60% Off Gucci Designer Fashion Sale

Luxe lovers, this one is definitely for you!! The Gucci Fall/Winter Sale began online and in-stores way back on Sunday November 30th. I thought about it at the time but decided then to stay clear of it! But now I thought why not go out with a BANG!!! Mind you I don't know about you but right this very moment, recession or no recession, my credit card is maxed out to the hill. Either way, I'd have to sell most everything I own to get some of these sale items, especially the oh to die for luxury Gucci designer handbags included in the Sale!

Nonetheless, perhaps just to tease, let's pretend that I have lots of spendoola and I mean lots of it, so what would I pick? I mean really with up to 60% off on Gucci ready-to-wear designer clothing, handbags, accessories and shoes etc., from their FW 2008 collection where does one start?

Originally priced at $695, the Gucci Milady designer shoes are now on sale at $279.

Designer Handbags - Part 1

Handbags are an important fashion accessory, but will one or two handbags do the trick?

Several times before I've mentioned that like most fashionistas I just love handbags. In fact, I have many including low-cost handbags, mid-priced handbags and even some designer handbags. Like a sassy pair of shoes, I just love the way a great bag can set off an outfit even the basics like jeans and tee shirts but I can't stand accessorizing different outfits and different moods each time with the same one or two handbags, and the same applies to other accessories like shoes, jewelry and even watches.

It's because of this that like shoes and jewelry, handbags have become important fashion accessories. So I have bags that match different outfits and even different shoes and I change them from one outfit to the next.  It's about creating different looks while looking good, being trendy and stylish!

Designer Handbags are Super Chic and Trendy!

It's precisely this that I find really super chic and trendy about Hollywood A-list fashionistas like Paris Hilton and Halle Berry. It's not only that they go for top brand, designer handbags, it's also the fact that they don't just have one designer handbag, they have many. From one day to the next just about each time they're spotted they're seen with a different handbag to compliment their style and to suit the different mood or occasion! This to me is what gives them that ultra-trendy and stylish look. It's super chic!

We All Want the Latest Trendy Designer Handbags!

The other thing of course is that styles of handbags also change from one season to the next and it's this constant changing that creates the excitement in fashion and style. So even though I already own so many, I'm always on the lookout for the next perfect handbag.

I guess that it's because of this that we want the latest trendy handbags from leading designer brands as worn by celebrities and models, the beautiful people, don't we? Of course it's true that pop divas, celebrities and socialites like th e Hilton heiress can afford a new look and a different designer handbag from season to season and from one day to the next, but what about the woman who doesn't want to or just can't afford to spend a fortune on designer handbags and purses?

But Can We All Afford the latest Designer Handbags?

The prices of designer handbags have skyrocketed of late and while it surprises me that some women still continue to buy $1000 and $2000 handbags on a regular basis, unfortunately, when it comes to designer handbags, to suit different moods and occasions not everyone can afford to purchase and own a collection of  top designer labels like Coach, Gucci, Fendi, Hermes, Jimmy Choo, Mulberry and Prada, and the list goes on. While willing, most of fashionistas are sadly unable to pay the top prices that designer handbags attract and just can't justify a closet full of them in different colors and styles to suit our different moods and looks from one day to the next!

How can we Afford a Collection of Quality, Stylish, Fashionable and Trendy Handbags?

So what's the solution? How do we fashionistas satisfy the need for quality, functional and practical handbags to suit different outfits and different moods and occasions? How can we get the Hollywood A-list look when it comes to handbag design and style but without breaking the bank?

In Part 2 of my Designer Handbags journey I will begin to explain how I have and you too can easily afford to have a closet full of quality, stylish, fashionable and trendy handbags for each mood and occasion.
