I found this adorable vintage floral handbag at an antique market in Monterey. I fell in love with it right away. I love when something vintage echoes something so on trend … in this case, florals!
It made me feel ladylike and ready for spring!

A few super pretty floral bags I found online …
Here’s just a few of my favs from last week’s link up …
(you fab dolls make it soooo hard to only pick a few!)
Here’s Katie of Hello Katie Girl looking springy in this pretty abstract floral skirt, with a striped top and denim jacket.
Mica of Away from the Blue has been enjoying beautiful weather for awhile now in Australia. How cute and chic is she in shorts with a kimono and statement necklace?
And Pam of Over 50 Feeling 40 is the picture of classy chic in this leopard coat and red bag!
Thanks for all the gorgeous looks you shared last week. Here’s to another great link up! Link away, link back, and have fun!

It's a beautiful bag. Vintage bags are really special, especially evening bags. I also love vintage jewellery (there's a shop in Notting Hill in London that always seems to have a little something to tempt me, I don't even dare pass it anymore…). Have a wonderful weekend!
Shopping vintage is so fun! 😀
That bag is adorable and I love the clasp on the top! Loving those purple heels too!

You were a smart woman to grab that floral purse. I can see it will take you on many fun adventures, it just seems to brighten the entire outfit as well as the day. Thoroughly enjoy your fun Friday link up, I've just been crazy traveling lately so I don't really have any photos ready to share but I'm thinking of you.

What a lovely vintage find! Great how it pulls the whole outfit together.
We are very far from Spring here and I just heard on the weather forecast is will stay Autumny till at least Easter! It is 6°C (42 °F) with a nasty wind, brrrrrrr! Hence the leather trouser still on my post…
Brrr … hope you get some spring weather soon! Thanks for being a part of the fun today! OXOX
