{The portable trapese
In the handbag world, there's nothing better than finding a stunning leather bag in a staple hue. Yep, we welcome camel, deep brown and black any day of the week... and love when they come with clean lines and that sweet leather smell. Today's purseday pick is a classic style by Celine that we're thinking might be worth the splurge!
Wouldn't it be nice
A weekend getaway, with these in tow? You better believe this purseday pick has us dreaming of travel!!

Sweet potato purseday
I'm still dreaming of those delicious recipes from yesterday! So much so that today's purseday pick is derived from one classic autumn root vegetable that is super starchy and oh-so-divine! It just so happens that Rebecca Minkoff has her Mini M.A.C Crossbody in a perfect palette of complimentary colors. Which one would you tote?
{sweet potatoes Icing on the cake
In my humble opinion, Valentino is brilliant in the handbag department. With beautiful shapes, tasteful embellishments and colors on trend, I'm constantly fascinated, though {strangely} rarely compelled to actually add one to my wish list. Prime example would be these perfectly detailed leather beauties, that make my heart leap with the delicate ramage pattern on both sides. It sort of reminds me of icing on a cake...

Impressive, isn't it? Would you add one of these to your wish list?
Happy Halloween
On such a day it wouldn't make sense to highlight a purseday pick from anyone other than the one and only: Alexander McQueen. This man has an eye for skulls and makes every effort to make them elegant.

Now tell me... do you think he's crazy or are you captivated by the trend of skulls?
Trends to tote this Fall
There are so many fabulous handbags coming out this fall and we're just dying with excitement over the rich colors and fun textures. As we've been faithfully perusing bags for our weekly Thursday Purseday picks, there are a few trends that we keep seeing and keep LOVING for the season. Take a peek...
1- Ted Baker
2- Pieces
Soft & feminine metallics
Metallics have become our favorite neutral. By now, you've probably gathered that we have a healthy fixation with gold, but we've developed a HUGE crush on gold's super hip, feminine sister, Rose. It's EVERYWHERE...
Do you love it as much as we do?! Well today's purseday pick is a rose gold beauty from designer, Vince Camuto. There is so much to adore about this bag... the pleats, the gold hardware, the cross-body style...

What do you think?
Purseday picks: calfskin & fringed eyelets
Though nothing can replace Burberry's timeless plaid pattern, we're totally obsessing over this striped calfskin bag! Their Fall 2013 Collection is to die for. Seriously, you've got to check it out!

Oh and one more that we're drooling over... this one with fringed eyelets all over!
Fall textures
I LOVE fur and clearly have been crushing on all things emerald lately. This combo is fresh & classic for fall...

Yep, we've got fall on the mind over in the Paper Moss office... there is NO denying it any longer so we're going in for a full embrace!
A beaded beauty
The Mr. and I have been surrounded by warm air and white sand for a few days now and I'm loving the laid back look of tropical style. This beaded clutch caught my eye awhile ago and would be the perfect way to accessorize an outfit- casual or formal! Isn't this pattern so fun?!

Sadly I'm not rocking this exact purse, however it's been fun pulling out some of my beachy & warm weather handbags to sport while honeymooning! Happy Purseday!
Feathers + gemstones
Today, my man and I are hopping on a plane and heading to Seattle for the beginning of our wedding weekend! I can hardly believe the day is already here!! Obviously I have all things wedding on the mind right now, so today's Purseday pick is this beautiful ostrich feather bridal clutch that I wish I would have found months ago... Isn't it heavenly?!

Prayers for safe travels... and sanity are appreciated! ;) See you tomorrow for some fun weekend inspiration!
Hiding out
Long ago I fell in love with C.Wonder's classic nylon tote... it's such a practical purchase, between being durable, versatile & fashionable! Though I tend to gravitate toward solids {especially for handbags} I usually love the seasonal prints for this bag. This seasons print however, is an earthy camo with a complimentary "hunting" orange. I have mixed emotions... for a multi-season bag, I vote no... however for fall, it's kind of cute?! What do you think? Please weigh in!
A tasseled beauty
When it comes to purses, I typically gravitate toward ones that are versatile and timeless. In my world form = function... but sometimes you just need a statement piece. I was totally thrown off when this Jimmy Choo tasseled beauty caught my eye. Completely out of my style range, but there is something so stunning about it! Perhaps it's the glittery pairing of guava colored threads + gold chain detailing? What do you think??

Fail proof fall fashion
The time is near my friends... yes, fall is on our radar! Oh goodness, how did summer fly by so quickly? As much as we hate to part with sunny days, beach runs and the need for ice cream to keep cool, this fall has so many fun things in store!! Admittedly, I've been shopping a tad more than usual these days {can't blame a girl for wanting some cute clothes for the honeymoon!} and have fallen in love with some of the new collections that are anticipating the change of seasons. Aren't these bags from Banana Republic to die for?! Which would you choose?
A Vince Camuto must have!
My ever growing obsession with handbags was recently fueled when I laid eyes on these beautiful leather cross bodies by Vince Camuto. The tassle, the timeless shape, the antique gold hardware ... gah!! I'd take one of each of these sweet colors!

Which would you choose?
Popcorn purseday
Leave it up to Kate Spade to turn something potentially tacky, into a sweet & kitschy trend. This popcorn handbag is a prime example:

How does she do it?! I personally would never tote that bag around, but it's kinda cute! What do you think?
Market style
Hitting up the farmers market is sadly a rarity in our busy schedules these days, though it's something I miss dearly! There is something so peaceful about perusing the different booths, looking at colorful fresh fruits and veggies displayed under the sun... ah! So fun! Today's purseday is from West Elm of all places, but we're just adoring these bags that are clever and cute for a run to the market!

Current obsession
Well it's no surprise that we LOVE handbags and assorted leather goods {hence the weekly purseday posts} but what REALLY fires us up, is finding a bargain. Since we highlighted a Tuesday Shoesday steal this week, it's only fair to share a purseday pick thats quite a deal. We're just loving on this pale pink leather wristlet from j.crew!! Versatile, practical and for only $100 it's pretty challenging to pass up...

Pippa purseday
One of my dear friends is a huge fan of the Royal Family and ever since the wedding of Price William and Kate, she's adored Pippa Middleton... along with the rest of the world. :) Just the other day said friend was mentioning the ever popular Pippa Purse by Modalu {have you seen this?!} and I was instantly intrigued the moment I laid eyes on it:
Gorgeous, isn't it? If this color scheme isn't for you, the Pippa purse comes in a range of colors and even different types of pretty leather. Happy purseday!!
