Mama's Got a Brand New Bag.

I have had more good luck winning things this year than I have in my whole entire life put together. I am not kidding. And this time, what I won was PERFECT FOR ME!!

Kerry over at I Love Memphis had 30 Days of Giveaways, and all these cool stores and shops donated items and every day Kerry selected a winner at random. Imagine my surprise when I got an email from her saying I had won a handbag! I was so excited! I mean, what could be a more appropriate gift for ME, right? The catch was, the bag was so beautifully wrapped, that Kerry didn't want to open it. So no one — except the shop who had donated it — knew what it was going to look like!

Kerry told me the handbag came from the Germantown boutique, Dazzle. I hoped it wasn't going to be a tiny sequined-covered clutch. Not that that would be all bad, but how much use could I get from that?

But my good luck held. I met Kerry for coffee yesterday and she delivered my prize. And it is a gorgeous blue leather Melie Bianco handbag!

Okay...now's the part where I try to take a self portrait in the bathroom mirror...

Isn't it cool??? I adore colored handbags but I hardly ever buy them for myself because they're not always as versatile as neutrals. This will go nicely with jeans or when I wear black.

Oh yeah...I cut my hair, too.

Anyway! Thank you, Kerry and I Love Memphis blog and Dazzle for my fabulous new bag! I could not be more thrilled!
