naked without having one slung across my shoulder…really I do! Love to get them from Target, Nordstrom Rack, or I’ll splurge every now and again and buy an authentic Coach bag.
August 17th, 2010 at 10:27 am
love to see tips about how to pull off the expensive Hollywood fashions for less
August 17th, 2010 at 10:58 am
I love purses! I wish I could use them more than I do, but when you’ve already got to carry a diaper bag… I’m all about a good deal, so buying purses usually happens when something I love meets a great sale – the place doesn’t really matter very much. Although I have been finding some great purse makers on etsy.com lately.
August 17th, 2010 at 12:03 pm
I love handbags! Big or Small, Lot’s of Bling, or no Bling at all. They are perfect to carry around. Like a fine piece of artwork. Handbags are a work of art.
August 17th, 2010 at 12:04 pm
I would like to see more fashion trends for the season.
August 17th, 2010 at 1:14 pm
Like you said, handbags always fit even when you’re feeling fat. They are such a great accessory to accent any outfit and make it complete!
August 17th, 2010 at 1:35 pm
I never used to understand why women liked them so much, but in the last few years I have fallen in love. I bought my last one from you guys!
August 17th, 2010 at 1:36 pm
I love reading about what style of clothes flatters what body types
August 17th, 2010 at 2:44 pm
Designer handbags are just like diamonds they last forever and one can never have too many!
August 17th, 2010 at 3:40 pm
I love my bags too! The bigger, the better! I usually find good deals at Marshalls, TJ Maxx, or stores.
August 17th, 2010 at 3:41 pm
*outlet stores
August 17th, 2010 at 3:45 pm
I like reading about dressing to flatter different body types, new fashion trends, and how to recreate trendy looks or celebrity looks for less money.
August 17th, 2010 at 5:23 pm
I love handbags of all shapes and sizes. I have too many, but I want some more! You know how that goes! I love them and have got several from different places! Its great!
August 17th, 2010 at 5:25 pm
I love your blog…I guess it would be fun to see more ways to make an outfit! I love it all! I love fashion!
August 17th, 2010 at 6:58 pm
I LOVE handbags and I usually get mine at Target and dept. stores and other random places
August 17th, 2010 at 8:16 pm
Handbags and I have a love hate relationship. I use them to the extreme until they die because I’m so picky. I buy them wherever I see a good deal or something that fits my style. I’m not really into the trendy bags so much as a cute, sensible bag that fits my needs. Macy’s, Target, and Downeast are where my current three bags hail from.
August 17th, 2010 at 8:18 pm
The thing I’d like to see more of is outfits, maybe even the versatility of an item of clothing in multiple outfits. That would really help those of us who need their wardrobes to work overtime in any situation.
August 17th, 2010 at 9:22 pm
I love purses. I get mine from TJ MAXX or Ross’s
August 17th, 2010 at 9:23 pm
I would like to see more on how to piece outfits together. Like I have the jeans and shirt but what shoes and other accessories. That would be FANTASTIC!
August 18th, 2010 at 6:24 am
I love them! I had to scale back on designer bags after my children put greasy fingerprints on a couple of my favorites so I buy them at T J Maxx or ebay usually. I don’t have time to change them that often these days, but definitely with the seasons!
August 18th, 2010 at 8:06 am
I love hand bags! What I don’t like are the Coach or any logo handbags that everyone MUST have. I like different and those are all cookie cutter and aren’t even pretty. I need unusual, but classy. They can make or break an outfit!!
August 18th, 2010 at 8:28 am
Sadly, I live in Timmins, ON so I will not be going
Have fun though!
I love hand bags bacause there are so many choices and they always look nice on me.
August 18th, 2010 at 8:29 am
I posted on my facebook. Hope they come.
August 18th, 2010 at 8:30 am
I love reading about new things that are out there. Being from
the north of Canada, in a small city, I don’t get to see too
much.
August 18th, 2010 at 8:41 am
I LOVE me a new bag! It just makes me happy! I like to find my at TJ Maxx and Downeast.
August 18th, 2010 at 9:22 am
I collect bags!!! yep, call me the bag lady. I am into Miche bags right now, but I will buy a bag anywhere, depends on my “mood” at the time.
August 18th, 2010 at 9:34 am
I LOVE handbags! I usually just try to find them at inexpensive places…but where they still look trendy.
Can’t wait for the sale tonight!
