Beetlejuice meets Kate Spade

So back in June I fell in love with this beyond beautiful Kate Spade bag. Just about all her stuff is feminine perfection, but it's pricey and I just don't spend more than $80 on a bag. And that's because I only have about three bags that I've paid that much for; all the rest are either given to me by my mom, thrifted (so, under $5) or just really inexpensive. But I fell hard for this one because it reminded me of one of my favorite childhood movies: Beetlejuice. (The bag handles remind me of the staircase scene. Who knows what I'm talking about?) Plus, it's one of the few KS bags that's not strictly sophisticated and...mature. I love how this one is classy and quirky because of those black & white stripes. I could literally dress this bag up or down.

I just love the box shape, that pretty bow, the polka dot interior lining, and that Beetlejuice feel! Ugh, it's the perfect bag for me!

I honestly didn't think I was going to get it, but I was relentless in my begging, and I've never been on better behavior in my life! Mikey had just finished working on a project that took up anywhere from 12 to 14 hours of his day for about a month and was paid a nice chunk of change, so I knew we had the funds to splurge a bit. (Notice how I said "we" - a perk of marriage: his money = my money.) Jump to the end of the story where he falls in love with the bag, too (after seeing it everyday for a month), and decides that if it makes me happy then I should have it. Gosh, he is a smart one, that boy. He even got me the exclusive phone case I wanted. And yes, I've been wearing the shit out of this bag. You'll see it in many, many pictures from here on out.

^Beetlejuice stache and no makeup. I just love it. Thank you to Mikey for spending your hard earned cash on a shetbag like me. 
And thank Y'ALL for reading the post of a spoiled ass brat. ;) Have a terrific Tuesday, pretty birds!

    1. I do treat him nice everyday...I was just *extra* nice when I wanted this bag. And he wouldn't even get it on his own if I were extra good all the time; he needs to be reminded weekly of the things I want. Therefore, I'm constantly being a good girl...aka suck up. haha

  2. Oh my lord, what a cutie pie you've got there! I'm liking the philosophy of "if it makes you happy you should have it" ;) The bag is gorgeous! ♥

  3. Oh man you are so lucky! I cant even get Kevin to buy me flowers. I mean he always says he's going to but then he forgets. Your man needs to give my man a lesson on gift giving pronto.

    1. I honestly think Kevin and Mikey would get along marvelously. They both seem like nerdy nerds who'd enjoy talking about science and shit like that. I'll tell Mikey to pass along his gift giving wisdom if we ever get our little meet up.

    1. Aww thanks, Anni :)
      Oh, and I know! This bag will probably last longer than most that I have. It's heaven and it will never go out of style because of these pretty stripes. It's so timeless.

    1. Yes they are! I wish we were millionaires so he could splurge on a little pink Chanel bag I've always wanted. But that will happen one day...a long time from now...and I doubt we'll be millionaires. Heck, it will probably break our bank account but I want it, at least when I'm in my late 30's or early 40's. ;)
      Thanks, Violet ♥
