To further my girly cause, I've fashioned a fortress comprised of "In Style" and "Town & Country" issues and superduperdelicious cupcakes (more on these later) and am considering throwing some, ahem, FPs on top for good measure - just picture a slightly more stylish, tasty take on the refrigerator box fort you used to make in your backyard as a kid, and you'll get the idea - but I'm finding that a bit of fantasy retail therapy is also in order to ensure the boys will keep away for a bit.
And so I bring you my fall 2008 lineup of Fantasy Handbags, a lineup of classic purses so extraordinarily beyond the Pretty Budget that there is no risk of my actually ordering them. Nay, much like an ethereal, captivating work of art, I merely enjoy basking in their beauty and knowing that they exist somewhere in the world. I would of course be even more overjoyed if they existed in MY world, but at least they are distracting me from conversations about bodily fluids or the AP Rankings . . . so without further ado:
Tod's Dokt Tote. Love the prim outline in the interesting color as well as the totally useless yet wonderful key fob thingy. Not unlike the Kelly bag (WHICH I WILL OWN ONE DAY IF THE UNIVERSE CARES ONE WHIT ABOUT ME. Sigh.), no?

I've decided the logo-y "Y" actually stands for "Y doesn't the Universe put this in Pretty's Christmas stocking post haste?" and is therefore acceptable (and looks removable to boot). Otherwise, faboo color & again with the prim, classic silhouette.

Lovelies, what are your fall fantasy handbags?

I thought Goyard was hideous, until I stepped inside the Goyard store in the Westin St. Francis.
I am dying for all things Prada:

Damn Neiman's "The Book."
love the tod's and YSL purses, great list!
These handbags are gorgeous! I have always wanted a classic black Chanel bag and/or a Birkin bag. I don't know if I will ever own one, but we can dream!
Miss Pretty, what a delightful post, although we keep returning to the comments on the deep-fried cookie dough. It holds a fascination for us we can't seem to let go of...!
Wonderful handbags!

I've been slowly adding to my Goyard collection and I LOVE it!! Question: are Sprinkles as good as Hey Cupcake cupcakes? Also, since you love them as I do, have you tried Sugar Mama's on South First?
OOOOOOOOH! Pretty bags!!! I really want an ostrich bag this year- they are so stylish!
my fall fantasy bags are birkin and kelly. clearly, those will be my lifetime fantasy bags because a) i will likely never be able to afford one and b) i am not important enough to make it to the top of anyone's wait list for one.
i can dream, right?
Ahhh I love the side bow! I am seriously obsessed with anything with bows. :)

And I'm ashamed of myself
I love the YSL - I think I just saw it on the arm of the Barefoot Contessa in the Nov. issue of T&C magazine. If it's not that bag it's a dead ringer for it.
I have a small Goyard and well, I have to admit that although I love it, I wouldn't have bought one myself. Chanel on the other hand is a different story - I have one of the classic 2.55 bags but I read last week that they are raising their prices by 20% in November so that may be my first and last.
