Fashionable Giveaway: $25 Gift Card to Bag Borrow or Steal

Doesn’t all this talk about handbags lately, get you excited about purchasing a new handbag for the Spring? Being the early bird that I am, I have already plunked down over $600 for my latest Bulga bag (See “What I Just Bought” post). Which has all the much needed functionality and practicalityof a good bag, however I do find myself day dreaming about all the exuberant “it” bags in vivid prints and bright hues of tangerine, canary, and royal blue. I almost feel totally left out of Spring’s stellar handbag offerings, when suddenly, I remember a surreptitious treasure by the name of Bag Borrow or Steal. This brings us to this month’s Fashionable Giveaway…

One lucky blog reader will receive a $25 gift card to Bag Borrow or Steal. The gift card can be redeemed online at www.bagborroworsteal.com. For those of you that are unfamiliar with the website, designer handbags can be rented for weekly fees ranging from as little as $10 a week to over $300 a week. Better yet, if you fall in love with a designer handbag you can “steal it” and purchase it at a reduced price! Handbags not your thing? They also carry a great selection of designer jewelry and accessories. Designer labels include everything from Coach, Marc Jacobs, Prada, and Gucci. The entire designer index can be viewed here.
