If you're sick of carrying around the same black bag day in and day out, you'll love the Carker from Anya Hindmarch in creamy leather and subtle golden hardware. The fabulous Editor of British Vogue, Alexandra Shulman, assured Bag Snob loyalist furlagirl this is the bag to invest in this season and we absolutely agree! Plus it's so chic to carry a winter white bag during the dreary dark days of winter. It's not as difficult to maintain as you think and it is actually easier to wear than basic black or brown. The structured clean lines of the Carker is classic and chic and the functional outer pocket is roomier than most bags which means you can shove all of your lipglosses in there. Its double handles are long enough to fit in the crook of your arm or you can attach the optional shoulder strap. And really, at $895 the Carker is a no brainer.
I love the contrast of a light colored bag against a stark black dress, the cutesy frock from See By Chloe with gold sphere buttons is perfect for a simple bag like the Carker. Both at Net-a-porter.

Anyone know when Bluefly is doing their next sweepstakes? I see that LuxCouture has a sweepstakes for a Giorgio Brato handbag at http://www.luxcouture.com/sweepstakes/
Any other good sweepstakes out there? It helps with the holiday shopping list, so figured I’d start some postings on it so we can share info (sure we’re competing against each other but hey, we all improve chances of winning something when we know about them).
