Happy Birthday to Me: My Gift to Myself from MAXX New York

Isn't she lovely? It's my birthday on September 11, and I always buy myself something nice to celebrate the fact that I made it through another year. I saw her sitting on the shelf at Nordstrom, and I couldn't walk away. It's the MAXX NEW YORK Bridle Medium Bowler.

Now, my love of NYC is well documented here, so my faithful readers will know that anything that is inspired by New York is usually right up my alley. This is my second MAXX New York bag, and they are extremely well made and just gorgeous to look at. And the price is reasonable - I only paid $198 for this medium bowler. Here are the details:

• Italian degrade patent.
• Double handle.
• Quilting detail.
• Gunmetal hardware.
• 3 top zip closures which lead to 3 separate compartments.
• 4 metal feet on bottom to protect from day-to-day dirt.
• Inside contains 2 side zip pockets, slit pocket, cell phone pocket, and IPOD pocket.
• Charcoal grey metallic lining.

It was love at first sight. It will make it's debut on Saturday with my black dress and my new stiletto heels.
