What a great way to kick off Fashion Week! My phone has been buzzing with text messages and emails all day from friends who are at the tents and saw this feature in the Daily. US Weekly’s Sasha Charnin Morrison was the first to alert me with this message– “You are in today’s Daily– MAJOR”. We had no idea this was coming and wish we knew where to send the flowers and chocolates. So to the editors at the Daily– a huge thanks for the shout out! (jump for complete feature)
Major it is indeed! How fabulous! xoxo
You girls are just too cool. You deserve all the hype. There is one thing though, I think that you are in need of 1 more bag snob, me. Don’t you think a Greek American bagsnob would be an interesting addition. I am the biggest authority on handbags (and shoes and clothing) in my part of the woods.
One look from me can make my friends keep their new bags (Hermes, Chanel, Valentino, Lanvin, Dior, Oscar, etc., etc., etc.,) or run back to the stores to return them. Think about it girls, maybe you are in need of one more bag snob on the East Coast with a very talented eye, who is a very good writer as well. Sorry for all my shameless self-promoting. It’s all true, I kid you not. Why not join forces and take our obsession to the next level.
Now with this terrible recession, I can’t just run in to Oscar and buy unlimited Goya’s, so I must indulge my fetish in other ways that doesn’t get me in trouble with my beloved hubby. I have access to the Americana shopping center in Manhasset, New York; Saks, New York; Bergdorf Goodman, New York; Barney’s, New York. I’ve been to fashion week at Bryant Park (second row,) and have met most of the hottest designers from Oscar de la Renta, to Zac Posen.
Come on ladies, won’t you give a gal a chance…
Thank you, and you know where to find me…
what a coup! Congrats on the piece. Very well deserved!
I just wanted to add a few more things, if you can please indulge me…
Above, in my first paragraph, I meant to say in my “neck” of the woods. I don’t want to sound like I just got off the boat, because I was born here. Both my parents were Greek immigrants, though.
Also, if you take me on, I can be the Ariana Huffington (with or without the heavy Greek accent, your choice) of handbags. The Bag Snob can be the Huffington Post of handbag blogs. It can be sort of the Big Fat Greek Handbag Blog. I can even get some of my family to comment as well. For example, O, dis bag, no goot. U neet lam to eet befor u louk at dis bag.
Last but not least, people consider me very funny. I am the life of the party as well. I am pretty, tall, funny, chic and very fashionable (I’m sorry if I sound conceited, but I really am not. I just have to sell myself to you in this paragraph…) I can name the designer of an item, whether it be a handbag or a gown at a glance.
Oh well, I think you have enough to mull over while you are picking your next it bag. Again, thanks for hearing me out.

Kay,
You are funny! Sure, we’ll consider it
Have a great weekend!
xoxo
exciting indeed, congrats girls!
very major, you guys must be so excited. wait, you are excited. haha
great job!
Hey gals this is very cool!
You’ve made it!
Excuse me but your excitement has caused me to go into debt! kidding! but really, i always follow you advice. Nothing worse than buying a bag without consulting your site and see it on your rag list. Not because I have no style but you are like the unbiased cool girlfriend in the know. I just like to make sure i’m making a good investment. That Tod’s bag you suggested has lasted me longer than any bag I”ve ever bought and I avoided buyer’s remorse! So, you are the bomb! have a great week!
love Bryan boy!
