For today’s Friday Fave, I thought I’d post pictures of some of the handbags I’m drooling after. For the past month or so I have been in search of a replacement for my big red bag (which has helped many a friends locate me in a crowd lol). I’m totally in love with these designer bags, but they are a bit out of my price-point, so I am hoping to employ you all to help me find an affordable alternative! Thanks and enjoy the eye candy!
Solid Ground
Clockwise from the top: Prada tote; Dolce and Gabbana “Miss Sicily” bag; Mulberry “Mabel” satchel; Derek Lam leather bucket bag
Wild Things
Clockwise from the top: Valentino “Alice Glam” sequin and feather tote; Donna Karan clutch; Alexander McQueen satchel; Judith Leiber clutch; Marni floral print fold-over purse
Classy Ladies
Clockwise from the top: Burberry “Haymarket” tote; Smythson “Erica” bag; 3.1 Phillip Lim “Karolina” purse; Hermès bucket bag
What bags are you eyeing after right now? And if you could help me find affordable alternatives to any of these bags, I would appreciate it immensely!

I would say keep an eye out on sites like HauteLook. They have designer purse sales that can be really great deals!

I am with Vickie I love that DL Bucket bag!! I love to find vintage finds at the local thrift store, the Brentwood Goodwill is so clean and they have some great stuff, may not be Prada but vintage is always in

Hey Maria – it was good talking with you at ad:tech during the mastermind. I just noticed Macy’s is having a big handbag sale with free shipping (coupon code SHIPFREE). As of right now, it’s not yet completely picked over.
