in love with....

its the SAME dress of course that both 2 of my favorite street style blogs have both captured. the airiness, color, material just screams of summer to me. plus i love her stappy flat sandals. what a difference having her hair up and sunglasses does to this outfit! The dress is Prada and I feel that I will be hunting for one similar this entire summer. :)

What a fantastic thing to wear for my trip this weekend...well I do have tonight to shop.

off post: designer nylon bags

today i was thinking about my love/hate relationship with designer nylon bags. nylon as a material is cheap. really cheap. some people honestly dislike it because why pay designer prices for a bag that may or may not stand the test of time (in comparison to leather). some think nylon bags are cheap and tacky looking.

i CAN feel that way sometimes. nylon bags are honestly the easiest bags to counterfit for little cost. but ive known myself to gravitate to them as well. i love how if it gets wet in the rain i dont have to fuss over keeping it dry, because its nylon. :) I love how it is a rougher bag and i can stuff a lot of things into it.

but its not leather. wait do i really want leather? do i want to pay the price of a leather designer bag, or just get the designer label with a more inexpensive alternative?
prada has to be my favorite nylon bag provider. :) they have a good variety and have been eying one for a few months now.

here are some designer labels that carry nylon bags:

- Longchamp
- Kate Spade
- hermes
- tod's
- marc jacobs
- christian dior
- fendi
- gryson
- lanvin

here are some of my current favorites:
