for the love of herringbone + a giveaway!

All a girl really needs to get through her daily routine is a tiny clutch that fits her essentials – well ladies that wait is over. Herringbone is a local Bay Area handbag collection that makes it simple with only three sizes in an array of stunning colors. My current favorite is – black suede with rose gold pipping and zipper. I’m also lusting after the darling makeup bag that hasn’t left my side, it is in all black suede.

The collection is a joint venture from a dynamic duo - Shawn Burke and Camille Mason. Together they designed the necessary sizes that they felt were lacking in the market. Each are perfectly named: mini necessaire (perfect for makeup in your handbag), necessaire (fits all of your essentials) and the clutch (a little over sized and has the perfect bit of slouch to it).

Lucky for us, these lovely ladies are giving away the stunning gold necessaire to a Sacramento Street reader! Seriously readers, this is one of my favorite giveaways yet because I know how much I use my own, so I have a feeling whoever wins it won’t take it out of their hands.

To enter, all you need to do is . . .

• Comment below about where you would take this fabulous clutch out on the town.
• Be sure to follow Sacramento Street.
• And pop over to Herringbone’s facebook page and ‘like’ them.

Good luck to all of you!

Available online at Herringbone Bags - $120 - $205.

Giveaway will be end next Monday, February 13th at midnight PST.

There's been a lot of talk over the new Kate Spade Westward collection by Emily Current & Meritt Elliott - well lovelies there's reason for it. It's drop dead gorgeous in person! I'm currently coveting the Westward Wanderlust Satchel. It's a thing of beauty and I can't stop thinking about it. So to make me want it even more I pulled together the top fall essentials I would keep in this handbag - from lipgloss, to a trusty notepad. I knew this was going to make me lust over the collection even more! Bravo to the dynamic duo it's lovely collection!

sponsor post: lo & sons + giveaway!

About a month ago it occurred to me that I was toting around three canvas bags to work every day - not very efficient or chic. That's when I realized that all of my beautiful handbags didn't work for commuting back and worth to work when I was carrying so many things with me. The quest was on to find the ultimate bag that suited my needs - light, large and basic. That's when I came across Lo & Sons, a company started by a mother and her two sons to turn their mothers dream into reality. They did that and far more.

I received the O.G. handbag right before my trip to Santa Fe and knew it would be the perfect travel carry on. As I laid out everything that was going to have to go into the travel tote I quickly realized that it probably wouldn't fit, but I made this attempt - low and behold everything above and more! I had to pick my jaw up from off the ground . . . it was amazing.

When I got back from my journey to Santa Fe I couldn't stop using my O.G. and in fact I've used it every day for work and love it. It holds everything; my work computer, lunch, gym shoes, and purse essentials. Somehow it never feels like it's too bulky like the other bags I've used in the past. I have since named my O.G. the Organizational Genius, yes I'm a dork, but all of the different pockets and pouches make it easy for me to be efficient and know where everything is at all times.

And this, is why I'm BEYOND excited to share that one lucky reader will win a Lo & Sons the O.G. tote - perfect for any summer travel and bringing all your things to work every day. Be sure to check out the Lo & Sons site (be sure to watch their video), and then leave a comment here about why you'd love to win this handbag!

A lucky winner will be chosen this coming Friday (ending at midnight PST) and please be sure to leave your email address if you don't have it in your blogger profile.

But there is more! Lo & Sons is giving all Sacramento Street readers 40% off any handbag until April 30th. To redeem enter this discount code: SACSTREET.

Best of luck everyone!

a pop of color: NEON

Alright, I've got yet another Clare Vivier crush - seriously how does she do it? Last week it was the poppy red foldover clutch and this week it is the La Pochette that's in neon. I have a feeling there are some readers that are going to fall head over heels for this burst of bright color! I'm definitely a fan of this simple yet striking pouch - it's a perfect place to keep important treasures.

Let it be known, I now check her site multiple times a week for the new “it” handbag.

traveling with great style . . .

Oh my goodness, today I'm incredibly excited to be guest blogging at the Elie Tahari blog - pinch me! I'm so honored to have been asked by this amazing company. When the Elie Tahari team contacted me about doing a post, I was shocked. Then I did a little dance at my desk (yes, my coworkers sometimes think I'm a little crazy). Spring usually presents a time to travel for me so I set out immediately knowing that "traveling with great style" was perfect, especially when I came across the Emmy Bag (it's to die for). Hope all of you enjoy the post! xx

I LOVE . . .

One of my favorite new handbag companies, Les Composantes, came up with a fun blog post - if only mine looked like these. I've been looking for a new handbag since last Spring - can't wait for the gray on to be deliver! I love that you can carry it or put it over your shoulder. It's perfect for all the traveling I'll be doing in the next few months.

Don't speak French? Don't fret, the Les Composantes site will be translated to English by March! Can't wait since I'm currently trying to translate it myself with my broken French.

PS. They also ship to the US!

i've got a MAJOR crush . . .

Do you ever go into a store to visit something you’re lusting over? Just to say hello . . . I'd like you to meet my crush, the Storm King Willa handbag by Kate Spade.

Kate Spade designers discovered this luminous leather on a recent trip to Italy - le sigh. Not only is the outside magnificent, but the inside is equally as beautiful, ivory lining with gold polka dots.

I may have to bring this home with me one of these days!
