SHOP LoveBrownSugar: Leather Shoulder Bags

Thanks to everyone who stopped by SHOP LoveBrownSugar last week for our "Retro Printed Blouse" pop-up shop. Seems like you guys are really loving the merchandise, so I'm gonna keep it coming! This week's boutique features some amazing leather shoulder bags you won't want to miss.

There are only a few styles available this week, so catch them while you can. No sizes necessary - accessories are one size fits all!

This leather gem is a vintage girl's dream. Color blocking, long shoulder strap and just the right size for day trips around town.

It can also be worn as a clutch with the straps tucked in. Cute huh? Get it HERE.

If cognac is your thing, check out this cutesy distressed leather shoulder bag. I love the scaled detailing at the bottom and on the clasp. Just the right size to make a statement without being overbearing. Get it HERE.

I love a good drawstring bag. So when I saw this two-toned shoulder bag, I knew I had to bring it home. There's so much character in the details. Take it off my hands HERE.

More in-store, so check SHOP LoveBrownSugar and see for yourself!

The Leather Shoulder Bag boutique at SHOP LoveBrownSugar closes on May 16th at 11:59PM EST.

LBS Weekend Chic: Twitpic Edition

 For those of you who don't follow LoveBrownSugar on Twitter, I thought I'd give you a tiny update on my weekend ramblings. Me and my boyfriend went cruising around uptown today. That's me above (never mind my frizzy hair - blame it on NYC humidity) in one of my fave new H&M tops and some street vendor aviators. 

 I think one of my absolute fave activities on a sunny Saturday afternoon is thrifting. I've just recently moved to Harlem and to my surprise and delight there are some amazing thrift places in the neighborhood. 

 I scored this really awesome leather shoulder bag (pictured above) at the local Salvation Army. Dirt cheap - only $4.99!

 I also scored this oversized printed button-up that I kinda turned into a summer jacket/dress. I layered it over my body-con mini and slapped a belt over it once I got home. Drab to fab? What do you think?

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and Happy Daddy Day to all who'll be celebrating tomorrow ;)

LoveBrownSugar Etsy Giveaway: Winner!

 We have a winner folks. Congrats to Vivian for winning the LoveBrownSugar Etsy Giveaway!! 

Her inspiration: Tina Turner...

Vivian says: "I must say this is hard to name just one DIVA there are so many great women to choose from. However I have to choose Tina Turner. She is not only a rocking great singer but the confidence that she exudes on stage and in life is so beautiful. Though she is beautiful on the outside her inner strength has been a driving force in my life. After reading her biography some years ago, I was given the strength to continue on in life's journey. I know from her tenacity that if she can do it so can I. And how can you not love a woman who can hold the title for sexiest legs in her 60's. With her kind of fierceosity she should be leaving burn marks at her every step..."

Congratulations again to our five finalists - your responses were so inspiring. Look out for more LBS contests this month and don't forget to check LoveBrownSugar on Etsy if you're into vintage finds!
