When I went to NYFW last year, I met Lexie. I’d actually been following her for a while and thought there was no way she could be like her Instagram irl– she’s too cute and too perfect! But when I met her, I was pleasantly surprised! She somehow was exactly like her candy-pink brand but also a real person! She was wearing a tiara headband and a pastel lace dress in February in New York, a beacon of sunshine in a cold, grey city. And I actually got to know a little bit about how and where her blog came from. That’s her story to tell, not mine, but I will say that every time I see a sweet Ted Baker bag I think of her and I couldn’t do this post without a nod to the sweetest girly-girl!
I first started loving Ted Baker a few years ago during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. I needed just a good, solid, black leather tote and I was between the Ted Baker and the Kate Spade. They were essentially the same with a rather sizable price difference. You’ve seen my pick here. It’s pretty much the most perfect black purse- not gigantic but a great size for lugging crap to and from the office in a dignified manner.
Since I picked up that gem, I’ve noticed that their bags go way beyond the simple black I needed and wanted that day. Actually my “wedding purse” (spoiler- future brides, you won’t need or want one) was the Luanne iPad Mini 4 Envelope Clutch (it came in pink with rose gold hardware at the time. I’m draw to their pearl, pink, bow, and generally girly embellishments. They kind of remind me of softer, more sophisticated Betsey Johnson.
