Splurge Worthy Totes

My boyfriend asked me what I wanted for my upcoming 25th birthday yesterday, and I had no idea a million ideas to share with him.  Anyone in my family will tell you it's not too hard to shop for me- I'm never shy about sharing what material good my heart is lusting over.  Lately, my eye has been spying the handbag department of Neiman Marcus and just taking a spin through it makes my knees weak.  In reality, I most certainly don't have 2 grand lying around to splurge on a sexy handbag.  But, if I get all my loved ones gathered and explain that they can all go in on a leather tote with a designer label, I just might have a new bag.  Granted that bag will also be my Christmas, Valentine's Day AND Easter present... but you get the picture.  Here are a few bags (on the arms of stylish bloggers) that have me swooning...

Bradley of Luella & June carrying a Celine shopper tote.  Absolutely classic.

Kat, from With Love From, Kat sporting her YSL tote at NYFW.  I love the gold detailing.

And a few great looks from The Blonde Salad.  That Prada is super yum.
