It’s always so much fun to wear my little flower pot purse! Yes, I know, it has a name; but it looks like a flower pot to me so that is what I shall call it! haha
The weather has been fabulous, so I took my kids to meet some friends at Santana Row for a stroll along the Row, and also a yummy lunch at The Counter. I had a southern fried chicken burger with provolone cheese, and dried cranberries, on a brioche bun with a side of shoestring fries, and pesto sauce. It was a really good combo! I’m going to try it with beef next time; or the impossible burger. Have you tried it? It’s so good!
This outfit was perfect for a relaxing afternoon with friends. This might be my new favorite “throw-on” tee for the spring and summer seasons. It’s really comfy and I love the loose fit. It comes in a few additional colors, so I might pick up one more!
Are you enjoying the spring weather we are getting? Hopefully it won’t get hot too quickly; this weather is perfect!
How cute is this Staud Moreau netted bucket bag! This bag started to pop up last summer when netted bags, straw bags, and wooden bags gained popularity. It wasn’t until this spring that the Staud Moreau handbag launched into cult IT bag status. The most amazing part? It is priced under $500! Love that!
I started to eye this bag last year, but was not sure which color to purchase one in. I liked the tan, but have found in the past that caramel and tan bags end up sitting in my closet. I tend to wear black, white, or colorful bags the most. So when I spotted the Staud Moreau netted bucket bag in red for spring 2018, I decided it was time to pull the trigger and buy one! I am so happy I did!
This fun little bucket bag resembles a flower pot, and for the longest time I didn’t know the official name of the bag. I have been calling it the flower pot bag! It looks like a flower pot inside of a macrame net which could be hung on a patio for decor. I think the flower pot aesthetic is what makes this bag so much fun! I have always wanted a kitschy handbag, but most of them are so specific and funky, I never wanted to spend money on them for fear I would get bored of said kitschy bag, and it would end up collecting dust on a shelf.
The Staud Moreau bucket bag offers a kitschy look without being too far out there; so I am certain I will actually wear it without letting the bag collect any dust! Since this bag is a bucket bag shape, it is super practical!
The interior of the Staud Moreau netted bucket bag is roomy and open. The round shape, and shallow depth, enables you see what’s inside, making it easy to find everything inside bag. This is what makes the Staud Moreau netted bucket bag practical and easy to wear on a daily basis.
The two handles are comfortable too! It is easy to carry either by hand, or hung on your forearm. The leather, although structured, is smooth and soft; allowing for comfortable handles. The only concern I have about the exterior is the macrame netting. I want to make sure I don’t let it catch on anything. So far, so good! That being said, the netting is quite sturdy, so if it does catch on something, it should survive OK.
It is easy to fit my daily purse essentials inside the Staud Moreau netted bucket bag. My wallet, iPhone, lipstick, sunglasses, and keys fit easily inside with plenty of room left for the things my kids ask me to carry for them. I love the fact that this bag is roomy. In the warmer months I am always throwing extra items in my bag such as sunblock, small water bottles, and snacks.
All in all, I love this bag! It is super easy to wear as a daily handbag, and the quality is strong and sturdy. I also love the fun silhouette, and calling it my “flower pot bag.”
It’s so nice to finally see sunshine! Not only has the sun come out, but temperatures are pushing their way towards 70! Yippee!!! I am SO ready for warmer weather!
When I saw the sun shining the other day, I decided it was time to wear a skirt and tee! (please forgive my pasty white legs-I will work on that!) It felt amazing to wear my go-to espadrilles, a skirt, and a tee shirt. Well, until an icy wind spoiled all the fun! But I digress. . .
This was a great outfit to wear the other day, until the wind came around and made everything so very cold! I love a denim skirt in place of jeans for a casual day. Also, tee’s are my go-to tops in warmer weather, so it was nice to be able to find this one with these cute little ruffle sleeves. The ruffles really elevate it from a regular tee, to a really cool tee! 😉 I might have to pick up another one in a different color!
Lastly, I have to give a shout-out to this flower pot bag. I wore this outfit while strolling along Santana Row with my kids the other day and this bag was so easy to carry. It also had plenty of room for all the little things my daughter made me carry! haha It’s a super fun bag, and I find it amusing that it looks like a flower pot. Stay tuned, I will do a review on this bag very soon!
