Mood Board: Inspired by Valentine's Day & Lipstick under $30

This week, the new MAC Collection with designers Isabel and Ruben Toledo arrived online and possibly the cutest packaging ever! While most of collection is available online, the official in-store date launches this Thursday, so you can see all of it person and possibly snag the most coveted color, Oxblood (sold out online already). I stopped by Nordstrom yesterday to get a glimpse and it really is a beautiful nude lipstick. So, yes this mood board is basically inspired by a lipstick. These are some of my favorite red and pink items I've seen in the last few days that reminded me of Kate Spade.

Will you be picking up anything from the new MAC collection?

{Splurge v. Steal} Rebecca Minkoff Crossbody Bag

I have been coveting a Rebecca Minkoff bag for quite sometime and I still haven't made the purchase. Fortunately for handbag lovers, I found this very similar bag at Charming Charlie's for only $30 (my store actually extended their sale a week at it is now only $20!!) This really is a charming store and it is organized by color, which makes shopping so fun and easy. They sell affordable handbags, trendy jewelry, and a small selection of clothing, although the accessories are where it's at..for me anyway.

What do you think of this look-a-like bag - would you carry it?

Very similar details on the "steal" version: chain link strap, tassel zippers, size and shape, and the color..what's not to love?!

Thanks for reading!
