Trompe l'oeil

With handbags being all the craze for Fall this year, I have already started peaking around for the perfect bag to tote around with great shoes and who cares what else. (Rule # 1..A great bag with awesome shoes can make even a potato sac look incrediable) So when I spotted this rad "Rockabilly Barbie" clutching a kick-ass, pefectly sized faux croc bag I had to find out the make and model. Expecting to hear some elaborate designers name and an even more elaborate price, she instead directed me to my local Duane Reade ( for all non-New Yorkers, Duane Reade is a drug store ). For $25.99 you too can have this deluxe multi-compartment tote that is ideally suitable to organize that hellhole that you call a purse a.k.a. office, drugstore, snackmachine, etc. Designed by Caboodles, this is not the cheesy tool box that we all remember from the 80's (I had a customized engraved name plate to go on mine..i believe the year was '88) instead this is a sleek faux croc makeup bag that makes for an even better handbag. The Caboodles logo is a bit gaudy but the metal plate comes off easily. Now hurry and grab yours before Marc Jacobs teams up with them and starts selling the graffiti version for $2500.00.
