Turquoise Thursday: Handbags

I've feel like I've been in malls this spring way more than normal. And while I am still searching for the perfect wedges I have found more than one perfect handbag. However, I have been yet to pull the trigger on making a purchase. When there are this many choices how can you be sure you pick the right one!

A couple thoughts about each bag in case you are needing some directions for yourself.

1. I love this Dooney and Burke bag. I actually received a black and brown version of this bag for my birthday last year, and it is the perfect size and very durable - ie. it travels well from the office to wedding to the barn for cattle shows.

2. I have always love Kate Spade, but don't own any pieces. They always have so many fun bright colors and styles. Kate Spade has lots more turquoise handbags to choose from.

3. Quite a few years bag I received this Michael Kors turquoise bag in bag. Again another bag that I love and it did great accompanying me along my "rockin' rural lifestyle."

4. I always adore Brahmin bags. They are simply beautiful! For my wedding I carried a royal blue Brahmin clutch for my "something blue."

5. This is brand called Kate Landry that is REALLY reasonable. So far I have only seen it at Dillards. I have an fun wristlet wallet that I love to use on work trips. I can move it quickly from purse to my laptop.

6. I was really surprised that Cole Hahn had a turquoise handbag and thought this was a fun option.

Now I want to hear from you! Which bag would you pick?  

A week of Instagram: Blonde Hair, Baby Calves and Great Shoes

I can feel the calm before the storm. Except is isn't really that calm. So maybe I am in the hail storm before the tornado hits? We are breeding cows, the boy is planting corn when the fields are dry enough, lots of work projects going and we are headed to the Kentucky Derby next weekend! Now that part is really exciting. So what else happened this week?

It was time for a hair cut. So three inches came off this week. Also, I got my hair colored! My hair is really blonde, however this winter I noticed it has gotten a little darker. So we put some low lights in it and now it has give me a "jump" on my summer blonde, and I love it!

From this picture you would think we have had a beautiful week on the farm. In reality it has been cold! Like below freezing at night, windy and rainy cold. The tractors have come to a standstill and planting won't start again until it dries up. Our cows are liking the moisture though because that means more grass for them.

We are in a combination of calving and breeding cows. This little guy was born the night before this picture and he was very curious about my Steve Madden wedges. Who says farm girls can't wear heels. Earlier in the day these wedges toured two warehouses full of livestock feed and supplements.

I hope you've had a great week too! If you missed out on the Beauty Swap Link Up make sure you check it out. Lots of reviews on all kind of products, and there is still time to link up if you were a swapper.
