anxious shoppers on line outside of Diane von Furstenberg sample sale...
I went to the Diane von Furstenberg sample sale a couple of days ago, where I joined a massive line for the pleasure of rummaging through hundreds, maybe thousands, of dresses, coats, bathing suits and shirts in very close quarters with lots of other eager shoppers! It was well worth it though...I was able to come away with a few wrap dresses all for the price of one. Thanks to Claire of The Fashion Bomb for putting me on! Check out my coffee colored bag picks below and be sure to check out The B-Life for additional summer it bags!


L to R: Marc Jacobs' "Karen" leather frame bag $1,050.00 at net-a-porter; TopShop's oversize slouch bag £100; Rafe New York Jane St. "Kate" large hobo bag on bag, borrow or steal (love this site!); and Asos' sexy cut shopper £15.00!
