  86. Just got a purple bag and I am loving it! I never had considered purple such a great color before, but it's feminine without being too over the top girly. Love this post. Great job Carrie!

    PS do you think the price of A. McQueen's designs will be going up? Might be a good time to own something created by such a fab designer!
